Le Bouquet Absolu

I just bought this so these are my first impressions. The opening on paper was superb so I wanted to try it on my skin. And it was even more amazing! Strong, authentic flowers, like smelling the loveliest bouquet of flowers. It made me feel positive, ambitious and energetic.. And that moment I had decided to buy it. It was flowers, flowers and flowers, mostly white with a lightest hint of rose. I kept smelling my wrist. It started dry down and the best excitement started to fade. With some imagination I can now smell hint of musk and vanilla. The dry down turned out to be quite generic and nothing too special or amazing. But good for a daily scent to cheer oneself. Even though dry down was a slight disappointment, I'm happy I got it. Now I have been wearing it for a few hours or so, and I still can smell it, not too strong but still. At the moment it's feminine, playful and somehow stubborn. So, for it's price (I got a discount) I'll be delighted to wear it this spring. Update: Ok, now I have been using this for some time. It must be the juniper note that gives this the amazing kick I love. It really makes this to stand out from the countless of basic flower perfumes. It is what makes it a little wild, a little edgy - but not in a obvious way. Little like having a tattoo under your office clothing... Like wearing something acceptable but still being loyal to yourself. So I definitely find this to be better than any average floral mainstream perfume. It will be my number one work and school perfume, since I need something that I can wear in those situation but what is still somehow personal and little edgy. I don't know why, but it really energizes me and gives me positive mood! So: pure goodness and nicely crafted scent! On my skin it also stays better than average, even if exercise. It gets closer to the skin but I can still smell it even after nearly ten hours.

Bouquet absolu is absolutely difficult to find,for this reason and also because I adore it's notes my hands and my nose was itching for it,so After passing challenges of finding a bottle,I blind bought it It is very pretty,a lovely floral bouquet,mostly jasmine,also some rose and neroli,and to my pleasure there is a very creamy,delicately sweet strawberry blended with this floral bouquet ,making it playful,more sparkling and feminine and youthful It's dry down feels softly creamy and clean.florals are the most important players but they're not heavy,it's fruity undertone doesn't make it very fruity and while being tender and veryyy pretty it has character Wearing it is a delight for me,it makes me feel cheerful and pretty.it's tiny bottle matches it's scent greatly,delicately pink but also glamourous It was a very good blind buy,very likable and wearable specially for spring and summer,Longevity is moderate,4-5 hours at it's best.sillage is almost moderate too,but it's noticeable for whom is close enough and I've already received lovely comments P.s:it reminds me issey miyake pleats please l'eau (the green one) with an added strawberry twist Edit:after using more than 30mil of my precious bottle,I can see that it's more than just a pretty and girly common perfume.it's very well balanced and while I still find it very youthful,I can see that it's easily wearable by all age groups. For someone who's looking for a lovely and romantic fragrance,something easily wearable for a lot of different occasions,easy to like and non offensive and at the same time not boring and not similar to hundreds or others,this can be a great signature

This smells absolutley stunning- it smells like spring,it smells like youth and it makes you happy just wearing it. The magic of this perfume, for me is that the jasmine, juniper, rose and strawberry mix perfectly but also you can always smell every component seperatly. I Imagine that if someone would make a bouque for me and put it in a basket of strawberries this is how the flowers would smell- and that is gorgeous. There is a hint of musk here but just enough to make this perfume a ltitle more sophisticated and it does not make the fragrance heavy at all. I was looking for a light perfume in the spring time and went hunting with my boyfriend, I have to give this one to him, after half an hour of "meh..." and "no that's not it" he emerged from the shelves with pure confidence and showed me this "this one is perfect, suit's you!" he said. And sure enough for men this is the smell that reminds them of the sweet lively feminine girls they like to fall in love with :) But some things are simply too good to be true, the sillage and longevity are almoust non-exsistant, at least on me. I had to spray it on me every hour and someone has to get real close to you to smell it - only a hug or a kiss will do. But this still is a great perfume and as long as I can smell my wrist it is worth every penny!

Hoy pasé por una perfumería y pude probarlo. En el 1er snif, sentí unas rosas no muy fuertes, tampoco sintéticas, acompañadas de jazmin pero sin predominar este último. También había una nota fresca que supongo que era la bergamota. Lo dejé reposar un par de horas, la intensidad disminuyó bastante (supe que no me iba a durar más que 3 o 4 horas), el bouquet seguía estando, no varió mucho, pero seguía con un equilibrio dinámico entre las flores muy agradable, a veces resaltaba levemente el jazmin, otras veces la rosa. Al finalizar la tarde casi no se sentía nada, pero fueron unas 4 horas muy agradables, perfecto para día - tarde o noche si es en un lugar cerrado con pocos olores invasivos como el tabaco, ya que no tiene mucha presencia. Acá en Argentina es invierno y personalmente los perfumes cítricos - florales en temperaturas frías mi piel (mixta a seca) no las retiene por mucho tiempo :( De todos modos, recomendable!! De las fragancias con rosas, una de mis favoritas!!

It smells like Tieguanyin. It's gentle, it fades quickly, but it's very relaxing and I want to smell it forever. I was really sad that it was limited item and I've been looking for a few years to find a dupe, as it's my signature scent. The only one I've found with a similar vibe was L'Artisan's La chasse aux Papillons, but I recently bought TF Jasmine Rouge and feel much closer to the soft, creamy, shimmering jasmine scent. The difference is that Le bouquet absolu is musky and clean for daytime and jasmine rouge is sweet and sexy for evening, but I like them both. Le bouquet absolu that I have is not the same scent as I remember and I am disappointed when I wear it. I'll give up trying to find a dupe and go for Jasmine Rouge from now on.

Inicia con el neroli y la fresa, de forma muy brillante, luego comienza el jazmín, un jazmín con un toque cremoso y enseguida la rosa que apenas se asoma. Al pasar el tiempo todo se mezcla perfecto, la fresa y el jazmín son lo que siempre andan rondando, el neroli y la rosa le dan mucha frescura, pero se sienten de fondo; en fin, que a mi me ha encantado. Este y Catch Me de cacharel, son del tipo de perfumes que me puedo poner sin problema, sin pensarlo, son como un comodín, son muy femeninos, duraderos, delicados. Su proyección es moderada, y su duración unas 8 horas. He notado con el tiempo, que los perfumes que tienen rosa y jazmín son los que más me gustan.

Just purchased this perfume. I was smitten from the first whiff which enveloped me in a beautiful burst of wild strawberry... a pleasant and exuberant surprise! Then it took over my senses going from creamy to a rich rose floral...surprisingly clean then to romantic! The dry down went from youthful sweet to downright classy with a touch of unexpected whimsical, spontenaity. The juxtaposition of the very different but perfectly composed notes make this a lovely fragrance for someone who is looking for a romantic yet playful, sexy fragrance. What I appreciated most about Le Bouquet Absolu is that there is NO chemical or synthetic smell.

This was given to me by a man who would be my unrequited love in college. This perfume is a beautiful floral for me who has never been one to think I liked florals. It is the fragrance of my unrequited love, almost requited by the beautiful gift of this fragrance. I use this fragrance sparingly as it is as mysterious and unattainable as the man who I once loved. I spray it on my pillow and dream of younger days when the world still felt beautiful.

Le Bouquet Absolu is absolutely beautiful!!! Divine! I was given it by a dear dear friend, and I feel completely privileged to have it. It's so special. Such lovely rose, and jasmine, and beautiful musk, and sweet berries - it's all perfect!! So romantic and enticing, and so loved by my husband and friends too, I love wearing it. It makes me feel so precious! So beautiful!!!

What a treat! Fresh strawberries with cream, and a light floral aroma. I usually don't like smelling like anything edible, but this is so comforting and delicious, and has a well-balanced sweetness. LBA smells like a promise that everything is going to be OK. It is innocent and reminds me of being a child without being childish. I enjoy it very much.

it was very reasonable price and i bought before tested.very soft lovely and classy floral,i think pure rose and lily oil but not heavy,at first very similar with dior lily-cant find database opaque pink bottle-after a few hours smells orange juice wint hint tiny strawberry.sillage good,smells good i fell good,loveable for spring time.

This perfume is very pleasant and long-lasting (over 8 hours). I could smell the delightful vanilla orchid rose and musk notes dominating with a hint of juniper in the background, giving it a floral-slightly earthy scent. Another example of Givenchy perfection. Recommended for anyone, any age.

Hey smellME!! I think this fragrance its nothing like RL Blue...Le bouquet its such a bomb of flowers, fresh, feminine and with a lot of glamour, and Blue is fresh in other way, with citruses, grass and flowers, nothing to compare with...

This smells sooo good! It reminds me of a popular fragrance from the 1980s like anise by cacharel or glroia Vanderbilt but with a 2011 twist. Received a sample and just purchased a 1.7 bottle

It was almost a niche by Givenchy. I don't understand why they didn't promote it more! It was dainty and sweet. Perfect for younger girls.

Light, pretty and not too sweet. Gently romantic and wonderful to smell. The dry-down is very faint though. Still very lovely.

I adore, adore, absolutely adore this perfume, and the bottle, and the colour. Oh my God it's beeeaaauuuutiful!!!!!

Tried it today. Very glad that I did. It has reminded me a lot of my favorite Extravagance. A LOT!!! Lovely!!!!

Sparkling and pretty - very captivating bouquet. Just wish it would last a little longer.

I've recently opened up mine. First of all, I notice that it is the same flacon as Dance with Givenchy, the cap is black instead of transparent, I'm not sure it`s the same perfume (although the campaign seems different). Maybe there is some cost cutting going on in Maison Givenchy. As to the fragance itself, it`s a very nice flower bouquet, yes there are roses and a little bit of citrus, very light. I agree, it makes you smile, lifts up your day, specially in hot summer days. Also, unfortunately the perfume does not stay a great deal on my skin, I'll probably have to use it more than once a day.
