Lily of the Valley and Flower Meadow
Lily of the Valley is quite a controversial fragrance note here. There was even a recent forum discussion about it. I clearly confess to being a fan of Lily of the Valley! Therefore, I have a whole battery of perfumes focusing on Lily of the Valley.
With "Lily of the Valley" by Yardley, however, you do not get a pure soliflore! If you are looking for "pure Lily of the Valley," I refer you to the perfume by Yves Rocher. Also, "Diorissimo" and "Lily of the Valley" by Penhaligon are more purist. Here, however, the Lily of the Valley is accompanied by "floral-green" fragrance notes that remind one of a freshly mown flower meadow or the scent aura of a flower shop. I have already encountered them in other perfumes from the Yardley brand, e.g., "Peony."
The longevity is unfortunately only moderate, but you can get a 125ml bottle online for little money - so plan on reapplying!

But beware! There is now a newer version from 2015, which is also listed separately here - and according to painful experiences from TIA1971, it apparently smells completely different. If you are looking for the version described here, you should pay attention to the green label, just like in the photos from Friedaherz and EvaK!. In the new version, the name is directly on the glass. Apparently, no perfume is safe from reformulations...

Lily of the Valley from England
Thank goodness, we now have an English shop in the shopping center
and every now and then I get new inspirations there.... for scents still
unknown to me.

And I jumped at the chance because it’s May and that’s why I’m buying a lily of the valley fragrance. Well, it’s actually not that bad.
I have a slightly grassy lily of the valley scent in my nose.
And I can’t complain about the really low price
for 100ml snagged for under a tenner.
Nice!!!

Lily of the valley accompanied by crisp fresh green and other friendly blooms. A lovely interpretation of a spring flower meadow.

Creamy green floral soap that doesn't need to hide behind the big lily of the valley classics. Beautiful!

Fresh green spring meadow full of lily of the valley. Amber sparkles in the grass under the sun and provides warmth. :)

Lily of the valley sits in the morning dew on the fresh green meadow surrounded by a sea of different petals.

Fresh green flower meadow in the morning dew, a delicate spring and autumn scent that's not often found.

Attention! I’ve probably become a reformulation victim. Just started a new bottle, it’s not comparable to last year’s!
