What do reviewers say about Lilac and You??
If you want lilac, you want lilac. Not lilac-adjacent, not inspired-by-lilac. This is the note itself, stripped of any reason to overthink it. Some people want complexity. You want the block.Lilac
It's a skin scent with ambitions. Not the one that fills the room, it's the one that makes someone lean in. The fig-milk-white chocolate axis isn't exactly novel.You?
