Lys Bleu Prince Henri Pierre d'Orléans 1980 Parfum

Very helpful Review
In the Sign of the Lily...
... and of the most famous French monarch, King Louis XIV, the Sun King, wars were fought under the Blue Banner with the Golden Lily, and "rebellious" or Protestant women were branded.
About 300 years later, a contender for the throne, Prince Henri Pierre d'Orleans, created a perfume in the sign and name of the lily that, once held in your hands and smelled, also leaves indelible traces.
The lily - a royal, sacred flower that makes a grand appearance in the Bible, the lilies of the field.
It often adorns coffins, is frequently tattooed on hard male backs and more or less delicate female bottoms, and even the esotericists have it in their program.
This introduction is well-deserved for this fragrance.
I wore it for days, trying to break it down into its components, attempting to categorize it - I was unsuccessful.
It is described as a floral chypre with woods, mosses, fruits, and berries. Wow!
A more fitting recipe came to my mind.
Take: Mitsouko, Champagne, Le Dix, Miss Dior, Nahema, Mystere, shake and stir well, season the whole with a splash of Aramis, Alliage, and Amouage gold, reduce the concentrated power a bit, refine it and sweeten it, toss in a few lily petals.... then you get a hint of Lys Bleu.
But just a hint - it is and remains an indescribable, royal fragrance in a majestic bottle, topped with a glass stopper in the shape of a lily.

Oh my goodness, when YOU write something like that... There's only one question left: Where can I get this miracle water?

I do like the scent of lilies, but unfortunately, those little beasts give me hay fever in real life. What you describe sounds really nice.
