Naturalistic old style Guerlain

A bouquet of fresh lily-of-the-valley. That's it. Crystal clear, transparent, pure, a little bit greenish.

But thats's not to be underestimated, the flower is very complicated to imitate. Most of lily-of-the-valley perfumes feel synthetic, industrial, too strong, not realistic. This one does not, Jean-Paul Guerlain is a master perfumer, you can feel it. It is saddening how AA line quality dropped in 20 years. I wish they brought back the old ones, like this one, Gentiana, Rosa Magnifica, Flora Nerolia... at least for boutique line.

I am extremely angry with Guerlain for this, the idea of the line if perfect to market it every year as they do... But it does not mean you should make them so mediocre, Guerlain please get a grip.

like May in August

August didn't seem to be August, not this year.
Not these days, these weeks.
He made the sky grey, browned the trees before time, lengthened the sleeves and rolled down the trouser legs to the ankles.
He called himself August by the calendar, but it seemed as if he had been wrong, as if I had been wrong, as if I had fallen into a wormhole in the night, somehow, sleepwalking perhaps, in my dream, and woke up again in October, shivering, disoriented, confused.

It may be due to confusion, disorientation, that I reached for "Lilia Bella" that first morning, still ignorant of what was in that pink tube.
Semi-blind was the grip on the shelf, on the overflowing, in which carnation teases itself with incense, roses bloom next to cold ashes, Neroli leans against Amber's strong shoulders.
A constant coming reigns there and a going, seldom stands in place what I once placed there.
Rosa it is.
These could be roses and sharp thorns, dark wood and grass and baby powder too.
Half-blind the handle, half-blind also the spray.

May.
Green.
Bright.
Blue-grey silver, the sun warm on winter pale skin.
Bells, white and blue and green.
Lancet leaves, like wild garlic, rich in toxins.
Wild meadows, speckled with colours, damp.
Streams ripple close to the edge of the forest, the young trees leafy in black and white.
Lemon cream cake, fluffy, foamy, light.
The soul, it seems, is dieting, floating weightlessly and freely.
Girls' dress, sky blue, vanilla yellow, grass green.
Lots of green, lots of white, lots of blue blue.
Hope blue, freedom blue, awakening blue on life green and innocent white.
Spring makes a fragrant ribbon, not just the blue one.

Young is "Lilia Bella", carefree and hopeful.
Very green, very white, very blue - and very loud with a sprayer only too much.
Then she wraps herself around my forehead and presses on my stomach.
But with a sprayer only she is tolerable, confidential, friendly, feminine.
She lets the sun shine through the thickest cloud bank, lifts my mouth corners and curls fine wrinkles around my pair of eyes.
Again and again, many days again.
Until I came back from October, came back in August, the heaty-golden one who throws his rays at my feet, who knows no bells.
Until the finger lowers - once again, once only it will be May today in August.

Modest and romantic

Lilia Bella is modest, feminine, very romantic, and old-fashioned.

It begins with a strong focus on the lily-of-the-valley (muguet). But as the fragrance progresses, lilac emerges. And still later, a soft, nostalgic rose and jasmine accord.
