O Boticário Lily is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Yves Cassar and Verônica Casanova. Lily opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Pear, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. O Boticário's Lily carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's scent, unless your grandma was a chic, confident woman with a penchant for luxurious white florals. Lily is divisive; some find it a sophisticated treasure, others a faded echo of its former self. A creamy, clean fragrance that leans elegant, if not a little mature to some noses.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Lily opens with a bright burst of pear and peach, softened by a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet of white florals - predominantly creamy lily, jasmine, and gardenia - bolstered by powdery iris and violet. The base settles into a warm, cozy blend of musk, amber, and vanilla, with earthy undertones of sandalwood and patchouli providing depth.
