This was my high school fragrance and it is hands down one of the best fragrances out there. The florals are intensely tropical, warm, even verging on spicy, from what I remember. There’s a tropical fruity aspect to it that’s very uncommon…guava? starfuit? mango? I had a .5 oz of the rounded bottle (pictured). Now they cost an arm and a leg. I’m not willing to spend the money at this point because I’m afraid it might not satisfy like I remember, my tastes having changed drastically. But I do encourage those who love tropical, surfer-inspired, unique summery scents to try it out.

Oh, Lilu… I had this in college, and boy, was it heavenly! I remember smelling my then-roommate’s bottle for the first time and absolutely swooning. I wish I could find a better official description of its notes than just “floral,” and I definitely wish my nose had been as well-trained in those days as it is now so that I could better remember it, and I wish the few available on Ebay weren’t so godawful expensive (I just can’t), and, most of all, I wish they would put this out again in the original formulation. It was a gem.

I really enjoyed Lilu as a teen, but am not so fond of it now. I do feel as though the formula isn’t the same as it was the first time I had it. In my teens, the bottle looked as it does in the photo above. The new bottle I have is more rectangular. The scent smells, for lack of better words, more cheap in this newer bottle than I remember with the old bottle. Maybe I’m just mature now, who knows. All I know, is I’m not a huge fan, and I barely wear this. However, I do find if I spray it on what I’m going to wear a few hours before I am actually going to wear the outfit, the smell is bearable. The longevity and sillage is very strong with this one. I find it sweet and full of floral notes.

Fresh and Clean without the Scream
I blind-bought Lilu after searching 3 stores in two different states to test it. Apparently, it is quite popular, as no stores had it in stock. Even after I broke down and decided to order it, I could no longer get it off of the PacSun website either! So, to Amazon I went, looking for an after-market seller.
The main reason I wanted to sniff Lilu is because someone recommended it after I asked what perfumes smell like Clorox 2 Colorsafe Bleach Powder. Clorox 2 is one of my favorite smells that I remember from childhood, and I really wanted a scent that reminded me of it. Short answer is that Lilu does not smell like Clorox 2, but they have similar auras, let’s say.
The opening probably contains some light citrus that provides the fresh burst at the beginning, but this is not a strong citrus. It’s light and pleasant. The most interesting thing about the top notes is there is a creaminess early on. It’s unique and helps keep this fresh floral from being too sharp. I’m not sure what lends this effect to Lilu.
When you smell it on a strip, it seems like it will smell like a million other fragrances. It really blooms on the skin and is more unique than I expected. Among the fresh flowers (probably freesia, maybe lily, maybe soft jasmine, frangipani, passion flower?), I’m also sensing some slight fruitiness. Maybe a few sweet berries or lychee.
Many have stated that this perfume is best for a young girl in spring time. I agree that it is great for this profile, but I think it is still very wearable by anyone who wants a fresh, quiet, breezy scent that has a slight bit of juiciness to it.
Lilu wears pretty close to the skin, and its longevity is moderate. I’m pleased with my purchase overall.

This was the first real perfume I ever purchased for myself and it was about 7 or 8 years ago! I still love the scent but what’s left in my bottle no longer smells the same; it has more of a rustic scent as opposed to the bright sharp scent it used to have. I wish they would rerelease it.

I like this perfume, but it smells terrible on me. On other people, it’s great. But for some reason when I wear it it just smells sharp and spicy.

Heh, this has finally been added to the database. I was gifted this by my sister in law years ago. It isn’t sweet– more feminine, sporty, happy. I wear it occasionally as a casual, summer or spring fume. It makes me feel young, surfer-girly. It really isn’t my style though– it would be a great all round scent for a girl in her teens or early 20s, but a tad young for a 30 something mom like myself.

The short answer: Imagine Clinique Happy, minus the citrus.
The long answer: Lilu is a combination of Hawaiian wedding flower, macadamia nut, and salty ocean breeze. There is zero sweet. It begins very strong and soapy- then warms to a soft, romantic fragrance. This one can be worn at school/work, family occasions, or on a date. Not in your face, but this perfume has significant longevity and respectable sillage. Lilu has a cult following of women who kicked, screamed, and cried in their pillows until it was re-released by PacSun…And, I’m one of them.
