Frédéric Malle Lys Mediterranee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Edouard Fléchier. Lys Mediterranee opens with Sea Water, Bergamot, Lemon, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Angelica, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Frédéric Malle's Lys Mediterranee carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This is a masterpiece, a hyperrealistic lily, and most can't get enough. A significant minority find the marine notes too sharp or the lily too dense, but for most, it's a sublime aquatic-floral experience that transports you to a Mediterranean summer.

About

Imagine a cool morning shower of sea spray over a blooming lily garden. This scent opens with a burst of crisp sea water and zesty bergamot, quickly joined by the lush, green heart of lily, complemented by delicate lotus and a whisper of spicy ginger. It settles into a soft, musky embrace with subtle warmth from amber and vanilla, maintaining its fresh, natural elegance throughout.
