Naturalistic old style Guerlain
A bouquet of fresh lily-of-the-valley. That's it. Crystal clear, transparent, pure, a little bit greenish.
But thats's not to be underestimated, the flower is very complicated to imitate. Most of lily-of-the-valley perfumes feel synthetic, industrial, too strong, not realistic. This one does not, Jean-Paul Guerlain is a master perfumer, you can feel it. It is saddening how AA line quality dropped in 20 years. I wish they brought back the old ones, like this one, Gentiana, Rosa Magnifica, Flora Nerolia... at least for boutique line.
I am extremely angry with Guerlain for this, the idea of the line if perfect to market it every year as they do... But it does not mean you should make them so mediocre, Guerlain please get a grip.
