Description
This stop of the journey was Nepal, in search of a more intimate and solitary spirituality in an ancient capital renowned for its marvellous, mystical, higher state of being. A country where history, civilisation, and myths intertwine, Nepal places the traveller in cosmic time, perfect for exploring the soul and discovering one’s innermost self. Lillipur is a spectacular agglomeration of temples. Standing out among them is the incredibly beautiful Golden Temple. Here, in every corner, huge braziers burn with incense to aid meditation. Lillipur is considered one of the most spiritual places on Earth! This trip was the inspiration for this perfume; in a precious gold bottle, it is filled with the transcendent spirit of the place. This perfume represents the Mystical Fire of the soul and profound understanding. The perfume expresses itself slowly to the wearer, i.e. the traveller; it accompanies them all day long in an intimate sensory experience, one which is continually unfolding. Every inward breath of the perfume is a step closer to one’s true self.

Comprato per curiosità a un prezzo accessibile ma il risultato è stato molto povero.
Frizzantino banale,un debole sentore di cannella,un attimo di spezie non definite e poi una base già pronta usata da quasi tutti i profumi Montale e Mancera.
Non mi evoca niente,nessuna emozione,solo delusione.

Today I’ve got one of the most sensational, unique and inspirational perfumes ever. Lillipur By Tiziana Terenzi is a wonderful smell of your soul, heart and mind & the harmony between them. This fragrance is really different from most of traditional oriental scents. Lillipur is so about meditation, freedom, relaxation and independence. Sometimes you need to enjoy the time with yourself and you can do it perfectly with this scent.
The full perfume composition is so rich, well blended, magical, divine, full of contrasts and new experiences, made of the best ingredients. It’s so long lasting (more than 12 h) as all the Tiziana Terenzi scents. This perfume is not for everyone, when you wear it you plunge into the world of happiness, unique ideas and even ecstasy. The presentation is always on the highest level of Italian luxury. The box and the bottle are real esthetic pleasures for your eyes and hands. Thank you so much for another perfume masterpiece!!!

I almost bought a bottle but my sister got a smell of the sample and said ” this smells like the out door mall in Sacramento, like I just graduated and went there to go shopping. ” So instead had to buy her the bottle for her birthday. I can’t wear the same stuff she wears unfortunately! I still LOVE this stuff, clean, mysterious, captivating. No one has ever smelt this before and people will ask you!

Another unwise decision to buy blindly… HATED THIS WITH A PASSION!! I had a pretty bad experience with sambuca liqueur and because of it, the smell of licorice makes me sick even the slightest hint of licorice turns my stomach so once I smell the licorice in this fragrance on the Shelf it went…. Should’ve paid better attention. Didn’t realize star anise was so prominent in this… YUK!

A beautiful incense based Oriental from this interesting Italian house. Very spiritual and meditative. Has a powdery dry down. Moderate sillage and longevity but beautiful construction.

When my nose first encountered Lillipur, I immediately started reminiscing about Asian cookery. That star anise, so delicious, herbal and woody, dark like licorice, magically cleansing.
Combined with bitter, herbal wormwood and frankincense, Lillipur is a powerful, medicinal tonic. Peppery, fresh, complex, counterbalanced by cashmere and patchouli to give this a pulpy feel that is somehow kin to oud.
I don’t find much warmth in the base, but there is a certain softness that develops with delicate carnation. Lillipur remains cooly energetic and stirring… some kind of witchery in this golden bottle. Perhaps too cleansing to induce an inner exploration of self as is the intent of this creation as this is a definite wakening to my conscience like a 5am alarm clock. Nothing transcendental or soothing for me, but a very unique and curious creation that is all about the perfume, not the wearer.

I was very keen to smell this perfume since it has been released and finally I received a vial from a generous friend.
Although the notes sound very promising, I have to admit that this perfume is very linear. It has very good lasting power, but is a “quiet” perfume that is barely recognisable by others. However, you will be wrapped in a small cloud of anise and cinnamon which gives sort of a relaxing feeling and therefore it is perfectly suitable for office wear IMO. At the drydown you will also detect the tonka bean as well, which is the sexiest part of the development…
Nevertheless, I would not spend money on a full bottle. It is a nice creation but just not my cup of tea…

Interesting.. odd.. I can see a small audience finding it soothing. Like a cinnamon-licorice spiced hand cream with a subtle green bitterness. Can’t say I’ve smelled anything similar to it before! If it wasn’t for something strangely hygenic about its core it would be a success for me. Instead it’s just “unique”
smerch130492 – :
I should start by saying this smells great and has subtle performance.
This seems to be the kind of scent that smells different to everybody. My interpretation is probably unique.
To me, Lillipur smells like my grandfather. Whether that is natural old man smell or the smell of the apartment, this is what it reminds me of.
I’ll probably buy this in his memory.

Should be far more intense and long lasting. Otherwise good scent and combination of notes just not worth the investment
I have 100+ niche samples for swap within Europe – updated spreadsheet of samples on my profile, get in touch!

A strong wormwood note is greeting me first together with a very kind and gentle lemon and a shy star anise followed by cashmere wood, frankincense and sichuan pepper and some very soft aromatic floral notes added.. The cinnamon is holding back at this stage, but the cedar is fighting for his spot..After a while the notes calm down and the very comforting phase begins: lovely cozy warm slightly aromatic (but nothing harsh anymore) and smoky woody base. Now, I can smell the cinnamon better but still very smooth..Overall a soft smoky woody fragrance with great longevity.

Opens with a blast of lemon followed quickly by aromas of absinthe, frankincense and peppery spices. The frankincense is the center of attention throughout, but a citrusy floral accord leads to a dry down that features amber and soft wood. This never feels heavy, lasts and projects. Well done. I like it, but probably not a purchase. Thumbs up, though!

Love this fragrance. Sometimes I layer it with Intense Cafe by Montale and it truly shines. It’s a seductive woodsy incense resin mix that is calm and endearing. Easy to get carried away with harsh woods, this scent remains grounded and meditative, as though absorbed in its own thought. Sillage is long and powerful, especially when layered. However, it is soft – not nauseating nor headache inducing. Spicy velvet, pure lust.
PS- to all wondering where you can purchase, try lucky scent 🙂 Decent price, $145 per 100ml
PPS- if you love Tom Ford’s “Oud Wood”, you will be drawn to this as well

I just had Lilipur and I am disappointed because this is not what I expect from a perfume.
At the presentation is fine, when the fragrance is not here at all.
I compared it with the air of the Moroccan desert Andy Tauer, that – following an excellent performance and durablilté while it is only a water closet while intense Lilipur is a sample of perfume to an outfit normal and well below what a perfume extract but an eau de parfum.
When comparing prices, A.Tauer is more expensive for 50ml but he keeps his promises, Lilipur is more accessible for 100ml but you are paying for his presentation at the smell is just a perfume but its price could be reviewed cheaper here to forget.
This is my first attempt at Tiziana Terenzi but I will not go further with this brand!

Wow, it has never happened before that I would be the first to review a fragrance.
Lillipur is oriental, woody and spicy but all those notes are soft and well balanced. No nausea, no headache just pure loveliness.
It’s on my want-list now. Only problem is where can I find this?
