Fleur de Narcisse

my first favorite perfume! it had white tobacco~ i'm curious about what is white tobacco scent

This is perfume shouldn't be applied to your body but only very sparingly to your wrists, otherwise it is too potent!

Sweet memories of a weird childhood friend.

Thanks to a fantastic swapper, I got a sample of this one-unfortunately it has no hope on my skin! I have had a craving lately for the narcisse note in fragrances-a flower that compares to no other, and embodies a lovely bright spring season. Unfortunately, this is syrupy sweet. Where's the narcissus? Drowned in sugar-or even saccharine! I don't really smell anything besides sweetness with a clear artificial idea of narcisse masquerading in grand sillage. Leather? Oakmoss? Iris? Wouldn't they lend more smoothness, bitterness, even soapiness, to give it some, any nuance? I am glad I don't test unfamiliar fragrances when I have to go to work-this would have been a disaster to wear out. I wanted to try this edition as I thought it was supposed to be milder than Narcisse by Chloe...Oh well, it's been discontinued anyway-I'll just keep looking.

Chloe or cloying? Wow, for an EDC this stuff is both potent and overwhelmingly sweet. It's interesting that removing the small amount of bitter from the parent composition has turned this into a floral popsicle. It's mild in the sense of not a lot of notes but not in the sense of any kind of subtlety. Must. brush. teeth. Projection: intrusive Duration: scrubbed after 2 hours Fabulousness: was Paris Hilton a consultant? Value to Price ratio: meh 2/10

I dont like this oneone either.Mild,too floral smells like a knockoff.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Narcisse is my signature and I've worn and adored it for 5 years, and so frequently as of late that I've unfortunately developed anosmia to it, which may affect my analysis of the fragrance. Fleur de Narcisse is almost identical to my vintage Chloe Narcisse EDT circa the late 1990s (Parfums International), which I initially thought had turned due to the strange accord I'll describe soon. It possesses Narcisse DNA, but is far less heavy on the pitted fruits and is dominated by a bittersweet waxy accord that I can only describe as reminiscent of honeyed hay or tobacco with a slight lipstick/makeup vibe (could be marigold). My nose isn't trained enough to decipher what it is exactly and the anosmia I'm dealing with is certainly affecting the potency and my ability to discern individual notes. I'll update this review after taking a break from Narcisse for a week or two, allowing myself to fully experience and appreciate the fragrance again. What I'll say for now is that if you're concerned with Narcisse being "ruined" by reformulation, don't be. It's possible my bottle was stored incorrectly, but I don't believe the vintage ages well and I find the modern formula to be much more complex, floral and potent.

The description above is accurate- this is an almost gourmand frag. The notes, however, seem odd. I don't detect any if them! In a side-by-side comparison between CN and CFdN, CFdN has a brief, 30 second alcohol and bitter opening, and then jumps right to peach, pineapple, apricot, with just a touch of spicy carnation and paperwhite. CN, on the other hand, remains spicy and bitter for quite a while before drying down to the fruitier aspects. I personally prefer CN for the complexity and nuance of the scent. But CFdN is pretty, fruity, juicy, sweet, and easy to wear. I find it very girlish, with an almost lipstick-like undertone. Sillage for both are huge, but CN lasts much longer. I recommend CFdN for those who find the original difficult to wear, and who enjoy fruity, juicy scents. Unlike the original, CFdN seems like it would be a safe blind buy.

I had the original Chloe Narcisse back in high school, I wore it to my prom. So many good memories from that smell. I found a mini of Fleur de Narcisse and I'm pleased to say it's quite similar. The difference seems to be that CN is a bit thicker, heavier on the spice and fruit notes. FdN on the other hand, goes straight to the floral stage, which the original takes several hours to reach. It's still a thick sweet floral and I wish more perfumes did a narcissus (daffodil) accord, as it is so gorgeous. Very pretty bottle as well... the sillage is excellent, you only need a tiny amount at a time. Would recommend to lovers of daffodil, mimosa and generally people who love sweet florals that are unique. I really have not smelled anything else like these two perfumes.

Not a review, just an observation: As I was searching Fragrantica for a good Narcissus perfume, I noticed that Chloe Fleur De Narcisse (1994) and L'Artisan Fleur De Narcisse (2006) are both made by Anne Flipo and have the exact same identical notes (PLUS Chloe FdN also has peach, pineapple, gardenia, carnation, and vanilla, so basically more fruit & spice.) So if you are on a wild-unicorn hunt for either of these two discontinued lovelies, you might want to broaden your hunt to include the other one as well. They're not going to be exactly the same of course but from the looks of it, I think it's safe to assume there will be a strong similarity. cross-posted.

It's a sweet powdery floral. I never had anything with narcissus before, so I like it. The bottle and box are lovely, they do have a certain 80s vibe which normally I am not crazy for, but somehow this isn't loud enough to become unpleasant like many from that time. It's quite long lasting and strong for a cologne, more like an edp. Yellow floral with something syrupy, definitely not aquatic. Very feminine, a little heavy, just like I was expecting looking at the color of the liquid inside, which is dark orange. I think it would work for fall and winter... despite the fact fact that narcissus is a spring flower. I like it!

I was thinking that my favorite perfume in my younger years was the first one but after looking at the reviews im thinking it might have been this one because i liked fresher scents ive got to get this one...does anyone know what year this came out curious because i would have worn this in the 1986 - to 1990 when i graduated im dieing to figure out which one i wore in that time period!!! Thanks

YSL Libre Intense is an updated version of this fragrance. This was my grandmother's signature scent in the 90s, so when I smelled Libre, the DNA immediately brought me to Chloe.

Sharp, astute smell of narcissus. As Narcissus it wants to return on self without break note. It is really beautiful, strong, but, unfortunately -a bit crucifying.

At first wear, I can't tell the difference between this perfume and narcissus. I'll do a wrist by wrist comparison and edit soon.

I am really curious about this one!! I love the original, if it's anything like it, I'll love this too! :-)

Smells like a Yankee laundry detergent candle then sweet white musk. Paralyzing for the nose. Good luck.

Someone just said this was discontinued ? ! Anyone know for sure ??

Perfume Rocks, this version came out in 2006.

I am going to find and buy this one!
