O Boticário My Lily is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Clément Gavarry. My Lily opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, Lily of the Valley, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Cashmeran. O Boticário's My Lily carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This green floral is a divisive one. Some find it a watery, unique marvel, while others smell a weak Daisy clone. If you want a lily, look elsewhere; this is all about violet.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

With moderate longevity and sillage, this isn't a powerhouse scent, making it ideal for casual wear and the office where subtlety is appreciated. It's too understated for formal events but perfectly suits a spring day out.

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.

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

My Lily opens with a fresh, slightly fruity burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly joined by a prominent, almost aquatic violet leaf. As it settles, a bouquet of soft florals emerges, with delicate lily of the valley and magnolia playing supporting roles to the dominant violet. The base offers a clean, musky anchor with hints of warm cedar and sandalwood, ensuring a smooth, understated finish.
