YARDLEY by Yardley for WOMEN: LILY OF THE VALLEY EDT SPRAY 4.2 OZ

Just as expected.

I really wanted to like this as another review stated it smelled close to Muguet Des Bois. No it doesn't. Cannot return nor get a refund due to "regulated good for return transport". It did arrive fairly fast and it was well packaged. I'll try it again in a month or so...maybe it has to age like wine or something.

This fragrance isn't Lily of the Valley as I know & remember. I have an old bottle of Muguet Des Bois by Coty that is a keepsake & is practically full. I wasn't sure how it would smell after a few years. So I sprayed a little of the Muguet Des Bois on a clean cloth & it was still fragrant & lovely. Then I sprayed a little of the Yardley Lily of the Valley that I just purchased on a different clean cloth. I briefly waited then smelled each one. There was no comparison. The Muguet had a stronger, more lasting scent. The Lily was watered down & had a scent of pears. I'm very disappointed because I wanted to save my Muguet as it's a keepsake. I thought Lily of the Valley would be a great new replacement but it's not. Buyer beware! Don't waste your money. I cannot return it or get a refund. The best I can do is hopefully leave a review that will warn future buyers about this product.

I loved a fragrance called Muguet Des Bois which was a Lily of the Valley scent. Sadly, I can't find it anywhere anymore. Thus is a true Lily of the Valley scent. It's not too heavy, it's very fresh and green and lasts just long enough. It's as close to my old favorite as I've ever found, and believe me, I've searched!

I am with some of the other reviewers who took issue w this fragrance NOT smelling like pure Lily-of-the-Valley. It has hints of it, but for my nose, they are right. That said, I still enjoy it and am complimented on it frequently. I can't describe how it REALLY smells because all that is so subjective. But it is most definitely not a solid hit of Lily-of-the Valley.

Lovely light fragrance with a hint of the flower. However it is nothing like the scent from years ago. Obviously changed and is not the beautiful flower. Like I said it's very nice but it's not it.

Years ago this was my favorite fragrance but the product has changed and is bo longer appealing. I should have read that this cannot be returned so be aware

To whom it may concern,The item arrived within the time frame promised. I am however very disappointed as there is NO resemblance to the Lily of the Valley delightful smell. I have had another bottle (diferent make) but can no longer find the brand. Having bought Yardley products before which were all fine, I am quite disappointed and I would not recommend this one to anyone. I love the smell of Lily of the Valley flowers. I used to go into the woods where I lived to pick the in the wild. Wish I could give you a better recommendation. If anybody knows of a brand which is a true Lily of the Vally product please let me know.Eva Snuffer
