Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lily of the Valley EDT
This Yardley Lily of the Valley is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some swear it's the real deal, a natural, clean lily of the valley for a great price. Others reckon it's a weak, synthetic mess that doesn't smell like the flower at all. Tread carefully.

Our Verdict - Especially Escada EDP
This fresh, watery rose is a divisive little thing; some find it a delightful, clean everyday scent, while others are utterly underwhelmed by its fleeting nature and generic vibe. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who love it, its gentle charm is undeniable.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lily of the Valley

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it ideal for casual wear or the office, where it won't overpower. The generally weak longevity, which many reviewers note, reduces its suitability for longer events like dates or formal occasions, while its green freshness could work for light activity.

Especially Escada

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, light rose and aquatic profile makes it ideal for casual wear and surprisingly suitable for the office due to its non-offensive nature. However, the often-cited poor longevity and soft sillage make it less impactful for formal events. Many reviews highlight its perfect suitability for day-to-day summer wear.
