Fresh like freshly watered flowers, perfect for hot weather. High-quality ingredients with good longevity, though the projection is very soft; after 30 minutes, it’s just skin scent. Still, I absolutely loved it and will buy the bottle—it’s a work of art.

Fresh like freshly watered flowers, ideal for heat. Quality ingredients and good longevity, though the projection is very soft; after 30 minutes, it’s already skin scent. Still, I loved it and will buy the bottle; it’s a work of art.

Especially evocative: smells like a summer breeze, flowers, the sea, the beach, and sunshine. Beautiful. By the end of the day, it blends into a sweet thread like nectar. It’s a journey to a warm, calm summer, almost utopian in its roundness. It’s not perfect because it costs a fortune, but Frederic Malle’s freedom creates works of art, and this is one. Pure evocation.

Lys Mediterranee evokes a late summer afternoon heat, a sea breeze mixed with soft, spiced lilies. Lilies have been cherished since ancient Egypt. Elegant and majestic, it conveys purity and innocence. Flechier pays a realistic and fresh tribute, almost enveloping, with a touch of sweet vanilla and a soft musk cloud for longevity. If Portrait of a Lady is baroque, this is minimal impressionism. Both spectacular. Rating: 9.

Incredible Lily: fresh yet deep at the same time. I don’t smell water, but a very strong, refreshing white flower. I absolutely love this interpretation.

I was surprised not to see mint in the pyramid, as it was my first impression. At first, it smells very fresh and sweet, almost like toothpaste. I guess that freshness is the sea water. The ginger is different from the one in Bvlgari Man; here, everything is sweet. I feel that vanilla and musk dominate. It’s not bad, but I expected something different. Good thing there are samples.
