Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley by Acqua di Parma is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and blackcurrant, moves into petitgrain and lily of the valley and dries down to cedarwood and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
