Muguet du Bonheur
A fragrance that exudes spring and joie de vivre!
An iconic perfume of our heritage, launched in 1952, Muguet du Bonheur has been reinterpreted by our in-house perfumer, Jean JACQUES, in a very contemporary style. This fresh composition was created with one idea in mind: to make you smile!
Fall for the daring composition of the crystalline floral notes of a lily-of-the-valley accord blended with the delicious aroma of a pear note.
The fragrance
We might as well tell you straight away, Jean Jacques composed Muguet du Bonheur with one idea in mind: to bring you pleasure.
Everything exudes joie de vivre in this fruity floral chypre! The luminous citrus fruit – bergamot, mandarin and lime essences – that sparkle in the top notes. Then this pear that’s better than the real thing. Crisp and sweet, exquisitely highlighted by a watermelon note. It’s enough to make your mouth water… The fruit’s botanical facets perfectly match those of lily-of-the-valley. Its fresh, incredibly delicate scent is recreated using an exceptional rose essence sourced from a For Life network of growers.
A charming, instantly seductive fragrance, Muguet du Bonheur (also) has the merit of being elegant: blending cedar, moss and patchouli, its chypre sillage evokes the inimitable style of Parisian women… especially Félicie. Whether you are looking to treat yourself or someone else, you won’t be disappointed!
“This Muguet du Bonheur is a radiant perfume – springtime in a bottle!”
The duality Lily-of-the-Valley Pear
These two might never have met!
We have to admit that love between a flower that only grows in spring and a winter fruit seemed unlikely… But that was without counting on our perfumer Jean Jacques. He arranged a daring encounter between the crystalline floral notes of a lily-of-the-valley accord and the delicious scent of a nashi pear note taken from the flavour palette: juicy, fresh and mouthwatering… The fruit’s botanical facets perfectly enhance those of lily of the valley. The result? It’s a perfect match!
Its fresh and delicate fragrance is combined with an exceptional rose essence sourced from For Life certified growers.
More than a perfume, a story
In 1952, CARON had the ingenious idea of bottling springtime. On May 1st of that year, the Maison launched a solar-floral fragrance inspired by the tender and elegant scent of this ephemeral flower: the lily of the valley. A perfect gift for Parisian women who were staying in the city!
70 years later, The Maison continues this tradition with Muguet du Bonheur. A flowery fragrance, composed by Jean JACQUES, our in-house perfumer, for today’s Parisian women… Even if the composition has changed, our intention is still to give smile to those who wear it!
But why do we give lily-of-the-valley on 1 May?
For good luck! On this date in 1651, Charles IX was the first to offer the ladies at court a sprig of this little flower brought back to him from Italy… to wish them happiness and good luck. Over the years, this gesture became a tradition, but for a long time it was limited to the aristocracy. The custom only became popular around 1900.
