Coty Muguet des Bois is a Cologne launched in 1941, created by Henri Robert. Muguet des Bois opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Orange, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Coty's Muguet des Bois carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This legendary Lily of the Valley scent is a polarizing one in its modern formulation. Many cherish its nostalgic, fresh purity, while others find the current version disappointingly synthetic. If you can snag a vintage bottle, it's pure springtime magic.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While not overtly formal, its delicate nature could work for daytime events. It's too light for intense sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Limonene from Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a crisp burst of green notes and bright citrus, this scent quickly blossoms into a vibrant heart of lily of the valley, supported by delicate rose, jasmine, and lilac. The dry down is a soft, clean whisper of musk and sandalwood, evoking the fresh, dewy scent of a spring garden after rain. It's a true ode to the iconic flower.
