Lys Mediterranee Fragrance Reviews

I am confused about whether the "lys" in Frédéric Malle LYS MEDITERRANEE is supposed to be lily or lily of the valley. And is ginger lily a flower or do we have ginger and lily or LOTV here? In any case, to my nose, this perfume opens with a burst of bright orange blossom before an aromatic quality of mingling ginger and angelica sweep in to create a unisex out of what seemed as though it was going to be a feminine floral perfume!

I am reminded in wearing LYS MEDITERRANEE of the opening of Bond no 9 NEW YORK FLING, which is erroneously marketed to women when in fact it is a completely unisex and barely floral aromatic perfume featuring ginger as the focal note. The ginger in LYS MEDITERRANEE is not quite as marked as in NEW YORK FLING, but it still is enough to make this seem far less floral than I had been expecting.

Yes, mediterranean seem apt here: fresh and breezy, this is an easy fragrance to wear. Pretty much the antithesis of POISON, amazingly created by the very same perfumer: Edouard Fléchier. Now that's what I call versatility!

Truly exquisite. One of my very favourites. Sharply authentic and juicy fading to heat.

On one day of summer, after a long exhausting travel, I was standing at a station near a green wood and waiting for a train coming.
Then wind blew and sent me green-floral aroma, it was completely the same to the top notes of “Lys Mediterranee”, the moment just after sprayed on my arm.
It was an extraordinary experience on a hot and humid summer day, the aroma I felt was so fragrant.
I have never imagined I could have a chance to feel this in natural environment.
I detect evident synthetic notes in this fragrance.
Do marine and ozonic notes exist in natural environment?
(Could someone tell me please)
I wanted to know what was the source of the magnificent aroma from the green wood, I could not find any flowers as far as I searched by my eye.
Now I can feel wonderful white floral aroma from the green wood wherever I go, again and again.
My favorite one, I will cherish :)

Lys mediterranee is the precise rapresentation of its name: a lily on a carpet of mediterranean herbs on the shores of the sea. A great idea but unfortunately not for me as it is a picture to smell more than a scent to wear.

Lys Mediterranee is a sober composition that fits "the mediterranean bill". Good quality muguet and citrus skillfully orchestrated for an easy to wear spring / summer scent. Gentle and sweet musky drydown. Not a groundbreaking release but surely honest and well executed.

Rating: 7/10

My point is, you can't beat nature's perfumes. So what a perfumer should do is to create something new, whether it's the reminiscence of a moment, or a feeling, or whatever; it's useless to replicate a natural smell.
Lys Mediterranee is a wonderful, natural, fresh smell of lilies. It gives you the feeling you get when you put your nose in a bunch of flowers. It's a wonderful replica, but that's where the problem is. Is there any point in such a beautiful exercise? I'd rather smell a real lily, then.

Fresh, clean and very enjoyable. The mathmatical side of it, is that it is very expensive.

This is very much a true lily scent which is fresh and bracing as well. It seems stronger than other malles i've tried which I actually like.Seems it would be safe to wear in most situations as well. However, a man would have to be fairly brave to pull this off! On my skin the dry down is a soft, somewhat vegetal lily. Very nicely done.

Beautiful, delicate lilies, slightly wet, slightly green. It is not too severe and not "scream", very comfortable. But for me the lilies with a conifers too recalls the funeral wreaths.
Base reminds Hermessence Vanille Gallante, but VG is more sweet.

This opens as a bright aquatic lily, like burying your face in muguets still wet with dew. A few minutes in the ginger lily’s spiciness subtly makes an appearance and I find a slight saltiness set in as this develops on my skin. A true to nature, non-cloying lily scent.

Very strong, sharp and sweet, but natural. In the general feel it is very similar to some Goutal's and Luten's perfumes. When I tried it I thought it's fruity notes I was getting , but now think it might be strong like oriental flowers lotus and orange blossom mixture. Fresh in a way, but its sharp as well and annoys a nose a little

Ginger lilies, with a touch of softness There are other notes in here, but it’s mostly white flowers. Well, done, very well done, but Easter Sunday in a bottle, nonetheless.

On my skin it is a pure mono lily scent which is not sweet nor "plastic". On contrary, it is very natural, fresh, green, mixed with the notes of freshly cut grass. Lovely!

This is quite interesting. At first I liked it, then I didn´t really liked it and now I like it again! It starts off very fresh and a little spicy at the same time. A lot of strong flowery notes almost exploding on my skin, but I don´t really think it smells lily... there isn´t any lily listed either?

On me this actually is a aquatic floral, it makes me think of lotusflowers in an almost hidden pond in the garden surrounded by lush flowers and bushes. It is really nice, warm and cozy but something in some note dosn´t really work with my chemistry, I can sense a little bit of something plastic or fake. But I am sure it works very well on many others... Even with the plasticnote it is likeable.

Absolutly worth trying, but I don´t consider it such a masterpiece as for example Carnal Flower and Musc Ravegeur from Frederic Malle.
