Sleeping on the Roof

Purchased the discovery set after years of waiting to try “Sleeping on the Roof”. Being a green, white floral lover I expected to love this scent , and I do! I’m not sure why the votes are so low , could it be that its longevity is questionable ? Whatever the reason, for me, this is the best predominately LOTV fragrance and despite the price , one day I hope to buy a bottle . My favourite perfume in my twenties was Diorissimo by Dior and that set in motion my love for LOTV scents . Fast forward two years ago when I started on my fragrance journey , I realised I’m not that taken with LOTV as a soliflore. Too green and sharp . I have given away Penhaligon’s and Floris’ LOTV perfumes for this reasons . I currently own Etat Libre D’Orage’s - . Another fleeting fragrance but so beautiful with a sweet , marshmallow LOTV. Sleeping on the roof is greener , not harsh , warmer, and creamier on my skin . A touch powdery . I sprayed it on myself last night as I went to bed . In my dreams I could hear myself comment on the outstanding smell that was enveloping me . I wasn’t sleeping on the roof but I could experience the captivating , white floral journey it personified . It’s a love from me ! 💓💓💓💓

I absolutely LOVE this. LOTV is one of my "forever" florals. I go through phases with most others. I've owned many, hated many and loved few lily of the valley scents. I was surprised when I got this sample, I thought I would get more orange blossom but this comes off as a soliflore. Like many others have commented, this is LOTV done RIGHT! It's clean, it's soft. It's not waxy, suffocating or dated. I've bought 7 samples from this house so far and I have to say, they absolutely fit the vibe they've presented. They're soft, delicate but noticeable - so says hubby. I own Miu Miu and disagree on the similarity. Miu Miu has quite a bit of pepper and woods and feels a little more... jagged. It is much more close to Dior Lucky but not dupes for each other. If you like LOTV, give this a try! Even if you don't, give it a try. It's an easy wear with wonderful performance. I did try to wear in 10 degree weather 2 days ago and it felt very out of place. It was 70 here today (scary) and it was so lovely.

Love at first sniff, and thankfully it stays just as beautiful once it hits the skin. This opens very green and floral with an earthy grounding quality, and there’s something about it that reminds me of banana leaves or fresh greenery. It honestly smells like attending a wedding held in a garden, where the air is filled with flowers and green arrangements rather than heavy perfume. It feels natural, soft, and quietly elegant. The sillage isn’t strong, and part of me wishes it had a bit more punch, but I think its beauty really lies in its delicacy. The performance is actually better than expected for something so airy, staying close to the skin and becoming an intimate scent you enjoy mostly for yourself. I kept catching gentle whiffs of it throughout the day, and it genuinely made me feel calm and happy. It evokes springtime, lying on grass, walking through a garden - a very personal and immersive experience.

I was gifted this.. Wasn't thrilled on it at first.. I was putting my outfit idea together for a breezy outdoor Napa Valley wedding.. Went perfectly with my minimal, ethereal look.. my signature French gal updo, blue silk dress, Brother Vellies pony haired cowboy boots, simple diamond earrings, a splash of blush .. Sleeping On The Roof was the perfect call. All throughout the day I kept getting nice hits of the herbal, delicate floral dewiness, then it would (veryyyy quickly) fade into a musky skin scent. Definitely had to keep re-applying throughout the night and probably used half of the bottle.

After smelling nearly all that Harrods had to offer on a recent trip, I was looking for something new, something that would grab me. This was it! I tried nearly all of the collection and this really jumped out to me. It transported me to a beautiful garden in the middle of summer just as the sun passes over the horizon, the flowers that have been soaked in sun all day get ready for bed, creating this warm, slightly creamy but green fragrance that leaves you feeling relaxed and sleepy. I love this, I guess some people don't like lily of the valley, but if you do, go for this!

An amazing white floral scent. The lily of the valley does kind of overpower everything else, but it's so good I'm not even mad about it. It's also pretty sweet, which may come from the orange blossom, but I'm not sure. Someone told me it reminded them of a retired bath and body works scent from the late 90s called May Bouquet. Lasts for a good amount of time (4hrs or so), radiates 4-6ft (so you'll get plenty of compliments on it), and is the perfect scent for a spring or summer day.

I’ve never seen this brand in person, but the packaging and bottle look beautiful in the photos. This is a safe, lovely Lily of the valley fragrance, with average performance. My favorite part was the opening— as it is with most perfumes—green, dewy and easy to wear, but not to the point of making me want to own it.

Big, tropical white florals. The lily of the valley is beautifully done... soft and dewy, like petals on a humid summer night. The scent is slightly sweet, lightly musky, and rounded out with a touch of amber. This is exactly how I imagine the White Lotus hotels would smell.

A perfect blending if two flowers to create a third one that as mentioned previously - lilac. I think this is both warm and refreshing and would be a great layering fragrance for a sweeter fragrance. This is dewy, sweet and rich with a green base. Nice for spring or summer.

Got a sample of this and it is so so so delightful. Fresh, clean white florals. Unfortunately, it fades really quickly - may just be the sample in my case, but if the real full size fragrance lasts this short a time, it'd be a tragedy. It's really beautiful.

Green white floral with musky undertone just to soften the greenness.. feminine and beautiful, I don't need everything to be bold and have monsters Projection,sometimes simplicity is enough to make me feel beautiful and elegant

Very beautiful, soothing blend of florals. I get a whiff of slight tea aroma as well. So calming and zen, like stargazing on the rooftop, while feeling the gentle breeze of the night carrying the faint scent of distant flowers.

It opened with a blast of lily of the valley and then orange blossom shouted out. It is a nice and comforting scent. I can smell it within arm's length when I first sprayed it but it soon became a skin scent.

I think it’s quite feminine. A very flowery one which Lilly of the valley is popping out. It’s a nice summer perfume.

It smells like real blooming linden tree :) I love it ! 😍

This scent is breezy whitish soft and clean❤️❤️

Lily of the Valley is such a difficult note, especially when it is the main note. There are only 3 I can think of off the top of my head that I really love, and one of those has more going on than primarily lotv. That would be Eldo Don't Get Me Wrong/Yes I Do. The other two are the queen Diorissimo, and as I just recently discovered, Dior Lucky. This is true to the scent of lotv, but leans more towards it's floralcy rather than it's greeness. That's not to say it's completely missing. It's very much part of the entire scent profile of lotv. In this instance, it just comes off more fresh than green, and I enjoy it very much. For all intents and purposes, it's a Soliflore. The orange blossom doesn't stand out particularly. I think it just intensify the floral aspect of the lotv. The musk adds the slightest touch of fluffiness. It's very clean - not animalic or sensuous in the least. I can't detect any amber, so I assume it's just quietly doing it's job grounding the fragrance. I have a Floraïku discovery scent, and this is the first I've tried. It's a definite strong like, but that may turn to love. I'd be happy to find one from the collection that I love enough to purchase a full bottle, because the quality is there, plus the bottles are very beautiful. There are many left to try, so I can't sat whether or not this would be the one. I will say it's a must try for lovers of muguet!!

Sleeping on the Roof. On first spray, the Lily is really strong, almost singular as the only note i could detect. Few minutes later and it diminishes, but only slightly, as the lily of the valley is the feature presentation in this one. Along comes a little mix of musk, for me it seems like its a little dirty, not skanky musk, but a dirty musk, dust or aged like. The amber is almost non existent, i really had to search, and i THINK i may have detected it, but i honestly cannot say for sure. I agree with others, this really does sit on the feminine’s side of the fence, the LOTV firmly pushes the scent this way, and for most id imagine this is the one thing that swings it for them. Is it good? Well yes, it is good. Would i buy it? Perhaps not, only because there are other scents in the Floraiku range im MUCH rather buy, and that lily isnt my favourite of the florals. Blind buy? If you love Lily of the Valley, this is one for you. If not, then you really need to test it first. Does it smell like Diorissimo? Yes, very much so, diorissimo was the epitome of lily, and floraiku has jumped on that bandwaggon full steam

A very thick in-your-face floral. I don't mean that it necessarily fills entire rooms, I mean it literally feels like an enormous flower with fantasy-sized proportions is put right in front of me. The floral note, while not loud in projection, is very bold in showing what it is when noticed within arm's length. The floral aspect is also sharp, clean, and airy. The musks in the base are immediately present to make the opening have more dimension, and a while later, I can notice the amber adds a nice warmth to the fragrance, complementing the clean, almost cold, sharpness of the florals and the white musks to create a yin yang of opposite but balancing notes. As a guy who wears mostly unisex scents, this fragrance is just a bit too feminine for me to wear comfortably going out but it's a very enjoyable scent, especially in the Springtime. I only have a sample of course, but as usual for Floraiku, gorgeous bottle design, one of my favorites from the house, the deep red contrasted by the light blue-greens.

This perfume is an ode to the lily of the valley. From its pure form, it quickly transforms into a different shade – a true muguet that fills the air during a warm night in late May. It’s a darker shade of floral, more muskier, more linfatic. It’s dewey, wet and green. A quarter of an hour in, the orange blossoms oil comes through, not overpowering the lily of the valley but rather bringing out its fresher side. All the elements of the perfume are combined to elevate the muguet, which is at all times the main (possibly only) note. It has a good longevity, and when it dries down the muskier side of the lily of the valley emerges. It’s a subtle perfume without much sillage. I haven’t smelled anything like this before, except the plant itself in real life. I think it does a great job at recreating the scenario I mentioned earlier. It’s beautiful, but it’s not a scent I would want to wear.
