Honestly, you'll want to get out of bed in the morning just to spritz yourself with this.
When the weather is pushing 100 degrees and it feels like it's 90 percent humidity outside, it's really hard to want to wear a heavy fragrance. Scents that smell lovely most days of the year can all of a sudden become overbearing or just plain unbearable. Not to mention, if you have the unfortunate circumstance of starting to smell a little bit ripe, well, that's never a good combo with any perfume. In this sweltering weather, day in and day out, I have been reaching for Vilhelm Parfumerie Lilac Path. This fragrance makes me wish smell-o-vision existed. This is light and airy and floral in the most inviting kind of way.

One whiff is enough to transport you to garden filmed with
morning dew, when everything is still calm and quiet. It still has a
little bit of cheekiness to it with a subtle sexiness of woodland
nymph... who is likely causing trouble somewhere. It's light and it's
sexy, and most importantly, it will make you feel refreshed and excited
for your day even when it is so humid you feel like you are walking
through sludge. For more on what makes the fragrance a breath of fresh
air, I gabbed with Jan Vilhelm, the founder of Vilhelm Perfumerie.

What Makes It Special:
One whiff and you will feel calm and tranquil, but also happy because lilacs smell divine.
Who’s It For:
If you appreciate the simple and beautiful things. Or if you want to feel really fresh.
When to Use It:
What It Feels Like:
Finally being able to channel a bit of
that forest nymph nature you knew you had. It gives you beautiful,
elusive smell of nature's delicate beauty and a credible, albeit
duplicitous, "I'm not wearing anything, this is my natural scent" scent.
What It Smells Like:
A dewy morning garden filled with lilacs!
Morning, noon, or night. Lilac's bloom
for just a couple of weeks—why not carry a bit of that scent with you
throughout the rest of the year? This is especially lovely when heat is
unbearable.
