What do reviewers say about Muguet des Bois and White Shoulders?
This is the lily of the valley you smell in gardens and immediately forget, until someone wears it. The aldehydes make it feel older than it is, which means it wears older than you'd expect.Muguet des Bois
It's aldehydic. It's powdery. It's unapologetically mid-century. If that sounds dated, it shouldn't, dated implies it went away. White Shoulders never did.White Shoulders
