My favorite Le Labo so far, and a misnamed scent because there’s literally no lily in it. It smells very much like Guerlain’s Terracotta, but the floral notes are more intense thanks to the narcissus and jasmine, which stand out equally. The base is sweet vanilla, though it lacks that coconut found in the other. As it dries down, the jasmine recedes slightly and that typical Le Labo animalic musk rises, just like in Another 13. Surprisingly, it fits perfectly here, balancing the flowers and vanilla so it’s creamy rather than cloying. Projects strongly for the first two hours before settling to skin scent. In humid summer heat over 30°C, it lasted more than 6 hours, making it a champion for performance. I see it as ultra-feminine (it smells like a Sophia Loren diva on me) and it’s a true all-rounder for any season or use. If I didn’t own Terracotta, I’d be ready to splurge on that 6€/ml price tag. Pleasant: 9/10 Interesting: 8/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 5/10

I tried it today and hooked immediately, so I brought it home. It absolutely doesn’t fail; the problem is that I already own Santal by Le Labo, and my expectations for a new fragrance are brutal. This Lys doesn’t surpass them. I repeat, it smells amazing, but I simply haven’t been able to connect with it. Sillage 7-8/10, longevity 8/10, scent profile 9/10, but Santal remains my 10/10.
