About

Opening with a fresh, slightly watery lily, Scarlet Lily quickly blossoms into a creamy blend of heady lily and exotic ylang-ylang. The initial freshness gives way to a warm, subtly sweet amber base, providing depth and a touch of golden richness. It’s a full-bodied floral that feels opulent without being cloying, with hints of fruity creaminess and a clean, expensive soapiness.
