Most of the lilac perfumes are for summer and spring days as they are light and airy. The other compositions used in the fragrances enhance the holding ability of the lilac note and allow it to become the star it is.
Here are the best Lilac perfumes:
Lanvin Eclat d’Arpege Perles
Middle notes are Tea, Peony, and Peach Blossom;
Base notes are Musk, Amber, and Virginia Cedar.
Eclat d’Arpege Perles is the first perfume I have tried from the house of Lanvin. I got attracted to this lilac scent because of how cute the bottle looked on my friend’s vanity. The light purple juice color itself will remind you of lilac.
It starts its journey with some sweetness from mouth-watering peach and citrus. Initially, I thought this perfume keeps lilac in the background. And, oh, how wrong I was!
Lilac starts to show up after the fragrance settles for a few minutes. The sweet tone is there as well from the peach but the lilac does not allow it to come forward.
After a while lilac is accompanied by the peony note and together, they create their own floral kingdom. I feel like I am walking through a garden whenever I wear it.
Overall, every note works in harmony to support the lilac to shine its way to your nose.
Eclat d’Arpege Perles is such a light and beautiful scent that you can blind buy it without any doubt. And no one can hate this amazing lilac perfume.

Pacifica French Lilac
If you want to smell pretty in a lilac perfume but also want to save some dime, go for Pacifica French Lilac. It is inexpensive, yet smells luxurious.

Amouage Lilac Love
Middle notes are Cacao, Tonka Bean, and Orris;

As I have a thing for pastel colors, the pastel purple bottle of Lilac Love caught my eye at first glance. This scent is about romanticizing love for florals.
Thus, if you like your fragrances to be all about florals, Lilac Love is a must for you.
Most of the floral scents are light and close to your skin. But not this one. It is loud and provides you with a statement.
If you love lilac scents as much as I do, Lilac Love is a must-have for you.
The perfume has a powdery texture with a sweet smell as well. It has a lasting power of 10 to 12 hours.
The florals are covered with cacao and vanilla which gives a gourmand touch. And this part makes the fragrance different from the other floral scent.
WHEN TO WEAR:
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:
- Feminine scent.
- Crowd pleaser.

Frederic Malle En Passant
As most lilac-based perfumes are heavy enough to give you a headache, En Passant is my all-time favorite.
This masterpiece is the creation of Olivia Giacobetti. The majority of her scents are faint and subtle. Perhaps this is why she was able to utilize the lilac note in a unique way.
En passant is a great choice if you’re seeking an aquatic green flowery aroma.
En passant will make you feel as if you’re traveling through a lilac garden after it’s been raining. The watery notes give off the impression that each note is covered in water droplets.
In addition, cucumber contributes to the scent’s serenity and creates a cooling effect. Wheat and cucumber are an unusual combo. I haven’t found any other perfume that combines these two elements.
That is why this fragrance is unique and on top of my lilac perfumes list. However, the durability isn’t fantastic; it only lasts 5 to 6 hours, with a moderate projection.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

And, as a bonus, you will also get tart rhubarb.
The name completely defines the smell of the scent. The sweet tone of lilac is beautifully balanced by Rhubarb. Although rhubarb works in the background, it has a significant role in the scent composition.

One of my birthday presents this year was Estee Lauder’s Pleasures.
Surprisingly, it was my first time sniffing this gorgeous lilac perfume. And as soon as I inhaled the scent, I understood why it is known as the queen of spring.
Estee Lauder created this perfume in 1995 to create a floral lilac aroma for the spring season. They even made an effort to promote it in that direction as well. Of course, they were successful.
