Le Muguet

Le Muguet is a sweet scent, and sends out playful vibes. Le Muguet gives out the playful pheromone to do so. The newly scent of spring love creates a mood of romantic poetry, as though the wearer is being serenaded with words of romance from the smells released from the fragrance. The sent of freshly blossomed mountain flowers with a twist of spice and joyful, playful youth, means this is the perfume to wear if you feel in the mood for sunshine, romance and love.

Bought it today. Wore it for the first time today. In love with it forever: nature, nature, nature!

After the harsh green opening quickly fades into the background, Annick Goutal Le Muguet remains a true-to-life lily of the valley on me. And it's Oh So Lovely! The sweetness is delicate, yet its creamy, somewhat chalky texture renders a certain opacity to the fragrance. It wears like a light-weight velvet on the skin, with a hint of verdancy keeping the scent close to nature. Interestingly, I also occasionally get a soja milk note. Not what I'd expect in a soliflore, but I do find it very intriguing. The sillage is soft and the longevity is around 5 to 6 hours. Although I'd suggest against blind buying due to the sharp opening and the soja milk association, I'd definitely recommend it to those who are looking for a realistic lily of the valley soliflore.

This fragrance takes some time to settle into its real aroma. Initially it seemed very watery and all I could sense was the Lily-of-the-valley, but in a while the watery note went away, the berry note came through and the composition got a little more complex. Lilly-of-the-valley is without a doubt the dominant note still. Annick Goutal does indeed have her own style - the flower-based fragrances are very real and true to the actual flower, the aromas are simple, but seem natural. It is not always something I would wear daily, but I do appreciate the originality of her work!

Lilly of the Valley in a bottle ! One can experience pure, deep, unfettered, unadulterated, healthy, potent little blossoms-bursting out of every drop! The Benzoin is confusing, strange, chemical like, and even repulsive in the opening, but it quickly disolves without a trace and provides nice fixation for the Lily of The Valley. I could not sense any red berries. Perhaps the Red Berries are hidden in the perfume, just to cut the heavy airs of such strong Lily of the Valley and dizzying Benzoin.
