Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. L.I.L.Y opens with Truffle and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Stella McCartney's L.I.L.Y carries a Statement verdict, a earthy-led wear.

Divisive and unique, L.I.L.Y splits opinion right down the middle. Some find it a clean, modern chypre, others get an "old lady" vibe. This one demands a strong personality to pull off.

About

L.I.L.Y opens with a sharp, peppery kick, swiftly followed by an earthy truffle and the delicate sparkle of lily of the valley. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by a classic oakmoss and patchouli base, creating a dry, green, and subtly floral scent with a hint of spice. It's a walk through a damp, mossy woodland, not a sweet garden.
