One Sentence Perfume Review: Madonna Lily, Parfums des Beaux Arts (DSH)























She's a remarkably pretty child, but that melancholy air she puts on can be a bit exasperating.



Notes per DSH website: Bergamot, Lily of the Valley (Muguet), Spice Notes, French Lily, Jonquil, Kenya Lily, Ylang-Ylang, Galbanum, Vanilla Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute


Mater Dolorosa (detail), Hans Baldung Grien, 1516. Image from Web Gallery of Art.

The notes sound like my cup o'tea. Love the mournful Madonna - very German!

Isn't she pretty? And so very young.

The scent is gorgeous. I do think you would like it, esp. since it doesn't have even a hint of musk that I can detect. I like my lilies to have a little more tiger in them, so to speak, but this one is pretty much perfect as tame lilies go.
