Niche line Vilhelm Parfumerie has introduced two new fragrances, A Lilac A Day and Colette x Vilhelm.
A Lilac A Day ~ "A masterpiece in fragrance, the Vilhelm A Lilac a Day eau de parfum has captured the freshly picked, intoxicating green scent of the classic Lilac flower. Created using the same scent molecules that are found within the headspace of a live lilac, each ingredient used within the fragrance reproduces the different facets of the flower, so you can experience the joy of a fresh lilac beyond the confines of a crisp spring day. In the language of flowers, lilacs symbolise the first, tentative, yet exhilarating, moments of love. The lilac is a flower that speaks to its beholder, both with its delicate, textured appearance, and the familiar-yet-intoxicating scent at its heart. Believed by the ancient Celts to be a ‘magical’ fragrance, lilacs are considered to be a harbinger of spring, a season of rebirth and abundance." £145 for 100 ml at Liberty in the UK.
Colette x Vilhelm ~ "The New Yorker perfumery offers an original fig-based fragrance, inspired by colette’s signature olfactory scent, available from April 25th." €154 (before tax) at Colette in France.

Hope the lilac one comes to Barney’s soon. I’m always up for sniffing a lilac bush or a new lilac scent
Me too!
I had my heart set on Amouage’s Lilac Love but now here’s also this alluring bottle from Vilhelm?
same here. can’t wait to sniff both. altho JP Vacances seems to always remain the best…I will still sniff
Lilac is so hard to do right!
Lilacs are blooming here now.
Ah, not yet where I am.
The lilacs in my neck of the woods aren’t blooming yet, so I have to make due with En Passant. I hope this lands in the States so I can sniff it because there are too few lilac perfumes.
Gah, want to smell the lilac one.
Me too, I’m allergic to lilac but it doesn’t stop me.
Lilacs! Woo hoo! I am liking Purple Reign, but something even more lilacy would be nice. This one sounds good – lilac headspace conjures up interesting images… 🙂
Does “Headspace” mean “we futzed around with scent molecules of a natural substance and came up with a mutant ingredient but don’t want to call it that?”
Ha!
I love the bottle though. Don’t you think one if these bottles would look great in your collection? ????
I agree the bottles look nice…need to see it in person though as a large “sample” just for the bottle is just too decadent 🙂 oh wait…ummm, ok, never mind
