Penhaligon's Lily & Spice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Lily & Spice opens with Lily and Saffron, settles into a heart of Pepper and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Benzoin.

This lily bomb is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect hyperreal, heady florals with a spicy, earthy kick that divides opinion. If you adore lilies, this discontinued gem is your holy grail; if not, you might find it overwhelming.

About

Opens with an incredibly realistic, rich lily, reminiscent of a full bouquet with a hint of earthy dew. Saffron adds a nuanced, slightly medicinal warmth before a burst of pepper and clove introduces a bold, spicy heart. The dry-down settles into a sensual blend of musky patchouli, soft vanilla, and benzoin, maintaining a deep floral presence throughout.
