Sylvaine Delacourte was the former Director of Olfactory Evaluation at Guerlain. She was the only female director in 180 years. After several years as Fragrance Director at Maison Guerlain, she decided she wanted to create her own fragrances. Her first collection was Musk, then Vanilla and most recently Fleur d'Oranger.
Sometimes fruity, clean or even woody, the perfumes all have a certain softness in common. Sylvaine calls them olfactive pashminas because they bring both comfort and lightness. Musks have great tenacity but it is difficult to give them proper diffusion. The challenge was to give them a strong presence, a different personality each time, and of course a lingering trail. Musk was originally an animal material found in the Tibetan deer. Since musk from animals is no longer used, perfumery utilizes an infinite variety of white musks, synthetically reproduced and indispensable in fragrance compositions for their sensual fixative power.
Lilylang is a sunny musk fragrance that blends exotic ylang-ylang and jasmine in a radiant and sensual perfume. A gentle caress is given by cuddly and silky musks, and brightened by the zest of lime. It features top notes of pink pepper, bergamot and lime; middle notes of ylang-ylang, tuberose and jasmine; and a base note of musk. Lilylang is an eau de parfum, edp.
