To me Lilaia is a bit of Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Hermès fresness (supposed from the mint) plus ZARA Zen Garden Greenness (the ivy note).
Frankly, I do not think this juice worth its price as its short lived longevity.

Lilaia compared to Calaluna fit less obviously and more interesting another idea crafted by Andrier in a creation that also worked with Galbanum in a important way. This inspiration goes back to ancient times to homage a stone appreciated by Egyptians Pharaohs, the Peridote, while the name is a reference to a Greek deity associated with spring. The theme revolves around the green and exotic, but exotic worked in the more minimalist jewelry aesthetics, which fits in the olfactory signature ofAndrier. To Lilaia she brings her galbanum and musks accord used in Margiela Untittled and gives it an a little refreshing, cooling and slightly resinous air with the combination of mint and lentiques. What gives me a distinct aura in this fragrance and curiously is not highlighted is a floral accord that clearly refers to jade flow, a type of tea made with infusion of jasmine petals in green tea leaves. At first you can give the impression that the green tea accord alludes to the first perfume brand, but there is a greener look and slightly smokiness typical of green tea and that is not present in the creation of Jean Claude Ellena. Finally, you can see a clever use mate tea clever functioning as abase note and emulating alternatively a patchouli aroma. As much as there are familiar aspects, Lilaia seems richer and better worked and is successful in balancing a transparent aura and a consistent performance of an EDP concentration.

This is light and refreshing, but not bracing or sneeze worthy. This is spring.

Gorgeous. But too light. Maybe a spring/summer one

Lilaia was a Naiad of Spring to the Greeks and Romans. A fresh water nymph and daughter of the river Kephisos. She also lends her name to this green fresh fragrance by Bvlgari. Lilaia is inspired by the green Peridot a gem of rebirth and change. So fittingly this is a beautiful aromatic slightly fruity perfume. The notes are Galbanum, Mastic absolute, mint, bitter orange and musk. The Mastic give the aromatic resinous galbanum a full round lushness of a green Mediterranean forest of pine and cedar like accords. This to me smells like the umbrella pines on the Palatine hill in Rome. There in the Farnese gardens at the top of the hill just before you enter the ruins of the imperial palaces there is an overlook perched over the Forum. At that spot, under those umbrella pines you are enveloped in the most wonderful woody green scent. This to me is where Lilaia now lives singing her song in harmonious lovely notes.
