April 30, 2020 Guylaine Simone Gamble Leave a comment

May 1st is “La Fête du Muguet“ a celebration that dates back to the Renaissance. According to the language of flowers Lily of the Valley or Muguet signifies “The return of happiness!”

Lily of the Valley is also an exquisite fragrance and widely used in luxury soaps, perfumes, body and hand lotions as well as candles. However, the essential oils of Lilly of the Valley are very difficult to extract and most French perfumes such as Diorissimo by Christian Dior have to resort to using a synthetic version.

However, Lily of the Valley by Penhaligon`s is a Floral Green fragrance for women. Lily of the Valley was launched in 1976. The nose behind this fragrance is Michael Pick hall. Top notes are bergamot, Amalfi lemon, and geranium; middle notes are lily-of-the-valley, rose, ylang-ylang, and jasmine; base notes are sandalwood and, oakmoss. This product is manufactured in the UK.
