Casablanca lilies are Oriental liles, and the fragrance is lighter and more ethereal, and accompanied by a distinct vanilla note and some spice. Casablanca in particular is famous for its breathy vanilla sweetness that's not heavy and overpowering like some lilies can be. I will be monitoring Luscious Cargo (and/or whoever else carries the AF line) closely until that one comes in! :-) Well, both are true lilies but the “white lily” (Madonna Lily) is extremely intense and heady with a distinct relationship to other heavy, indolic white flowers like jasmine and tuberose, though not quite as sweet, and it has a”foxy” tickle to it that they lack.

Do love Un Lys though. I am quite sure I could not tell the difference between a casablanca lily & a madonna lily in perfume — so you will have to tell me if the AF is any good!

True lily is my favorite scent but so hard to capture in a fragrance. The best one I know of is, of course, Serge Lutens Un Lys, but that is white lily (Madonna Lily), the only one commonly used in perfumery. I wonder if it is simply constructed to smell like Casablancas or if they are really in there! I can't wait to try it! :-) Wow, The 2 new Anticas sound good – especially Casablanca Lily if it REALLY smells that good! True lily is my favorite scent but so hard to capture in a fragrance.

I guess the Fresh people thought that if they called it Eau de Stoner no one would buy it? Hee! Cannabis Santal sounds … interesting.

Who knows. I know I didn't see those AFs in NY the last time I was there, but then, didn't look for them either ;-) Doubting I will love the new CA, but then, notes are so often misleading.

And I wonder if I already tried it in New York in midDecember. If I did, I obviously found it unmemorable ;D. I love Eau de Jade so much, but not the other Prives so much, so I'm curious about the new Cuir Amethsyte. Will I love it or will I not? Curious and wondering--that's me.

Although for all I know, that is an actual rose. I was hoping for something more purple-ish myself. Violet, maybe? But maybe there is something purple in the "floral notes". Either way we'll have to try it! And you forgot to mention crimson whisper rose! Although for all I know, that is an actual rose.

The juice doesn't sound too bad apart from green "snow" apple. What IS green cedar. Only yestreday I saw blue cedar among the notes of I think trouble. I should educate myself on the color specter of cedars, it is my favorrite note after all. Cannbis Santal, huh? Ok then. Cuir Amethyste...Firstly, Cuir Beluga anyone? Secondly, I am relieved because I though Amethyste woudl mean lilac, which I abhore. This sounds very promising! What an adorable bottle that new Lepore is!
