‘Lily of the Valley rises like a subtly humid spring breeze, leaving all its facets – whether floral, green or light – in its trail. Fresh touches of rose and jasmine complete this vernal landscape, on a woody and musky base. Lily of the Valley was composed in 1948, as if to bottle spring and symbolise rebirth after the war. A contemporary gaze could see Paul Vacher as a perfume pioneer, as the lily-of-the-valley became the star note in Diorissimo eight years later, in 1956. The formula for Lily of the Valley was restored in 2020 by Domitille Michalon-Bertier.’ – Le Galion Parfums
