A very pleasant green floral, in my opinion suitable for both sexes. It strikes a fresh-floral note and reveals the green and mossy woods aspects more and more as it dries down. Citrus, fruity, and green notes (with marigolds) in top lead off, followed by a floral bouquet of white flowers with honeysuckle, orris, and a light rose, all supported by a base of woods, musk, and moss. This is especially good to wear in fine weather; it matches the sunny mood. Its a pretty optimistic scent, giving one a feeling that everything is going to be just fine: "Everything's coming up roses and daffodils" (well, narcissus...). A very definite thumbs up for this Daniel Molière classic from 1982.

Eau de Givenchy is a light green floral fragrance that has a distinctive touch of spearmint and ozonic/marine notes. I know that the spearmint aspect may sound odd and “gum-like” but it actually makes the perfume quite refreshing and cool. There are no citrus notes so Eau de Givenchy is definitely unlike other “Eau’s” out there. Finally, it would really appeal to someone who like Balmain Vent Vert.

Like Coty's Muguet de Bois, but with a bit more body. Will most likely please any lover of lily of the valley. I've been wearing it on and off for about 20 years. Spring in a bottle.

Where I grew up, we had lily-of-the-valley flowers bloom every spring. This reminds me of their crisp green stems, the delicate white flowers, and the cool damp earth that they like to grow in. A scent for spring or summer, especially hot weather, as it isn't a heavy or cloying floral. I have the EDT, and wish it would last longer.

So sickeningly sweet, I had to wash it off.

This was the best lily of the valley fragrance I ever smelled - with a really natural lily of the valley impression. I loved and used it when I was about 20 years old. It's very fresh and cool with a soft, sweet and somehow stale drydown - and at the same time a bit dark and melancholic.
