Pacifica Beauty French Lilac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. French Lilac opens with Nectarine, and settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Ylang-Ylang, Magnolia, and Heliotrope. Pacifica Beauty's French Lilac carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is *the* photo-realistic lilac, pure and simple. For something so affordable, it's an absolute gem that punches above its weight. While some find the strong floral a bit much, most adore its true-to-life freshness, making it a beloved, if tragically discontinued, classic for floral enthusiasts.

About

Imagine a stroll through a blooming spring garden, brimming with the heady perfume of lilac and hyacinth. This fragrance captures that moment, a fresh, green, and slightly powdery floral fantasy. Hints of magnolia and ylang-ylang add depth, while a gentle nectarine sweetness rounds out the composition, creating an incredibly authentic and pure lilac experience from opening to a soft, lingering drydown.
