I am neither a Lily of the Valley or Freesia fan, so what could have inspired me to purchase this bottle quite eludes me.
That being said, I don't mind this fragrance. I have memories of Yardley being held in high esteem for their bath and body products in the 90s, but not so much since then. This was the only one from their modernized line I felt seemed the least messed with, and I'm kind of glad. It's a nice little bit of nostalgia. The floral powdery soapiness is something I associate with all the fancy bath products I was never allowed to touch as a kid.
I have no experience with the original formula, but seeing as I generally find LoTV too intense ( Diorissimo (2009) Eau de Toilette , oof!), I consider this an acceptable addition to my collection just to give it some variety.
