The Story
Private Collection Lilac is a lush, photorealistic lilac that captures the essence of a spring garden in full bloom. Alberto Morillas crafted this fragrance to smell exactly like a lilac bush after a light rain, with green stems and all. It opens with a burst of fresh lilac and green notes, then settles into a soft, powdery floral heart with a touch of heliotrope. The base is clean and musky, making it feel both nostalgic and elegant.
