Crown Alpine Lily Crown Perfumery 1879

There are indeed still reviews of Crown's "Alpine Lily"! Since it is almost impossible to get hold of remaining stocks of this unique fragrance, it feels almost like a sadistic endeavor to continue to pay homage to this scent here - but it deserves it. A few years ago, I ordered one of the last bottles from a renowned perfumery on a whim, solely based on the fragrance description. I have not regretted it; this scent has accompanied me through some of the hottest summers and provided me with refreshment where other "summer perfumes" melted into the sweat of their wearers. I often heard the compliment: How wonderful, such a fresh scent in this weather! Perhaps that is the first thing one notices about this fragrance: the freshness, a certain coolness like from a mountain spring, a bit green, maybe grass, then a very delicate lily in the shade of a summer day. A simple, "innocent" scent that often reminds me of the smell of a child. Yes, it has something childlike, something that moves and touches me, especially now that it is facing extinction.
