Serge Lutens Un Lys is an exquisite white floral perfume centered on lily. Slightly green, rich with lilies, and deepened with vanilla. Excellent longevity. This exudes brightness and hope, and it is just pretty through and through. And having a pretty perfume that makes you feel beautiful is a very good thing. Notes of lily, musk and vanilla
Review of Serge Lutens Un Lys from noses that may or may not sniff like your nose does.
from that-smell - "Well, considering there’s really only three notes in Un Lys, and considering the fragrance’s name you expect there to be lily and that’s what you get upfront. It starts off sharp and green and leafy with the lily gaining way over the sharp greenness until it takes over the stage. This is a white, soft and dry lily fragrance that lilies it up from the get-go and keeps going for a few hours time before meeting a vanilla note and clean musk at the end where the lilies keep living until its time to fade completely. Utterly beautiful and fabulously done lily fragrance."
from perfumeposse - "The grown up sister of A La Nuit. This is more indolic, bigger, it expands and finds new places to lay down its lily tendrils over a smidge of vanilla. I love this so hard, it is stunningly beautiful and a joy to wear."
Fragrantica - "It smells like white lilies on its peak bloom with traces of lilac. They're so convincingly realistic, smelling heady, sweet, and green. The florals are counterbalanced with a velvety soft vanilla. Slightly milky, appropriately sweetened."
Fragrantica - "Exquisite buttery lily. It's simply a masterpiece! Enveloping, happy, ethereal, sensual... I could go on and on with adjectives. "
Fragrantica - "A beautiful simple tribute to the lily flower. This is the most realistic interpretation of this flower in a perfume. A linear lovely lily show from start to finish. As it dries off one can detect traces of vanilla and musk. The feminine leaning scent has moderate projection and sillage and very good longevity. Like drowning in an ocean of lilies. Enjoy!"
Fragrantica - "quite possibly the ultimate Casablanca lily scent every created. Incredibly realistic, narcotic, a perfect wedding scent. I love while lilies, despite some views that claim they're for cemeteries I do not see them as such. I have plenty of lily scents in my wardrobe but this the the cream of the crop, there is nothing quite as beautiful and realistic as this one. A true olfactive delight. Highly recommended !"
