In the middle of a dewy garden
Why this fragrance?
This fragrance enjoys an exceptional position in my collection - it is the only eau de toilette and also one of the few fresh fragrances that I own.
How did it come to this? Well, I gave a bottle of this eau de toilette to my mom when she was visiting me and we were shopping together. In her youth, she was very fond of wearing a lily of the valley perfume and wanted to reminisce a bit.
A few months after she left, I stumbled upon a Yves Rocher store while shopping and... picked up a green bottle myself! Somehow, it made me feel closer to my mum.
Fragrance impression?
I agree with most reviewers - the scent is not overly floral, but rather green, although I can clearly perceive lily of the valley. The start is very slightly citrusy (which I personally find good, because I usually do not like citrus, it often seems somehow artificial and pungent) and swings relatively quickly into the green, which I like very much. Green notes and lily of the valley form a magical duet that lingers for a relatively long time. At no point do I feel the scent soapy or pungent.
Flacon?
The flacon I find very appealing: rather minimalist, but still with beautifully rounded edges. The bright emerald green is a fantastic match for the fragrance theme, as is the relief of curved leaves on the front of the bottle.
H&S?
The longevity is quite good for an eau de toilette - it lasts 5-6 hours on me. Sillage is also okay, but rather moderate.
Conclusion
The fragrance is a nice bright green freshness, which can be worn preferably in the spring and summer. No fragrance for great appearances, but a decidedly pleasant companion for casual occasions, which smells not expensive, but just not cheap in any case.
