OMG!! ....just like heaven I just received mine, and it smells wonderful! Just like fresh lilacs, on a spring breeze...mmmm. I just ordered 2 more. I rank it right up there with SHP, SMC, and FTP. My mom smelled mine, and she doesn't even use WEN, regularly, but she went and ordered 3 of her own, as a conditioner, after she tried to take mine, LOL Not gonna happen!

hahaha!

It sounds great. Very tempting. I love the lavender scent so if this is just a little similar in scent, I may be tempted to order at least one. I wish they had it locally, so I could go smell it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I'm looking at those ingredients it appears the new honey lilac has a true modified honey and the SHP has 4 honey EXTRACTS.

I live in Wisconsin and although mine was supposed to be delivered today (03/10/2015) it has been rescheduled to be delivered on 03/11/2015. I grew up around several lilac bushes and now that we have built our own home we have been going to nurseries across the state and back researching different species of lilac bushes that would grow to the height we are looking for along with fragrant blooms along with a color that is complimentary to our other trees, bushes, and other flowers and plants we have in our landscape. I will be honest there are VERY few flowers I enjoy the smell of so much so I myself would want to walk around smelling like, but a lilac is in that group of the very few. I think because th fragrance makes me feel vibrant and young (at heart at least, LOL) unlike some floral scents. Either way I will give my take on it when it arrives and all the reviews left here have me very excited to try it and have been very helpful!

I just used it in the shower. It is very light, lighter than FTP and SOB. It is definitely floral. I will give you "clean" floral because there are no harsh notes in it at all, it is just a very light floral that smells exactly like lilacs.

It is quite lovely. I was a little put off when it first arrived, but letting it breath a bit and using it in the shower makes a big difference in how it smells.

Can you gauge the amount of moisture it provides say, compared to SHP? I know you've only used it one time but just initial impressions?

I only used it for the first cleanse and I was washing out an oil treatment.

When I was washing, I didn't feel like I needed anything else with it (like with POM, I feel it's drying and I need to add FIG or something to it) and when I washed it out, my hair didn't feel dry. I didn't feel like I needed to use FIG as a second cleanse (I used TT and CA). I did a heavy leave in of 613 and FTP.

Ok my take on the performance...It is the same to me as SHP/FTP/WWC....I used it for both cleanses, and only put in a small amount of my 613 sc...My curls are not just bouncy but almost looked like when I was able to use soft water on my hair....I love it!...and as far as the scent, it gets better to me when your hair is wet.....a softer scent, my bathroom smelled like a spa...Will get all I can of the one!....

Got my lilac yesterday. When I opened the package, I put a little on my hands. Smelled so good. In the shower last night the smell was too much. It reminded me of poo-pourri. Like it, but strong scented.

That what it looks like. From what I can gather through poking around the Internet, the Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey (also called Honeyquat 50) in the new Honey Lilac CC is modified to make it non-sticky. That makes me think it's still honey and more than just an extract, but I'm no scientist.

They use a processed form of honey (one made lighter and deodorized) and react with an other substance (specifically a chlorohydroxytreimethylammonium derivative for those who like to know those things) which makes it not pure honey but more like an extract of honey hybridized with another component . It isn't just like the 4 honey extract which sounds like a pure form of honey, not a processed, lighter version. Hence the reason most probably don't find it as moisturizing as SHP and why those that found SHP too heavy like the lighter ones containing the honey extract (i.e. Honeyquat 50).

LOVE LOVE LOVE....the smell is just like a fresh spring breeze, can smell the lilac but not too much...will use it in morning for performance, but it feels amazing when I put it on my hand...I want more without using it yet!!..

I am a little different in that respect- the formula is more important than the scent and even if I love the scent (I really like BGT scent but too drying for my hair so I don't use it), I won't use it if it doesn't work well for my hair.

ITA. Even if I love the scent if I don't see the results I like from the formula I will not continue to buy it. The BGT is a tad drying for my hair too. So far I love the WWC. My SHL & SOB are out for delivery today. Can't wait to try them Guess I will try the SHL this afternoon. My UPS driver is usually here around 2:30. I did not think I would receive these until the end of the week since I just ordered late on the 5th.
