Lilia Stargazer (Akord)

I've tried a lot of lily scents that go sharp or soapy on me, but this accord stays soft and waxy the whole way through. It really does capture that heavy, almost narcotic sweetness of the actual flower. Wore it to a dinner and got asked twice what I had on.

The stargazer lily accord smells so true to the real flower I keep expecting to see petals. It opens creamy and a little waxy before the green stem note kicks in, which is exactly how the actual blooms smell in my kitchen. Wore it all day and it never turned sharp on me.

I’ve worn a lot of floral perfumes that turn powdery or soapy, but this one stays lush and almost creamy on my skin for hours. The sillage is noticeable without shouting, and it’s become my go-to for evenings when I want something romantic.
