About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Penhaligon's Lily of the Valley (1976) is a classic floral green that opens with a brisk, green geranium note. The heart is a lush bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and rose, creating a white floral accord that is both fresh and slightly spicy. The base of oakmoss and sandalwood adds a mossy, woody depth that grounds the composition. This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate traditional green florals with a mossy backbone. It suits those who prefer elegant, understated scents for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer. The lily-of-the-valley is prominent but not soliflore; it is woven with other florals and given a chypre-like finish by the oakmoss. The overall effect is refined and reminiscent of a garden in bloom. For vintage perfume enthusiasts, this 1976 release captures the aesthetic of its era—polished, natural, and slightly austere. It is a must-try for lovers of green florals and classic Penhaligon's style.

中文簡介
