Lily Essence
by O Boticário
Lily Essence presents a creamy, soft floral bouquet that opens with a bright, fruity top note of apricot, peach, and mandarin, kissed with a subtle hint of pink pepper. The heart unfolds into a velvety blend of white flowers—lily, jasmine, gardenia, and iris—so delicate and powdery that it feels like a luminous veil of floral elegance. The base settles into a warm, ambery musk with vanilla and a whisper of sandalwood, giving it a quiet sensuality that lingers on skin and clothes. The scent is universally feminine, intimate, and refined, with moderate sillage and a fragrance that feels like a well-kept secret. Some appreciate the lasting presence and soft persistence of the scent, while others note it fades noticeably after 20–30 minutes. It’s not a bold or dramatic fragrance, but rather the scent of grace and quiet confidence—ideal for day or evening wear, especially in autumn and winter.
Pros

- +Well-balanced blend of fruit and flower notes creates a subtle, non-aggressive scent ideal for sensitive or minimalist tastes
- +Long-lasting sillage and presence on clothing, despite a shorter wear time on skin
Cons
- −Fragrance tends to fade quickly on skin, with most of it disappearing within 30 minutes
- −Not a standout scent on skin due to weak fixation, making it less memorable or impactful
- −The drydown lacks depth and strength, leaving the impression of a soft, unremarkable floral that lingers only vaguely
