A closer look at Corine de Farme Lilly EDT
Corine de Farme is the house behind Lilly EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
How long Lilly stays on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Slava Zaitsev Maroussia and Gabriela Sabatini last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is soft: people must be close to smell it. If you want others to notice it, use a few more sprays. Slava Zaitsev Maroussia and Gabriela Sabatini spread further.
Lilly: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Gabriela Sabatini is a lighter match.
