Through Liis, Sullivan focuses on light, sheer, long-lasting eau de parfums described as “second-skin” scents. The collection emphasizes clean formulations without phthalates, preservatives or unnecessary synthetics, and gender-neutral compositions rooted in memory and emotion. A highlighted scent, Lucienne, showcases her preference for bright, transparent structures built around pomelo, lemon zest, magnolia, marine accords and a salty-citrus glow.
