bibiche Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 I’m looking for a commercially available lily-of-the-valley perfume for an older relative. It (the flower) is her favorite fragrance, and one that her now deceased husband used to offer her (in flower and in perfume form). That’s all I’ve got to work with. It doesn’t have to be perfume, any of the eaux would work too. Anyone? 2 Quote
Ali in OR Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 This brings back memories. My mom used to wear a perfume called Muguet de Bois, which apparently is lily of the valley. My sister and I loved sampling it! And it must not be made anymore since what's available on Amazon is ridiculously expensive. But there are many other lily of the valley scents on Amazon. 2 Quote
Catwoman Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 I don't know of one, but I hope someone else does, because that is such a sweet idea for a special gift! 1 Quote
Selkie Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 My mom wore lily of the valley perfume when I was a little kid. I don’t remember the name, but it was in a blue bottle. Memories! 2 Quote
fraidycat Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Wow! That makes me think of my Grandma. I'm sorry I can't help you with an item, but Lily of the Valley was my grandma's scent. 2 Quote

Regards, Kareni You may have hit the jackpot with this one -- it has been around for a long time, and might be the exact perfume bibiche's relative's dh used to buy for her. I think that's the one I would choose if I was the one buying the gift. 7 Quote
