Art Meets Art Lilac Wine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Frank Voelkl. Lilac Wine opens with Violet, Lavender, and Plum, settles into a heart of Cognac, Freesia, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Moss. Art Meets Art's Lilac Wine carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a misnomer - don't go looking for actual lilac or wine here. Instead, expect a surprisingly warm, elegant lavender-cedar blend that's divided opinions on whether it lives up to its evocative name, but still delivers a sophisticated, calming vibe.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, understated character makes it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The comforting musk and woods lend themselves well to a relaxed date or even a muted formal setting, though it's too composed for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Lilac Wine opens with a soothing wave of lavender, softened by a delicate touch of violet and the subtle, dark fruitiness of plum. As it settles, a clean, inviting musk emerges, underscored by warm cedar. Hints of cognac are there for depth, but it's the interplay of herbal lavender and woody warmth that truly defines this sophisticated, understated scent.
