What does Lily of the Valley smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Few people have voted, so this impression is not definitive.

The floral side leads with lily of the valley, jasmine, neroli and orange blossom absolute, while bergamot and blackcurrant bud add a green freshness. Vanilla absolute and sandalwood sweeten and soften it, and leather, labdanum and bourbon vetiver leave a woody, leathery depth in the background. Giorgio Armani Armani Privé Jasmin Kusamono and Chloé Chêne have a close profile.
