The story behind the bottle.
Lilas by Houbigant was launched in 1925 and embodies the elegance of a French spring. This floral fragrance opens with fresh, green notes that evoke the first signs of new growth, before transitioning into a heart of soft spiciness and sweetness that adds depth without overpowering the delicate lilac at its core. The composition is both lasting and evocative, capturing the essence of a Parisian garden in bloom.
Apply Lilas to pulse points for a subtle yet enduring presence. The fragrance's delicate floral notes bloom over time and work best close to the skin rather than diffused into the air.
