It's the lilac season, one that's all too short but so beautiful. It's an instant ahhh when I take a whiff of my lilacs. They are almost done his year's blooming but if you want to keep that scent going all year there are a few fragrant options.
Lilac is a scent that isn't captured easily in fragrances but my favorite is Frederic Malle En Passant. Before I even sniffed it I knew I would want it and it was my first Malle fragrance. It's such a fresh lilac . Based on white lilac, it does have other notes and I get the bread or wheat note listed , but only a little and it in no way detracts from the lilac.
Another favorite is the lilac powder by Caswell Massey. When I saw they had powder in lilac it was an instant must have. Unfortunately it looks to be discontinued now. There are a few on Amazon still left.
Ineke's After My Own Heart is a gorgeous fragrance , mainly lilac but not completely. Beautiful and soft with green notes , it's very much of the season, and is the kind of scent that lifts you on a warm but rainy day.
Elizabeth W out of San Francisco also makes a lilac fragrance but it's not one I've smelled. I have heard other perfumistas talk about it with praise, though.
