Le Labo
Lys 41 EDP
“Lily as a manifesto — aldehyde-clean, musk-soft, and deeply still.”
The take
What works
- ●Lily done with full conviction — neither too green nor too white-floral sweet
- ●Aldehydic opener adds sophistication and vintage-leaning depth
- ●Tuberose-musk drydown is exceptionally skin-like
Trade-offs
- ●Lily soliflore is a narrow proposition — either it speaks to you or it doesn't
- ●Le Labo's pricing continues to outpace its competitors
