The story behind the bottle.
Lilac Time by Houbigant was launched in 1940, marking an era where floral scents were emblematic of feminine elegance and refinement. This fragrance opens with a lush bouquet of lilacs that evoke the delicate sweetness of spring. The heart notes introduce a subtle blend of jasmine and rose, adding depth without overpowering the primary lilac accord. The base is anchored by a warm mix of musk and vanilla, creating an enveloping warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply Lilac Time to your pulse points for the best longevity. The top notes of lilac are bright and fleeting, so a few sprays will ensure you capture its essence throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to the skin than in the open air.
