    Really a 3.5 as I am not really a floral person. Green, fresh bright lily. I didn’t think this was particularly marine or oceanic, but it’s been a while since I’ve worn anything with saline notes. ...

    How strange, how uncomfortable at first and how pleasant at the same time. Lys Mediterranee sits at an interesting crossroads where my established expectations and perspective don’t help me that...

    I vastly prefer this to Serge Lutens's Un Lys, and here's why: I think the pure lily notes meld much better with Lys Mediterranee's green, grassy oceanic base than with the vanilla in Un Lys that...

    This a really beautiful fragrance, but not one that is an everyday sort of scent for me (for reasons that I'll try to make clear here) so it gets 4 lipsticks (for now anyway). The best way for me...

    I agree with previous reviewers who describe this to be very authentic to the lily flower, but delicate. It doesn't assault my senses with the heady sharpness that I usually get with white florals....

    My problem with this scent is that it's mostly ginger lily, which is too spicy for me. But it is well-done, so if you love ginger lily, I'd definitely recommend it. If I apply just a dot of...

    This is very pretty, and the lasting power is amazing; my dry skin has a hard time carrying/ (i.e. transporting?) many scents, but a couple dabs of this lasts all day; and yet, it's not at all...

    This is a beautiful fresh green lily fragrance with fantastic staying power, the lily does tend to fade out and it smells almost more like orange blossom as the day goes on but as I like both...

    Lily of the Valley with a slight, softly spicy carnation-like note to it .Warm and sweet, linear--there's nothing spiky, overtly green or jarring about it. A skin-lily, if you will, but very, very...

    I usually reserve 5 lipstick reviews for things that I am absolutely in love with, that just strike me as absolutely perfect. Lys Mediterranee isn't *quite* there, but it's the best lily fragrance...

    Lys Méditerranée is a beautiful olfactory essay on the lily. As reviewers here and elsewhere have noted, it smells like the rush you get when you open a florist’s cold refrigerator full of fresh...

    This starts with some fresh green notes, a little deep, nothing to turn off this normally-hate-green person. Then it goes into orange blossoms and the sea. At times, the orange blossoms seem a...

    On reading below reviews, I was stunned by many comments on Lys Mediterranee smells like Serge Lutens Un lys. IMHO, they are completely different. Lys Med is rather cool with sheer refreshing...

    While I agree that this is quite similar to SL Un Lys, I like Lys Mediterranee for it's aquatic freshness. Not that the effect is in any way salted or ozonic, more of a sheer lift to the green...

    this is beautiful in a simple, floral way. it is pure flowers, as in you smell like you just rolled in a lily bed. it doesn't go sharp or powdery like a lot of florals do, it stays soft and...

    I can't buy this simply because it would end in a divorce due to the price! However, it is a nice perfume that smells strongly like honeysuckle and/or lilly. My husband like it~he said it smells...

    This is very beautiful, but it is a smellalike for SL Un Lys and Yves Rocher's dc'd Pur Desir du Lys. I am taking points off for unoriginality. Also, there is such a strong undercurrent of...

    This is a very sheer lily, with just the lightest touch of what seems like orange blossom underlying it. It's aquatic in its sheerness...reminds me a bit of Ralph Lauren Blue, but much better. I...
