Therefore I would add to your list Ineke's lovely After My Own Heart. "Sweet fruity (bergamot and raspberry) and crisp green notes lead into the heart of lilac. The base features sandalwood, heliotrope, and musk." Despite the other notes it is basically a fresh, lovely, and quite realistic-smelling lilac soliflore.

Γεια σου λοιπόν! I will have a look around your blog since I found it quite interesting I've not smelled some of the perfumes you mentioned. The only one I will not dare go near is Amaranthine. My skin completely disagrees with Penhaligon's perfumes.

Une Fleur de Cassie and Tiarè would make it on top of my spring list too: I find both perfumes amazing and gorgeous!!!

This is has never been a good fragrance for me but it definitely does shine in the spring on others.
