Lilac Love
Lilac Love opens with a cascade of white and pastel florals that feel surprisingly light despite their richness—gardenia and jasmine lead, softened by heliotrope's powdery sweetness and the dewy transparency of peony.

By the editors · 2 min readLilac Love opens with a cascade of white and pastel florals that feel surprisingly light despite their richness—gardenia and jasmine lead, softened by heliotrope's powdery sweetness and the dewy transparency of peony. The rose stays quiet, blending rather than dominating. This is florals through gauze, not florals in your face.
As it settles, tonka bean and orris root add a creamy, almost skin-like quality that anchors the petals without weighing them down. The base brings sandalwood and vanilla into gentle conversation with earthy patchouli, grounding what could have been purely ethereal into something warmer and more substantial.
The overall effect is softer than you might expect from Amouage—a floral composition that feels more intimate than operatic. It suits someone who wants presence without projection, femininity without frills. Despite the name, lilac itself stays in the background, more an idea than a literal note.
