Description

In This World by LIIS opens with a vibrant and uplifting burst of blood orange, complemented by the fresh, aromatic clarity of eucalyptus. As it settles, a captivating heart emerges, blending the creamy sweetness of fig with the delicate floral notes of violet and lavender, creating a soft and subtly powdery accord. The fragrance then gracefully transitions into a warm and grounding dry down, featuring earthy sage and the comforting, vanilla-like sweetness of tonka bean, interwoven with subtle woody nuances. This scent evokes a lush, serene landscape, perfect for those who appreciate a fresh yet comforting aromatic experience. Perfumers: Jérôme Epinette, Leslie Hendin, and Alissa Sullivan

About LIIS

Liis is a niche fragrance brand founded in 2020 by Alissa Sullivan, trained at ISIPCA in Versailles, and Leslie Hendin, an artist and self-taught perfumer, who met in 2009 despite growing up near each other in Marin County, California. Their philosophy centers on minimalist, wearable scents that act as a 'second skin,' evoking personal emotions, memories, and stories through ethereal compositions open to individual interpretation. What sets Liis apart is its Californian ethos of conscious simplicity, high-quality blends, and storytelling fragrances like Rose Struck and Bo, designed for unisex daily wear without overpowering.
