It could have been so beautiful....
The first approach. I get lilies of the valley and a dreamy musky scent that joins the lilac bushes in bloom. The lily of the valley smells like my wonderful Coralie and the musk almost exactly like Soliani's Il Vs Iris, which I wore again just yesterday. A fine, cloudy white, slightly creamy musk note that makes me think of white sheets in the spring sunshine.
Of course, my eyes went wide. A fragrance like my Il Vs Iris, only with lily of the valley and lilac? That has to be one for me. Absolutely. Before I dared to wear it properly and risk losing my heart completely, I first looked to see if Rue des Lilas was still available. At first I couldn't find any options on my cell phone. Limited edition. It was so obvious. But I didn't give up and kept researching. On the PC. And I actually found several online stores that were still offering it and even shipping it to Germany.
So I applied Rue des Lilas and just wanted to enjoy the magic of this fragrance. And then it happened. There. A disruptive note. Between all the lily-of-the-valley smeared
White-flowered beauty, the blooming, green lilacs and the pure, white musk, a nasty little aromachemical nipped in. A Mü at most. Because the fragrance is delicate. I sprayed it a few times and after 2-3 hours there's not much of it left. But it still has that Mü evil. And I think it could be Ambrocenide or a relative that wants to spoil this almost perfect beauty a little. Unfortunately, I've noticed several times with Guillaume's fragrances that reissues and reformulations no longer quite correspond to the original formulation and sometimes have additions that are no longer entirely on my wavelength. Unfortunately, this is also the case here.
It could have been so beautiful: A fragrance that still exists. For under a hundred euros even. But it just wasn't meant to be. Such a shame.
I still think it's great, no question. Nevertheless, it won't become mine. With many thanks to Gandix for the testing opportunity.
