It is a very good lilac. I have the soap, as well. However, Highland Lilac is true lilac to me. I lived in Illinois for six years, and the neighbor across the street had lilac bushes. In the Spring I would open my windows and revel in the smell of those beautiful blooms! Highland Lilac brings all that back to me with one whiff. Goes on true lilac, and stays that way for me.

i wore this yesterday for easter. it depicts spring lilacs perfectly. a couple of light sprays are all you need as sillage and longevity are both good, too much could be cloying. this is a lovely spring scent.
thank you to rkrchk for this nice little gem.

I was very disappointed in the Caswell-Massey Lilac. At first, it reminded me of cheap men’s cologne. Eventually, it smells more like lilac–yet with a shampoo-y undertone. It was very unpleasant to me, though I did not get a headache.
I prefer the Highland Lilac scent (though, on my skin, it lasted less than one hour).

My experience with this frag has been pretty different: I’ve never met a more realistic and reliable lilac juice kept in a bottle than C.and M’s ‘Lilac’! It’s a simple soliflore frag – but normally there’re also many other ingredients to help with the composition! – Some years ago, I found a 50 ml of it in a good perfumery shop, though I also bought other scents of the same brand I believe that Lilac is the best in their collection, being it very faithful to the flower scent. For me this is a joyous tribute to lilac’s season – too short!!!- spring and flowers in blossom. The simplicity of something natural can help to distract from the anxiety and it is also good when you want to relax your senses with something less complicated but unmistakably good: everybody seems to like it no matter age, class or genre, probably because there are very few fragrances – not to say inexistent – (in Europe at least) that have taken lilac in any consideration. Persistence is a tour de force, with a minimum quantity I could go far and wide. Lovely sillage. Unfortunately, since then, I couldn’t find another bottle as it seemed the brand has stopped selling in Europe.

I have this in a soap.
I was determined to find any lilac fragrance since lilac is hard to find in fragrance at all.
I smelled the package of this soap, and that was it.
The day of shopping at the mall was over because I had to go home and just had to take a shower with this soap.
I loved it so much, I slept with the package nearby, inhaling every wonderful heady fragrance…….and then something strange happened.
I got sick of it around 3am. I broke my olfactory nerves! lol
I guess I over did it.
So, back in the package it went, with the other two cakes, and out of sight, buried on the bottom of my bathroom drawer for about 6 months until my olfactory nerves healed up.
I can’t say I hate it. That doing was my own fault. But I do like it a lot.

I love the scent of pure lilac, so I was very hopeful when I ordered this perfume. When first sprayed it was somewhat reminiscent of lilac, then it dried down into nothing but a heavy, cloying, spicy smell. I will not purchase again.
