Fleur d'Eau

Rochas Fleur d'Eau is the benchmark standard Floral Aquatic by which so many others should be judged. Fleur d'Eau is crafted with old school attention to creating an experience and not just something to sell to the masses. I don't think this is for everyone but there are some aspects to it that make more suitable than so many others in this category. Musk and black currant/cassis can turn into rabid foul beasts on me but this is not so with Fleur d'Eau, they are well behaved with accent to the bouquet. The vetiver and sandalwood combine with the heliotrope to dry wafting sweet smells of fruit and develop a slightly nature to the water hyacinth. I love the amber note, although very subtle, it adds just a touch of sunshine glinting off the water to keep Fleur d'Eau from becoming too cold but still able to feel refreshingly cool. A note to those that do not like melon notes, of which I am one, I don't find this to be a standout here, it stays in the background for me blending in more greeness than overripe aroma. Silage on this one is actually fairly good for me, as is the longevity, even with my tendency to have fragrance eating skin. I love this one sprayed along my neck by the ears and a little at the wrists, that seems to do the trick to keep the scent alive for so long. This bottle arrived on a day that I was very ill, feverish and and almost out of it completely, but the package had come so far, all the way from Estonia to the States. I could not help myself but open it if it was with my last breath to do so. I sprayed a bit on and lay back down and basically passed out to awaken to the most lovely rosewater scent that helped to make the fever leave my thoughts. It's a special thing to feel like you smell good even when you feel like you are otherwise a pity. Thank you to fellow Fragrantican, "S", that arrived just in time to save my day with this unforgettable and generous gift. Tanan Vaga to S...

One of my firm faves, ever. Such a pity it`s discontinued and expensive now.. I got my very first bottle 15 years ago, and since then I must say so often it popped in my mind that I had to get it over and over again..Uplifting, fresh, a bit aqua, a bit green too, but most of all ozonic! Lotus and melon are quite dominant here, in a good way, not in a sweet or fruity but a fresh way. I even get a hint of lettuce or cucumber, something crisp like rose leaves or. The main player is lotus and water hyacinth without a doubt, any other note is only in support role..I noticed I have to respray once a day but that`s only because the fragrance itself is so light, therefore it`s a typical but not ordinary spring or summer scent for the daytime, refreshing and uplifting and makes me feel unique and feminine. LOVE.

I don't know how to describe this one very well, but I really like it! I got it as a present and asked for it again as I liked it so much. Very summery, very light, but interesting with it. Watery fresh floral, some kind of celery in there somewhere?? Would be my summer signature were it not for the fact is not available now. Lovely bottle as well. I got a gift set with a little turquoise backpack with 100ml bottle originally. Bring it back please Rochas? Although I know everyone says that about pretty much EVERY discontinued perfume, this one is irreplaceable!! Is prettier than Clinique Happy! Is a bit like Lancaster Sunwater too, but thats bye bye too and anyway this is better!

I can't describe how beautiful this fragrance is. The best word that comes to mind is... magical...? I know that seems so silly, but it's just such a indescribably fresh and bright scent - the prettiest and illuminating floral green I have worn. I'm hanging on my last 8~10ml of it and on the special days I do wear it, I'm excited but at the same time I feel a slight pain because I'm closer to having it all gone. Basically, I'm willing to sign a petition for it to be brought back. Rochas, I got you. Just why would you discontinue the greatest perfume ever made. Rochas, why?

Words fail to describe how great this fragrance is! The combination of notes are a perfect blend of florals, fruit and woods. The smell is just out of this world! If I was a celebrity and was given the opportunity to create my own fragrance I would be smart and would create something like this instead of another common/nasty vanilla/gourmand/fruitchouli mess. This has been discontinued for years and the prices on ebay are getting too high. Add to that the chances of getting a bottle that is either fake or spoiled. Rochas we are counting on you to bring this beauty back!

I bought a small vintage bottle of this to try, and it's becoming one of my favorite EDT's. My florals have to be very green and fresh, and this one suits perfectly! I'm not really getting any of the fruity top notes which is ok, but I'm getting a lot of hyacinth, lily of the valley, lotus and a little bit of rose. The scent stays 'green' on me all the way down to the sandalwood and vetiver - and it has excellent longevity for an EDT. The little bottle is lovely too. I will definitely be looking for more of this.

Incredibly I found a bottle of 50 ml. in an outlet that made the perfumery of muy town. What joy to have this fragrance again! The fragrance is so feminine, and the bottle is a piece of art too. It ́s so special that I decided to use it only on Sundays. Is a perfume to use when I'm with family and I can enjoy my daughter and my husband with this soft and fresh company. pd . I have to say that Dupont perfume is not a fair replacement.

This is the only perfume that I wear comfortably without offending anyone around. So lovely, light, green, floral, not very crisp or sour, just mild and feminine. Also does not have too strong marine or airy notes. I always want to have this one in my collection and still cannot believe that it is discontinued :-( this one always got the best compliments from people.

My husband bought this for me when it first came out.This is one of my favorites...too bad it's so hard to find now.I wore this to my sister's wedding and received so many compliments. I wear Fleur D'Eau in Spring & Summer...I do wish the scent lasted longer though,after a couple of hours I cannot smell a trace of it on myself.

A very beautiful gorgeous floral green. It's very light and fresh, a perfect summer scent!! Adorable but not that longlasting.I can't find this anywhere in Europe... BUT found it on Ebay! What were they thinking when they stopped making this!

What a beautiful perfume! reminds me so much of my childhood! modern, floral and green. Great for everyday use, and inoffensive office scent.

i had this perfume! its perfect! only the biggest minus was the *yes again* lastingpower! if this was stronger i'd bought it again for sure!

Its not a replacement but i think you can test "ST Dupont 58 avenue montagne" its light and feminine

I want this perfume back ! You can not replace it with another, is unique ! Gorgeous.

Still have 85% full bottle if anyone is interested. Just dm me

ิbring it back , pleaseeeeeeeeeee

I came across this one by accident and decided to chance a blind buy as I am currently smitten with floral green scents. I'm pleased to say that it was worth the risk. The first few sprays from my bottle showed evidence of some turning of the top notes, however thankfully after about five or six sprays this cleared and it now smells fresh. This is a juicy shower-fresh scent, stronger and smoother than more modern versions of floral greens. It has a lush hyacinth note and I can detect the melon amongst the other watery and soapy notes. It has medium longevity on me, probably lasting about 3 - 4 hours. The clean lush vibe works well in humid weather, so I'll get a lot of wear out of this during our long hot summers. Great perfume, quite unlike other modern Rochas varients I have tried.

This is a very pleasant, clean fragrance which smells ultra feminine and would be perfect to wear on a warm breezy day in a flowery sundress. Flowers are dominant and distinctive. Lily of the valley is just perfect as a layer of silky wood cradles it. This is not a severe green, just a casual, free flowing, not a care in the world green that is blended perfectly with an interesting fruit note. Its like being in a meadow and as the breeze picks up, it caresses you with a whisper of freshness. A young woman in love would wear this fragrance to shop for her wedding dress. It is happy and bright and for some reason I associate the color yellow to it. I agree with Jazzbirdsinger's review...Serenity in a bottle! It's nice!

This is an odd little fragrance ... FdE has lots of notes I dislike (melon, black currant etc) and yet I like it. A youthful offering from Rochas that reminds me of vintage Yves Rocher scents, many of which were gossamer light and insubstantial. With hardly any lasting power and sillage FdE manages to leave a bare trace of scent behind. Sweet and fresh in equal measure makes this fragrance perfect for hot and sticky summer days.

Negli anni 90 questo tipo di profumi acquatici era molto in voga ed era anche abbastanza piacevole come sensazione. Fleur d'eau è sfumato di una nota di albicocca che accompagna le sensazioni di fiori acquatici e freschi, ma il cuore è caldo e delicato. Dura abbastanza e si diffonde attorno alla persona,e ricorda altre fragranze simili pur essendo originale e diverso e mantenendo la sua propria identità.
