About Lilac

In a creative collaboration with master gardeners at the New York Botanical Garden and renowned perfumer Laurent Le Guernec, Caswell-Massey has reimagined the authentic scent of living lilacs that bloom along the Garden’s Lilac Hill. The flowering period is brief, yet magical, as the plant only flourishes in colder regions. Now, no matter the season, you can enjoy the natural scent of this much-loved bloom.

With 21st-century fragrance technology, we can responsibly bring the experience of a living garden to you without harming or harvesting flowers using the 'living floral' technique. Applying this fragrance-capture technology, the scent signatures of unharvested flowers are identified (producing something akin to sheet music). This enables the team to recreate “nature-identical” scent molecules using sustainably sourced materials (the instruments for the sheet music), without harming the rare botanical species. These nature-identical molecules are then reimagined by perfumers (the conductors) to create Perfumes and Eau de Toilettes (the finished symphonies) for our Floral Collection.

Fragrance technology aside, the lingering scent of lilac and seductive suede engulfs you in a warm embrace. The amber, muguet, and sparkling bergamot give off the right amount of floral aroma while coming down to a calmer, dry finish.

This cruelty-free spray is created using only sustainable packaging made with FSC-certified paper. Spritz away, knowing the natural extracts are produced using solar power right here in the U.S. Be ready to take this warm fragrance everywhere with you in a travel size or keep a full bottle handy for a daily spritz.

Fragrances don’t have to be so complicated, and Lilac Eau de Toilette wears as a perfect single-note wear or seamlessly layered with your other favorite aroma. Simplify your scent with a fragrance that supports the New York Botanical Gardens in their research and education while bringing out a certain nuance to your femininity. We all have that scent we love and can’t wait to put on, so see if Lilac Eau de Toilette from Caswell-Massey will be yours.
