Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, delicate, and often moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear without being intrusive. However, its perceived lack of 'complexity' and occasional issues with longevity mean it's less ideal for formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired, and its gentle nature doesn't align with sporty activities.

About

Lilac Path opens with an overwhelmingly authentic blast of fresh lilac, as if you've plunged your face into a blooming bush, complete with green stems and leafy bitterness. This initial vibrancy mellows into a creamy white floral heart of jasmine and honeysuckle, softened by gently green angelica and galbanum. The dry-down retains a fresh, sometimes powdery, floral character, reminiscent of spring air and sun-drenched gardens.
