Fleur de Lalita

Whenever someone describes a perfume as smelling like a high-end florist shop, I rush to sample it. And, it seems, I'm always disappointed. Either the fragrance is too synthetic smelling or there's a nagging stale note that weighs the composition down. But Fleur de Lalita is the real thing--a fresh, realistic, exquisite bouquet of lilies, roses, jasmine and magnolia blossoms. I'd say it's a little soapy, but only because it smells clean and luxurious like the soap at a five-star resort. It has an old-fashioned romantic vibe, particularly in the heady opening. Then the green notes rush in and it becomes a vibrant, confident, modern fragrance during the dry-down and for hours after. Definitely feminine. Now I just have to decide whether to buy the travel spray or spring for the full bottle

This one is an absolute belter! as usual smells so natural due to the usage of natural tinctures and oils! First Blast of powerful white flowers, especially white lily but blends so well with the other florals notes! Pissara is known for making amazing florals scents so if your a fan of floral, this line is a must! 8/10

Looking at the notes this was suppose to be the favorite from the 5 i tried but it appeared to be least liked. Its has a bit outdated and vintagy vibe. As it drying down it smells much better, but no Wow factor here. I expected more. I love how it did change from the begging. It became softer and more floral. I can hear pretty Magnolia Just the begging is not good. It dries down to soft floral scent which i dont hate.

Green, refreshing and sweet. Between the rose and the jasmine, there is the smell of frangipani, obviously. I thought for the first time that I was on my way home. There is a frangipani tree near my house. If passing by, I usually walk up, bend down, and pick up a few fallen flowers. This is one of the few scent memories I have. This work is quite Austronesian, reminiscent of the sun and flowers of Bali…… could it be that Pissara Umavijani was on vacation there when she wrote the recipe?

Fleur de Lalita is an absolutely stunning and joyful white floral, featuring lively jasmine and lily with a realistic botanical feel, with a fresh and dewy green naturalness to it, like the scent the flowers would give off while being watered. The galbanum is very present and is quite potent initially, giving the initial opening an almost chypre like feel, but Lalita quickly settles into more of a vibrant white floral but with a crispness rarely found without being headache inducing. I’m very sensitive to certain pungent white flowers, lily being at the top of the list, but somehow this is done in a way that is actually soothing to my senses instead of the usual piercing between my eyes that I normally get from similar notes. On paper, this sounds like a “no way” for me with all the jasmine, lily and magnolia, but somehow these notes magically harmonize and create a beautiful and realistic botanical white floral unlike most I have tried. Lalita settles into a slightly sweeter version after a couple of hours when gentle vanilla, clean musk and rose surface. After 3-4 hours the galbanum returns and lingers with the musky ambergris base for the remaining duration of the dry down. Fleur de Lalita is such a celebration of femininity, joy and optimism without going too “pink” or overly sweet. Fleur de Lalita is stunning and is proof we should never rule out any notes. Sometimes we just haven’t found the right combo or artistic touch to make it work for us. 5/5 for me.
