shadowklepto Report post Posted November 27, 2011 My favorite BPAL lilac is Dragon's Eye for sure! I got an Imp of Dragons eye a while back and I can't smell Lilac in it at all. I've also been on the lookout for a crisp Floral lilac smell so far I haven't stumbled upon one other then Lilac Wood that I like. Also been looking for Violets aswell, but I Prefer crisp scents, i find anything with Leather or Tobacco tends to drown out most things on me. Share this post Link to post
Chanter Report post Posted November 27, 2011 Seconding Dragon's Eye here, and how! I'm also a serious lilac fan, and Dragon's Eye was one of the first two imps I ever ordered. I think it's heavenly... but your mileage may vary depending on skin chemistry. Note to self: try The Lilac Wood at some point or other. Share this post Link to post
Elfbait Report post Posted November 27, 2011 You might wish to secure an imp of "Pontarlier" from the Wanderlust collection: "The legendary birthplace of the Green Fairy. Swiss ferns, lilac, blackcurrant, Gallic rose and lavender with a dollop of sugar and absinthe." When I wore it, the lilac note was very fresh and prominent. Share this post Link to post
tziporra Report post Posted September 12, 2013 Hey! Dead thread! I command thee to RIIIIIIISSSSSE! Ahem. I have this: http://shop.birchbayaromatics.com/Angel-Dreams-Perfume-Oil-1-3-oz-P4-ANG.htm Is there a comparable bpal? In the bottle it smells _exactly_ like walking past a bush heavy with lilacs on an unseasonably warm day in May. So much deliciousness! Best, Tzi Share this post Link to post
BoneBone24 Report post Posted September 12, 2013 Have you tried Cordelia? It smells like a great big lilac bush in the middle of the woods to me. Night Thoughts also has that big ol' lilac bush quality, but is a bit more on the cool/ozone side. Cordelia: Lilac, lemon, green tea, wisteria, osmanthus, white cedar, and Chinese musk Night Thoughts: Lilac, blue musk, dianthus, cedar, neroli, ozone, and luminous Eastern herbs Share this post Link to post
sprout Report post Posted April 26, 2016 Any new scents you guys would recommend for my lilac fix? Driving home today, I saw many lilac bushes in bloom and I started craving their smell. I am hoarding Dragon's Eye but I'd like some more lilac dominant blends. Share this post Link to post
PrinceofcatS Report post Posted April 26, 2016 The lilac in Ouija is the most prominent note on me, but judging from other reviews that's not true for everyone. Share this post Link to post

LizziesLuck Report post Posted April 26, 2016 I ADORE lilacs. My faves are Glaucous Snow from the Post, and Eusapia, but I also really like the Lilac Wood. Adante con Fantasia from this year's Lupers is lilac and honey on me with a touch of lime, which is lovely too. Share this post Link to post

LiberAmoris Report post Posted August 11, 2016 I have a new lilac love. The Unicorn, Rushing Against the Tree, Fixed its Horn so Fast in the Trunk that it Could Not Draw it Out: Ethereal white orris, pale early lilacs, mallow flower, Queen of the Night, white moss, and dusk-lit mist. For some reason, the lilac lasts so long on my skin in this blend and it remains a star player from opening to drydown. Definitely back-up bottle worthy. Share this post Link to post

Haltija Report post Posted August 11, 2016 I love Lilac in all forms and just adore when Beth makes scents with it. That said---- One of my all time favorite Lilac scents is Ashlultum from Act 4 of the Carnaval. It's pure lilac and vanilla musk on me and absolutely stunning. Share this post Link to post

Aviatrix Report post Posted March 26, 2017 The new Luper Cave of Treasures is sweetened lilac on me Share this post Link to post
Sakura Tsukikage Report post Posted March 26, 2017 The Lilac Wood is one of my favorite BPAL scents, and I hope it comes back someday! I actually got a lot of lilac from the GC scents Veil (White sandalwood, lilac, gardenia, violet, orris, lavender and ylang ylang) and Nocturne (Deepest violet touched with lilac and tuberose), but again, judging from the reviews that's not true for everyone. Cave of Treasures I haven't tested on skin yet, since I've had a cold since practically the day after I got it and can't smell a thing, but it smelled really lilacy to me on first sniff! I also get a lot of lilac from Fairy Tales and Lies, so maybe it comes out on me. Penis Admiration (Lilac, ho wood, smoky vanilla, galbanum, and tonka) isn't my strongest lilac-dominant scent, but it is really lovely all the same, so I thought I'd mention it here. I've always wondered how similar it might be to Ashlultum, but I haven't tried the latter. They don't have similar notes, necessarily, but Penis Admiration comes out to a smoky, woody vanilla lilac on me, which does seem similar to descriptions of Ashlultum. Ville-Marie from Pretty Indulgent doesn't come out super strongly lilac to me, ironically enough, considering the notes (Madonna lily, crabapple blossom, Begonia Juliana, dendrobium and phalaenopsis orchids, and five varieties of lilac), but it does have a lot of the soft, velvety sweetness I associate with BPAL's lilac note (I got that "feeling" of lilac from Ghost Revelry and The Unicorn Rushing etc., too, quite a bit). I get more lilac from the above perfumes, though. Share this post Link to post
Mountaingrrl00 Report post Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Insupportable Misery, from the 2011 Yules, has a wonderful lilac note along with tea, saffron, violet leaf and lavender. Edited March 27, 2017 by Mountaingrrl Share this post Link to post
missnix Report post Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) The Lilac Wood was my lonely favorite BPAL lilac for the longest time. (Despite loving it, apparently I'm picky when it comes to lilac?) But now Cave of Treasures takes that honor, and in general is in my top 5 now ETA: Can't believe I forgot Ashlultum - she is also one of my very few lilac loves, although her other notes are at least as prominent as the lilac, which may be why she doesn't pop into my head immediately when I think "lilac"...
