Sweaty hothouse white floral. The palpable, viscous sweetness of the lily and barely-indolic jasmine is undercut by a slight vegetal greenness and a musky, earthy accord that's somewhere between cigarette and petrichor. In the second hour, just when I think this is beginning to dry down into a straightforward floral bouquet, a fascinating, dusty hay/barnyard thing emerges out of nowhere and takes over. A very well-made and beautiful fragrance.

96am

Definitely need a sample before you buy. ambergris on me can come off quite sweaty, and this definitely just made me smell like i was sweating in the middle of a garden.

Farrque

Iris, green rose stem, lily of the valley, jasmine, magnolia, petrichor, ambrette and sandalwood.
Amazingly balanced! An addictive, STUNNING scent. Can't stop sniffing this elixir.

reginasiena

First time I tried it, I rarely smell anything. And then I Overspray like super overspray and I didn't regret it. I love the beauty of the green notes, realistic flower bouquet, oh so beautiful! But my husband said it's turning sour and overwhelming. I got Rose mainly and some white flowers.

Natlovemoon

Lalita is crystal, transparent, shining air. Beautiful and subtle, like the smallest drops of dew on an invisible cobweb. The most delicate, bitter flowers, graceful and fragile to the point of impossibility... it seems incredible that flowers can be like this.
Every petal is flawless, every flower is in its place in the bouquet... and the sun's rays crush droplets of cool water.

An incredibly elegant and sophisticated scent. He awakens the best aesthetic impulses: from appearance to manners. I want to be beautiful.
It's simply breathtaking
I can safely say that no one else can work with Pissara’s florals – so gently, in halftones, in a half whisper. With tender respect for nature, although this nature is unearthly. These are heavenly bouquets - Dusita means Paradise.

In general, who wants to go to a quiet and pristine perfume paradise, ephemeral images created not on earth but in heaven, ask Dusita.

ingrid.superstar

Many times I’ve fallen in love with the idea of a fragrance well before trying it, only to find that the thing itself doesn’t live up to my glittering, inflated, prose-fueled ideas.

Don’t get me wrong—I love the opening of Fleur de Lalita: that flash of bitter, green galbanum! But it calms down almost instantly into a powdery compact of white-ish florals. I see the porcelain cheek of a doll in a stiff, sage-colored dress — all reminding me of powerered stiffness. A whiff of rubber comes and goes (lily does this for me), reminiscent of an antique doll- or toy-store. Somehow woodsy, dusty, and powdery, yet juxtaposed against humid florals. In terms of vibe and some (only some!) of the notes, this is an improbable mash-up between Chloe Love and Tocca Florence: that is, gentle, unapologetically floral, and borderline tropical-fusty.

They say we can only smell what we can name, and this fragrance is frustrating me in terms of being able to describe my truest impressions. I find it fascinating despite not wanting to wear it much. Sadly, the longevity is poor; a trade-off, I think, for the superb quality of Dusita’s often-natural materials. *But * I’ll spray my sample with abandon til it’s gone, trying to capture that galbanum harp-string trill.

curieuse

Very much reminded of Chanel no.5. Rich floral. Longevity is not as powerful as Chanel.

Tshahb

What seems like a polite, delicate floral soon becomes skanky and rich, and I LOVE it. It's never the same thing twice, being green, indolic, cold, rich, delicate and wild, a real conundrum of a fragrance. I find all of the Dusita florals like this, but I think this is my favourite...

Dusita does florals like no other., truly masterful.

stimulatingscents

I recently got Fleur de Lalita, Montri and Erawan from Parfums Dusita. They’re all so beautiful, delicate, and sophisticated, and feel very personal and creatively composed despite also smelling classic. I wore Fleur de Lalita to bed and the next day my bed smelled of pure sandalwood full of volume and voluptuousness. The ingredients are obviously high quality and smell close to nature. They show Pissara’s singular approach and make me feel close to her as an artist.
Fleur de Lalita smells like crushed flowers in a temple, releasing their indoles and terpenes very slowly and sensuously, mixed with the smoke that rises from ritual fire and a diaphanous sandalwood whipping through freely through the halls smelling natural but also evocative of ancient rituals. Very atmospheric and transportive and I feel like I know something of Pissara through her perfumes. You can feel the love that goes into making them.

Patricia888

Opens very green, like flower stems instead of flowers themselves. It stays green and even a bit bitter for 15 minutes on my skin after which you can barely feel anything. It stays much longer on clothes though. I find it kind of difficult to wear, so sample before buying.

churinl

After sampling this several times, and allowing myself time to get past the bitter, green galbanum, I realized just how much I love this and purchased a full bottle. I'll likely purchase the body/hair spray in a few weeks because Dusitas always need a boost.
What I love best is the lily and how it is softened by the jasmine. There are so many base notes that are hard for me to identify, but they end of supporting what can easily have been just another ho-hum floral fragrance, but the quality of the blending and materials used make this one a stunner for me. Because of the galbantum, it calls to mind the opening of Erawan, which I also fall in love with once the bitterness subsides, but beyond that, they are different and I prefer Lalita. I have always loved florals, and I'm happy to see they are making a bit of a comeback, though I would continue to love and wear them even if that was not the case. This is very much a throwback to old school French perfumery, though it rings clearer and more purely. I had really wanted to purchase Melodie de L'Amour, but I need to wait and save up for it specifically. I think Lalita is my second favorite.

PS - @Enrium did an excellent job describing my experience with this Fume! Good job!

Sjefke

I've given up on Dusita perfumes. They are intense and dated in my eyes. My last hope was this fragrance. At the first spray I got excited. Will it? But soon the smell changes to the potpourri that my great-aunt used to have on the table. A mix of all flowers. I'm a bit more enthusiastic about the drydowb. The flowers become softer and cry out for attention a little less. Instead, the musk gets louder. Nice, but certainly not enough to buy a bottle for it.

fwuity

reminds me of the blue Barbie from the Princess and the Pauper movie, one of my most treasured dolls as a child. elegant, powdery, vintage soap-like scent — I imagine this as the scent well-to-do ladies powdered their wigs with in the Victorian era and wore to afternoon tea. Layers and layers of petticoats under flouncy bell-shaped skirts; ribbon-laced bodices; swan brooches pinned to breasts; alabaster cameos on blue silk chokers; powdery golden pollen on fully blooming lilies.

NYCNose

This is horrific on my skin. Very indolic, unfortuately. I had high hopes for this, but it smells like a dirty diaper on my skin. Not cute. Had to wash it off with baking soda.

pauroj

spray with caution is super loud, not for everyone soliflower

Enrium

While Fleur de Lalita is not a muguet scent, it feels appropriate for May Day. A fresh, green-tinged white floral, it is classic in style, featuring a prominent lily note front and centre. There is a light amber drydown, bringing this to floriental territory. It is a high-quality, classic floral, enhanced to perfection by green and amber accords.

FdL opens with a lush yet light lily note on a vintage-style hazy galbanum background. The greenness is dewy and sap-like initially, giving the effect of the stem and leaves. Clean, sweet white florals follow, rounding out the lily. Powdery jasmine is most evident, but I get some creaminess thanks to the magnolia or ylang ylang. It becomes progressively more powdery, with rose following the white florals.

As it develops further, dry, powdery vanilla keeps things sweet without choking the florals. A sweet amber accord develops in the base, complementing the bouquet at the heart of this scent beautifully. Soft woody notes emerge in the later stages. It fades to a sweet, musky skin scent with remnants of powdery florals. Sillage is strong and longevity is moderate.

A beautiful, feminine springtime scent, FdL isn't anything unusual, but is a classical floral perfume, elegant and wearable. 4/5.

TerriV

Love it! An excellent dupe is any geranium rose essential oil. Seriously.

jhjhjh

Favorite lily forward scent that I have tried so far. And that is coming from someone who doesn't like lily! I usually find lily to be sneeze and headache inducing, but the sweetness of the magnolia really balances the otherwise screechy lily here. It is quite green when it opens, but it quickly settles down to a more floral forward experience.
All in all, It's a nice modern take on a "classic" scent profile, I really appreciate it!
I am also noticing that a lot of floral dusita perfumes have an underlying rose in there that really keeps things interesting/complex.

6.5/10

LadyIva

Fleur de Lalita is all about magnolia - it’s not exactly a magnolia soliflore, but all the other notes are there just to support the star flower. When I was a teenager in the 1990s, one of the first fragrances that I owned was Yves Rocher Magnolia, in a milky white round bottle. I went through at least 5-6 bottles of Magnolia, and I still remember that scent vividly. So, as soon as I spritzed Lalita, I was like: “Ooooh, my old magnolia!” While some reviewers have noted that their skin emphasises the notes of jasmine and/or galbanum, to me these are barely detectable. I’m not sure that Fleur de Lalita justifies its steep price, but it is undoubtedly a very pretty, tender, romantic and somewhat retro/old school white floral.

adice

Oops, nope. Jasmine or other floral is going very, unwearably indolic on my skin (poopy kind of indolic with my body chemistry).

rbalkris

Sweet soft woody floral bouquet. The scent opens with a white floral medley highlighted by jasmine, and in the middle with ylang and galbanum. The perfume settles on a sweet powdery bed of ambrette, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean. The pleasant scent has moderate sillage and longevity. This is the thing that Dusita does best. Very feminine and very pretty. Enjoy!

chyan

This is such a delicate, classic and vintage smelling floral. I love it. It reminds me of Chanel No 5 and also Joy Jean Patou. The galbanum is perfect and provides it with some backbone. Keeps it interesting. I could be wearing it at the wrong time of year or doing something wrong with it because it totally eviscerates itself on my skin within an hour and becomes a deep skin scent that i can’t smell at all. On the clothes it lasts and is amazing. I just sprayed all over my shirt and am very much enjoying the ride.

Raluko111

So bitter and vinegary! I almost feel like asking it, "What have I ever done to you, to deserve this?" I have a cleaning product for degreasing the oven that smells nicer than this. I can see how this could be La Douceur de Siam's ugly little daughter. Like mother, like daughter. Why would anyone do such a horrible thing with flowers?

DT953

Floral galbanum heaven! I just really wish it lasted longer on me. Magnolia, jasmine, ambrette and something that can only be described as "Dusitinade". Layers really well with Issara.

ellennie

I thought I'd moved on from my first olfactory love of jasmine-heavy, feminine florals, but Dusita is causing me to seriously reconsider. My favorites from the Discovery Set are Fleur de Lalita and La Douceur de Siam, and I'm going back and forth over which necessitates a full bottle. The two are similar in approach, but Fleur de Lalita is cooler and fresher: bitter green galbanum dressed in gorgeous white flowers. As others have pointed out, the formula isn't particularly unique or ground-breaking, but the quality and execution are stunning. Rather than follow the current fashion of frothy, sugary-sweet floral bouquets, all flowers represented here are elegant and sophisticated. I stop noticing this fragrance after a couple of hours, but I'm not sure if it's a performance issue or just that I'm becoming habituated to the scent. Last night my friend told me, "It smells like you just put it on!" long after I stopped being able to smell it. UPDATE: I just got a full bottle of this! I got 40€ off for purchasing the Discovery Set, and they also have a promotion going right now where you get a free 15ml bottle with a full bottle purchase. I was able to fulfill my Douceur de Siam longing as well!

OmarAladdin

I absolutely love this one despite it being feminine
But i don’t care, all I care about it the embodiment of magnolia and the creamy bunch of white folwer witht the green galbanum.
All i can say is that i am head-over-heals about this one.
Thank you, Parfums Dusita

eun hae.lee

릴리 향을 맡아본적이 없어서 모르겠는데 아카시아 향과 유사한가??? 달콤하면서도 톡소는 꽃향기 속에서 자스민향이 같이퍼지고 이윽고 다른 꽃향기들도 난다.

churinl

I too was taken aback from the initial spray and for about 20 minutes all I smelt was cigarette smoke and bitterness from the galbanum. But waiting it out was worth it, as underneath it, a gorgeous lily shines through, well supported by jasmine and magnolia. They remain dominant throughout the duration, though eventually I can't pick up the ylang.
I am wearing it now for the first time in a preliminary trial. It really seems entirely about florals to me, though I'm not discounting that it may evolve further as it dries down. Right now, with the exception of that awful start, I find this a very beautiful floral, period. Nothing else pops out so I assume they are doing their job as supporting players in a quiet way. I am really falling in love with this brand.
FB worthy? Maybe. I still have other samples to get through, but I've found that I do love lily and my collection doesn't reflect that. It also has one of, if not the best, magnolia note I've ever experienced.

Air of Grace

Just can’t get past the Galbanum and the smoke scent .
Not my cup of tea

karinatfragrantica

This is a sort of retro/traditional full-bodied floral fragrance, very feminine. The opening is a bit off-putting for me as it smells really dated but the longer the wear the more all the beautiful flowery facets come through.

violeteme

I am going to sum up Fleur de Lalita in one sentence: This is what a soap used by beauty Goddesses would smell like. +

ckorp8

A floral blast that was very breathtaking. Unfortunately it only lasted close to six hrs. Definitely on the feminine side.

I found this to be a delicate soapy floral and not much more.
4/10-Nothing stood out.

molly1217

Green, refreshing and sweet.
Between the rose and the jasmine, there is the smell of frangipani, obviously.
I thought for the first time that I was on my way home.
There is a frangipani tree near my house.
If passing by, I usually walk up, bend down, and pick up a few fallen flowers.
This is one of the few scent memories I have.
This work is quite Austronesian, reminiscent of the sun and flowers of Bali…… could it be that Pissara Umavijani was on vacation there when she wrote the recipe?

Poudery

Fleur de Lalita is a refined floral scent, not too sweet, not too heavy, powdery, enhanced by a touch of greenery and something aromatic. A very female scent, though, not at all reminiscent of aftershave. There is a hint of a garden after a heavy rain, when the earth is soaked and then breathes in the warm sun. I am not talking about earthy scents, though, just the rain evaporating from the ground mixed with the smell of young, green leaves - a slight ozonic freshness in this perfume, which lingers among the florals that play the major part in Fleur de Lalita.

Yes, the price is high, no doubt about that. If you find a perfume there that suits you well, though, it might be worth it, because this is really high quality. On my skin this parfum lasts more than three hours. I sprayed it on my wrists and behind the ears in the evening and when I woke up in the middle of the night, I could still easily smell it. In the morning it was mostly gone. I love this as an inoffensive, yet complex enough to be interesting fragrance for the day and I'm hoping it will perform well in warmer weather.

meama

it's a nice hot house flower perfume who last 1 hour...but with the over used marketing arguments as : it's pure perfume, it's very niche, it's the best ingredients of the world so it's why you will pay too much (250€ for 50ml). Smell Bent have an identical perfume simply call Hot House, so if you want to experiment this one with a better longevity go for Smell Bent (40€ for 50ml)

Millefolium

This is a lovely floral, jasmine/ylang forward, but just absolutely disappears after an hour. For that one hour it is really gorgeous. If it lasted longer this would be FBW, but sadly, it has no staying power on me.

Embot

3rd wear and it keeps me guessing, sometimes I like it but not always. I can't always detect the lily and jasmine is sometimes indolic. Either way, behind the beautiful rose, is a white bouquet, nuances of galbanum and indistinguishable spice, that's more than just ambrett and ambergris. Barely sweet, very interesting and complex

Air of Grace

Starts out terribly ! I nearly gave up on this on first whiff .
Smelt like opening the lid on a composite box ! Or the smell of pulling out weeds .
Luckily , it stayed only for a few minutes .

Then it turned into a 80s rose fragrance . Strong performing rose then it mellowed to a quieter , soft floral scent .

This is the only Dusita scent I like from their house . I prefer softer fragrances and the samples I have tried from their house are so loud and powerful .

Not sure yet if this is worthy of a bottle . 🤔

AveParfum

After a bunch of trials, I see Fleur de Lalita as a clean green floral. To me it's like a lighter, cleaner, less earthy version of Erawan. I see that someone is reminded of Dia Woman by Amouage, and interestingly that is the perfume that came to mind for me too. The reason it's interesting is because it doesn't smell like Dia exactly; not even a dupe. But they are in the same class of musky, soft, clean floral. I love the pretty and sweet magnolia in the heart of this, and I do get the ambrette as it dries down, which is wonderful. The biggest thing I detect is galbanum, all the way through. So in comparison to Dia, this is more green and vegetal. All of the Dusita perfumes are beautifully crafted and easy to wear. I am falling in love one by one.

julheart

What a beautiful fragrance. I saw a Luckyscent review that describes this as "a bouquet of tropical flowers that has grown up, moved to France, and taken up smoking and reading Baudelaire."
That hits it pretty well.
Starts white floral and green. But a strong rose comes in too. And then a whole bouquet of flowers. Rich and sensual, not too sweet. This is luscious and mature flowers. Not typical. Drying down there's smoke and musk and vanilla... I want to be wherever this magic came from. It gets dark and mysterious from that initial white floral high. There's an animal here, but still something clean all the way through to a woody musk bone. Fabulous.

LSAUG

This one starts off very green. The kind of green scent that you get on your hands while weeding the garden w/out gloves. As the fragrance develops it is a very strong floral, the magnolia is very dominate to my nose. Then as the dry down approaches it turns into white floral shower gel. I do not like shower gel fragrances but if you do and you want it to be a green floral give this a try.

Jacobean Lily

Snapped into wide-awake alertness by this galbanum-green and shimmering floral - perfect for this grey, dark, drizzly winter morning.
Minutes later the sharp green dissipates and florals fill my olfactory space with gorgeous, radiant, gauzy Madonna lily, rose and jasmine.
This is very, very beautiful and quite a thrill to wake up to, but around 2 hours in I'm detecting an emerging stink. It's animalic and faintly fecal; a barnyard whiff at odds with the floral beauty I've been enjoying.
It could be the ambergris, or perhaps there's some castoreum in there... whatever the case, it's as if a window has been flung open behind my magnificent floral centrepiece & the air is carrying the whiff of my neighbour's farm.
Interesting if floral-fecal is your desired perfume category.
EDIT: I’ve fallen in love and bought myself a bottle. Still not too keen on the dry-down but until then, exquisite…

Distillation:

Annabear

I really love this, in my mind’s fantasy Chanel’s Cristalle meets Diorissimo although there’s a green note there too.
If this performed better I would wear it all the time because it’s beautiful.

Violinplayah

Very pretty, feminine, easy to wear. I find a similarity to Dior New Look, though Lalita isn’t as iris-y and is more tart than softly sweet. It has something in common with Chanel No.19 as well. I may wear this to my brothers wedding, as it would be a perfect fragrance for a warm weather formal event.

forêt

I have just gotten an FB of this. It is a beautiful, grown-up white floral. I smell certain flowers- not sure which- mixed with a notion of stale cigarette smoke which makes this classier. In opposition to the reviewer below me I think this is very different than Douceur de Siam and Melodie de L'Amour. I believe L'Amour is gardenia-heavy and for that reason it was not for me. Siam is an abstract floral but not a white floral. I own that one. as well. The performance on this is really good and also for me only Siam dries down sour. I think this one is my favorite from the line although I would also love to have Oudh Infini! (I think- need to re-test.)

I just want to acknowledge that I was influenced by the Lucky Scent write-up of this one which is so perfect. But to me it DOES smell grown up and I DO sense some stale cigarette smoke in a good way. Also I have learned something about myself- that I love the smell of lily. This is a great lily scent. Another great one that took a different tack is Blondine by Frassai, which I hope to get one day.

dianaelz.1

as mentioned below this is a clear fresh floral (white). i can see the whole line from Dusita has a similar vibe.
very similar to each other are Fleur de Lalita, la douceur de siam and Melodie de l amour. if you own one of them then certainly you dont need all of them.
all of them have a sour touch.
lovely spring perfumes for a casual afternoon out.
7/10

spring / summer casual.

jazzfan

This is lovely.
If you like '60 and '70 green florals, this one should not be missed. Beauties like Chamade, Chant d'Aromes and Calèche come to mind. It has that understated, demure and lady like charm of the era when nice ladies still wore corsets every day and lowered their eyes and not just for kink. When the social expected behaviour is rigid, multitude of opposite ones bloom in shadow.
This flower opens cold and chaste to fade sensually. Well, it's a great way to go. The white flowers can go both ways and usually one of the two is chosen. This perfume can be a story of the personal and sexual discovery or liberation.
Or just a lovely white flower perfume.
Ms Umavijani has a unique approach to flowers. The facets underlined are not always the most gracious ones, but they are there nonetheless and with Ms Umavijani's help they shine. There is something very real and truthful about her creations. This just might be my favorite one. That might change because I continue discovering them every time I wear one of them, again and again.
Full bottles might be needed.

cocofluff

- This is gorgeous. Feminine. Sweet florals on a base on green galbanum. Smells like fresh floral soap. Sharpens as it dries, so watch out for that. I can definitely imagine myself wearing this one often. It's heady.

The very first time I sampled this one years ago I did not like it at all. My nose must have become more sophisticated because I love it now. Ambergris is prominent in the drydown which gives the scent an animalic flare.

My top three Dusita perfumes are Splendiris, La douceur de siam, and Fleur de Lalita. I'm recently also loving Issara.

Balushi

The opening of Fleur de Lalita is green floral, the main two notes I get are the heady jasmine and bitter galbanum then, the fragrance gets better as a beautiful magnolia note start appearing along with lily. It is mentioned that there are exotic flowers and I think champaca is a part of these exotic flowers. There is a beautiful musky ambrette note that comes along with the magnolia. The fragrance drydown to an ambergris base with a touch of creaminess and sweetness.

gtabasso

I disliked this at first because it was a sour white floral that smelled a bit off but then it got more and more like the real stamen of a flower and started to smooth out into lily and jasmine; not a sweet headache inducer but more like the liquid rung from a petal holding rain; this really is an Easter lily fragrance with jasmine supporting

larqui

Ok, if I were to have a ridiculously expensive traditional wedding, with a church ceremony, a huge marquee, a sugary tiered cake, a jazz band and hundreds of well-dressed guests, I'd wear Fleur de Lalita.

I can just see it when I spray this on my neck. White silk, garlands of flowers everywhere, flowers in my hands and in my hair, a veil over my naked fragranced shoulders and I walk over freshly cut grass lawn smelling fresh and lovely, and I look happy and innocent, a blushing bride in white...
...and only my husband and I know that I'm not wearing any underwear and that he went down on me just half an hour ago and that I'm still all languid and blissed out from that.
To me Fleur de Lalita smells like this. Gorgeous fresh sweetness and warm naughty musky bliss underneath. Not an office fragrance this one, save it for a happy day.

darimai

Such a truly beautiful, exotic and authentic scent.
Like a walk in an elegant garden in a beautiful family house in a dream like place in the tropics. So perfectly blended, fresh, dewy and creamy!
As someone who isn't a fan of grannish retro white flower perfumes, but I absolutely adore the scent of Hawaiian frangipani, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang this is such a dream come true for me.
The heavenly exotic bouquet of white flowers, the sexiness of Ylang Ylangg, the elegance of the rose... it all comes together in such an effortless blend of beautiful scents, naturally embracing each other in a beautiful garden.
The subtle notes of Sandalwood and vanilla are just what seals the deal for me. I feel like someone read my mind and took me to my happy place.
Pissara is so incredibly talented!

Bubbles1964

Fleur de Lalita is my favorite floral composition from Dusita.

Like the others in the line, this is a realistic, natural scent with Jasmine in the starring role. Overall performance trumps Melodie de L'Amour which vanished within 90 minutes and became a skin scent (usually not a big deal but it’s sold and priced as an extract.)

This is vanilla cream on a lush floral bed, easy to wear and simply intoxicating.

I saved one of the best for last, and cements my belief that Dusita does florals like no other.

Edit: this is my third Dusita purchase as of today (09.11.20).

assim.hayderi

A very nice floral scent and definitely not too sweet. It is marketed as unisex but to me it is very feminine unless you layer it with something oudy or woody like Dior leather oud.

Scent: 8.5/10

Kterhark

Writing the stinker perfume review is always challenging. You don't to offend its fans but you also have to be truthful.

So let's start with "The good": I like the opening. It has that 'Chamade' vibe with a modern twist and I could easily see myself taking Lalita to an raucous comedy show.

The bad: At the 2 hour mark, I move from the comedy show to third row seats at the rodeo. (I speak from experience on this one) It's at this point that the bull spins past, kicking up dirt and sweat and flecks of substance best left unmentioned in polite conversation. Long after the bull moves on the dust still lingers, settling on your hair and clothing. You spend the rest of the evening wondering who farted.

Lalita. That's who farted.

Woah! Too much for me. Too many white flowers and then sharp galbanum cutting through it all. The galbanum eases off thankfully and then the musk ambrette shows through. Now the sweet element appears. My word this quick and dramatically develops.
I actually love the green galbanum note but for a while it was too much in this. Once the sweetness comes through it becomes quite addictive. Lily, jasmine, magnolia, rose and ylang softened and merging into one another.
There is also a powdery aspect to this floral.
I could easily imagine some exotic tropical flower exuding this heavenly scent. Not a heavy mesmerizing scent like that of the datura or lily though.
It truly is quite heavenly. One for angels?! I don't say that about many florals if any!
Florals can easily be too much for me but not this beauty. It does not induce a headache.
I'm disappointed that it doesn't have near average sillage and longevity.
I'd love to put this on my want list but it's out of my price range. Do I think it is worth the mega bucks? Not really.

One of the most addicting beautiful creamy florals I’ve ever smelled. I love everything Dusita does.. ridiculously balanced and perfect in every way (well almost.. le silage blanc is a little to heavy on the suede and oud infini is stinky barn). I bought the small $65 dollar bottle of Fleur de Lalita and while the outside packaging is nice, I didn’t expect it to come in a metal travel spray bottle. I feel like if you’re going to spend that much on a tiny bit of liquid it would come in a nice mini glass bottle. Love minis, so cute. The serge ones are delightful to look at. I’m a sample girl, quite poor.. and this was my first bottle buy ... so was a little disappointed. That being said .. check out the new Jorum line .. you can buy the mini bottles with their nose/flowers logo for $40 from Scotland.. problem is the 20 dollar shipping but may be worth it if you buy a couple...lovely scents. And new to Luckyscent.

Looking at the notes this was suppose to be the favorite from the 5 i tried but it appeared to be least liked. Its has a bit outdated and vintagy vibe. As it drying down it smells much better, but no Wow factor here. I expected more. I love how it did change from the begging. It became softer and more floral. I can hear pretty Magnolia Just the begging is not good. It dries down to soft floral scent which i dont hate.

UPDATE: I tried this perfume again, several months later, in slightly warmer weather and while the opening still smells like a soapy rose...it smells a lot richer and nuanced compared to the last few times I smelled it. The vanilla, ambrette, and other sweet notes in the base come out and soften that laundry soap entrance, making this perfume a pleasurable wear for cool -- but not cold -- weather.

It smelled like a really pretty, delicate white floral perfume on tissue but when I actually wear it, it's laundry detergent powder. I had high hopes because of the glowing reviews, but unfortunately this doesn't work for me.

Dear Fleur De Lalita, We might have been great together ...If only you had stuck around.

At this price point perfumers might provide a product that not only smells fantastic, but that lasts longer than the car ride home. Dusita’s Fleur De Lalita is a glorious white floral fragrance laced with a soft musky ambrette that makes this almost like a yummy flowery gourmand. Fleur De Lalita is a dizzying feast of juicy magnolia and may rose dotted with Jasmine, ylang-ylang and some delicious exotic blooms. It is romantic, but on my skin, the magic didn’t last. The sillage, so beautiful in the beginning, faded to vaporous invisibility in less than an hour. If you can make this floral love potion last, you could rock Fluer de Lolita well into fall.

i have vintage Dune parfum, Dusita smells just like that but with more femininity to it :) can that be possible? yes it can! It has modern vibe, its still the thing of beauty not overly sweet not overly green or watery cold. It finds the perfect balance. I would encourage Dune lovers to test this one. Old Dune smells very masculine nowdays to me, too busy, this one has it all :) Simplicity with the same effect.

Whenever someone describes a perfume as smelling like a high-end florist shop, I rush to sample it. And, it seems, I'm always disappointed. Either the fragrance is too synthetic smelling or there's a nagging stale note that weighs the composition down.

But Fleur de Lalita is the real thing--a fresh, realistic, exquisite bouquet of lilies, roses, jasmine and magnolia blossoms. I'd say it's a little soapy, but only because it smells clean and luxurious like the soap at a five-star resort. It has an old-fashioned romantic vibe, particularly in the heady opening. Then the green notes rush in and it becomes a vibrant, confident, modern fragrance during the dry-down and for hours after. Definitely feminine.

Now I just have to decide whether to buy the travel spray or spring for the full bottle

Gorgeous white floral that is kept from being too cloying by the galbanum. I typically avoid super whites, but this is great, no headache. I have very dry skin so it has disappeared in 2 hours, I'll update this post if it reappears.

Ng..at first it's like a burst of flower but then it's smells like spices. Really not in to my skin. And it doesn't last long. I'm kinda disappointed bcoz it's pricey.

Super fresh & clean floral. So crisp and creamy musk - it's wonderful. Not a huge fan of florals but this one is just so unique and beautiful.

So happy that you're able to purchase travel size on the Dusita website.

Love love love!

This one is an absolute belter! as usual smells so natural due to the usage of natural tinctures and oils!

First Blast of powerful white flowers, especially white lily but blends so well with the other florals notes!

Pissara is known for making amazing florals scents so if your a fan of floral, this line is a must!

Well this is gorgeous. All the beautiful flowers are blended perfectly on the backbone of vanilla and sandalwood. It has an 'airiness' I like ,too, which ensures the flowers don't 'choke' the wearer. Suitable day or night during the warmer weather ,especially in romantic situations.

I would suggest this fragrance for a bride.

White floral fresh cut.

I can as well smell some light pinkish floral!The top of the line is the magnolia, lily, then comes the jasmines. It's a very white floral fresh bouquet. I detect within some red roses then a huge burst of ylang shows up after few minutes in (like 5). I don't really detect the tonka, or the ambergris but mostly it begins white foral bust, then settles in to roses, ylang, then white floral.

This one is quite flowery blend, very interesting for the ones who loves the jasmines, slight roses, and lilies. I personally see this as the lighter version of "Melodie de L'Amour" with that busting jasmines. Nice.

This definitely shares DNA with Douceur de Siam. From the name I expected a very feminine fragrance, so the biting wallop of galbanum and comparative lack of sweetness in the drydown surprised me. I like galbanum, but it really overpowers everything else here. I definitely recommend trying before you buy.

After having tested at least three other Dusita scents and although they were really special none of them was for me, - and now comes "Fleur de Lalita". This scent really positively overwhelmed me, so perfect it seems to my senses. The most wonderful, perfectly arranged white flower bouquet, not sweet but fresh, and really delicate.

After a while it turns into a white flower cream, again, not sweet or cloying - with a nice note of galbanum, but still super elegant and fresh. But, and that is the point for me, it's not a bridal scent in my opinion. In the base there is a very subtle but still very noticeable erotic vibe, really hard to describe. (My husband stated that he thinks it smells like white flowers in a very expensive, light-flooded house at the seaside, somewhere in the Carribean owned by a very elegant, yet natural sexy woman. =D )

I've been a perfume collector for many years and I probably have tested a thousand scents meanwhile and honestly, not many things can really suprise me anymore and I'm often sad, that most new arrivals all kind of smell the same, because they are owned by the same big corps or the ever same perfumers all went to the same perfumme school., and following the new trend, they almost all drown any creativity in those artificial crap notes like Ambroxan, Paradisone, Cashmeran, - which I smell immediatley and I really hate those notes. It's so boring and predictable meanwhile.

And what a breath of fresh air the Dusita scents are then, unconventional for sure, and the reason might be that the perfumer, Pissara, was especially not at one of those ever same perfume schools as I read today (and got mocked by the industry in the beginning for wanting to do her own thing) and instead really creates unique scents.

Melodie de'l Amour was not after my taste, it was special for sure but there was a note in it I couldn't bear, two others were special too but also not my taste, but Fleur de Lalita really is fantastic for my nose as it is a rich, fresh, creamy white flower scent (which I generally like) but not typical and conventional.

After testing this for a full week and totally falling in love I ordered the full bottle and am really happy to having found a new perfume for my collection after not having bought anything new in a year.

Looking forward to more new scents from Dusita and I hope Pissara remains on her unconventional course of creation!

Super-floral opening, bright and elegant white flowers. Lily and magnolia are the ones I perceive the most, and they are of a unique purity, just like jasmine. I really like it when it changes direction unexpectedly evolving in a dusty way with a light vanilla and tonka bean in the background, even if the white flowers are always of superior level keeping the strong initial glow always alive in this superb fragrance. I really like this parfum, it's like a kind of protection that envelops you and warms your heart with its unique wake.

A chic bouquet of fresh white flowers in the hands of a glowing bride walking down the isle. This is one of the most elegant white florals I've ever encountered. It is very well rounded, velvety and transparent at the same time, very feminine modern white floral with the prominent note of white lily. It is flowery from the top notes till the very base. At the base it gets a little sweeter and more powdery. Fleur de Lalita is a very long lasting fragrance with a good projection. A must try for everyone who likes white flowers in fragrances and especially for those who are getting married <3 :)

maintenant un fume somptueuse et indole de jasmin et lys: çe sont les deux protagonistes
régalement intoxifiantes. çe sont 'heureusiantes'. j'aime beaucoup cette nouveau coup de foudre pour un parfum de Dusita. l'ambregris est un force en milieu de mis-en-scène offrerent une palette rondeau et dense. un parfum superflorale [Fleur] de Lalita et quil'est encore une perle de Thailande dans les pièces haute joiallerie de Dusita. le moment le magnolia et le ylang présentait elles-mêmes est un moment crèmeuse et mouilleux. j'imaginer la rose est un force considerable supportive sous toutes les fort fleurs indole. j'aime les toutes parsque j'avait toujours adore les fleurs blanches. encore le sillage est belle, avec des 'enfleurages pointillantes', a priori les lys, ylang, jasmine, rose fine, l'ambre de la mer, 'le bois de santal' encore quatre heures après l'application initiale.

Fleur de Lalita is an absolutely stunning and joyful white floral, featuring lively jasmine and lily with a realistic botanical feel, with a fresh and dewy green naturalness to it, like the scent the flowers would give off while being watered. The galbanum is very present and is quite potent initially, giving the initial opening an almost chypre like feel, but Lalita quickly settles into more of a vibrant white floral but with a crispness rarely found without being headache inducing. I’m very sensitive to certain pungent white flowers, lily being at the top of the list, but somehow this is done in a way that is actually soothing to my senses instead of the usual piercing between my eyes that I normally get from similar notes. On paper, this sounds like a “no way” for me with all the jasmine, lily and magnolia, but somehow these notes magically harmonize and create a beautiful and realistic botanical white floral unlike most I have tried. Lalita settles into a slightly sweeter version after a couple of hours when gentle vanilla, clean musk and rose surface. After 3-4 hours the galbanum returns and lingers with the musky ambergris base for the remaining duration of the dry down. Fleur de Lalita is such a celebration of femininity, joy and optimism without going too “pink” or overly sweet. Fleur de Lalita is stunning and is proof we should never rule out any notes. Sometimes we just haven’t found the right combo or artistic touch to make it work for us. 5/5 for me.
