Lilac Love

A powdery lilac cloud sweetened with white chocolate. Lilac Love by Amouage is one of the house's most distinctive feminine fragrances, a powdery floral gourmand that sets soft lilac and heliotrope against creamy cocoa, tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood. It was created by perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Élise Bénat and launched in 2016. The Story Lilac Love is the first fragrance in Amouage's Secret Garden Collection. Because the lilac flower yields no extractable scent, the perfumers recreated the bloom as an accord, giving it animalic and powdery tones balanced by jasmine and rose. It is made at a 20% oil concentration and aged for six weeks: three weeks of maceration followed by three weeks of maturation. How It Smells Opening A soft bouquet of lilac, heliotrope and peony, with gardenia adding a creamy white-floral lift. Heart Within minutes a creamy cocoa note emerges, giving a delicate white-chocolate effect rather than a dark gourmand sweetness. Orris and tonka bean add a powdery, gourmand warmth. Dry Down Powdery, elegant and slightly cosmetic, with vanilla, iris and sandalwood forming a luxurious, velvety finish over a musky trail.
