Lilac Love

by Nathalie Lorson , Elise Bénat

Amouage Lilac Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Nathalie Lorson and Elise Bénat. The fragrance opens with Rose, Jasmine, Lilac, and Peony, settles into a heart of Orris, Cacao Pod, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Lilac Love: Acquired

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.
