The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1999, Lily by Dior is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of femininity and elegance. Perfumer Florence Idier crafted this composition with a bright green and citrus opening that gives way to the delicate scent of lily-of-the-valley, lilac, and jasmine. The heart notes are balanced with rose, while the base of musk and sandalwood provides warmth and depth. This fragrance embodies the grace and sophistication for which Dior is known.
Apply Lily to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The fragrance's citrus opening is bright but fleeting, so allow it time to meld with your skin before reapplying.
