The Return Of Happiness
Muguet, or Lily of the Valley, is a perfume linked to my childhood. Its candid but penetrating scent, lanceolate leaves, and bell-shaped little white flowers are my childhood memories. At that time, my family had moved to Milan, my parents were both working, and as a result, my elder sister and I spent the holidays with our grandparents during the summer months. My paternal grandmother had a passion for the vegetable garden and the grassland. Behind the house, close to a fence, there were lilies of the valley under some moist shady ground, in full bloom between late May and early June. Of course, there were many other flowers, dahlias, daisies, and gladioli, but the lilies of the valley had something that fascinated me and caught my attention. Those little white bells that dangled from the stem and hid among the greenish leaves gave off an intoxicated, fresh, powerful scent, and I always wondered how such tiny flowers might have had such an intrusive scent. And I was not aware that, although beautiful and sweet-smelling, this flower is quite toxic and deadly to domestic animals and humans when consumed. According to the language of flowers, Lily of the Valley or Muguet signifies "The return of happiness!"
Thus, the Labeau saga “continues” with L'Eau de Muguet. The aroma of a pronounced spring direction welcomes me with the freshness and sourness of black currant leaves. I can feel the tart motif, which blends with a somewhat shy red rose and a much safer juicy orange. There is an aquatic atmosphere in that opening, nothing salty or marine. Instead of something wet and dewy, delicate, like the first flowers of spring, like water lilies at the water's edge. The shade of juicy orange is bittersweet, not too sour, which is represented not only by the juice but also by the orange peel, and the presence of lily-of-the-valley is noticeable from the very beginning. The non-dominant rose, and the tamed jasmine refers to an elegant, volatile, and captivating sensuality.
As the sparkling chord of the opening calms down and the scent settles on my skin, the spicy scent of jasmine and lily of the valley blossoms explodes. As the fragrance is a tribute to the lily-of-the-valley, indole jasmine stands in the background, as do the choir's voices, while the spicy hints of black pepper masterfully balance the lily of the valley, otherwise too strong to induce a headache. The heart is well orchestrated, and the lily of the valley is gentle, bearable, not offensive. It is floral notes of jasmine, lily of the valley, and light rose; they are delicate watercolors, like solid colors diluted with water.
Subsequently, the fragrance dries on a predominantly earthy and musky base. The greenish opening and the central floral part flow perfectly into the clean patchouli leaves, the soapy and transparent musk, and a slightly salty but never too marine ambergris. The fragrance dissolves in the warm air, leaving a cold trail on the skin, something with soapy and dusty edges. It is as if ice cubes had touched it which, melted without a trace, at the end left only sensations. What a nice surprise this perfume is! This Spanish house, Labeau, is pleasing me more and more.
What else to say? Labeau L'eau de Muguet is a fresh and casual fragrance because there is nothing more refreshing than spring supported by the freshness of the lily of the valley. Still, it is, at the same time, delicate with a feminine cut like the first flowers that come and bold with a masculine cut like the ultimate earthiness that goes. It has an average projection and longevity, and after a few hours, the subtly wavering fragrance transforms into the lightest cloud of musky patchouli. The aroma does not completely disappear; it remains on the skin and clothes, and freshness and fruity acidity are probably for the best. I have no doubts about wearing it on warm spring days, in my free time, going to work, or spending some time at home relaxing on a lazy weekend. I can't help but check out and review L'Eau de Thé Vert, which isn't just another brick in the wall of regular green tea scents. Stay tuned.
I base the review on a 60ml bottle I have owned since May 2022.
