Lil Fleur

Oh Lil Fleur... this was my first real big-girl perfume purchase. It's so beautiful - this perfume really does do a dance on your skin. The notes tango together, telling a unique story that unfolds in three parts. The opening of saffron and tangerine is immediately bright, sparkling, and almost sizzling, like heat waves on a hot summer day. The opening truly does have an electric feel to it. Next, it settles into the GORGEOUS rose note that is perfectly balanced with a leather note that gives this perfume a very unique edge. Finally, Lil Fleur settles into a nice musk that carries for hours. The vanilla is not prominent at all, I would have never guessed it was even in there, to be honest. The sileage and projection are ENMOROUS. I have to be careful wearing it to work. In my opinion, Lil Fleur is a work of art. It's the perfect spring time frag for the edgy it-girl or guy. The best way I can describe Lil Fleur is; it feels like your boyfriend is in a band - drenched in leather, hairspray, and clangy silver chains - and he just got back from tour. He greets you with a bouquet of roses but you can tell the roses were definitely in the back of the tour bus for a day or two. But you're so in love, you're just happy to get some beautiful flowers from the one you love. You spend the night together, he leaves in the morning to get back on the road, and you're left with the smell of him, your night together, and of course... your roses. Rating: 9.5/10

Like Capfi, I’m surprises by the bad reviews here. I love this perfume! I was looking and trying very different perfumes yesterday by Skins and this was the one that I fell in love with right away. My daughter also finds it to be very pleasant. At first I don’t know exactly what I am smelling but it is a mix of something sweet and Fresh at the same time. Then comes the rose and what a rose it is. A few years ago I was in a rose garden in South Africa and there was a pink rose called ‘Victoria’ and I loved Its scent. The rose in this perfume reminds me off that particular rose, so no wonder I fell in love with it right away, since perfumes are all about memories. Great sillage and longivity, I can still smel it on my clothes from yesterday! Don’t let the bad reviews hold you back from this perfume but try it yourself if you love rose perfumes. Maybe you will love it just as much as I do. If I have to compare this with another perfume, I would choose ‘Jacinthe et Rose’ from E’Coudray but it is not the same. I love both perfumes!

I got a sample today. I was very impressed by Byredo. They have a flawless customer service. They had sent me two samples with my order, and one of these samples was Lil Fleur. I really wonder what is the meaning of perfume's name? Lil from little? Lil from lily? But there are no lilies there. Anyway, I put the perfume on skin and I was stroke by a huge rose, dark, Draculian rose. It is like a vampiric rose, deep and complex, hidden behind of strong dose of gasoline. From time to time I think of oud mixed with the best quality rose jam. There is a bit of vanilla combined with a soiled biker leather jacket. Shy and dirty on the same time. Majestic rose in cloud of exhaust gas. This a Portrait of Lady made with an obvious amount of bossiness, like a somehow Portrait of a Man. The price is right, the delivery is perfect, the description matches the feeling of the perfume. A very good perfume for the today's world. You know what? I kind of love it. Is like a Stockholm Syndrome. The Swedes from Byredo got me!

Interesting scent with a crisp, fizzy opening with cassis, citrus & rose before it transforms into a delicate leather with dominant rose. The cassis is very beautiful in here. I have to say I am surprised by all the negative reviews as I usually go for more mainstream scents myself, but I really appreciate this. I don’t find this difficult or offensive and have received several compliments when wearing this. Leather is usually a challenging note for me but it works in here, it is not too dominant and adds a nice contrast to the fruits and florals and rounds off the scent to something more unusual than your typical fruity-floral. Lil Fleur is more of an edgy scent, it is light, minimalistic, just smells like something a cool girl would wear. Dries down to a pleasant, ambery rose-vanilla. Longevity about 4 hours with mild projection.

What a pleasant surprise! Honestly I've been ignoring this one for a while. No special reason, I just thought it's gonna be some soft-watercolor-washed out floral along the lines of La Tulipe (which actually I love, it is pure embodiment of watercolor tulip scent for me). Anyhow, I went on to try Lil Fleur and really, really liked it, ha! At first it gave me this cute tangerine-rose blast, very frivolous and innocent almost. But soon after the saffron and woody notes make an appearance and all of a sudden she is not so innocent anymore. She is serious, a bit provocative and she means to seduce you. There is something that slightly reminds me of Gucci Guilty Absolute, probably the rose-cassis combo. Definitely considering a full bottle of this. Must try if you love rose fragrances.

I was so intrigued by this one based on the low rating and many negative reviews I personally like a new/strange/novel scent so I would say " please do not underestimate LIL Fleur " First I sniffed at the bottle, I got something citrusy come along with plastic scent which is not new and a bit boring so I tested on my skin and t-shirt, 30 mins later, citrusy scent gone and replaced with the scent I could say " CLASSY " How I can best describe it as a rosy, soft and floral laundry detergent spread across an extra large sheet of leather. Plus the dry down is so perfect, it transformed to the scent I could not describe, something like a dried rose bouquet kept in luxury crate. It's on my wish list already :-D

Maybe the marketing has gotten to me, but the smell dredges up memories of young love... like the hair of the sporty girl you had a crush on wearing crisp new sneakers on the first day of school. The scent itself I s evocatively youthful without actually smelling juvenile. The leather in the composition really brings to mind that new shoe smell. Obviously synthetic but comforting in a way. The rose is the most stand out note, but it’s modern, & doesn’t in any way smell of old ladies like they sometimes do. The saffron adds some brightness and exotic allure to the overall composition. I’ve enjoyed my sample a lot, but would much prefer smelling this on my lady.

This is beautiful and could easily be my new signature scent. Seeing the notes one would think that it’s a heavy and strong fragrance, but it’s actually quite delicate and sophisticated. I detect leather and rose, and something that reminds me of Lovehearts candy - in a good way. It reminds me slightly of a danish perfume called HYGGE BY UNIQUE, which is not listed in Fragrantica, but Lil Fleur has a much better longevity and projection. I only have a 2 ml. sample, but I’ve ordered a 100 ml. bottle. Can’t wait to my hands on it!

Got it from my sister as a birtdaypresent, I adore it! On me the rose is present, I am not a rose girl, only if it is done right..this is soo addictive can't stop sniffing...well the rose, tangerine, cassis, saffron, , little bit leather are the maine notes on my skin..I still don't know the performance and longevity, I only tested a tiny bit, it is expencive..so not a daily wear, sigh...but I can smell it around me with that tiny bit of spray, so I think it will perform verry good!

Absolute love at first sniff for me - I’ve never liked leathery scents but it works so well with the jammy rose. I get a distinctive powdery note in the drydown but maybe it’s just the fusion of the Cassis and Leather. It’s definitely musky and Australian’s would know what I mean when I say it smells just like Musk Sticks (candy). It’s decidedly pink and pretty, I adore it.

I love this so much. So special. I’ve never understood why people say beautiful on a fragrance, but the first sentence that got out of my mouth when I tried it was omg it’s so beautiful! I feel the saffron that most, it gives such a unique touch to the fragrance. To me it’s floral, bright floral, but so special because of the saffron. Smells like beautiful confidence women

Am I the only one who is getting Guerlain Rose Cherie from this?? So much so that I considered maybe they sent me the wrong sample. It’s a sweet, almost medicinal rose. I am not getting the tangerine, but maybe if I smell hard I can get the whiff of leather. Either way, I LOVE this. I just ordered Rose Cherie, but as an idiot, I will probably buy this too.

It smells to me like an old leather purse that has a packet of parma violets and rose soap in it. And I love that haha 😄 Easiest review ever. Not sure if men would like this but I wouldn't complain if my man wore it. This was a free sample from sopost but I'll definitely buy a bottle soon for sure!!! Beautiful blend.

Oh, this is beautiful. I can imagine giving a bottle of this to a person in the 1920s, and telling them it's from the 2020s and seeing how they respond. A little bit goes a long way.

This is so sexy and blended so smooth! Rose, cassis, vanilla and leather all dancing in harmony! So alluring because its not over complicated. Bold and confident.

This perfume is a mood! I feel like a bad-ass when I wear this, complete with a leather jacket and boots on a crisp cold day!

A really beautiful fragrance, surprised by the bad reviews. Elegant and perfect for a romantic evening

Beauty signature scent worthy, I’d amouage lyric man and le labo rose 31 had a baby this would be it

Just wow! I wasn't expecting this... And I am shocked at the low ratings, but I should have got used to it... As I have different taste than the majority. I have a sample of Lil' Fleur. My relation with Byredo brand is.... Italian marriage 😄. So I always hold my breath when sampling something new from them. I own Bal'd Afrique (winter), La Tulipe (spring), Sundazed (summer) and Bibliotheque (autumn). I love them all. Now, Lil' Fleur opens fizzy, spicy, bubbly, like you have a glass of champagne or Coca-Cola underneath your nose. And then comes the flower. Maybe more flowers. I would have never guessed that this was the rose, because I feel something different. Exotic, slightly sweet, tart sour flowers. For the first hour, the scent was oscillating between La Tulipe, Pulp, and Oud Immortelle - yes, you definitely feel a smoke, fresh greenness and ripe fruit. I just breathed and experienced the scent. I felt that this was not similar to anything. While I appreciated the difference of the creation, I was not enchanted. Later, the scent developed to something very pleasant, so I guessed that the perfume liked me. I felt that underlying tart, green vanilla and then Kilian's Princess joined the walk. Or Hermes Twilly Ginger? Or both? There was this cooling and pinching, minty, gingery, galangal-y facet. Really great! Because it is 30°C at home at the moment, and probably 45 outside. I smell also a salty water. I see there's ambergris, so it makes sense. Now my like meter went from 3/5 to 4,5/5. It is sooo interesting, so unique, and... EDGY. Luckily I don't feel any leather, because that would be a home run 🏃♀️. Now I smell the Princess, PdM Delina, Ouai Melrose Place and Guerlain Angelique Noire combination. Yes, at the same time! 😳 I get that some reviewers got this artificial sweet note, but no-no, it is caused by cassis, saffron and tangerine, which are fizzy, bubbly, sour and tart. And that effervescent, mint-ginger cooling facet. I don't mind these here, because I don't have that association. Definitely Lil' Fleur is nothing I have smelled before and it takes you quite on a journey ✈️💐. ENJOY 🎉🎂👍

I've just found a sample of this among the many free ones I have in my drawer while looking for a different one. I saw the name and went "Byredo?!" coz I've never tried any of their perfumes before. I was really excited to try it but I wasn't sure if I liked it at first. I like the opening, it's a fizzy rose and tangerine but then it starts smelling a bit weird. This is the first leather perfume I've tried and it actually smells like I've sprayed some sort of rose scent onto a leather jacket. I didn't think a leather note was gonna be literal like that, I don't know what I expected tbh. Something about it in the mid reminds me of a perfume I smelled growing up, Sunflowers By Elizabeth Arden or something. It took me a while to figure out what it reminded me of but I think it's that just with added leather. It's not exactly like it but there's just something that really reminds me of it but I can't put my finger on it. I've heard the perfumes from this house can be quite weak but this seems quite strong. I do like it but I'd have to see if I liked it after wearing it all day but up to now I definitely think I'd wear it. It's quite unusual and I like unusual perfumes. The leather has grown on me. It'd be good to wear with an actual leather jacket. I can imagine myself wearing a cute dress, docs or trainers, and a leather jacket to go out for a drink on a summers night in a beer garden when it's still light at 9pm. Maybe not for a date, it's not a full on sexy scent but for drinks and food with friends. It could totally work for a daytime scent too though. It is very synthetic smelling but I don't mind that. It kinda smells like the inside of a car with leather seats and a strong hanging airfreshner. I can see why lots of people don't like it but I would love a full bottle of this. Maybe next summer I will.
