Revisiting Malle and as always stuff like this, en passant and eau de magnolia have this sense too as well as some I don't like as much like the Angelique one and L'eau d'Hiver is just conceptually superior (although seemingly simple) and perfectly executed. There's something very present about these Malle's they don't feel like they are respecting tradition but nor are they future facing trying to break new ground, or be the next trend. They are more accurately a moment, simply captured, and to me there's something comforting and liberating about them. It's as if the perfumers were recreating the beautiful head-space of a flower, what I mean is that there's a sense of 'air' a feeling of atmosphere, space, whatever you want to call it. Lys Mediteranee is carried to you upon the breeze, it's lovely. Smells oceanic, the ginger listed here actually is just perceivable ever so slightly, as well as a green tint to the florals, which are both exotic and familiarly wafted from various summer blossoms. I bought a small 10ml just to test the water, I see this as a functional, hot weather fragrance, to cool me off. I'm always going on about how perfume should be complex and 'do' lots of stuff well these are the exceptions, they don't do much, they are not really multilayered experiences, but rather zen calm, aromatherapy which allows you to clear your head. In fact this scent would be ideal for meditation. Despite all the praise it's far from my favourite Malle, but if you like lilies and florals in general this is so nice and light as a feather.
