The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, My Fair Lily by Atkinsons is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of the brand’s traditional elegance while embracing modern nuances. The scent opens with watery notes and chamomile, creating a fresh and herbal atmosphere. This lightness gives way to the rich, creamy presence of Casablanca lily, which is softened by vetiver and patchouli in the base. The composition is both earthy and woody, making it a unisex fragrance that feels equally at home on any skin.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — the watery top notes are delicate and dissipate quickly. The base notes will develop gradually over time, so one or two sprays on pulse points should suffice to allow the scent to evolve naturally throughout the day.
