I have spent many a day warily eying this little thing, but finally got the courage to try it out. I put some on my wrist, and immediately had to come here to review the stuff.
This scent opens with bright, almost SHARP citrusy notes; I assume the sharpness comes from the lemon and "Grassy notes" blending together. As time goes on, the sharpness dissipates completely, and the middle notes begin to emerge.
After a good half hour of wear, I get a bright, almost fizzy lily-of-the-valley scent. This phase of the fragrance is like sitting in a garden on a sweltering summer afternoon, surrounded by lilies of the valley, sipping all tall glass of ginger ale. It sounds odd, but is actually both refreshing and pretty, if reminiscent of a humid day outdoors.
However, when approaching an hour or two of wear time, the fizziness disappears and I am left with a delicate, nostalgic scent that I can only liken to the way those My Little Pony dolls smelled when I was younger.
If only the middle notes would last longer... or heck, if the fragrance itself would last longer on my skin.
For those who have tried Penhaligon's Lily Of The Valley, this is similar, if a bit more effervescent.
I can imagine this working for any age group, as well, so it's certainly worth a try.

This smells SO much like Ivory soap with a delicate floral overly on me. It's a tad expensive, but I will no doubt repurchase. It wears close to the body, which is how I like scents to wear. I haven't smelled anything like it to date. The only drawback is that it doesn't last as long as I'd like. However, its originality (I've not smelled any other perfume like it) and its clean/floral combo, I'd have to say I'll gladly repurchase. Two thumbs way up!

To my surprise, I like this one better than Diorissimo, which I wore for years and loved. More natural smelling, with less of a synthetic edge. This fragrance smells exactly like the bed of lilies of the valley in my garden, down to a fresh note that reminds me of dew.

Lily of the Valley is one of my favorite scents - it has been since I was a little girl. I'm not wild about really floral perfumes and usually gravitate towards green fragrances. This one smells like a true, one-note lily of the valley fragrance and I think that is why I like it so much. My only complaint is that it doesn't have much lasting power on me and I've had difficulty finding it to repurchase.

I have never smelled something so fresh before! It reminds me of Diorissimo but less complex as Diorissimo has a woody note. This one is entirely floral. It is very nice but not very long-lasting. I hope they will launch it in EDP concentration.

I recently scored a sample of this at Nordstrom's and it smells lovely. To me it smells floral fresh. I haven't worn my sample in a while, I think I'll wear it tomorrow.

Gosh I just adore this! It smells sharp and fresh like a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. I get so many compliments on this when I wear it! It really is a unique lily of the valley as I've ever smelled anything like it before... it is a more modern lily of the valley maybe with the tiniest hint of citrus? You will definitely not be disappointed with this one. The lasting power on this is incredible also! as it lasted for days in my clothes. enjoy! :)
