Lilas Exquis

Lilas Exquis by Jacques Fath is a refined, floral-woody fragrance centered on hyacinth and lilac, with a green, dewy accord that connects to fresh stems and foliage. The opening features a sparkling blend of bergamot and blueberry, giving a juicy, almost gourmand freshness that softens into a vivid, linear floral heart. The lilac and hyacinth are beautifully present—warm, natural, and slightly stemmy—without leaning overly sweet or powdery. The drydown reveals a subtle musky, ambroxan-lined base that adds depth and longevity, creating a soft, earthy, and sensual trail that lingers well beyond the 6-hour mark. It wears most prominently as a daytime floral, fitting effortlessly into spring and early summer. Though not unisex in practice, it shows a dandy quality that can appeal to keenly interested men. The fragrance feels sophisticated, elegant, and intentionally restrained—more museum or boutique than department store. It’s built around authenticity, with a performance that’s moderate to long, and a quietly pervasive sillage that charm. It’s not a loud or dramatic scent; it’s a personal, intimate, and heartfelt floral experience.
