lily

Lily by Christian Dior, launched in 1999 and composed by Florence Idier, is a green floral built around a single idea: lily-of-the-valley rendered with unusual clarity. The top opens on green notes—think crushed stems and cool leaves rather than citrus brightness—before the heart unfolds into a full bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, lilac, lily, jasmine and rose. The effect is dewy and luminous, with the lily and lilac lending a slightly powdery, spring-garden texture. In the base, musk and sandalwood soften the florals without weighing them down, leaving a clean, woody-floral trail.

Collectors who love transparent white florals—Diorissimo loyalists, fans of green spring scents—will find this a quieter, more modern counterpart. It suits daytime wear in warm weather, and its fresh, green character makes it easy to wear for those who find heavier white florals overwhelming. Because it is discontinued, bottles are increasingly hard to find; check for juice discoloration and evaporation before buying.

Dior Lily（1999，Florence Idier 調製）係一支以鈴蘭為核心嘅綠葉花香。前調係青綠葉片同折斷莖幹嘅氣息，唔係柑橘嗰種明亮，而係清涼、帶汁液感。中調綻放鈴蘭、丁香、百合、茉莉同玫瑰，白花為主但唔厚重，百合同丁香添上一層微粉嘅春日花園質感。基調用麝香同檀香木托住花香，留低乾淨、帶木質感嘅尾韻。

氣質清透、斯文，適合日間、春天同夏天使用，尤其啱鍾意透明白花、又怕濃郁花香嘅人。因為已停產，市面少見，入手前要留意香水有冇變色或揮發。
