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 - First Season EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Springtime in a Park - a fruity fragrance led by Pear, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

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.

First Season

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The fruity character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fruity, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
