What does Lily of the Valley smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant, Italian bergamot and grapefruit, a citrusy, lightly fruity freshness. In the heart, lily of the valley leads, with geranium, jasmine, magnolia and petitgrain adding a green, creamy floral feel. Cedarwood and musk soften the base, leaving a sweetish, synthetic-clean finish.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters point to daily wear, then leisure and the office; few choose it for a night out. It reads equally comfortable on men and women, and stays light throughout. Loewe Aire Sutileza and Carner Bo-Bo (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
