La Fleur Bouquet

I was comparing in the store Valaya and Fleur Narcotique and strongly prefer the latter. Valaya for me is more dense and heavy. Hence between Mystique bouquet and La Fleur bouquet I chose this one. While I did not smell them truly side by side, I did wear Fleur Narcotique from tester couple of times and I find La Fleur Bouquet to be an absolute perfect dupe! It smells like a beautiful flower garden after the rain. It is a very ethereal, light and happy scent, which screams SPRING. And all that with a very impressive longevity! I can easily smell my scent bubble throughout the whole work day in the office. From the notes I do recognize fruits (peach and maybe a little bit of litchi) and flowers (peony and jasmine). I do not feel any rose or powder which is listed above, also no real woodiness. Maybe some musk is there for longevity, but mainly it is wet and pretty fruity flowers.

According to Afnan's site, the notes are: Top - orange blossom, jasmine & peony, Mid - litchi, peach & bergamot, and base - musk, moss & petalia. On the Ex nihilo site the notes are rearranged into another order and there is a note of "transparent wood" added to the base. I'm not sure if it is the moss or the litchi addition to the florals, that I am obsessed with, but this perfume is so pretty. I often like perfumes that have Jasmine and orange blossom together. It does last for hours, but unfortunately at this point the projection isn't really there unless I really overspray. However as with pretty much all Arabian perfumes you have to let them macerate/ sit. I've had my bottle for nearly a week. I wore it to bed last night, and I could smell it still when I woke up. Also, I have Afnan's Mystique Bouquet and that did get stronger with time.

The fragrance oils combined in this beautiful bottle is what we can call good quality, as you can always expected from Afnan — quality and affordable. In short, I have no any objection to this fragrance, it’s a love. The fruitiness in here I can smell kind of pear or pineapple or peach coming together with powdery woody note. I think it can be considered a close relative of Burberry Her OG or Coach Dream OG, but less woody than Burberry Her (I just don’t understand why these two fragrances are not listed in the similarity section). If you love the DNA of these two fragrances, you gonna love La Fleur Bouquet more because the quality is almost better. The longevity is better than average and I love the packaging so much 😍

This is THE ONE! This is what I wanted Valaya and Fleur Narcotique to be. I can’t handle the strong, synthetic base of Valaya and Fleur Narcotique smelled slightly musty to my nose. But La Fleur Boutique smells exactly like what others described when they hyped up Valaya and Fleur Narcotique. Ethereal sparkling peach! Flirty and juicy without being too sweet, too strong, or too floral. Also- the notes on Fragrantica are wrong and a mess. Here are the actual notes directly from the Afnan website: Top Notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Peony Middle Notes: Litchi, Peach, and Bergamot Base Notes: Musk, Moss, and Petalia

I ́ve tested this and Fleur Narcotique side by side several times. To figure out why people think they smell alike. I still think they need to get their noses checked. This smells amazing. However, it is MUCH sweeter than FN. FN is a very airy, clean, floral, musky scent—almost laundry-like. FB is a sweet, fruit-floral scent. If I have to compare it to something, to me, it smells like an elevated, more refined, more airy version of Lataffa ́s Fakhar rose. It is very sweet and bubblegummy, but not as much as Fakhar. Overall, gorgeous, sweet, airy, feminine scent. But nothing like Fleur Narcotique.

This fragrance is really pretty. I wore it to a late September wedding, it was beautiful without being too strong, very appropriate. I could barely smell it on my skin at the end of the evening, however the scent was still strong on my clothes when I smelled them. Similar to Fleur Narcotique, but better in my opinion. I also definitely get My Way in the drydown as some have mentioned. One of my favourite hot weather perfume, I will definitely repurchase.

Please Fragrantica update the notes on your data base. As per Afnan website La Fleur Bouquet notes are: Top Notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Peony Middle Notes: Litchi, Peach and Bergamot Base Notes: Musk, Moss and Petalia This is basically Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique on steroids. It’s very similar only Fleur Narcotique is rounder. If you are on a budget pick La Fleur Bouquet. You won’t be disappointed. Dani @deepgreenbeauty

Love it! It smells EXACTLY like Fleur Narcotic to my nose, perhaps a bit less screetchy than the original. My only complaint is longevity. The original doesn't give great longevity either so maybe it's just the nature of the composition. Save yourself a few hundred dollars and Afnan.

Actual notes from Afnan: PERFUME NOTES Top Notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Peony Middle Notes: Litchi, Peach, and Bergamot Base Notes: Musk, Moss, and Petalia. This is such a lovely everyday perfume, perfect for spring and summer.

This perfume is just perfect. It is gently subtle but I can still smell it after a few hours. Then I respray. I am buying a backup bottle of this. I’m so pleasantly surprised.

So pretty, and feminine...to me it's a sweet peach tea with a lemon slice for freshness...it instantly evokes a feeling of summer. Love.

Beautiful, feminine, floral-based fragrance with an almost indolic, provocative note which may be the jasmine, and a faint, hint of green in the middle. Again (thanks to Dani C) Fragrantica please update your listing for this with the correct notes. These are taken from the Afnan website: Top notes: orange blossom, jasmine, peony Middle notes: Litchi, peach, bergamot Base notes: Musk, moss and petalia The peach is nice and the litchi – fruit notes are present without being really prominent or overriding. Really well-blended and lovely piece of work which I can’t imagine anyone being offended by and decent performance on the skin. It reminds me of a lovely, feminine woman who is calmly confident and dignified in her femininity. This is not an exciting or adventurous fragrance. The presentation box is truly lovely and reminiscent of vintage floral presentation boxes of floral talcs and the bottle and cap unique and attractive and it would grace any dresser. There is nothing cheap about this whatever and it would make a great gift. This is my first by Afnan and again I’m really impressed with the offerings by Arabian fragrance houses, especially the quality for the price.

I like this. It reminds me of Ameerat al Arab from Asdaaf, except sweeter. I didn't like Ameerat al Arab very much because the sweetness faded away too quickly, and the scent left over wasn't as pleasant with the sweetness gone. La Fleur Bouquet smells like grape jelly to me. Ameerat al Arab reminded me of those Aloe Vera drinks that have a white grape flavor, fresher, less sugary. I find it interesting that just a little tweak can turn a scent from a dislike to a like for me. Funny how that works out. I've never smelled Fleur Narcotique, but My Way is my signature scent. This definitely smells similar to My Way as it dries down, just like multiple other reviews here have stated. This has pretty good sillage and longevity. This definitely has potential for repurchase since it's cheap and smells great. Edit: Okay my nose started picking up on a note in the base that smells like the diaper/newspaper smell in Baccarat Rouge and also something that reminds me of tomato sauce. I'm going to have to pass on buying this one again. I like My Way and Fruity Neroli from Dossier better than this one.

I heard this was a Fleur Narcotique dupe and blind bought it for 35$ not actually knowing what FN smelled like. I finally do, and I'm glad I got this because it's better on my skin. First of all, they are very similar and this is definitely a FN dupe. I’d say the floral accords are the same. However, Fleur Bouquet smells denser and sweeter in the opening and middle while FN is more airy and aquatic, but has a muskier base. FN on my skin goes in the direction of masculine, woody musk for a few minutes (kind of ruining the fragrance for me) and then comes back to being a light floral in the drydown, which lasts for half an hour before disappearing. FB stays pleasant and pretty linear throughout (much better lasting power as well).

So... the good stuff is in the dry down. The heart and base notes. The opening screams dated boring flowers and not much else. It’s just.. meh.. But then... it gets fruity type of sweet... nice.. ok... and then comes the powdery, woody rose sweetness that’s the best part but at this point it’s so dry it’s almost a skin scent. I haven’t worn it all over for a day just a springs in my arm, so i don’t know how it projects after the dry down. But that’s the good part. It’s nice but I may not buy it again. Edited to add: the opening is better now. It’s either grown on me or changed with time. It is fresh clean fruity floral! I only wish it was stronger.

It is one of the most signature worthy fragrances i have ever smelled. Feminine (slightly girly - maybe because it reminds me of Britney’s curious which i had in 8th grade in elementary school) romantic, fluffy, clean. It is office friendly and something that makes you feel cozy and lovable in all the seasons for an affordable price Also, it is surprisingly unique. Never smelled it on the streets or on anyone I interacted with, however it is supposed to smell similar to many others like Fleur Narcotic which has a lot of clones.

La Fleur Bouquet by Afnan is not the PDM Valaya dupe. That would be Mystic Bouquet by Afnan. Anyway, La Fleur Bouquet is a pleasant fruity floral. It’s fairly generic and blended so that you don’t really experience any specific note, in particular. It’s just a slightly sweet, soft fruity floral. It’s an inexpensive everyday fragrance, an easy choice when lounging at home. The sillage is intimate and it lasts 1-2 hours on my skin. I like it, but don’t see myself repurchasing once it’s gone.

I have never tried Fleur Narcotique but this scent reminds me My Way more powdery version of it. It’s really sweet , I don’t detect peony or rose in it, only sweet and dense white flowers with citruses somewhere on the back. I personally don’t enjoy this scent profile anymore, but i used to loove it some years ago. I think it’s a nice people pleasing scent that a lot of people will like, or at least wouldn’t mind.

From a tester. Opening: Oh so pretty! I can smell peach, peony, neroli and jasmine. It's like the newborn baby girl of Mystique Bouquet, but with peach and jasmine. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. Drydown: romantic peach. It's not special, but very pleasant, youthful, feminine, great for every day and office friendly. Memorable? No. It lacks character. Easy reach? Yes. It's cute and romantic. 8/10

La Fleur Bouquet is a pretty fruity-floral with peach, lychee, peony, jasmine, soft citrus, and a clean musky base. Fresh in the opening, then quickly turns into a sweet, slightly powdery floral-musky scent and stays fairly linear throughout. Very feminine, easy to wear, and clearly in the Fleur Narcotique DNA family. I can understand why people enjoy this profile, but for me it’s more “nice” than “love”.
