LILY OF THE VALLEY | Limited Return Eau de Parfum

$72.00 USD

 

Muguet, May Bells, Our Mother's Tears; no matter the epithet, the perfume of this familiar woodland flower's scalloped bells is said to help relieve depression, ease distrust, and restore a sense of childlike wonderment. 

More than just a fragrance, this eau de parfum was crafted as a charm to provide a sense of security; an olfactory window onto a time and place nested deep within the secret heart of whoever beholds it. 

Lily of the Valley is a timeless perfume that mimics the sensory embrace of May bells swaying on the warming breeze—a nod to the flower's vintage heritage that looks optimistically toward the future in bloom. In comparison to the weighted, indolic veil of our Eau de Lilas, Lily of the Valley is a classic soliflore of the same name, pacifying and clean, trembling with the vibrational pulse of romantic folly.

Notes: lemon meringue, fresh cream, and the promises of May; the tickle of new grass underfoot and pollen-freckled noses; trembling calfs’ legs and coltsfoot—cheerful bursts of dewy green facets and lemony overtones bring a youthful expression to an otherwise lactonic, vanilla floral body.

Featured Botanicals—or, how the magic happens: vanilla bean, mimosa, rose absolute, jasmine absolute, ylang ylang, ambrette, and hexanol 3-cis–a natural isolate from mint with a robust green note. 

Ingredients: Alcohol (Cane Sugar, Organic), Fragrance/Parfum (Essential Oils, Absolutes, CO2s, Natural Isolates, and Plant Extracts)

This perfume is considered a fantasy floral to mimic the scent of Lily of the Valley and only contains Convallaria majalid (Lily of the Valley) by means of an energetic imprint.

This small-batch artisanal fragrance is composed in part of seasonally-sourced raw materials. Once they're gone, they cannot be reissued until next year's thaw prepares the ground anew. Variations in scent from previous editions are celebrated. Wildcrafted in Tiohtiá:ke/Montréal.

All vanilly no lily

Lily of the valley is one of my very favourite smells, so I was really hoping that this would capture its essence (not literally - I did read the ingredients!).

Sadly, the fresh, green floral I was hoping for is very weighed down by the vanilla and amberette, which I find extremely cloying and honestly nauseating.

At first spray I could smell a fresher, greener top note that did mimic LOTV, but after only a couple of minutes I am left with a wrist that smells part powdery part gourmand, and neither are carrying the LOTV which is sadly completely lost in the heavier sweetness.

Hugely disappointed as I wasn’t able to order a sample and paid for a whole bottle only to find that there is actually no lily of the valley on offer here.

I’m assuming that last year’s batch incorporated real LOTV because I remember a warning about the natural toxins. Very sad that this year’s batch is all vanilly no lily!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!  We're truly sorry to hear that this scent didn’t live up to your expectations, especially given how much you love lily of the valley. We just wanted to clarify that the formula remains the same as in previous years. Due to the toxicity of true lily of the valley, we have always worked with a carefully crafted fantasy floral accord and a very small amount of enfleurage to evoke the spirit of the flower.

As you likely know, fragrance can be highly subjective and reacts differently on each person's skin. We completely understand how disappointing it can be to commit to a full bottle without the chance to sample first. If you’d like to explore a different scent, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at info@lvnea.com - we’d love to help you find something better suited to your preferences, and we’d be happy to offer a replacement scent on us.

Delightful

It's hard to capture the delicate scent of Lily of the Valley, but this perfume does an excellent job of recreating it closely.
Obviously a very floral scent if that's not your thing.

Wonderful on the skin

I love how this smells on the skin! Once it reacts with your skin PH it definitely smells of lily of the valley, though in the bottle it smells almost like roses so I was a bit nervous. 100% in love
