Fleur Éclair

Fleur Eclaire is french kiss WOW. This is a gourmand done in true Regime Des Fleurs fashion. Overall, this is a lovely floral gourmand, blended to the Gods. I appreciate RDF's dedication to using naturals because it makes risky blends like Fleur Eclaire work when I'm not sure it would otherwise. This frag is cozy and yummy while being light and airy at the same time. It's very unique. It opens with a STUNNING cocoa note that is carried through the middle layer, accompanied by some spiciness from the cardamom. The rose and jasmine give way to an unexpected but lovely floral compliment that somehow works very well. The patchouli and amber are pronounced in the dry down and conclude the journey of Fleur Eclaire. This perfume is exactly what I look for in fragrance - it's a journey. It's complex. A story unfolds on your skin. When I get to experience a journey with a perfume that also happens to smell yummy and delicious at the same - I'm in absolute heaven. Bonus points for the bottle too - it's the EPITOME of chic and timeless, and an ode to RDF's vintage philosophy. Longevity and silage are about what you'd expect. I like to reapply after about 3 to 4 hours. In my opinion, this fragrance is a MASTERPIECE. It's totally different from any other gourmand on the market and a daring piece of art. Rating: 10/10

Beautiful cacao butter and cocoa opening. It's my fave and what I fell in love with. The cacao and cocoa lasts a good 2 hours before it fades. The Jasmine Sambac is what I feel makes this smell very similar to Muglers Alien. I hate to compare it to that though because it's so beautiful and elegant vs Alien just gives a different vibe. The florals in this fragrance are beautiful, rich and even creamy. I don't get much orange blossom but definitely Patchouli. I love the cardamom. And after 2 hours it becomes just a sugary floral. Which is so pretty to me. I get about 6-7 hours of wear. It projects really well which is great however if you reapply to get more cacao or cocoa notes, you would run the risk of over spraying and at that point it could be headache inducing. This is a love and If I wanted more cocoa or cacao, I could layer it with something. But I respect not making this a full gourmand. This is exactly what I needed. As I do not like overly sweet, gourmand fragrances. Fleur Eclair gives me summer beachy vibes but could be a good all year around fragrance. Very unique and very appreciative of my full bottle purchase.

Hated this on paper upon first spray - all I got was tootsi rolls... However, on skin this is delicious. I think for anyone who finds Blanche Bete to be too milk-forward, this may work better. There's something very addictive about it - I can't stop huffing my arm + the scent trail is beautiful. Just a super lovely chocolately white floral. I definitely get the cardamom & rosewater as well. I usually don't like heavy white florals or particularly foodie/ rich dessert gourmands, but this strikes a perfect balance between dessert & floral. Edit: every time I reach for this, I always end up layering it with Diptyque L'Eau Papier, which I feel like softens & lightens this.

This is more of if a pastry was made of flowers and dusted with cocoa powder. This is light, airy, and effervescent. It’s if your Madeline cookie was flavored with white florals. It’s a breeze or whiff of a bakery and a flower shop that shares a building. This is so beautiful and romantic. Using the term gourmand can fill some with an inaccurate perception of what this “should be”. Regime Des Fleurs is as its namesake shows, is about flowers in all their facets and all their emotions that they evoke. I think this captures the airy quality of puffed pastry flavored with florals perfectly. Long wearing for such an airy fragrance. Full bottle worthy 10/10

oh wow this is amazing, start to finish. a gorgeous cocoa-rose scent that segues into the most opulent, heady, intoxicating jasmine. it's so warm and beautiful. the orange blossom makes it's super creamy and slightly sweet, but the jasmine really is the star player here. i don't get any stinkiness from the amber either, which makes it a winner in my book. 10/10 really impressed; the first scent i've tried from the brand and it's absolutely fantastic. definitely will be purchasing a full bottle, although they're especially dear in the UK!
