LILY OF THE VALLEY : Backstory
Lily of the Valley historically symbolizes purity, innocence, and the return of happiness, with a rich history in folklore and magic. The flower is associated with luck and protection from evil, and is considered a feminine symbol of motherhood and chastity. Despite its beauty and symbolism, all parts of the lily of the valley plant are highly poisonous
•
"There was an episode of TV's Breaking Bad where Walt used Lily of the Valley as a poison, leaving my jaw on the ground as firstly I had no idea a symbol of Spring happiness and renewal could, under the surface, be so acutely toxic to humans, and, secondly I was fascinated by the double aspect of its power and immediately thought Lily of the Valley as a poisonous flower could make for a riveting perfume, an innocent floral cast through an unexpected, jarring poisonous lens. This deceptive contrast inspired the collection to which it birthed and belongs to: Les Potions Fatales!

Lily of the Valley eau de parfum contrasts the virginal purity of neroli and rose with the roughshod darkness of black leather, a white wedding in Doc Martens, it's a balanced contrast of black and white."
—Joseph Quartana, Creator
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
“I get a light, fresh, loving, neroli with a touch of green that brightens up a nuanced, sparkling, slightly sweet lily of the valley, and a somber, refreshing, dewy jasmine.
Then a milky, sweetened, very smooth, glossy, shimmering vanilla, a blackened, brand new, aromatic jacket-leather, and a stubborn, delicate floral-tinged sandalwood.
Lily of the Valley is a very soft, very appealing, pretty white floral, with a touch of sweetness, and a citrusy, watery, unisex woodiness.
This is a wonderful white floral fragrance from Joseph Quartana.”
