This is a beachy, lush floral fragrance with a heart of thick, sweet cream of coconut and vanilla. The lily emerges as a subtle background note, and I don't smell much in the way of incense. The oil produces an impressive sillage, and like other SSS fragrances, a few drops goes a long way. I recommend dabbing this on pulse points. Not my favorite from the line, but a good casual summertime fragrance.

I agree with the reviews below. This is a beautiful, lush, creamy perfume that is reminiscent of Monyette Paris, but not as sweet. Notes include : incense, amber, vanilla and lily. It is a lovely fragrance, with just the slightest incense note. Lasting power is great on my skin.

I did think this smelled familiar when I first put it on. Then I remembered the comparisons to Monyette, and yes, it does smell similar, but without the gardenia. I am a fan of Monyette by the way. Sweet incense with a bit of amber, I like it for evenings. It's warm, but not too sweet.

This reminded me of Bain de Soliel gelee. It's nice, but too much of a reminder of my failed attempts at tanning.

My third sample from Laurie and my third hit. I don't know how many fragrance samples I've tried in the last couple of years (close to 300) but three for three is unheard of for me. I'm usually like 0 for 10 and highly disappointed. Laurie, besides being a gem, has some wonderful scents. This is fantastic. Lovely light lily with incense, amber, coconut and light vanilla. Very pretty, light and feminine. I love it.

Dry incense, a little coconut, a bit of chalky vanilla, and almost undetectable lily. I really like Incense Lily - it sounds like it would be sweet, but it's not very sweet at all. One spritz of this goes a long way. It reminds me a lot of Organza Indecence, another "less gourmand than its notes would imply" fragrance. Unfortunately the DH has decided that he loathes it, so up for swap my new bottle goes.

This is gorgeous. I rec'd it as a swap extra, and though I cannot remember from whom I would love to say "Thank you!" to her. I completely agree with the previous reviewers. Definitely similar to Monyette, but softer and more subtle. Long lasting and what a price! My first SSS, but certainly not my last. Absolutely full bottle worthy.

A very nice blend of floral (lily) w/incense very feminine and sweet, drydown is great specially. lasting power is amazing too. otherr notes amber and vanilla I believe..you can't go wrong w/this one. suitable in any weather.

Beautiful, creamy blend of white lily, vanilla, incense, and amber. Similar to Monyette, yes, but not nearly as sweet and a bit easier on the nose. Very feminine and sexy, and compared to Monyette, a bargain.

I just received a sample of this in an order, and just as the previous reviewers stated, it is reminiscent of Monyette Paris. That is a good thing IMO. If you like Monyette, I would advise you to give this scent a try as it does come in eau de parfum spray, which for those who prefer to spray as oppose to use an oil roll-on. It's not just like Monyette, but it smells close enough to it that I'd be buying this in the future for much less.

A gorgeous blend of soft nag champa incense and delicate, subtle lily. Like Razzy mentioned below, it is VERY much like Monyette, minus the harsh gardenia note...it even gives the same impression of coconut sunblock (so much so that I got asked more than once while sampling, what that *gorgeous* scented sunscreen I was wearing was). Thankfully, this costs much less, doesn't come in the annoying oil form, and lasts even longer than Monyette on my skin!

Another sure winner from Sonoma Scents Studio! This is gorgeous. You know how some lilies are thin and sharp? Not this one...it's warm, rich, beautifully blended into a base of light temple incense and vanilla. Creamy and exotic (think Monyette Paris w/out *all* that gardenia). Being an incense addict, I'm always on the lookout for something with that incense feel that I can wear in the spring/summer. Hooray! I found it! :-)
