    What do reviewers say about Lily Essence and Classique?

    A powdery white floral with genuine structure. The fruit opening is warm, the floral heart is lush, the drydown is comforting without being heavy. Some find the powder too much.Lily Essence
    The sillage is not subtle. People will smell you before they see you. That's not a warning, it's the point. Classique is for the woman who walks into a room and changes the air in it.Classique
