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:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and subtle sillage make it ideal for office and casual daytime wear, as it won't overpower. While it could work for a relaxed date, it's not a typical 'date night' fragrance and its understated nature might be lost in more formal settings.

About

Des Lys opens with a delicate, almost dewy lily, capturing the true essence of the flower without becoming overwhelming. This fresh floral core is quickly interwoven with the crisp, slightly bitter greenness of ivy, adding an earthy, verdant counterpoint. A hint of blackcurrant weaves through, not for sweetness, but to provide a subtly tart and astringent quality, keeping the composition grounded and unexpectedly intriguing from start to finish.
