Fleur

Am I misguided to think this is L'eau D'issey just a bit less synthetic? Maybe the Melon Water Lilly combo. This one doesn't scream as much. I loved L'eau D'issey when I was 23 but somehow anytime I seriously considered buying it some career driven woman or other whose personality I rather disliked wore it as a statement fragrance. I started to wonder why I liked it and what they thought L'eau D'issey communicated. To me it had a sense of adventure. Floris' Fleur is aquatic but without turning sour on my skin after 5 min. It is not a statement fragrance rather something privately comforting, when you want a day to yourself, walking through a beautiful city at the peak of summer, a clean, uncomplicated fragrance that uplifts, and cheers you on a day-time adventure - this is perfect! Am a bit sad that the fruits don't outlast the opening stage. The Lily of the Valley becoming more dominant with drydown has good lasting power though and makes it also a favourite study fragrance - clearing my thoughts and harmonising perception!

I have been a random user of Fragrantica for some time now and definitely not any pro with perfumes, but now I just had to register to say a big and warm Thank You to all of You whom recommended Fleur Floris for us who are deeply missing Cacharel’s Eau d’Eden. I ordered a sample and tested it, and WOW! Instantly was carried away to those happy times of my young adulthood. It is amazing how similar Fleur Floris is to Eau d’Eden. I love it. It is so feminine, so fresh and so very delicate. Now I am at my 40’s, and it still ”fits” even though I was much younger when had my first bottle of Eau d’Eden - it is not that usual for me that a perfume or a scent keeps it’s magic through the years. Or maybe Fleur Floris is more adult ”version of Eau”? Unfortunately there is no way for me to compare these two thoroughly since the last drops of Eau have faded away quite a long time ago (please, please bring Eau d’Eden back!) Anyway, I will definitely buy a full-sized Fleur to complete my not-so-big collection of floral perfumes.

I'm not sure why this has received negative reviews. I found this to be the most exquisite floral fragrance ever. True, if you do not like florals you will not like this. But a floral lover will appreciate the beautiful notes, as this is definitely a quality fragrance and the scent smells rich and pure. I was hesitant to try this as the melon note listed was a turn off, but this fragrance is definitely more floral than fruity. It's a light, daytime fragrance that is appropriate for women of all ages.

This is the first scent I used regulary. It's a wonderful, subtle EDT that just reminds me of a meadow covered with flowers in spring. I'd recommend it for daily use at office or school, because it's not overpowering at all, you won't offense anybody with wearing it. The only con is that it doesn't last very long and after about three years of wearing it, I got so used to it that I have trouble smelling it at all.

If you’re looking to replicate your previous indulgence with Cacharel Eau d’Eden, look no further. A remarkable fragrance on its own, a real summer and daily wear stunner, but it is exactly like Eau d’Eden to my nose. For those that associate magical memories, possibly of your youth, with Eau d’Eden, this will rocket you back to those heady days. Instantly. Just beautiful.
