Fleurs de Nuit

How is this fragrance so underrated? It seems like people generally prefer the original Badgley Mischka that has sweeter accords. I could tell that one wasn’t going to be my style judging from the notes but I LOVE Fleurs. It’s a perfect fit for the clean girl aesthetic and it’s one of those ‘non perfume’ perfumes. It is predominantly jasmine to my nose but I feel like it mingles well with the rest of the notes. I also love the comment below mine about soaking in a bathtub in a luxury resort in Greece. Yes! I can totally envision that with this scent. This captures the smell of a bubble bath after you have soaked in the sun on the beach all day. I really do detect all of the individual aspects that build a beach profile: the sun, the sand, and the suntan oil/lotion. The orange blossom and citrus project through bringing a clean, slight soapiness. The amber makes this a little sensual while a creamy sweetness peeking through differentiates this from being a standard clean or beachy fragrance. Essentially, it has a little bit of everything I enjoy and yet not anything excessively. I feel like it’s a good combination of Child, Glow, and Jessica McClintock. Those are three of my personal faves so it makes sense that I would gravitate towards this. I am surprised that Child especially is never compared to Fleurs. They have similar dominances of jasmine and magnolia and although they aren’t 1:1 dupes, I feel like they could be in the same fragrance family. Also like Child, this is an ethereal fragrance with impressive sillage and longevity. It’s not heavy but projects naturally on your skin to gently remind you of its intimate presence. Layering them together creates a beautiful, unique combination. You can get this very affordably and like others have mentioned, the bottle is beautiful. I am really happy with this!

Fleurs De Nuit is all about white flowers and then, even more flowers, Folks. No fruits. No woods. Just strong florals. Even though I am not a big fan of florals I can tell Fleurs De Nuit smells extremely elegant and would suit an extremely confident woman. It is bold, powerful, rich, classy, without any sweetness or fruity undertones. If I was asked what Fleurs De Nuit taste like, I would say bitter-sweet but highly addictive. It will not be my winter fragrance as I have impression I would freeze to death if I wore it on a chilly, snowy morning. Spring and cool summer nights would be best time to make friends with Fleurs De Nuit. Not for shy or faint hearted. The bottle, like all BM bottles, is lovely and classy. Lasting power and silage are to die for. Even though the olfactive group is not my favourite, my heart tells me I've found my number one for the next year spring. Therefore it scores 10/10. P.S. The fragrance name should really be Fleurs De Jour as it reminds me of jasmine and magnolia blossom on a spring sunny day :-)

This was one of those where I read the notes and said to myself "this sounds like a scent for me!" and got a bottle ... and am VERY pleased. I was so pleased I immediately went back to eBay and ordered ANOTHER bottle! It's just a lovely scent - the florals mix together to create such a lovely scent; it is somewhat difficult to describe by someone like me who doesn't have the education to distinguish notes, but I can definitely tell that this is a quality perfume. It goes on sweet and clean and dries down without becoming cloying, florals mixing and dancing throughout, like walking through a garden in bloom with the most delicious-smelling flowers to be found. I think it is one to be used any time, any place (personally - because I rarely do anything special to warrant "special" use stuff, so for me any time is the right time to use stuff I like!), but I can understand when people say it's for special nights, romantic use, etc., because it really is beautiful. Highly recommended to those who love florals!

I can't remember how I stumbled onto this, maybe because I had some Badgley Mischka items in my wardrobe and looked up to see whether this design duo had a perfume (or two) in their repertoire. I was immediately attracted to the classy/sexy bottle and the name (French for Night Flowers). Receiving a NWOB 4 oz bottle from Ebay, I immediately tried it and the initial spritzes bloomed into a spicy floral that was magic with my chemistry. It's not a "flower bomb" type of fragrance, nor a sweet floral; rather that the fragrance is tempered by other notes that make it sensual and complex. With a couple of brief spritzes, the dry down turns into more of a radiant skin scent within a couple of hours on me, but that's ok; I am working in a lot of group situations lately, and don't want to overwhelm. One of my male colleagues remarked recently that I smelled "intoxicating" which pleased me no end!

Gorgeous white floral of jasmine and orange blossom that opens with magnolia touched with a little peach, bringing to mind the saucer magnolias that bloom in early spring where I live. They are sweetly floral and a little fruity, and exactly how it smells in this perfume. The composition as a whole is beautiful and performance is terrific too. Despite being soft and unimposing, this is workhorse that I was aware of throughout the day. I'm mad at myself for having put off buying this when I could have been enjoying it all along. Despite knowing one of my favorite perfumers, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, created this the contradictory reviews had me hesitant. Just goes to show that while reviews can be helpful, there is nothing like trying it yourself as everyone has different tastes and chemistry. I'm so glad I took the plunge and bought it after all. It really is one heck of a beautiful perfume.
