One admits it’s not May….
And therefore technically not the season for lily of the valley.
But heavens to betsy, on occasion one simply can’t resist!
And what’s perfume for if not to play with the seasons anyway?
In vintage cologne form, Caron‘s Muguet du Bonheur is a golden bar of gently aldehydic faux florality.
Antique, fleeting, savon pur and utterly, if momentarily, prepossessing.
There’s the usual talk of soapy, dusty, short-lived and, at once, elderly.
Nothing of the sort.
As light and bright as late Spring sunshine filtered through white blossom, this is nonchalant perfume for longer, warmer days and walking with no purpose other than being outside.
A scent worthy of its golden lid and splendid insignia.
Whilst I have chosen my own aroma on this occasion, another opportunity to place a new perfume on The Dandy‘s skin will arise with the next instalment of The Perfumed Dandy’s Hit Parade.
In the meantime if you would like to thrust forward a fragrance for future fame on The Hit Parade simply visit ‘Suggest and old scent or recommend a new one’ and leave your suggestion there.
Have an especially fragrant day.
Yours ever
