To me it smelled like baby cologne .

No lilac is listed in the "ingredients". I definitely smell powdery florals and the cocoa right away, then the heliotrope after a while. I kinda like it :)

This is a feminine floral that dries down to a lovely vanilla chocolate scent. Not sweet. It’s a confident woman’s scent.

It smells like a old woman from the 90’s for & very very strong it smelled cheap.

On first sniff I get the impression of lipstick and a vintage makeup case that has cocoa powder instead of makeup powder inside. I’m getting clean jasmine, heliotrope, and iris off the bat as well. About 2 hours in, and I am detecting vanilla, which makes me want to bury my face in my wrist, and just before I can say that this now smells exactly like a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows, something dry and herbal and bitter (patchouli?) stops this from being dessert. This is oh so pretty from start to finish - if you like powdery gourmands. I can’t make out even the teensiest bit of lilac, although if I really try, maybe a bit of a nice rounded rose mixed in with everything else.

This was a horrible scent, it smelled nothing like it was described. It smells frankly like something like my great grandmother would have doused herself in, I’m hoping I can exchange it or something. So if you love the classic smell of your great grandmother by all means jump on this, but if you are looking for a fresh lilac smell this is NOT it please don’t waste one of your monthly choices on this, I am so disappointed.

Did not smell the lilac, well maybe a teeny tiny bit bit it was overpowered by powder. Super strong scent that lasted long, but not for me.

It is an absolutely beautiful fragrance and also very relaxing. Has a high sillage and amazing longevity on my skin.

This is a lilac/heliotrope floral with vanilla & cacao that is sweet to the point of smelling fetid. I was afraid I smelled like overripe, decaying flowers and plant matter. Definitely not a winter fragrance ~ I'll try wearing this next spring & I'll see if the warmth & moisture in the atmosphere improve the scent. As is I think it's pleasant enough when sprayed lightly from a distance.

Doesn't smell like Lilac, I'm not sure why they named it Lilac Love?

I just got the Lilac love woman and it is one of the most pure sense of lilac that I have ever smelled except for the oil, which is very similar. I absolutely love it will definitely order it again. can't wait to go out and get some comments.

This was way too much for me and not what I expected at all.

This scent is amazing absolutely love it so much !!!

way too strong and musky. had to use it as room spray so it would not go to waste. after a few hours it had a tolerable powder scent

I have just finished giving away my Scentbird bottle of Amouage Lilac Love because it is just putrid. Thankfully the person I had gifted it to loves the scent (it is indeed French Eau De Toilette), but I think it's horrible. The smell of lilac is overpowered by the scent of cotton...musk...baby powder! Yuck! Thank goodness I signed up for a discount perfume retailer because I wouldn't pay so much money for such a diaper rash bottle of what's supposed to be high-quality French scent. I can't wait for the next month so that I can get a different brand and scent. Sorry, but not for me. Two stars for a too-early start. The guy sitting on the train next to me this morning hated it too and accidentally gestured me to leave the train at because I reeked.

It is overwhelming with gourmet notes, which I am not a fan of. Not what I expected.

Nice, cozy and complex composition.

It smells too musky for me to be able to wear it. Its just too overwhelming for me

First impression was not good... all chocolate and no lilac... I'm no fan of gourmandish scents and had mixed emotions the first time I wore it. Let me tell you straight out, this is no gourmand, sweet chocolate. The lilac is there alright, but totally overpowered by the cocoa scent, and although it doesn't sound much like something I would go for, it really works and I'm seriously considering a full-bottle. It's powdery, sweet and floral... and oh so addictive! I just adore it, and the way it makes me feel.

The first initial blast was this glorious, magical scent of chocolate dusted with jasmine scented powdered sugar. It was love....and then it changed, morphed into this bombastically heady, powdery white flower, patchouli, church mother mess. The only person I invision wearing this fragrance is a pastor's wife. She drives a Lincoln Continental and wears big bejeweled church hats. It's a no for me.

this scent just wasn't for me. to me its a very mature scent.

Did not enjoy

For some reason, I was completely caught off guard on this one! My initial reaction was negative, I didn’t like the strong powder smell, and I AM an old lady that normally does. I couldn’t pull the ingredients out of what I smelled. After awhile though, it begins to smell better. Another positive, I could still smell it the next day! Oh how I wish I loved this one! Fragrance doesn’t usually last long on me. Oh well, there’s always next month!

I was very excited for this scent, not sure why, maybe all the positive reviews and the fact that it is an Amouage which I love. Unfortunately this one doesn't sit well with my nose. I get a chocolaty whiff but then it's Play doh! Am I crazy? Does anyone else get flashbacks to grade school and Play doh?

I am a true lover of this perfume. Each and every time I wear it, I receive a myriad of compliments and was so glad that they offered this on Scentbird. It is a rich and unusual scent, combining a warm, almost chocolately scent with the lilac. You wouldn't imagine that combination smelling good, but it is unbelievable and gives a very expensive impression (which it is). I like it so much that I added it to my subscription twice and purchased it through Scentbird for a friend who compliments me every time I wear it. Honestly, just try it!!!!

Awesome

It comes on VERY strong at first, but sticks with me the whole day and dries down very nicely.

I hate this so much. I want my money back.

Its a sweet floral with a powdery finish. I got a warm vanilla that is sweet, yet not annoyingly so--I didn't feel like I was wearing a fragrance meant for a teenager; gourmand without smelling like a sugar cookie. It was surprised to like this as much as I did because I usually stay away from sweet notes. It lasts for a VERY long time and may be strong when first applied. This scent has staying power! It lasts all day and I could even smell hints of it on me after the gym. This is not a favorite, but I didn't hate it. I would buy another sample from Scentbird to have on hand to wear when I was in the mood.

Favorite so far

It starts with strong alcohol note, bet quickly changes to stay white flowers. For an hour, I guess. In base it have sweet bakery smell. It is very lasting scent. For 9 to 12 hours. I like it. I think it's going to be a good choice for someone who likes sweet, lasting, and bright scent.

I dislike this scent. It smells very much like a cross between baby powder and body wash.

Very soft. Stays all day. Tons of compliments

Too musky for me .

I was doubtful about this fragrance as I don't enjoy the scent of the lilac perfumes. But this is a lovely floral chocolate without being gimmicky. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it's so light.

This is for the confident and refined woman. It exudes class and elegance. Very unique and pleasant

This smelled too much like a baby wipe. The powder is so intense. The perfume is VERY strong. I wasn't able to wear it long enough to see what the dry-down was like.

I did not know what to expect from Amouage, i knew they were famous for classy, expensive scents but thats all i knew. When i tried Lilac Love, i enjoyed letting the fragrance unfold around me. It was very complex and extrenely gourmand . its been awhile since i experienced such a strong and complex fragrance. I quite liked it.

Heavy and strong scent. I wasn't sure if I liked it, but can see myself wearing it once in a while.

Disgusting. I regret picking this as one of my scents. It smells like something that has been on a shelf since 1930. I have to wash it off and even then it’s still lingering, guess it has that going for it. It is just awful manly musky type smell but very strong.

Very powdery and sweet, not much lilac to speak of.... Reminds me of the old women in Macy's on Long Island. Maybe a better room/car spray.

Was a little too sweet

very strong and sweet scent

This is the first perfume from scentbird that I didn’t like. It smells nothing at all like lilacs. Not even a hint of lilac. Its very strong and powdery. I though lilac would be nice for spring and summer. Nope.

This is a heavy, strong and very mature fragrance. I will pass this on to my Gram.

There was something in this scent that didn’t appeal to me at all. It was a strong smell. Others said it was a light powder smell. I didn’t get that at all.

Very clean, fresh, and sweet. I love this fragrance! I

Well mixed chocolate and florals.

I was hoping that this would be a gourmand floral but all I could smell was thick, acrid patchouli and heavy, suffocating white florals. Just a bare hint of spoiled chocolate milk in the background. If you like patchouli and heavy florals, or perfumes like Angel and Nuits de Noho, you'll love this.

Too mature, too floral. Not a fan at all- this one will probably go right into the trash

Scent was just too mature for me

I loved the scent. It was light and not heavy, very appealing . I would get it again and recommend to my friends.

Not a fragrance for everyone, a strong oriental/floral fragrance but very well balanced. Complex, sensual and long lasting.

Light crisp scent. My boyfriend likes it too.

I had an expectation of a floral, spring sent with the name and this was a disappointment. Not sure what it smells like but it's not pleasant to me and it's certainly not lilac.

Very pretty scent, opens with a burst of strong rose and jasmin, continues the jasmin with a creamy sort of edge to it. If there is heliotrope in there, it just won the game of hide and seek! Dry down is swift. Spillage is moderate. This is very similar to Bvlgari Jasmin Noir but bigger and better. The cacao adds warm fuzziness! Warm and delicate at the same time, this would be a good early spring fragrance but I think it too heavy for summer wear, except for an evening gala.

I had to re-review my review. I DO!!! I feel like the runaway bride, but the kind that comes back to her groom with apologies. Luckily, LLW took me back! My husband strongly disliked it until I sprayed it on and waited 5 minutes. It completely changes on my skin, and it smells just the right kind of sweet to floral: honey marries lilacs. Not an every day scent, but feminine and sexy for once in a while, "I'm feeling it" kinda scent.

Smelled like something a grandma would wear, didn’t like it. Very strong

I love it so much .

Sprayed this scent in the air and still smelled it hours later...I didn’t smell any lilac in it.

Very strong scent. smells nothing like Lilacs so beware!

This was a little too strong and sweet smelling for me. It reminded me of my grandma. Usually I like sweet, but this wasn’t the right type

Loved it!

Absolutely love this one and so will you. CALM COOL and sweet scent. 5*****+

I gave this 1 star only because I had to, otherwise it would have received a negative from me. I did NOT like this scent at all!!! The name is very misleading. Definitely no smell of lilac to this at all, more like black pepper. VERY disappointed!!!

Opening is bit sharp on my skin, I did not like it. When it settles down I get powdery floral notes and some hints of spicy undertone too. Not a typical amouage power house, it has poor projection, close to skin.

It reminds me of an overwhelming baby powder elderly woman. I am not happy with this scent.

I LOVE IT..

I didn't care for this scent . I thought it was going to smell more fresh with lilac scent.

I don't hate it but I don't love it either. Too strong at first but after awhile it has a nice smell.

Nope. Too strong. Old lady scent.

To me, this smells like the epitome of a delicate french perfume. The florals and powder are heady and intoxicating at first and last for a good hour. It then dries down to a nice vanilla/chocolate that lasts and lasts. It's a skin scent after a couple minutes so no worries about being offensive at the office. I loved this and if t wasn't 400.00 a bottle, it would be mine.

I did not like this scent. It did

This perfume is very delicate and complete departure from traditional amouage smells. One negative is it doesn't stay long.

At first, I thought, oh yuck... It smells musty. Thought I would give it a try any way. It has to "mellow" before you can smell all the layers, which are truly unique. I find this more for the older generation, and more for the fall/winter season, and I am actually enjoying the scent. Scent stays from sunrise to sunset.

Airy, and elegant. It's got a strong sent, but not overpowering, and smells very pampering.

Very strong and overwhelming when first sprayed. You have to wait for it to develop. It smells like lilacs and powder. It is a comforting scent. I can't wait to wear this in the Fall. It did not seem to jive with Summer for me. This perfume was hard to wash off to give an idea of how strong it is.

Love the scent! My husband loved it on me. The only problem is that it does not stay long. Air out too fast!

horrible scent....old, musty, reminds me of old clothing laying in an old house. Wish I could return this.

I was excited to try this one, however it really truly smells like an old woman. I absolutely love lilac, but this perfume does not have a true lilac scent. Its very soapy, powdery, and mature. I will never wear it.

All I can say is OLD LADY! I love the smell of lilacs and I got more old lady musk then lilac. Not a fan at all.

This by far was my favorite scent to date. The musk and lilac blended beautifully. This is a very elegant perfume. I envision debutants wearing this at balls in big puffy gowns. Definitely a vintage scent.

I really loved it!!! It's a bit powerful at first... I think I would wear it more in the wintertime

The amazing scent of powdery lilacs. Subtle but lasting.

Love the flora scent beautiful and be my husband notices with a compliment makes me happy. THANK YOU! 5❤

It starts very strong, but dries down to a beautiful floral ,powder scent. This is more suited for a mature woman.

It's a little too powdery for my tastes.

Very powdery scent at first, then melts to a buttery vanilla aroma with the powder. I like the powder smell i think its feminine, so i don't mind at all. & I really love gourmand scents so I enjoyed this. Its long lasting as well. I don't smell the lilacs but i used only one time so far. If you feel like powdery perfume is old lady thing, skip this. Otherwise go for it. The powdery & sweet mix is worth it.

I LOVE Lilac, but this wasn't what I expected. Smells a lot like perfumed powder my grandma used to wear. I am sure she will love it, but it's too much for me.

Intense and long lasting. I do get a hint of lilacs but overall it's just a very floral fragrance. Dries down to a warm almost buttery scent. It took me a while but I like it a lot!

Love!!! That is all. I will likely purchase this

This is the worst smell ever. I sprayed it on after a shower. It was so bad I had to take another shower to get it off.

I like most scents; but, this scent is very strong, actually it is a harsh scent. A little goes a long way. I hate to waste; so, I will save this scent for late fall and winter. The summers where I live are hot and humid, which is a not a match for such a strong scent.

Wasn't fond of this lilac. It was very harsh and strong. Not a modern take at all....very old fashioned.

I was disappointed that this does not smell at all of lilacs. It was a very heavy fragrance and not a light spring fragrance I was expecting.

Completely in love! There is a warm floral, soft powder and cocoa that blend and smell very much like lilacs. The scent stays very linear and just fades in intensity. It lasts for 8-10 hours, but if you get a good sniff you can smell it on clothes the next day. I can't get enough of this scent. It has a calming quality. It works for warmer months, and it has an elegant yet sexy vibe. I'll be getting a few of these from scentbird, the price tag is hefty. Gorgeous!

This was one of my favorites and I have had many.. Not to overpowering, just a gentle hint of Floral and Lilac..I like that!!

I love lilac but this just didn't do it for me sadly. It reminded me of the after bath powder puff things my grandmother had. I was disappointed but I am still a happy subscriber. ❤

Not for me. I was disappointed thinking this would be a nice spring scent. It was more musk than floral....so sad, it just didn't add up to my expectations.

just recieved today.I like but might be a little too powdery for me,a little older as well.i will wear sometimes.

A lovely, sweet, lightly powdery fragrance. Flowers sprinkled in cacao powder. Absolutely gorgeous unless oversprayed!

I don't like it, it reminds me of something that my grandmother wore

Not for me but my mom loved it

I did not like this perfume at all. I was supposed to receive Happy Heart. However this is what was sent to me instead.

I LOVE this scent. I love powdery scents that stay with you all day. This one gets the job done!

I have gotten so many compliments on my perfume. I love it

It was pleasant but my husband said it smelled like his grandmother.... so not one I would buy.

Horrible! One of the worst perfumes I've ever smelled. Sorry but stay away from this one.

The combination of notes in this smells like amber on me initially. It settles down to a very pleasant, powdery sweet smell with low projection but decent longevity. Safe and inoffensive. I like it but took a heart off for wow factor vs price.

Something about this just didn't really appeal to me. I don't think it smells bad but it's not for me. Happy I got a chance to sample. Very powdery and floral on my skin. Seemed a bit old fashioned. I didn't get a stong lilac note the strongest note by far is the powder. I would give it 2 hearts (stars.) I like that there are some truely highend brands available here makes me feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of the subscription.

I liked it a lot. It is a little heavy but once that wears down smells great.
