Lily of the Valley

The quiet sophistication of an English garden in early summer, where the air is filled with the subtle yet distinct scent of lily-of-the-valley and a hint of green undergrowth.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lily of the Valley by Floris was launched in 1847 and embodies a lasting elegance that has defined the brand since its founding. Juan Floris crafted this floral green fragrance for women, capturing the essence of lily-of-the-valley with a fresh, powdery complexity. The composition opens with crisp amalfi lemon and green notes before diving into the heart of lily-of-the-valley, violet, rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. A musky base adds depth, creating a scent that is both delicate and enduring.

How to wear it

Lily of the Valley is best applied as two sprays on pulse points. The citrus notes are fleeting, so aim for a strong opening that will give way to the floral heart. It reads better close to skin than in open air, making it perfect for intimate settings.
