Fleur de Liane

This is so beautiful, even those who normally do not care for green may enjoy it. I would say this is unisex leaning toward feminine due to the moderate dose of floral notes. It eventually settles into a green magnolia which may be too feminine for a lot of guys. But I certainly wouldn't have a problem with smelling this on a man. Fleur de Liane starts out pretty full on green but not overwhelming as some of the greens can be. There is no nose burning forest bomb or anything. It smells pleasant straight from the bottle. It settles down into a nice green floral. It smells extremely natural. If you closed your eyes and smelled it you would probably think there were flowers and greenery nearby. Seriously, it smells completely real and natural. I would wear this year round. It isn't a "summer only" green by any means. It would smell great in the dead of winter as it has a hint of evergreen. Fleur de Liane is a one of my new favorites. Now I wish I had purchased the 3.4 instead of the 1.7 when I had the chance. I seriously did not expect to like this as much as I do. Now let me hurry back and see if they have any of the big ones left.....:)

Fleur de Liane is one compelling fragrance. Duchaufour creates a scent dedicated to the sinuous rainforest vines of the liana and in the process contributes a humid, succulent green scent that begins as a sober aquatic but quickly shifts into thick stems, oversized shiny leaves, and plants pregnant with sap and phloem. It's lushness brings to mind the mirror globules of moisture on bright green surfaces, the flavor of aloe vera juice, and the scent of peculiar orchids that I've smelled in hothouses. I also detect what reminds me of the scent of Yulan magnolia on a warm spring day. A milky, musky dry down somehow brings to mind bamboo in the mist. Sadly, I've all but given up finding a bottle of Fleur de Liane that is going for under 500 US dollars on the resale market. It's certainly a delight, but not worth that much money. I do have other fragrances in my library that fill this niche (Xinu Monstera, Ulrich Lang Apsu, Cacharel Eden, and Duchaufour's own Eau d'Italie Magnolia Romana).

Wonderfully fresh, and truly resembles salty ocean winds. Slightly bitter, a tad floral - some unusual blend, not the typical tuberose scent. Refreshing and not that aquatic (pure aquatic in my book is not a good thing), only enough to evoke sea voyage memories. After pondering over my reasons to like this scent despite its aquatic notes, I decided that FdL's bitterness saves it for me. Aquatic is perfectly balanced by the smell of young willow or ash's shoot with scratched off bark when you smell it straight away. Another scent from nature I've always liked and wanted to find in a perfume. If someone would recreate the smell of young resinous poplar buds, I'll be in olfactory heaven.

This smells of the neck of my babies where the milk has seeped into the folds of skin.Mixed in with the floral Scent of Johnsons Asian Baby baths and clean babygro and sweaty but clean skin.We lived in Hong Kong at the time and I can smell the heat and humidity and the ocean breeze off the pacific just outside our window ,along with my milky sanitised babies. It's absolutely full bottle worthy but disastrously discontinued.

I find, it's a beautiful tuberose, some waterflower, and something like pitahaya and banana, fruity green, dripping of humidity in the air. it's also quite cold and leafy although a creamy effect warms it up (the woods in base). whenever I spray it, it creates the picture of lush, damp jungle trees with lots of thick brushwood and small seldom symbiotic (or even parasitic, but beautiful) flowers.

I have a 50ml bottle I use sparingly because of the price, and I know that when I wear it, people around enjoy it. They have remarked to me what an unusual and terrific scent it. Good things happen for me when I wear it... :)

This is Beautiful!! A modern green,flowery aquatic. It makes me feel like I'm strolling down a path through a meadow in Maine on a cool, "dewy", spring day. Surrounded by cottages and sunshine and Lighthouses.

I do believe that Fleur de Liane is a little bit underestimated whereas some other fragrances - in the same collection - are quite over considered, probably too much also..... and I can't change my mind even though I'm aware that they are the best-sellers in the family! Let's start looking a little bit close to this lovely (for me) fragrance; first of all, let's consider its lightness that can avoid banality or 'chill penury'... 'Greeen' is the very first impression which comes to your mind and on this note/colour all the construction is built up while adjoining some variations to enrich it. Some reviewers say about 'tropics' and 'water sensation' and I do agree with them BUT.... I would also add that - now the game becomes interesting- the floral components come to contributes wjth a gentle touch and to make it 'sweeter' although no SUGAR is here added. F. de L. it's not (LOL and super LOL a gourmand frag!)This is a peculiar frag (it really cannot remind me any other ones) which stands quite close to you BUT on the same time it doesn't go unnoticed. Difficult also say when to use it!, I've used it even in winter... in spring and of course in the summer. Strange but true, it was even 'right' during different seasons. It's a fragrance that can be loved and used even by those people (I'm one of the pack!) who adore COMPLICATED frags, SO let's give a rest to our nose, sometimes! p.s. Although it can be absurd talking of 'sillage' in this case, do not forget its good tenacity, anyway ; )

This isn't really the most exciting perfume to me. Aquatics always smell like melon on my skin, and Fleur de Liane is no exception. Luckily I like melon. It goes on the skin as a fresh and somewhat tangy aqua/green/melon, quickly followed by a whisper of soft florals. It's not easy to pick out individual floral notes, but I think magnolia comes out on my skin the most. Considering it contains tuberose, Fleur de Liane a quiet skin scent, not overpowering in the least. Oakmoss finally appears after an hour or so, and it's extremely light, almost transparent. I don't think it's as unique as I expected it to be. It smells like many aquatic perfumes, but perhaps of higher quality. Unless you are a perfume enthusiast like some of us are, I don't think anyone will be able to distinguish between this and an Acqua di Gio type of perfume. I am disappointed by the translucent oakmoss. Oakmoss is the reason I purchased blindly, I'm a sucker for it. I do get *a bit* of a jungle vibe from this. It's green and fresh, especially in the first several minutes. But for the Garden of Eden effect, my favorite is Fig Tree by Sonoma Scent Studio. Fleur de Liane is more beachy to me than rainforest or jungle. For many people who are into aquatics, it would be lovely for daily use. I myself would probably only use this on a scorching hot day during the summer.

Immersive experience with fragrance. Moist and cool, green and white flowers with moisture. Smell it from a distance, it feels good, and it becomes a little bad when you get close. The slow flow of water did not take away the magnolia petals that had fallen on the water, which were already somewhat rotten. The fragrance is truly lifelike, perfectly replicating the smell of ponds, wetlands, parks after rain, and it's exactly the same. So -- it could be a rainforest, or any place in the world that has water. Give people a kind of motivation to find the source of life. I remember occupying the tip of my nose, the very raw, fishy smell of green leafy juice after rain. Probably just stepped on. Then it is dominated by rain-saturated moss and rain-washed magnolias. If only the degree of restoration, Fleur de Liane reminds me of Lys Mediterranee. Different locations, similar situations.

To me it is a beach scent...except not the touristy type filled with cocktails and suntan lotion, but the wild and barely explored one...I get lots of greenery as if I walked through a dense sub-tropical forest to get to the beach, lots of saltiness and a hint of florals to balance the composition. I reach for it during summer when I feel like something different, even during hot and humid days this scent is very calming and not overpowering at all. It lasts quite well in hot weather too, I get about 6 hours out of it.

This one opens with green and fresh/water/aqua and a bit of melon. After about an hour, the melony sweetness fades, leaving a green/watery-wet scent that makes me feel like I'm in bathroom with ferns in the window and someone's just taken a hot soapy shower. It's clean, green, pretty enough. Like all L'Artisan perfumes, it's complex and interesting. I could see someone loving this. It's a bit too clean for me, though. I don't get much woodsiness from this - which is a shame, because I think I'd like it more if I did.

Very, very green. Probably the greenest fragrance I've ever smelled; like the smell when you cut the stem of a flower, and you also feel the scent of the water that the flower has been standing in. The watermelon rind comparison is very accurate too! Not the kind of fragrance I'm usually in the mood for, but I wouldn't say no to having a small amount of it, for the days when I feel like a really fresh perfume, but more original than, say, Light Blue.

I live in a city has rainny season 2 times a year, its the perfect one for those clammy wetty days,it give me fresh air make me think of the grasses just after rainning. Idl to use it in those days, feels like im in the part of environment.

This is exactly the scent I imagine when I think of green floral! I've tried a lot of them, and until now Jacomo's Silences was the only one I really liked. I have only a sample of it, but will be getting a fb as soon as possible.

A cool, crisp and clean green acquatic. Opens very watery and green with hints of bright magnolia and a creamy white floral component resting on a light woody base. Very fresh, soothing and perfect for spring.

I Like this! Very green floral like I did not expected... I am thinking about amazonian where I am Tarzan in the jungle! This one is more feminine in my opinion... 7/10

Sorry to say it was a total disappointment... The top notes are pleasant enough (green melon!), but they disappear without a trace after something like 5 sec and then the suffocating flower combo kicks in (if this is a "light version" of tuberose I am scared to smell a "full" one...) and last for about an hour. In the end I got a soapy-pine smell which reminds me strongly of a pine bubble bath of my childhood in my then-sowiet-satellite country. As much as I loved the copious amonts of bubbles it produced I really do not want to smell like a cheap toiletry product of the ancieme regime... And it doesn't remind me of Magnolia Romana, not a bit. Magnolia Romana is an elegant, discreet, and slightly soapy-floral fragrance and not a suffocating, flower-pine bomb.

Big dissapointment, was hoping for a bitter green electric shock. What I got was a sticky mellon bomb. Opens quite sweet and with a big melon hit - I can kinda see how this might be interpereted as green to some but I just read it as melon. After a bit the melon gives way a little bit and the green leaf gets more apparent. But honestly this is much sweeter than I expected, much more synthetic and cheep smelling than I expected and just not worth keeping for me. Drydown is a generic fresh floral. Overall the melon open and boring end make this one of my worst blind buys to date. Not the bitter green steams and sap I expected. ⛤⛤

This is a lovely, fresh, clean scent. The green, watery, woodsy notes give it a refreshing, tending slightly masculine effect, even with the delicate magnolia peeking through, giving it a unique flavor. This is an ideal tuberose to try for people seeking a "safe" or "intro" tuberose because (at least on my skin) it hardly intrudes into the picture at all. This is not to detract from FdL. Indeed not every perfume with tuberose in it needs to be completely dominated by it.
