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 - Vert Flower EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Yardley Lily Of The Valley - a aromatic fragrance led by Geranium, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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.

Vert Flower

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the aromatic, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the aromatic accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
