Elvie

Ethereal, Aquatic, floral with a woody dry-down, one of my favorite affordable fragrances, I alway get it on sale (for like 6-8 Euros) I keep repurchasing it for years and I always have a bottle. To be honest, I`m not sure if some people who write reviews on fragrantica actually know how specific herbs, resins or flowers smell in real life. Thanks to my friend, I have Lily of the valley growing on my balcony and garden and I`ve also been working with all sorts of essential oils and absolutes for years during schooling for fitotherapy and aromatherapy. This lily of the valley note, in this specific blend, has a really lovely depiction of lily of the valley, it is very close to the real flower I have growing here.keep in mind that real oil of this flower cannot be extracted, so it is doctrined to get something close to it. I find this to be very Aquatic, floral, ozonic, ephemeral and definitely Ethereal, (no fruity bang nor spicy nor sharp citrus notes. - I`m so glad there are no nose stinging citruses in this one nor those terrible fruity sweet notes !) This is affordable eau de toilette, so I did not expect it to have outstanding longevity nor sillage in the first place - on me it lasts about 2-3 hours max and sits very close to the skin, which is just fine for the price and if it is to be used as an everyday fragrance. It dries down softly woodsy-floral - perfect for my personal preference. Love this one for several reasons. main is : I REALLY dislike citruses and sweet fruits with white florals - I dislike both fruity-bang and citruses in perfumes in general, and I also dislike heavy, oriental, spicy, sharp, and sweet notes. I hate mixes of those too, and I hate anything oriental, sweet, or heavy. To be honest, sweet fruits, spices and citruses can totally ruin otherwise nice floral blend for me, and they are, unfortunately, often combined with white florals and esp. lily of the valley. ( for example, Lily of the valley eau de toilette, from Yves Rocher has lovely Lily of the Valley note, but those citrus notes in that one totally destroy the mysterious allure of this magical flower and give it such a sharp and sour tone. In Elvie, thankfully, I don`t smell ANY citrus notes, and I`m so thrilled by this fact that it has become a regular re-purchase for me.(I`m quite picky about what categories and notes I really like, so I have to mention that too). I already finished several bottles and I obviously really it. It lasts longer when I layer it over my diy lily oil perfume - this is something I often do, layer spritz-like bought perfumes over my diy lily oil-perfume, as Lily is one of my favourite and signature notes, so I also search for perfumes that can be used along with it. Elvie blends lovely when layered with clean lily, rose, jasmine and even ylang ylang (or simple white floral ones). I also love the glass phial, with recognizable pebbles-design and gem.like topper, it is very story-telling and unique and packaging (box) is also very fairy-like, especially new (2025.) one which has this whole artistic fantasy narrative to it, the whole box is painted, and now, elvie also has a fairy-like logo on the top of the box. I find this one to be another ephemeral, ethereal and floating in the ether - type of fragrance, and I really adore it. To be honest, unexpectedly, when layered the way I like it - it has become one of my favourite affordable re-purchases for the last several years, especially for summer months. Not long lasting, but such a beautiful ethereal gem, and extremely affordable when on sale.

when i bought it i just though it's a clean fresh scent , i know it's very feminine too , but i used it for the first time when i was leaving for a trip at evening , and God this smells so expensive tender sexy at night!i recommend it for a date or something , not just sunny hot mornings, violet and musk were too dominant then , so try this at morning to work or school and it well fit in , and try it at night to explore another unexpected whole new feminine level of it at NIGHT! ps. take the bottle with you any where cuz it's weak and never last :( ps. the real bottle is so cute and it has a very good quality , you will love looking at it every time , it's photo isn't okay here.

A composition that truly enchanted me. It had a difficult task, as I have an ambivalent relationship with lily of the valley: I adore the scent of the flower itself, yet in perfumery it often feels overwhelming. Elvie, however, interprets it beautifully. These are delicate floral perfumes with very good longevity and a sillage that leans toward the more noticeable side of moderate. The overall impression is deeply feminine, romantic, and idyllic—a fragrance of the ideal housewife, creating a warm and loving home.

This scent is pure as the water of a mountain spring. It suits the bottle so perfectly. I don't detect citruses, just delicate white flowers and a little mandarin and watermelon. It's not sweet as the usual floral fruity fragrances, in fact I would classify it as floral aquatic. It's pleasantly cooling in the warm days and I can perceive the scent for 4-5 hours. I think the uniqueness of this fragrance is in its rain-like purity.

The lazy Summer Days of 4th of July Children Lying on the tall green grass looking at the blue sky with with white clouds the smell of a food cooking in grills the water springling from it's sprinklers the sound the lawnmower cutting the grass the scent of Fresh linen though the breeze the flowers are in bloom and at night people sit and watch the Fireworks with all different Colors. i'm getting this Vibe.
