Happy May Day 2019! Every year or so, I do a “May Muguet Marathon”, to celebrate one of my favorite flowers and fragrance notes: lily of the valley, traditionally given on the first of May. Below is last year’s round-up; I’ll start afresh tomorrow! Do you have any favorite muguet fragrances I haven’t yet reviewed? Feel free to make suggestions!

As today is the last day of my self-imposed May Muguet Marathon, I’ll do a brief wrap-up. Some of you who were reading this blog the last time I did this, in 2016, will know that I previously discussed some of the all-time greats among muguet fragrances. I did not repeat most of those, so I list them here with links if any newer reader is interested:

Diorissimo

Guerlain Muguet 2016

Coty Muguet des Bois

Caron Muguet du Bonheur

Premier Muguet

and some new classics:

Annick Goutal’s Le Muguet

Jo Malone’s Lily of the Valley and Ivy

Olivier Polge’s Always in Bloom

Hermes’ Muguet Porcelaine

VCA’s Muguet Blanc

Ann Gerard’s Perle de Mousse

L.I.L.Y. by Stella McCartney
