Lily Of The Valley Contemporary Edition

One of my best cheap treasures ever! I don't know the original version of this perfume and cannot compare the two. In its simplicity the scent represent this exact season; April, the rain and the lily-of-the-valley, which will soon start blooming in the gardens around where I live. The opening is a floral blast of lily-of-the-valley, but as the scent starts settling, the pear appears as well. The dry down gives the soapy and clean feeling, which is pleasant and not overpowering. Surprisingly, it lasts longer than I've expected; 3 hours and counting. Great find!

Speaking to the Amazon box with the 250 Years on it. This does smell like the little bells that I had growing outside my door when I was highlander. I actually love this rendition. I also love Guerlain Mugeut, which is glorious. I get straight up LOTV in both. If you are looking for a budget friendly one, this is my pick. The price is right!

Kuumba Made's LOTV is still the best IMHO. But...this is quite pleasant. Oldschool? ABSOLUTELY. Don't let the term "contemporary" lead you astray; this might be a relaunch, but it still has a decidedly classic perfume nature. It's nearly a soliflore. I don't get any pear in here at all, but it kind of smells like it contains a sweet orange? It throws me off. At any rate, it has a dash of musk. Ultimately, quite soapy (but LOTV makes me think of soap), and quite obvious LOTV. It cannot be mistaken for another floral in my mind, so Yardley accomplishes that mission here. Spring-like, floral, and as clean as the driven rain. 🌧

Lily of the Valley by YARDLEY is a wonderful green & clean Lily of the Valley-fragrance. Smells very natural, crisp and pleasant. To me they a simple, comfortable, casual yet classy scent. I get compliments of smelling like the spring when im wearing this parfume Im a big fan of English parfume, and English period dramas, and Yardleys parfumes pretty much sums that up. I think i ́m gonna have a collection of Yardley parfumes.

If you like the scent of Lily of the Valleys you'll like this perfume. To me, it smells exactly like the flower itself and it lasts longer than for example Yardley's April Violets or English Rose on me. It's very, very flowery and a little bit to much if you easily get headaches or migraines. I wouldn't wear it at work. But perfect for a garden party outdoors, or a dinner on a summer evening.
