Princesse Marina De Bourbon Eau de Lys is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. Eau de Lys opens with Lemon, Bamboo, and Apple, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, Cedar, and Clean Musk. Princesse Marina De Bourbon's Eau de Lys carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; for some, it's a lovely, fresh floral, but for others, it just doesn't hit right, smelling distinctly cheap or even unpleasant. Try before you buy, as body chemistry plays a big part here.

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.

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters wear, like the office or casual outings, without being overpowering. The fresh and clean profile means it's generally inoffensive, though some find it lacks distinction for formal events.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Opening with a zesty burst of lemon and crisp green apple, it's quickly softened by the subtle, watery nuance of bamboo. As it settles, a clean floral heart emerges with delicate hyacinth, classic rose, and sweet jasmine. The dry down leaves a gentle trail of soft woody notes, warm amber, a touch of cedar, and a very 'clean' musk.
