Absolutely gorgeous, heavenly lily of the valley! LOTV is my favorite note and I have used just about every lotv focused perfume there is in the US and Europe all the way from vintage yardley to Serge Lutens to Caron and Penhaligon’s to Kuumba to Monyette, and everything in between, and this is my favorite. I was fortunate to get large decants of 2014 and 2016 from a fellow Guerlain and fragrance collector in Canada, and I don’t think I have ever been so blown away by a perfume in my life, and that’s saying a lot. On my skin, this smells like pure lotv perfection, very realistic. Soft, delicate yet sharp, like a glass blown lotv sculpture, green yet white, sweet but in a clean, earthy way, not candied. I imagine lotv on a cool spring morning, the sun just barely rising, but just enough to make the dew drops on the lotv glisten as you feel the cool, wet grass under your feet.
On me, this begins with a pure, green, burst of lotv but after about a half hour it becomes more gentle. It stays relatively close, about 3ft, then after about 4 hours it’s about half that, but still the same notes, just gentler. Pretty and linear, simple, but in the very best way. I have so much appreciation for a good lotv fragrance, and this is everything I hoped and dreamed it would be. It smells more like true lotv than 2016, and is more appealing and attracrive to me personally. If you love lotv you have to try this if you ever have the opportunity!
If I had to compare this to anything to try and give anyone curious an idea about how this smells, I would say it is almost like a cross between Penhaligon’s, Jo Malone LOTV and Ivy, vintage Diorissimo, with just a hint of Kuumba. It is absolutely divine!

I think this is the best bottle design in the line; I hope they come back to it when I become rich and the ridiculous restrictions on lily of the valley would be lifted as well (so they can “actually” utilize the supposed acres of muguet they own)

I love Guerlain. I love lily of the valley. I love the bottle. This perfume? Not so much.
In a nutshell, it smelled fecal on me. No thanks!

I just smelled this at Saks in NYC. Beautiful bottle; musty, earthy, root-like perfume on the tester and on my skin. I did not care for it at all; I was surprised since I waited years to smell it. It is not the crisp, clean, sparklingly pretty perfume the bottle had led me to believe. One less perfume on my “wish I could afford” list! On the positive note, the gentleman at the counter is quite knowledgeable and will help you find the Guerlain that works for you!

A nice & simple lily of the valley soliflore that would fit really well in the Aqua Allegoria line. Too over priced for what it really is
