Hours in, a bit of wood invades the garden motif. I'm reminded of old furniture - an almost old, oak smell. The "musk" is vague and is barely worth noting for now... I get about 6 to 7 hours wear for longevity - more, if generously sprayed. White florals are a definite pass for me since they smell too last century. Whenever I come across a scent like this, I’m tempted to buy a bottle because it reminds me of my grandmother. But that means I miss her, not that I want to smell like her! I suppose, like with any other perfume or anything else really, it depends on your personal preferences. Which perfume resonates with you personally depends on a range of various factors, including your personality, the season, your age, gender, the occasion, and of course, your personal preference.

Jessica’s memorable presence and evergreen brand include collections of apparel and accessories which can be accessed below.But the star of the show is still the lovely Lily-of-the-Valley, although a more bright and green version. Because it’s combined with such clean top-notes, this fragrance smells more like drinking freshly squeezed lemonade on a picnic blanket laid in a field of wild flowers than it does smelling a bouquet of Lily-of-the-Valley. All fruitiness begins to become a memory as JM moves into pure floral mode. It shows its age - the 1980's. You either enjoy JM or you don't; for the most part, I do. It isn't mind-blowing but, it is a good, dumb-reach oldie for nostalgic cravings. Middle notes: Lily-of-the-Valley, Lilac, Jasmine, Lily, Ylang-Ylang, Amaryllis, Rosemary, and Boronia.

The flowers intensify with time. They have no sweetness to them, just garden-variety flower character.

However, I’d say this perfume is worth a try because of these same reasons and because it comes at a surprisingly low price. The sillage on this perfume, though, is very poor. To add a bit more depth to the fragrance are notes of romantic Rose and sultry Jasmine along with base notes of Musk and mixed Woody notes. Although, I usually prefer some grounding base notes in a scent, the fact that these are almost non-existent in this fragrance is actually nice. Nice because it highlights the fresher notes and lets the scent remain light and airy keeping you dancing in the clouds.

Diorissimo can be described as an old-school romantic scent. This extremely floral scent may be a little too much for some, but hey, that is what makes a scent distinctive! Overall, this is an excellent alternative with moderate longevity if you’re really into Lily of the Valley; otherwise, it may be too expensive to provide value for money.
