Lucky me, our local department store had just one bottle left.
This is one of my favoriye fragarnce: fresh and elegant. Maybe it is really traditional, but not old-fashioned. I wonder why C&E replace this beautiful smell with new Lily. I really hope to have the old one back.
WHY OH WHY OH WHY has this heavenly scent been reformulated!! I better get a bottle before they're all snatched up.
I agree. The first version was an honest perfume built around lily of the valley, very simple but balanced. Even if I'm not fond of this flower, I bought the perfume.
Good quality recipes and good ingredients: that's what they should keep. Boycott the new! ;-)
I just tried the new version, what a disappointment! Why did C&E do this to a beautiful, pure, distinct and classic scent?
If I had to choose between the three main white florals for a fragrance ie. Gardenias, Jasmines or Lily of the Valley. I would choose the later. Something about its sharp crisp notes draws me in like a moth to a flame.
Like my review for Gardenias this bottle is like C&T found a way to turn the Lily of the Valley plant into liquid and put it in a bottle. This scent is more for Lily of the Valley lovers then perfume addicts.
They've changed it, and not in a good way. I was in my local Crabtree and Evelyn store yesterday in search of this (I wear it every spring) and discovered a new packaging and name. It's just called Lily now. I spritzed and was so disappointed. I mentioned to the SA that it was reformulated and she said "yes, isn't it lovely?" I hate reformulations, they're just like remakes of classic films, NEVER as good as the original.
I found Yardley's Lily of the Valley today, on sale. It's also a good rendition, but C & E's lily was magnificent.
i'm a may born baby and lily of the valley just happens to be the flower belonging to the month of may. i smelled this going into a C & E boutique and admit that they stayed as true to the flower scent as possible. very pure, soliflore scent. powerful sillage. a very beautiful floral green.
love this. a traditional lily of the valley perfume. they are one of my favorite flower scents, so this really does it for me.
This fragrance is the closest thing to the real flower as I have ever found. I can't honestly say I smell any of the other notes. It's lily of the valley all the way!
I bought the soap and put it into my dresser drawer to get make my clothes smell nice.
Ok it does smells very nice I purchased this on sale and I liked it. But it stays too close to my skin, so I returned it and got a much more fragrant scent Jessica McClintock Always and Forever. Sorry but the Crabtree and Evelyn silliage was just not enough to keep me.
Strong shimmering rose and jasmine water scent with a slight powdery'ness. Its strong even in the eau de toilette. It's not exactly green scent but definitely floral, fresh, and very classic european scent. It would be great for someone who likes floral fragrance with a little bit of old world edge.
This flower is my ultimate "happy" smell. It has some very specific, powerful associations and memories for me.
I also happen to adore floral perfumes - so this one is perfection for me.
It's a *very* pure lily of the valley scent, with a touch of sweetness without any indolic presence.
Good sillage, good staying power.
I try to sort of ration this one, simply because it impacts me so emotionally. When I need a comforting and/or uplifting scent, this is what I reach for.
If you like lily of the valley this one is a must-try.
In my experience, most of Crabtree & Evelyn's scents and lotions are delightful without artificial or plasticy accords. There are some terrific scents by this line.
No, this is not for me. I love lily of the valley as flower and fondly remember long afternoons in the forest behind our house, picking them before it was forbidden. But in a perfume? This shouts young and lovely, which I am not, and that's a real pity. You might say this perfume is too lovely for me.
After reading the good reviews, I might give it another try. Crabtree and Evelyn do produce lovely, under-stated everyday fragrances, but Lily of the Valley... well, others can't abide vanilla or musk or chypre, and I can't "do" lily of the valley.
If you like the pure lily of the valley scent, however, get this perfume. You feel as though you are sticking your nose into a beautiful bunch of flowers.
I bought this for my very old mother, before she moved into Frail Care. I will always associate it with her - one of her very favourite fragrances.
It's beautiful - fresh and VERY lily of the valley. If you love the flower and its scent, you will no doubt adore this!
Very tradditonal smell. If you like lilly of the valley u'll love this. Fresh and unique.Perfect for daytime, but not night time as too herby. Also fantastic for spring as it evocs memories of walking though beautiful flower laden gardens and flowers in bloom.
