Yves Rocher Pur Desir de Lilas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002. Pur Desir de Lilas settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Almond. Yves Rocher's Pur Desir de Lilas carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is pure lilac, bottled. It's shockingly realistic for some, transporting them back to childhood gardens, but others found it a bit too linear or even 'old lady' almond. A true love-it-or-hate-it lilac, but mostly love.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond

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

Pur Desir de Lilas is a fresh, green burst of lilac, so vibrantly true to the flower that it's almost uncanny. A delicate, soft almond note adds a subtle, almost powdery sweetness throughout, preventing the floral from being too sharp. It's a simple, elegant ode to spring, capturing the essence of lilac bushes in full bloom.
