A happy coincidence that these two holidays fall so close together.

The celebration of Muguet Day brings to mind a favorite scent from the years when we chose our first grown up perfume, Coty’s Muguet des Bois. It captured perfectly the fragrance of the tiny, bell-shaped blossoms that grew under our oak trees, the first real sign of spring. Each year we would buy a new box, deriving as much delight from the pretty bottle on the bureau tray as the splash of scent on a hot day. It still reminds us of being nineteen.

What is just a little surprising (but not) is a mother-daughter conversation that took place many years later. Comparing notes on our favorite brands—hot dogs, vacuum cleaners, hand soap—our mother mentioned that years ago there was a perfume she loved. A dusting powder, too. She wore it when she first got married. Coty’s Muguet des Bois.

So this year, we celebrate those mysterious echoes between mother and daughter. We created a special couture piece from a fabric waiting for a special occasion: a bell-shaped skirt in a fabulous silk organza embroidered with a lily of the valley motif. The organza is backed with a white cotton dotted swiss—the tiny clochettes—and underlined with a stiff, snow-white cotton organdy for pouf. We present the Muguet Skirt.
