Lilas Exquis Eau de Parfum 100 ml

Lilas Exquis Eau de Parfum 100 ml

A Floral Musky fragrance.
An unexpected fragrance.

Lilas Exquis is a reference to one of the designer’s favorite color and flower. Even if it gives the impression of a delicate harmony, the sensations go crescendo. Lilas Exquis is an unexpected fragrance, playful but above all very surprising, rebel on the head with a green side on the opening which destabilizes the expectation of a floral fragrance. The heart, deep and audacious, reveals a modern Lilac with floral aquatic note of Magnolia and sweet honeyed Linden Blossom. A surprising accord of “Violet Cream” also adds a delicate touch to the sensual freshness of Linden blossom.

Perfumer: Luca Maffei

The son of fragrance executive Marco Maffei, Italian-born Luca Maffei grew up around fragrance. His father worked at both Symrise and International Flavors and Fragrances, bringing home lab samples and meeting with parfumeurs like Dominique Ropion and Michel Almairac. Maffei originally pursued a job in the business side of the fragrance industry before setting his sights on the decidedly more creative life of a parfumeur. To that end, he travelled to Grasse to study under Madame Françoise Marin, the former director of the Roure perfumery school. After an apprenticeship with Vincent Ricord, Maffei began working closely with master parfumeur Maurizio Cerizza who encouraged him to compete in The Scent of Excellence Contest at Esxense. The composition he submitted, Iris Magnifica, was a top-five finalist. Since then Maffei has worked for a number of prestigious firms including Masque Milano, Jacques Fath and Perris Monte Carlo.
