Flowers on the "Grave of Love"
I have had this perfume for a long time and appreciate it especially in this season: when the rhododendrons bloom in their pink/purple tones, the elderflower, the columbine... late spring, but not yet early summer.
"Pur Desir de Lys" delivers solid quality - but of course nothing extraordinary. Clearly, it is a soliflore that simply smells of lilies - what else?
But you have to like lilies...
For many people, they are - especially the white lilies - THE flowers for a funeral, without a doubt! A friend of mine thought so many years ago (by the way, the same one I mentioned in my comments on "Un Jardin au Toit" and "Narcisse"). After a short relationship with his then-girlfriend, he realized that his feelings for her had faded. But he apparently lacked the right words to convey this to her! So he gave her a bouquet of white lilies. "Oh yes...flowers on the grave of love...how sad!" commented my mother, to whom he also told this story during our card game. Only the girlfriend did not understand this message. "A bouquet for me? How lovely!!!" Well, then the friend had to put his feelings into words after all...
Today, there are supposedly even delivery services for such occasions that send wilted flowers to the future "ex." But I think an open yet sensitive conversation is fairer in that situation!
Anyway: I am not one of those who consider lilies as funeral flowers (I would have probably understood the friend's message if it had been directed at me) and therefore quite like this old Rocher scent!
