Comme une Fleur

Beautiful patchouli, sensual fruity, sweet like well-toasted bread. Something spicy gives it a suggestive touch. Smell of conquest.

I can't get out of my head the name "fruitchouli". But this time it's not pejorative. I smell candied fruits and dry camphorous patchouli in the best way. The opening is a cacophonie of notes with a petit grain burn but somehow compact. It smoothes with time in this lovely candied fruit patchouli combination that is not sticky or heavy and certainly has nothing in common with rotten fruit salads served to us in abundance for far too long. This is a real modern chypré with a great posture, not just the name, these days just about anything is called chypré and that pisses me off, with surprisingly airy and quite addictive patchouli. One very fancy fruitchouli indeed.

100% unisex, more for spring and summer to my opinion. I can smell petit-grain, orange blossom, patchouli and cashmere wood. Fresh, with a great sillage and longevity. Delicate and elegant 7/10

This lasts the longest from the entire range. But the dry down (on me) becomes reminiscent of BR 540, something which I didn’t get from the initial spray and first few hours of wearing. It has that similar red crystalline mineral-like sweetness. This is very sweet and red, like red wine gums or red Haribo. Too sweet and noisy for me, as the soft musky base and cashmere wood is actually busy and high-pitched rather than calm - again I blame the red fruity candy-like sweetness for this.

God, I love these wacky creations from this house. At first, your like whoooa...what the heck are these fumes? I've learned just let it calm down. Once it does it becomes a beautiful symphony of peace and love. I feel like a Diva and Hippie all rolled into one. This is a mildly citrus, mildly floral patchouli queen. Definitely a very nice, heady patchouli. Another perfume from this line that makes me feel like a classy bee-aatch....and BTW here are the notes: petitgrain,orange blossom,patchouli, ambergris, cashmere wood

Am energizing slap of petitgrain on the front end. Rose water syrup, or some other sweet floral, bubbling atop a camphorous, contemporary patchouli base. Sort of reminds me of some mid-00s creations. I like it, but the patchouli feels like it's lacking depth. The drydown brings to mind Sisley's Soir de Lune.
