11 fragrances smelling lily of the valley

Lily of the valley ! Even since the Antiquity, the beginning of the beautiful days, in other words, the spring is celebrated with this famous flower. The romans used to celebrate it until the beginning of the month of may, as the Florales, in honor of Flora, the goddess of the flowers. In fact, it’s only at the beginning of the nineteeth century, that it is associated with Labor Day, in France. But what about it’s perfume ? It is discreet and delicate.. On the other hand, this flower is said to be mute in perfumery, because it is very fragile and cannot be distilled. However, the lily of the valley represents, for me, an “Ode to Joy” and the energy instilled by the spring.
