Amouage Lilac Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Nathalie Lorson and Elise Bénat. Lilac Love opens with Rose, Jasmine, Heliotrope, and Peony, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Orris, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Amouage's Lilac Love carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Lilac Love is a divisive, opinionated floral gourmand that splits the room: some find it a unique, powdery dream of lilac and cocoa, while others are put off by its 'old lady' vibe and synthetic sweetness. Not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for purple floral fanatics.

With its moderate to strong projection and lasting power, Lilac Love is well-suited for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for the office. Its cozy warmth makes it great for casual wear in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.

About

Lilac Love is a richly textured floral gourmand, opening with a lush, powdery blast of lilac and heliotrope, underpinned by a creamy bouquet of jasmine, peony, and gardenia. This opulent floral heart gradually melts into a warm, comforting base where soft vanilla and tonka bean mingle with subtle hints of cacao pod and earthy patchouli, creating a sweet yet sophisticated dry-down. It's a complex dance between fresh bloom and a comforting, almost edible depth.
