So far the more realistic lilac scent I came across! Lilac is my favorite flower scent of all the flowers in the world and this one is spot on!! I feel like spring is all around me when I wear this one! Love it!!

I grew up with lilac trees around my house. Demeter nailed this scent perfectly, it is unmistakably lilac. I won’t be wearing this, because it’s an extremely strong smell, and too floral/perfumey for my tastes. However, it makes an excellent air freshener anytime I want to make my house smell wonderful or be reminded of summers back home.

The scent of lilac is just about my favorite scent in the whole wide world, but sadly, I do not love Demeter Fragrance’s take on it. I wanted to love it, but it is too heavy and it almost makes me nauseous. To me, it smells like overblown lilacs. There is something foul in the scent, a hint of something that resembles rot and decay.

It smells more like a lilac cream than the actual lilac blossom. It is missing the warm aromatic scent that “Yves rocher pur de sir de lilas” has. (the original made in France bottle not the US version). Unfortunately discontinued… sign.

This smells like spring! This is a true lilac which smells sweet, fresh, and slightly spicy. I purchased several single note floral samples from Demeter including Lilac. This is wonderful to wear on its own but it might be fun to blend with lily-of-the-valley too.

Probably my favorite from Demeter. Spot on! I have the perfume and the room spray. I’d say it’s a soliflore …there’s just a teeeeeny, small, miniscule hint of green in there somewhere, and it makes it all the more real and fresh.

Basic but REAL watery moist Lilac! Smells a lot like Pacifica Lilac.
Demeter does “real flowers” extremely well! Some of their “fringe” scents fail and some are amusing however.
P.S. Shocking longevity!! I get all day whiffs!
BestsellerMag – :
It’s pretty but too “classic”/perfumy; I’d stick with Pacifica if I wanted an ultra-cheap lilac.
Neloplure – :
I am liking this one. Smells like spring! Nice and simple.
Tarlodiatal – :
This is for the oil: It’s flowery and powdery. It doesn’t last long and I’m practically the only one who smells it when I wear it, but it transports me to a purple cloud. I do like it!

I’m really surprised – after I sprayed this, I needed to wash it off my arms, change my shirt, and throw open my bedroom window (with 20 degree temps outside). Half hour later, I’m still feeling nauseous from this. Wow, that was a strong reaction! This is one Demeter that is not for me!
aleksei1003 – :
The nicest of the Demeter range in my opinion. A stronger scent that most of their other fragrances, in the sense of silage and longevity.
A real lilac scent, nothing artificial here, charming, romantic, delightful, has a sweet vintage air, and a timeless beauty.

I like to combine the lilac with the riding crop (leather) fragrance. The leather lasts longer than the lilac, but both are nice individually and together.
VladAmI – :
A pretty, soft, powdery lilac. It lacks the snap of green I like in a lilac, but it’s very nice. Super feminine.
The sillage is moderate and I only get around 4 hours longevity from it, but I don’t really mind that at Demeter prices. I like layering this with their Cucumber fragrance for a lovely, crisp, hot day kind of feel.
I’m not a fan of full price perfumes intended for layering, I tend to think of it as gimmicky. But Demeter perfumes are so cheap that it’s well worth it – plus, they do work well as stand alones.
Pretty, floral and powdery. It doesn’t satisfy my search for the crisp green that often comes with lilac, but it is very nice.
oxi81 – :
Absolutely beautiful. Smells like springtime in a bottle.
marin – :
The Demeter is okay (certainly better than the Caswell-Massey, in my opinion). Something about the Demeter Lilac leaves me a bit disappointed: maybe it’s too powdery for me? Maybe just a trace of herbalness, which I do not like?
I don’t love it, and I don’t hate it. I found that it lasted for several hours on me.

Though this frag is darling on its own–truly an impeccable lilac scent, I agree with the reviewer who said this was good for mixing. I mixed it with Bliss, which is also a fairly linear scent, and the result was heavenly. I plan on layering it with LOTV and grass essential oils to see where it goes. I would imagine most of the Demeter scents are good for experimenting this way.
imenno0n – :
Just picked this up as part of a set (along with Bulgarian Rose and Lavender) and it is very nice. A bit light as it does not last long but perfect for a warm spring or summer day.
Wattaherrop – :
Very interesting. Smells very lovely & fresh & accurate.
I wanted to find something in hyacinth, but that’s a difficult fragrance to find.
Lilac is close to hyacinth is freshness & floral brightness. Great scent, glad Demeter made it.
I don’t otherwise care for most of the other scents Demeter has.

if you love lilac, you’ll love this. my favorite lilac scent comes through in this lovely, long lasting perfume. when it dries you can smell soft lilac all day. very nice.
rde038InsuffBooni – :
I agree with the review below….amazing sillage!
This is a dream when mixing and experimenting too. Lilacs are one of my most favorite floral scents. This Dememter brings back memories of my childhood when I used to play with my friends across the street from my apartment building at a local church’s back yard. There were lilac bushes everywhere. The soft powderiness of the flowers made it such a treat when running around the grounds. The aroma was fascinating to me, and this just took me back there.
You can mix 1 spray of this with 1 of Demeter Patchouli and 2 sprays of whatever linear vanilla you have and make the most beautiful creamy floral dream of a fragrance!

This lacks the stemmy green notes that true lilac has, but it isn’t bad for that. It’s a sweet, creamy lilac blossom scent without edges and I’m rather loving it. Lasts surprisingly well for a Demeter, which has a history of scents that fade quickly. Demeter also has a history for fun and quirky scents, though, so I’m willing to take the early fade for the fun. Lilac has lasted for an easy five hours so far and I can still smell it. Lovely.
