Lilac, blue musk, dianthus, cedar, neroli, ozone, and luminous Eastern herbs.

 

I have the 2013 version, for what it's worth.

 

It's a nice lilac perfume with a bit of cedar and herbs. There's a very subtle spice to it, which I'm enjoying. I don't find the cedar to be like pencils, but more like an old chest. Lilac can sometimes get so airy that the herbs and cedar give it a little platform to dance around on. It also keeps the whole thing a bit warmer, which is a nice take on lilac as I usually find it a cooler note.

2018 version. I get a touch of cedar with an airy powdery floral on top. Was hoping for some lilac realness, but got gentle powder instead. Oh well.

2018 version.

 

This starts off strongly aquatic and sweet between the blue musk and the ozone. That does dial back given some time, allowing a sweet powdery lilac, clean neroli, and a bit of a spicy-floral dianthus to come forward. I honestly get like no cedar. The Eastern herbs are kind of vague but there's definitely a bit of a herbal blend going on here. The longer this dries on skin the more those herbal notes develop. After a good hour I found myself sitting here wondering what smells so nice? Turns out it was me. I think one of the herbs in the blend is a creamy-spicy coriander, which I adore. Low throw but medium wear length.
