Reportedly an olfactory reminder of Sylvaine's holidays on Réunion Island, Lilylang is just another generic white floral musk scent with a piercing metallic aura.
The citruses barely register, there's no discernible spiciness and the white florals are too one-dimensional to be noteworthy. As the composition further develops, the metallic sheen gradually fades but it's not enough to save what is already a fledgling composition.
Smelling closer to the colour pink, as opposed to yellow, sillage is minimal and its staying power (of under two hours) is abysmal for an Eau de Parfum. If tenacity was better, it might have been awarded an extra star.
