Lily, where are you?
I can already call myself a "Lily of the valley fan"; and I admit: I love them, the brave little guys who liven up every spring like this.
And just as I like their spring-like, virginal freshness, I like them in the state of their first slight decay: when they become slightly "stinky".
Which, by the way, also applies to jasmine: youthful freshness is enchanting - mature is tempting!
So I was very curious what the house Floris, which I was allowed to get to know up to now as a noble fragrance manufacturer, conjured out of these two white bloomers.
But, oh, dear! Both - lily of the valley and jasmine - had lost themselves in the wide valley of leafy and meadow green.
A fine, but for me a bit too "lemony" entrance awaits me. Yes, fine is right!
But where are the lilies of the valley now? Where's Jasmine hiding?
Even rose and tuberose, otherwise not shy, are just a touch.
Slowly I am coming to the conclusion that I am dancing on a wrong wedding or that I don't have the right skin.
It takes almost half an hour until my two so beloved white friends show up:
Their visit is short, very short - what a pity!
Musk saunters by and... that's it!
I'm disappointed! Floris disappointed me with "Lily of the Valley"! It's actually just a hint of an eau de cologne that's rubbing off on me here.
Springlike freshness? Yes, a little green, a little lemon But otherwise I only encounter shy restraint.
I don't expect much from a "little scent", that's well known: but a little more than a light nothing after all.
Too bad, too bad!
Once again, I am disappointed! Maybe also because I was able to discover two wonderful new lily-of-the-valley and jasmine scents within the last time, which inspire me.
Did I start testing with too high expectations?
I don't know!
For me, that Lily was really lost in the valley.
