    Sounds very gift worthy and non-offensive if not particularly interesting. I’m sure it will be nice.

      That’s one gorgeous bottle, at any rate. But doesn’t sound very exciting to me either. Who knows though, could be fabulous.

    I read the name as “Oily Ovation.”

      Better than “Oilily Ovulation”.

      Does anyone else feel like the pear note is picking up steam in perfum-land?

      LOL…neither of those sound as good.

      Don’t know if pear is getting trendier…seems like it’s been around for awhile? But maybe, I don’t tend to notice that sort of thing very quickly.

      I saw “oily invitation” when I was scrolling through. *shudder*

    I used to love their Orange Stripe back in the day. But now it’s so hard to find. Just as well–it probably wouldn’t be as good as I remembered it anyway.

    Lovely bottle, hate the name !
    Oh, why, WHY don’t they consult US before they name something?!

    The company itself has such an odd name– I always think “Oy, Lily!” when I pass their local storefront. . .

    The name is a little off to me. When I first read it, I thought ,”Oil-lily”. How do you pronounce it?

    I wonder when/where this is being released. I am so tempted to make an unsniffed purchase just for that bottle!

      All I know is November…my local Oilily shop seems to get new fragrances rather slowly, but next I’m at the mall I’ll see if it’s there.

    Pear and Freesia! UMMMM YUMMY! what a mouthwatering combo! add in some Precious Vanilla and Rose and i am ALL Aboard! TOOT TOOT! Sounds Pretty and Feminine if not earth shattering, but then again, Pretty need only be pretty for me!

    Darn it. From that bottle I was hoping for carnation :-(

    Love the bottle! Though I probably won’t be able to pronounce the name of the brand when I ask the SA about this one LOL :)

      Near me, the line is only sold in their own boutiques…don’t know how it is distributed elsewhere.

    Drooling over lovely bottle :P Wonder if it’s as pretty or better in person? Definitely not a fan of the name :(

      Yeah, sometimes they’re gorgeous in pictures but not so wonderful when you show up.
