Baiser Volé Eau de Parfum Fraîche

Ok, it's about time I added my review of this as it is my signature! I have been putting it off as I didn't feel I could do it justice! I am still relatively new to the world of perfumes and I have discovered that I very much enjoy a soliflore. I love the simplicity, purity classy yet uncomplicated nature of these perfumes, I must be one of the few people who enjoys perfumes that are the opposite of their personality! I tried B.V. EDP in House of Fraser and the first sniff was so evocative I was instantly transported to my kitchen, cutting the stems of a bunch of lillies to put in a vase! Perhaps not terribly romantic but it was the first time a scent has actually tugged at my consciousness and transported me anywhere! The next day I tried the fraiche version by accident and loved it even more, the original has a strong, slightly spiced warmth to it whereas this has a fresh almost aquatic feel, reminiscent of the water the lillies have been placed in. I have always been a sucker for "fresh" fragrances since my youth, like Lancome Oui and DKNY so this is a winner for me. Having said that I clearly love all of the B.V. range and my intent is to get the whole range, with the pricey extract hopefully next. If you love lillies this is exactly what you get. For two hours I can smell this perfume quite strongly, after that I would have to lift my scarf or clothes to my nose to smell it, however it is so lovely I will just reapply, even just to smell it freshly again. Importantly I am not tired of this after two months of wear and intend to buy up all available bottles until I go broke Fresh, classy, pure and simple.Love.

I have the entire collection, as I really love them all (except for the EDT that I, paradoxically, used to dislike), but despite of the concept - that I truly love and understand (i.e. a fraiche view upon the EDP) - in fact I did not find any reason for the existence of this alternative. For me it is almost (and I say almost) identical to the EDP. So I gave it to my daughter who loves it very much (she also loves the entire collection, but I wouldn't allow her to touch it :-))). And yes, I myself use it once in a while... :-) Much gratitude, Mathilde Laurent ! _()_ PS - I would suggest the touch of MINT (layering, for eg., with Herba Fresca Guerlain) - I feel the two match perfectly together for the Spring.

I love the green notes and the early-morning-dewey-fresh Lilly. Clean, elegant and very womanish. A bit fresher then original Baiser Vole and absolutely worth a try. Perfect all year, I think. Jag älskar de gröna noterna och den morgon-daggiga-fräscha Liljan. Ren, elegant och otroligt kvinnlig. Lite fräschare än originalet Baiser Vole och absolut värd ett försök. Perfekt året runt tycker jag.

This is lovely and unique. Original scent white floral mixed with green notes done well. It's long lasting and non offensive.

I had the misfortune of testing this a couple of days ago, gross doesn't begin to describe it. Could not wait to rush home and wash it off.

Simple Lily but not of the Valley, just regular lily. Very green and harsh spicy. Spicy indeed, that is all I am left with.

08.november 2015 Just tried it at the airport tax free, i even didnt know this existed. I have the regular one on one wrist and "fraiche" version on the other. Nothing much to write about, its basically the same "baiser vole" EDT but starts out more greener in the opening which does not last much (less than 30min) and then becomes an almost non-existant basic EDT. If only they would make those opening notes last, then i would be more interested, but still the EDP, extract and Lys versions are the best! Will pass on this one, i still prefer my perfume to be detectable and last. Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every review should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.

This fragrance is beautiful in every way. It comes in a lovely pink box with a red ribbon and white flowers attached. The bottle is pink too, and elegant. The sprayer is incorporated into the fixed top - no worries about losing bottle caps. The fragrance is beautiful, and celebrates the lily. It's unfortunately a little too sweet and powdery for my personal taste - I like very green fragrances that are a little on the bitter side. I can, however appreciate this, and I'll wear it sometimes. Longevity and sillage are both excellent!

It is not me, talkative and confidently jealous
