Muguet du Bonheur by Caron

JuliofromRio

Gone are the days when Caron offered us real perfume. What they have in the market now are pale imitations of the extracts they had in the 50´s and 60´s. Muguet du Bonheur is a typical example. Its up-dated version is so weak and so inexpressive, it makes me cry. I hope and pray that someday the old , original smells will come back so that all of us Caron´s users do not feel cheated and start wearing those wonderful perfumes again. Please, Caron, bring them back. The real thing, not these insipid new versions! The old ones had strength, class and a true personality!

We want the genuine MUGUET DU BONHEUR !

I know how Lily-of-the-Valley smells, but I almost don't feel it in this fragrance. For me it smells more like a little bit sweet and light heliotrope scent. I am disappointed.

Today on May 1st, I received my "Muguet du Bonheur" and it could not have picked a better day to show up on my doorstep!
As far as I know, it is custom in France to presenting each other with a bouquet of muguets (lily of the valley) as some sort of "good luck" token on May 1st.

"Muguet du Bonheur" starts up fresh right away with the lily of the valley and a hint of green following close up. As soon as the scent warms up, it settles softly and graciously on your skin; the lily of the valley still there, but very well behaved.
It is truly a gentle, beautiful spring fragrance; soft spoken and clean, but by no means boring.

I was very much surprised to find out, that "Muguet du Bonheur" was released in 1999. It could have been one of the old classics released in the 40is or 50is.

This fragrance is perfect for the woman who loves gentle, soft and clean fragrances. She is one with nature and does not mind spending some time alone – alone but "one-with-all".

If you remove the citrus peel from Penhaligon's Lily of the Valley, you get something like Caron's Muguet de Bonheur--which is what I love about it. Solifleurs are not everyone's cup of tea, but the world needs one for poor lily of the valley which has been used so often in soaps and detergents that it may seem to some that that's all it offers. MDB is sweet, fresh and powdery without being too light. In the drydown you still have the lily, but warm and yeasty, like the lily has been secreted away inside your bra all day. Mmmmm...

Unfortunately all of Caron perfumes are not listed in the site and I'm happy to find this one here!this is absolutely a spring perfume.the composition is not complicated,but sweet and lovely."Muguet" in french means "Lily Of the Valley".it indicate the tradition of giving and receiving a muguet in the first day of May.it's better that the original perfume made in 1954.it's softer and more transparent.the bottle is nicer.just reminds me Dolce Vita.
so don't forget to put this fragrance at the 1st day of may!
