Serge Lutens - Un Lys

In the novels of Laura Ingalls Wilder and L.M. Montgomery (esp. the Emily series), there would be meticulous, paragraphs-long descriptions of women's clothing - ruching, button width, bustles, calico, collars. Un Lys is chocolate-coloured sateen with silver clasps.
I realise that my reviews are abstracted the point of utter absurdity so here is a guide:
Do I like it?: it doesn't move me. I like lily of the valley's virginal gleam and verdure, but lily itself just reminds me of vases blocking my view and pollen falling in dirty piles on the kitchen table.
TAKE TWO: fleshiness, pods, peachtone, dusty brown.
