Lilac Brûlée EDP

$145.00 USD
A delicious floral confection.
Lilac reimagined as a sophisticated gourmand. Delicate lilac blossoms and fresh mimosa, brightened by a surprising twist of tangy rhubarb lead to a heart of sweet marzipan and soft vanilla cream. The base reveals rich notes of sandalwood and cedar wrapped in a warm embrace of praline and tonka bean.

One of our top sellers, Lilac Brûlée balances the familiar and unexpected: classic lilac finds new expression in a modern gourmand composition.

When customers asked me to transform our beloved Toasted Lilac soap into a perfume, I thought it would be straightforward. But soap and perfume formulas speak different languages: soap fragrances are drawn with bold strokes, while perfumes require fine brushwork.

I ended up doing a year of development. The challenge wasn't just preserving lilac's beauty but reimagining it. Lilac notes are used in many soaps and household cleaners. That association is one reason there are few lilac perfumes.

By amplifying the hidden almond note naturally present in lilac and adding a gourmand twist, Lilac Brûlée emerged as something unexpected–a floral reinvented as a gourmand.

What began as an adaptation became a whole new story, one that honors its origins while charting its own course.

a beautiful surprise

I hesitated over this solely because florals are hit-or-miss on me personally (dratted skin chemistry!) and initially went for the soap! I fell in love with the soap and decided to try the EDP. No regrets. This is light, great for spring/summer, but with an unexpected depth given by the toasted notes: lace-like lilacs married perfectly to a sense of earth and wildness. It's unlike anything else in my perfume collection and I treasure every moment I wear it.

Lovely surprise

I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I do. It’s a tart, sweet, cozy, non-cupcake vanilla with florals. I love everything about and went through my sample quickly. I got the 10ml but see a bigger bottle in my future

Lilac Brulee literally smells delicious

Lilac Brulee literally smells delicious. It's light, and wonderful fragrance has garnered me many compliments. I'm thrilled with FZOTIC. Bruno is a thoughtful, artistic, and clever genius. If you love lilac, and a hint of desert, then Lilac Brulee should definitely be your go to fragrance!

A dream

This is sweet, creamy and light. The perfect mix of floral and gourmand. I get creamy honey sweetened with almond blossom and sandalwood with a beautiful and fleeting lilac (but aren't they always beautiful and fleeting?)

Incredible fragrance and lasts a long time

I was introduced to Fzotic through a friend who was wearing Lamp Black. I bought a sample pack of Bruno's fragrances and I originally thought Lilac Brulee was a bit too sweet for me. So I took a chance and put some on and was stunned by the difference between how it smells when initially applied vs. when it dries on your skin. Net net...if you like more musky fragrances, take the challenge. This is a delightful fragrance and will attract a lot of compliments. I have yet to be disappointed by Bruno's products. Buy this with confidence.

flormand for those who don't like gourmands

This is an unexpected pleasure. A soft lilac opening that dries down to subtly spiced biscuit that is not overly sweet and an elevated take on a gourmand.

An absolutely delicious Flormond!

A while back I ordered a discovery set and my least anticipated fragrance was lilac brulee. Boy was I wrong it opens clean and sweet and settles into a delicious burnt sugar Delight. Long-lasting nearly a full work day compliment getter but not too strong for work

unexpected unisex gourmand

The woodiness mixed with the lilac and marzipan is addictive and well-balanced. A not-too-sweet mix of masculine and feminine scent profiles that my boyfriend likes to smell on me when reading in bed.

Gourmand convert!

I’m not usually a gourmand lover, but this stays fresh enough to really pull in people like me. It’s a great scent, great staying power. I’ve never smelled anything like it and I sample a lot of perfumes! An absolute gem

Beautiful Fleurmand

Is that a real word? Probably not, but this sits so prettily between floral and sweet I can't think of another way to describe it. The lilac and mimosa show up first, so plush and sweet. The longer it sits on my skin, the more I catch the marzipan and sandalwood, which do such a great job grounding this scent without overwhelming the more delicate notes. It lasts about 7 hours or so on my skin, and is beautiful the whole way through!

A very complex gourmand that smells incredible. I love the way Fzotic does gourmands, they’re interesting and quite beautiful.

Love Lilac Brûlée!

After sampling Lilac Brûlée in a custom Discovery Set, I decided to splurge on a full size bottle. Despite its name, I personally don’t pick up a lot of lilac, but more of the rhubarb, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean. It’s a very rich, cozy gourmand that is probably better suited for cool weather than warm. It’s a distinct scent and pleasantly lingers for the better part of the day. Very different from the bright citrus and sandalwood notes in Unsettled or the delicate green notes in Monserrat, both of which I also love. I may try layering Lilac Brûlée with one of the other two lighter scents just to see how they interact.

A huge fan

I tried a sample of lilac brûlee as part of a perfume smell club that I participate in monthly. One whiff of this and I knew I had to grab a full bottle. It’s just an incredible scent and I am so happy that I have it!

Prove me wrong

I’m now a reformed gourmand hater. I got a sample in a curated pack from luckyscent and immediately went full bottle. This scent is so beautiful, I’ve been reaching for it nonstop.

Comforting, Sweet, Cozy.

I was intrigued by Lilac Brûlée, and prior to testing I thought I’d love it. At first inhale I felt like it was too youthful for me, but the dry-down changed my mind. After wearing a sample from my local perfumery, I purchased a full bottle and am so glad I did. For me this is a wintry fragrance; I don’t pick up much lilac at all, and instead get heavy marzipan, which I adore. It’s firmly a gourmand to me, but isn’t cloyingly sweet at all. I find it incredibly comforting but also chic, like wrapping myself in a beautiful white angora sweater.

Unfortunately Gate-keeping this

Smells incredible, better than the soap I love so much and compliment each other well to be surrounded in warm lilac smell. I agree with other reviews I've seen that the lilac smell could be a bit stronger, but I like the gourmand strong scent. I feel like has great staying ability and I usually can smell it in my hair the next day. I bought the travel but will be buying the full next time.

Almond brulee

Great service, fast shipping, but the scent is just not for me. On my skin I don't pick up any lilac, instead almond, cinnamon, and marzipan. Very strong scent as well.

Truley enjoyable, and even my 93 yr old father enjoys it.

I have tested it on the skin for over a week. When I layer it with the Toasted Lilac soap and unscented body lotion, it becomes a skin scent on me. When I use it with other soaps and still an unscented lotion, I get a rhubarb cinnamon harmony. But the true moments of enjoyment come at the warm down with its creaminess with vanilla hints. Even my 93-year-old father enjoys Lilac Brulee.

Sweet, lilac-touched marzipan dusted with cinnamon

I blind bought the full bottle—which I do not do, but made an exception bc I trust the exacting, beautiful blends of Fzotic, and I had to have the Lilac Brûlée limited release. After a few wears of the sample, I adore this indeed! Lilac Brûlée is a sweet marzipan dusted with cinnamon, finished with a touch of whipped cream. Hints of lilac waft in, or maybe the whipped cream is accented with lilac petals. Not a straight up gourmand; rather, a fl-ourmand with a realistic touch of lilac. Projection is exactly as it should be for this sweet frag—between intimate and moderate. Gorgeous modern retro! Bruno does it again, 10/10. Fzotic is the new Zoologist.

Multifaceted Lilac Brûlée

Lilac Brûlée is a floral and a gourmand. The lilac is intoxicating and round. The rhubarb is sharp and bright. The vanilla is warm and woody. The tonka bean is grounding. It's an amazing part of my morning, when I put on my wool winter scarf and Lilac Brûlée lingers on the fibers . The lilac takes a break and the praline, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla move forward.

Nice

I'd like it to be a bit more lilac. Otherwise, I like it. The marzipan is a nice touch.

So fantastic!!

I wasn’t sure what to think about Lilac Brûlée. I don’t know if I would have tried it out if Bruno hadn’t sent out his alluring Bru notes! This is my favorite scent currently. I don’t know how to explain it anymore than try it, you’ll like it!!

Absolute Art

This is a work of art. A stunning and unique mix of delicate, powdery florals and warm spices. The rhubarb adds such an interesting tartness the first hour or two. Only lightly sweet with more intimate projection, this invites others closer. I absolutely adore this and can’t wait to experience in Spring.

This is a gorgeous addition to the FZOTIC lineup. I normally never blind buy, but I did with this one. And while I don’t ever recommend doing that, I’m so glad I did. Lilac Brûlée is an enveloping warm, creamy/custardy, floral. It’s truly gorgeous. The lilac and rhubarb truly elevate and blend so beautifully with the warmer and sweeter facets within the fragrance. I loved it from first spray to the last remnants of its dry down. I would say I get moderate to light projection for a solid six hours. Projection is not the be all, end all for me when it comes to perfume, but it’s something to note if it so happens to be for anyone else. Simply stunning and I’m kicking myself for not buying two bottles. I’m already halfway through my 30ml! 😭
And this layers beautifully with the Toasted Lilac soap by FZOTIC!
