Latest Reviews of Lilac
A pretty white-floral perfume for ladies. Lilac by Roja Dove is a composite fragrance, where an image of "lilac" is constructed from other ingredients that mimic its traits.Lilac is a fairly linear, straight scent that develops quite slowly and subtly from pure flowers to a more balsamic-woody vibe. Surprisingly not a long-lasting affair, and sillage is moderate but sufficient to leave a delicate, tender white floral trail reminiscent of real lilacs.
A good lilac-violet opening, pleasant and convincing, that is soon accompanied by jasmine and a rose notes. Until this point his is a very nice creation, made of fine natural ingredients. The drydown is alas less exciting. Various woodsy additions together with a somewhat mediocre vanilla and a dull patchouli - on my skin this stage does not develop well.
I get moderate sillage, adequate projection and five hours of longevity.
Whilst the initial stage is a lilac-lover's delight, the rest does not keep up with the high standard the top notes have set. 2.75/5

A bit too relentless in its lilac-ness for me, I wish it had more to say. But nevertheless, this is a very nice extrait and if you love lilac you need to try it.
