Breathe Lollia for women

This smells EXACTLY like the Amlika leave-in conditioner from The Body Shop that I had many years ago. I always thought it smelled so good... It is a very happy, casual and pleasant scent. I could swear that there's a little bit of rose in this, but maybe it's just the mix of flowers that gives that impression.
Not sure whether I would want this as a perfume since I associate it so strongly with hair care product. On the other hand... it smells so darn good.

BREATHE features slightly dirty lily, the dark quality probably being contributed to by the moss note in this composition. I don't think that it is oak moss, but it is a dark enough green to move this closer to a floral chypre than a floral green, it seems to me. In any case, it smells good, if lily happens to be your thing. This is definitely much more about lily than it is about peony. Certainly lily appreciation is a prerequisite to wearing this perfume, which has good longevity and medium sillage on my skin.

Over the course of testing a variety of Margot Elena's perfumes, it has become clear to me that she has excellent taste. No, her perfumes are not wild and revolutionary, nor are they very complex. Nonetheless, she has a real knack for combining simple groups of notes in lovely ways. BREATHE is yet another case in point: a simple, natural-smelling and satisfying pleasure from the house of Lollia.

As far as perfumes go, this one is fairly inexpensive, around $46.00 a bottle. Breathe is labelled as a Floral Green, but really, I'd say it was more of a Floral Aquatic...it's got more of a watery element than green. The stars of this show are lily and peony, with the peony slightly out in front. Combined, they form a creamy-sweet floral that just screams spring. There are slight hints of citrus, orange, and grapefruit in the top notes, but they fade out quickly, as citrus scents do. The drydown is demure and slightly powdery, with notes of milk and honey, which enhance the floral element of Breathe and really makes it last. The aquatic element comes from the lily; it makes you think of water lilies floating on top of a pretty Japanese pond with white koi gliding underneath the surface.

It's the epitome of delicacy, from the exquisite fragrance down to the crystal chandelier piece wrapped around the bottle with ribbon. And even better, while reading about it, I discovered that it's a favorite of Susan Sarandon. And who doesn't love Susan Sarandon?

I don't think the word Breathe really matches with this fragrance. I find it way too perfum-y to be in the category of breathy or airy. It's a very nice perfume, but I like it on other people, not for myself. It's strictly floral and reminds me of the scent of a cheap but colorful mixed bouquet of flowers--like a mix of lilies, carnations, irises, and greens that you might buy to brighten up your kitchen table.

Nice, light fresh floral. The peony and white lily notes are most noticeable to me. I purchased this as a "light, weekend, casual" type fragrance for when I am out and perhaps running errands and don't want to "waste" my more expensive stuff!! I usually get it cheap on ebay!
