Lily of the valley-also known by the French “muguet”-is one of perfumery’s most iconic and charming notes. Sweet, fresh, and uplifting, lily of the valley graces many of the best loved floral perfumes.
Learn about this spellbinding perfume note in an accessible 5-minute video that covers everything from lily of the valley’s cameo in the bible to its place in the perfume pyramid to its perfume superpower. The video concludes with my picks for muguet soliflores.

Lily of the valley is my favorite note in fragrance; my very first cologne was Muguet des Bois.

I love this beautiful flower and its smell too! I own 5 lily-of-the-valley perfumes in my large 30+ perfume collection. I own Diorissimo EDT by Dior, Pur Muguet by Cartier, Muguet 2023 by Guerlain, Lily-of-the-Valley by Fragrifert and Lucky by Dior. Pur Muguet is my favorite though!

I absolutely adore this note. I find it very intoxicating and addictive. Guerlain does a wonderful LE Muguet which is released on May 1st every year but the price is obscene. Byredo’s Inflorescence is the next best thing but the longevity is only about 2 hours, sadly. I have yet to smell those Dior ones you mentioned but I’m eager to check them out.

Have you tried Muguet by molinard. It's a strong lillyof the valley soliflore. ❤

Haven't tried that, but it looks fantastic based on the Fragrantica listing. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ropion 's Jasmin Kusamono for Armani Privé is a very nice LOTV and Jasmin. Light, airy, breezy

Nice one, Michael! I have yet to be disappointed by an Armani Privé scent (and I love Ropion). So I will keep an eye out for this one...

I don't know if it is still produced, it was a French perfume called "Muguet De Bois"I discovered about 20 yrs ago, I'd love to have some again , I think was a blend but with strong notes of lily of the valley, I just loved it. Has anyone heard of it?

@brentkallmer1319 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Anastasia! Yes, that is a beloved Coty scent-which sadly is no longer made.

@@brentkallmer1319 Oh yes, that's right. But there was another one I'm thinking , Cabotine de Grey, , think that was it, but I loved the Coty scent also (less expensive than the Cabotine) . Thanks.

@brentkallmer1319 2 жыл бұрын

Ah, yes, Cabotine de Grès--very nice. (FragranceX actually has it at a pretty good price right now.)

@anastasiamurawski6179. Hello. My lovely mother wore Muguet De Bois by Coty for many years. I had some of my own at some point too. Unfortunately, Coty stopped producing it. A few years ago, l noticed that Yardley’s, along with their famous lavender perfume, put out Lily of The Valley. Needless to say, l was elated and purchase some every Spring! So it’s Lily Of The Valley, eau de toilette. 90% naturally derived ingredients. It comes in 50 ml or 1.7 oz . The surprising part…..the cost. I think it is 24.99 but goes on sale quite often for 20.00. They also have Lavender and one other scent, perhaps rose. I have only seen it at Shoppers Drug Mart in Eastern Ontario, Canada. It may very well be available elsewhere. From my earliest memories, my lovely mom would have bouquets in our house. I continued this tradition as well as wearing it. If you have trouble acquiring it and would dearly love some, feel free to contact me. Cheers, Wendy.

I love Dior Asimo, but it does not stay for a long time. I would like you dear to suggest another perfume that is close, so that I can mix them together to get a stronger scent .
