Your favorite lilac scents/perfumes?

This wonderful picture of lilacs was just shared on another thread and it almost made me think I could smell the fragrance.  I had to go spritz myself with the only lilac scent I own, French Lilac by Pacifica.  It's OK, maybe not great.

 

Does anyone have a perfectly wonderful lilac scent or perfume you love?

I love the scent of lilacs, but would not wear it as a perfume.

@GingerPeach'WEN Spring Honey Lilac is awesome.  True lilac scent.  Chaz gets migraines from fragrance so he formulated his with the best ingredients.  I sit on my patio next to lilac bushes......the WEN fragrance is exactly what I smell !

Hi @Q4u You got me curious as to whether this one actually included lilac as part of the ingredients.  I was sad to see it did not.  I was ready to go shopping!  Did I choose the wrong one?

 

From the Yardley website for English Lavender perfume:

A beautifully fresh, clean elegant fragrance combining bergamot and clary sage with a heart of English Lavender, eucalyptus, geranium, jasmine, chamomile and violet, enhanced with deeper, warm notes of wood, vanilla and patchouli.

Re: Your favorite lilac scents/perfumes?

I wish I could find a lovely lilac scent.  Today's fragrances don't really come in one note scents, so I'm not surprised that I can't find one.  I do find lots of lilac scented home fragrance oils. From time to time I have mixed a drop of the fragrance oil with an unscented body cream to create an aura of lilac scent for my body.

Bummed to hear the Pacifica one isn't that great.  I guess I'm not shocked by that though.  Their fragrances are hit-or-miss.

 

I bought a Pacifica vanilla body spray and it smelled like soap...vanilla soap.  Smiley Sad

 

The blood orange is nice though.
