Un Matin au Jardin - Muguet en Fleurs

Lily of the Valley

Yves Rocher 2013

Don't forget that a quick sniff from a perfume bottle can determine your mood for the next hours. If you're a sucker for spring-fragrances, give "Muguet en fleurs" a try. This simple soliflore is guaranteed to put a smile on your face (provided you like lily-of-the-valley). This pretty floral scent takes me back to a joyful day in spring... with lily-of-the-valley in full bloom, of course.
Lasting power is poor, but given the low price, I won't complain. The best scent from the "Un Martin au Jardin" range so far.

You can't go wrong with YR's Muguet en Fleurs if you like lily of the valley. For me, it was a beginner's scent as it goes for the note, since I couldn't tolerate it for years. I've started loving lily of the valley pretty much with this simple yet successful EDT which I also recommend to anyone who likes non-sweet, green, fresh florals.

That's pretty much a soliflore scent truly value for the money. Longevity and sillage is justs as what's supposed to be (more than a cologne but less than an EDT) since the gist of Muguet is lightness and spring.

For weeks, my husband and I have been coughing at each other - which is extremely exhausting.

Dear visitors are canceled just in case, as we do not want to spread our viruses further.
Otherwise, it's all about hunkering down at home.

Not very fruitful - and a free diet cure to boot.

Lazily, I reach into the Rocher bag, which contains birthday offers.

Oh - Lily of the Valley?
My husband threw it in the bag because he likes lily of the valley, and the illustration on the little box is just too tempting.

I spray cautiously, as lily of the valley is not always pleasant for me.
Often, a musty, rotten undertone ruins the enjoyment.

But - whoa - this lily of the valley is green-white and garden-fresh.
The juicy stems spread green freshness, and the white bells chime ever so sweetly.
May they summon the warm May.

But in such a positive mood, I slip into the faux fur, pull on my beanie - and boldly head into the garden.
May the February sun shower me with vitamins.

Still, a metallic "ugh ugh" escapes me - which is answered by "buchu buchu" from the neighboring garden.

We continue to concert for a while - until the Concerto Grosso reaches its climax in "ugh buchu."

Nevertheless, the beautiful authentic lily of the valley scent gave me the impetus to visit the garden again - even if my knees are a bit wobbly.

My husband made a good choice, sparking hope for "goodbye winter" - and especially for health improvement.

Why this fragrance?
This fragrance holds a special place in my collection - it is the only Eau de Toilette and one of the few fresh scents I currently own.
How did it come to this? Well, I gifted a bottle of this Eau de Toilette to my mom when she was visiting me and we went shopping together. In her youth, she loved wearing a lily of the valley perfume and wanted to indulge in some memories.
A few months after her departure, I stumbled upon an Yves Rocher store during a shopping spree and… got myself a green bottle! Somehow, it made me feel closer to my mom.

Scent impression?
I agree with most reviewers - the scent is not overly floral, but rather green, although I can clearly perceive the lily of the valley. The opening is very lightly citrusy (which I personally like, as I usually don’t enjoy citrus; it often comes across as somewhat artificial and sharp) and quickly shifts into green notes, which I really appreciate. Green notes and lily of the valley create a delightful duet that lasts relatively long. At no point do I find the scent soapy or sharp.

Bottle?
I find the bottle very appealing: rather minimalist, angular, yet with nicely rounded edges. The bright emerald green fits fantastically with the fragrance theme, as does the relief of curved leaves on the front of the bottle.

Longevity & Sillage?
The longevity is quite good for an Eau de Toilette - it lasts on me for 5-6 hours. The sillage is also okay, but rather moderate.

Conclusion
The fragrance is a lovely bright green fresh scent that can be worn preferably in spring and summer. Not a scent for grand appearances, of course, but a pleasant companion for casual occasions, which, while not expensive, certainly does not smell cheap.

For a long time, I wore this beautiful fragrance Muguet en fleurs by Yves Rocher from the recently launched "Um matin au jardin" collection again yesterday. It must have been years since I last wore it.
But since Yves Rocher has just released a lot of new fragrances - I am still skeptical if there is anything for me among them - and many old ones had to go, I brought out my 100ml bottle and sprayed it on for the occasion.
If I remember correctly, I bought this floral scent right after its launch in 2013 or at the latest in 2014, along with the rose scent from this series.
I was looking for a fresh scent that is suitable for everyday wear and work. And you definitely get a fresh scent here.
The fragrance is rather simple and does not undergo any significant development.
I primarily smell lily of the valley and another jasmine-like floral note. The scent reminds me quite a bit of Diorissimo, only that it is lighter. This fragrance should especially appeal to those who like Diorissimo but are looking for something lighter for everyday wear.
The fragrance is very nice and well done in itself, but it could last a bit longer.
The bottle is kept rather simple, but that suits the fragrance as well.
I also bought a second reserve bottle a few years ago. Since it is now being discontinued, I am glad I prepared in time.
