Crabtree & Evelyn Lily is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Donna Ramanauskas. Lily opens with Green Notes, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Violet Leaf, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Oakmoss. Crabtree & Evelyn's Lily carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't a true lily scent for everyone, and it has its detractors who find it too ozonic or just plain generic. But for those who get it, Crabtree & Evelyn's Lily is a clean, green white floral that evokes spring and effortless calm, perfect for when you want to feel refreshed and put-together without fuss.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opens with a rush of crisp, verdant green notes, like snapped stems and dewy foliage, immediately followed by the clean, delicate essence of lily of the valley and hyacinth. A subtle, creamy hint of ylang-ylang adds a soft, almost lotion-like quality, while a woody, musky base grounds the whole composition, preventing it from floating away entirely. It's a fresh, uplifting floral with an understated elegance.
