Lily of the Valley

This flower is my ultimate "happy" smell. It has some very specific, powerful associations and memories for me. I also happen to adore floral perfumes - so this one is perfection for me. It's a *very* pure lily of the valley scent, with a touch of sweetness without any indolic presence. Good sillage, good staying power. I try to sort of ration this one, simply because it impacts me so emotionally. When I need a comforting and/or uplifting scent, this is what I reach for. If you like lily of the valley this one is a must-try. In my experience, most of Crabtree & Evelyn's scents and lotions are delightful without artificial or plasticy accords. There are some terrific scents by this line.

Omg what a juicy Lilly of the valley scent. Like you're smelling the flower. The essence is there 100%. Absolute love! Lilly of the valley blended with rose and citrus, peach to mellow it out. Moderate silage and longevity. Obviously not in production anymore, so purchased overpriced online, however worth it. This is true C&E scent, original flower of choice display, in this case LotV. I see comparison with Jessica McClintock (more of grown up and complex scent). This is a pure spring in the bottle, versatile and Happy scent :)

If I could get my hands on another bottle of Crabtree and Evelyn Lily of the Valley I would be very pleased. Such a lovely fragrance, very floral with nice longevity (about 6 hours), feminine and little bit bold. When I didn't know what to wear, I would reach for my bottle of Lily of the Valley. Great for the office and weekend activities and casual get togethers on summer evenings, particularly in Canada when the sun doesn't set until around 10 pm. Nothing spectacular but really very nice.

Very true scent, just like the ones in my garden! It was also my mother's signature scent for many years, so I will always love it, though I can't seem to pull it off myself.

I just tried the new version, what a disappointment! Why did C&E do this to a beautiful, pure, distinct and classic scent?
