The story behind the bottle.
Lilac Love, launched by Amouage in 2016 and crafted by perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Elise Benat, is a composition that balances sweetness with warmth. The fragrance opens with the delicate floral notes of lilac and gardenia, which create an immediate sense of freshness and lightness. As it settles, the heart reveals richer layers of jasmine and peony, adding depth without becoming heavy. The base of cacao, tonka bean, and vanilla provides a warm, powdery embrace that keeps the scent grounded and intimate.
Apply Lilac Love to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fragrance's base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so allow time for it to settle into your skin before venturing out. It reads best close to the body rather than projecting across a room.
