About Lilac:

'Lilas' or Lilac is a type of flowering woody plant that is a member of the olive family. These gorgeous flowers bloom in spring in Southeastern Europe and beyond and are notable for their stunning light purple colour but can also come in deeper hues of indigo, white, pink and even yellows. In the  Victorian practice of Floriography or the 'Language of Flowers', Lilacs symbolise youthful innocence and first love... particularity fitting given the softness of the flowers themselves and their gentle aroma.

The scent of Lilac is best described as a delicate powdery floral fragrance that has a sweetness yet green smell.
