Revolution de la Fleur

For the past two years, this is the fragrance I've found myself coming back to the most when the seasons start to change. On paper, this is a summer fragrance. Frangipani and ylang ylang, in particular, are scents I so deeply associate with tropical weather and heat on my skin. But there's something about the floral-sweetened-vanilla in this fragrance that makes it so addicting during those in-between months. There's warmth, yes, but the sweetness is sensual and quietly intoxicating. When the seasons are changing I always find myself incredibly sensitive to scents that run "too hot" or "too cold." One spray and I'll be nursing a headache for hours. This fragrance, on the other hand, has never left me feeling overwhelmed. In the spring months, it's a slow seduction into the summer heat and in the fall, a lingering embrace from the sun. I love it so much. As the days get shorter and nights get longer I'm finding myself clutching my bottle closer and closer. Soon the chilly autumn winds will carry me into the arms of my sweet gourmands and smoky vanillas, but for now, I'll enjoy my last moments of summer and early autumn with one of my favorite floral fragrances.

Revolution de la Fleur is a thick, dense, rich, lush combo of some of my favourite tropical florals: ylang ylang, frangipani with jasmine and rose, layered on a creamy base of sandalwood and custardy vanilla. Smells so intense and sweet and delicious that makes my mouth water... I am biased towards this scent profile because it’s all I want to wear during spring and summer time but I have so many perfumes similar to Revolution de la Fleur in my collection! Would I love to add this to my collection?? Absolutely, it’s one of those perfumes that transports me to a tropical paradise and makes me smile/feel happy instantly! A through and through tropical holiday scent profile, Revolution de la Fleur is a beachy, carefree, lighthearted, fun, relaxed type of perfume that pairs perfectly with chilling on a sunny lounge and sipping an exotic cocktail on a remote, mega luxurious resort! Goes without saying to my wish list. But I am waiting for a good deal, performance it’s not there to justify full retail price! But scent wise is a 10/10 for me.

This is a beautiful, soft, elegant floral scent which truly is like a bouquet of fresh florals. I'm in my early 30s and Le Labo Lys 41 is my all-time favourite scent, and has been for about 10 years. I can definitely see the parallels with Revolution de La Fleur, though it is a little softer, lighter, yet still really powerful. Definitely comes alive on skin, and I would love to wear this on a hot summers day as I think that would make this shine even more so. I bought the sample set primarily to try RDLF and Tiger By Her Side (didn't love that) and this was definitely my favourite, but it was also my mum's who wears TF Jasmin Rouge religiously - and is very fussy about fragrance. I'm going to give her my sample as can't find Jasmin Rouge in stock anywhere, and think this will maybe be a new favourite fo her. I love the ethos of the brand, the simplicity of the packaging and this is definitely next on my wishlist, once the inevitable Le Labo price increases mean Lys 41 becomes even more of a special occasion scent.

This is a creamy roses floral scent that WILL bring on a headache if you OVERSPRAY! This beautiful feminine warm weather scent is a POWERHOUSE, let me tell you! While I’m writing this, I am kinda suffering in silence with a self induced headache from me thinking I needed to overspray for the sillage! Take it from me, one or two is all that is needed! Sana Jardin has some BEASTMODE scents and I will purchase FBs of this baby and Tiger By My Side😍😍🥹 I will respect the BEAST and lightly spray to enjoy hours of prettiness. FYI: Apologize in advance for the dramatics but I wanted to stress this house has some beautiful scents; however they are POWERHOUSES💗

A warm creamy dreamy sweet floral. I get a big dose of heady Ylang, the frangipani gives it that kind of sweet round waxy oily tropical floral scent. Not vacation vibes at all. It's a heady, sweet, lush floral. Sandalwood and vanilla are noticeable and warm up the background even more. It smells to me like Vert Malachite from Armani prive, i own that one it has a more strong intense DNA backbone, where this one is more delicate and it has the frangipani and ylang making it more of a heady lush vibe. I love it. Kind of wish i found this before Vert Malachite, not even going to lie! Beautiful.

It hits you with a blast of paint in the opening, just for a second. Typical encounter of white florals mimicking tuberose absolute and doing an excellent job at it. End result is potent and green, even earthy sometimes. It took my breath away. I have been fool enough to think that I have my holy grail white floral already, in all various interpretations including tuberose in particular. Drydown of it reminds me of Bortnikoff Amber cologne which I love as well. Huge must try and 10/10 for me.

Truly beautiful floral. One of the few that I feel is truly unisex. Frangipani, touch of jasmine even a bit of hyacinth. Ylang-ylang, rose and maybe some peony are in ritardando. With sandalwood and vanilla playing the background only truly "noticeable" after a bit of time. Great sillage but as with the other Sana Jardins, the longevity is mid-range. I chalk this up to it's natural composition. Wonderful fragrance. FB worthy.

Lots of creamy frangipani and white florals... It's like being in a steamy subtropical glasshouse in the sultry heat of summer when the flowers are in bloom. At first I thought it was a bit much, too heady and rich, but I found myself craving it and reaching for it more and more. I layer vanilla underneath it sometimes too, and with vanilla in the basenotes anyway, I feel like it elevates it more.

This is warm and pleasant but unfortunately sillage and longevity on me are both weak. If it was a cheaper price I might buy it but not as it now is. Update - I bought it. It’s lovely really and also Sana Jardin is in trouble so I wanted to get it before it disappeared.

I can't believe it's not butter! (Floral edition) She's buttery smooth, tropical (read: warm), and so classy. Not nearly funky enough to be called indolic, and not sparkly enough to be called aldehydic. She's a ray of gilded sunshine in a tropical oasis.

I’m not a big fan of floral scents, but this one is sooooo good. Seriously😭 Sweet, zesty and somewhat powdery. It smells like the most delicious orange marmalade made with honey instead of sugar 🍯 my ig: scent.guide

As others have said, this is a lovely yellow and white flowers fragrance. I don’t personally detect any rose. However I wish that the sillage was stronger on me. If it was, I would buy a full size bottle.

A love letter to the tropical flowers. If you want to feel like you're on holiday, when in reality you can't leave anywhere, because of Covid-19? This perfume will do the job, I felt young and in love

A STUNNING floral. This encapsulates the woman I want to be in my 30s and 40s.

If you’ve ever wanted to smell like a tropical botanical garden, this fragrance is for you. I’m usually not a fan of “tropical” frags (I live in Hawai’i, most “tropical” perfumes smell like a tourist trap), but this opens with the most realistic frangipani I’ve ever smelled in a perfume. Absolutely beautiful. Sadly, the frangipani is short lived, as the jasmine very quickly starts to emerge. I’m personally a fan of jasmine, but again, this is a very realistic jasmine, so it’s quite indolic. If you have a problem with indole, you may find this stage a bit hard to get through. Interestingly, the jasmine then fades, and the fragrance moves on to ylang-ylang. Very sweet and creamy, especially as the vanilla starts to come through on the dry down. While none of the notes in this fragrance are unique, I think what makes it special is how it evolves from one flower to another, rather than blending them all together. It’s almost as if you’re walking through a botanical garden and passing one tree after the other. It’s a beautiful journey that is perhaps better described as an “evolution” rather than “revolution.”

Ok so while i love ylang ylang, jasmine is very hit or miss for me as it can be headache inducing v quickly (think Dior's Jasmin des Anges ... bam: headache). Not here! This scent opens with frangipani and dries down predominantly jasmine and ylang, with a vanilla-neroli undertone. I personally get very little rose and sandalwood. Overall this was a very pleasang surprise i really like this. The only reason i may not get it, is that this reminds me of TF Jasmin Rouge, which is my absolute favorite jasmin scent -- creamy and sooo sensual. Révolution de la Fleur is like its flirtier little sister; openings are a bit different, and overall Jasmin Rouge is smoother and more rounded, a bit more subdued while Revolution de la Fleur is a bit louder and the dry down does include neroli. Both are very sensual, beautiful yellow/white floral scent, just bear in mind you might not need both as they are quite similar. If Jasmin Rouge was on your radar, this might be a more budget friendly alternative :) Overall: 8/10, for this scent profile: 9/10

Got this in the discovery set this morning. It's very pretty but I found it quite screechy the first time I sprayed it. I might have oversprayed. I'm used to perfumes that fade very quickly and this is definitely not one of those. This one needs a delicate touch when spraying. It sort of reminds me of Chanel No5 only without the notes that make me find No5 completely unbearable. Like No5's friendlier cousin. It's a lot sweeter than No5 whilst still having the vibe of an old classic perfume. This becomes more noticeable on dry down. One for the shortlist. Will definitely try again tomorrow. Edit: I did try it again. This time I used only the tiniest spritz. It lasted for hours, my daughter commented she could smell it, and I really liked it. I will see how the other perfumes in the set perform but this definitely could be worth getting a bottle. Great performance.

A rich, heady floral on the opening. I will be honest and admit that not all florals are for me. Frangipane is exotic and can be overwhelming. It can easily overtake other notes and give me a migraine. The same for ylang ylang. The neroli adds a much needed freshness and modernises the two tropical divas. A little vanilla warms and the sandalwood adds a nice fuzzy long lasting base. After a short while the jasmine does become a bit more prominent as does the neroli which is kinda interesting. The vanilla also becomes more apparent. For most of its timeline it is a neroli/vanilla scent with the divas mildly humming a tune in the corner. A modern take on a floral. I get average sillage and longevity in this cool environment.

YES! This is beautiful! A lovely opening of sweet, sweet frangipani, with a little note of citrus. It smells like walking into a flower garden in the middle of summer. The moroccan jasmine is beautiful, and the rose is enjoyable. The heart is a little powdery and sweet without smelling artificial. The sandalwood is gentle but gives the sweetness some light woodiness and depth. I'm not getting much of the vanilla but if there is much it feels more like a vanilla bean rather than the flower. This is a beautiful sweet genuine floral, none of that gucci bloom stuff. It's one of their best fragrances. The only problem is the longevity and sillage and it's so sad because otherwise I'd get the full size.

Well this is super strong on first spray and the jasmine and frangipani dominate with a light watery orange juice background. The ylang ylang is there but quite background yet the fragrance does feel very floral and very sunny. As this dries down, it become quickly very much lighter, at about 30 mins in it's relatively quiet but smells lovely. At this point the citrus has faded and the florals (mainly the frangipani and the jasmine) remain but with a very light, smooth vanilla. This is very pretty but also relatively uninteresting and unoriginal, you've probably smelt it many times before. If you like Francesca dell'oro Fleurdenya or Bain de Midi by Maison Matine, then you'll like this.

By the master himself Carlos Benaïm I’ve been convinced long ago that he is definitely the best known American perfumers that I’ve ever experienced And here he shows his expertise in florals which he excelled in I’ve enjoyed this scent very much it was very bright and nuanced The mix of the different kinds of florals without the white ones overpowering the formula was very much appreciated Yes it was a little tame but not enough to dislike it Coming back to the name is it truly revolutionary I’d say no but a very good one indeed If you are interested in florals this is a must try

As most people have already commented, this is an uber-feminine, sweetly floral scent. The frangipane and vanilla make this smell almost pastry-like, which actually quite elegantly matches the florals. There is nothing particularly riveting about this perfume, nothing much to it that is groundbreaking, however for a late spring-early summer daytime perfume this is simply lovely. It's a very pretty scent. The scent does not reach far after about two hours and it settles to a simple vanilla.

A very refined take on the exotic floral fragrance. Opens up with a blast of frangipani and ylang ylang, then a very interesting note comes forward - milky, grassy, woody, slightly metallic (could it be the jasmine?). Very interesting scent, the feel I get after the quick opening is something I can't compare to anything else I've smelled before.

A delectable, thick, tropical floral perfume. Revolution de la Fleur is playful and cheery, but not too girly or sweet - quite an elegant take on the genre, I would say, and fun to wear. Longevity and projection are moderate. Not quite FBW for me, as this is not really my style most of the time, but definitely yummy for summer.

Very similar to Jasmine Freak by Room 1015. Sunlit, solar jasmine.

Creamy, lush yellow white florals. It’s seductive.

beautiful but lasts a very short time

Gosh, this reminds me so much of Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir, that I used consistently as a teen. Very nostalgic, with a rather strong Jasmine note - that is possibly too much for some. I love this for its sentimental association but I wouldn't personally go for any fragrance this feminine and floral, a super strong Spring contender that I would definitely suggest and give my sample to a darling, feminine and sprightly soul.

Reviewed well below several times. Initially a total blend of all the flower notes named, then transitions from one to the next on the dry down. Fades quite a bit. It's nice but no notes at all of vanilla or sandalwood present for me. I rarely like pure floral scents, as this one reads. If I wear one, I prefer a white floral like Florence from Tocca and only wear it spring/summer for special occasions like a wedding.

This is certainly well named. It is a riot of flowers that is overwhelmingly strong and almost cloying in its assault. If I didn't know from reading the notes, I would have thought on first spray that this was a bubblegum tuberose scent. It's only after 10 minutes that I can start to smell the actual notes, frangi being the strongest. It lightens up after a few minutes, but I was so taken aback by the initial spray that I had a hard time appreciating this fragrance. Even so, it is still too strong for me and that heavy bubblegum presence is a turn off. Maybe I would have had better luck with Jaipur Chant, also from this line, which some have said is lighter and freshened up with citrus. Too bad this didn't have an injection of something like that to give it some much needed lift. As is, I don't think I can wear this as it feels oppressively heavy. I'm so glad I was able to get a sample instead of wasting money blind buying a bottle only to have it sit unworn.

Based on the note breakdown this should be one that I love. Unfortunately, like a lot of the other Sana Jardin floral fragrances I get a rather chemical jasmine in this one. This smells like sticking your nose in a vase of flowers, with faint chemicals wafting in the background. The dry down on this one is pleasant, as the frangipani and ylang-ylang come out and sweeten it up a bit, but the opening kills it for me. Also, I saw this compared to Fleur Nocturne--I don't get that at all. Fleur Nocturne is STUNNING with no chemical nuances, and it doesn't go in the tropical direction like this one does with the plumeria and ylang.

I LOVE a solar floral - Penhaligon’s Solaris and Le Labo Lys 41 are two of my all time faves - and this just does not hit. All I can smell is this odd wax note, like lip balm or something. I wanted to love this and I was so disappointed :(

Creamy, dreamy, floral oasis. This was almost a blind buy based on the notes - I found intriguing. Until a sales rep scrapped up the last sample. Alas, I bought the full bottle immediately. Small background on why I happen to love this perfume.. This reminds me of my trip to Costa Rica. I remember hiking in the jungle, there was a lovely lingering smell of a flower I did not know the name of yet. When finally I came across it, I approached this bush.. yellow/white, very small blossoms - yet with a strong and enchanting smell that wafting nearly every step I took on my trip. I thought, THIS WAS IT! this flower is called YLANG YLANG. This smells purely of Ylang Ylang, as well as frangipani. It’s pretty linear and base note after several hours turns into a light vanilla. I love Sana Jardins mission, and gorgeous/sleek packaging. I am also enjoying my sample of Nubian Musk (and i am not a musk lover). Try before buy. Creamy floral.

This is a hot and humid tropical floral fragrance, I find it to smell natural and realistic, veering into indolic territory but nowhere near as pungent as Songes (beautiful, but I can't do that one). It smells like the inside of the subtropical section of a botanical greenhouse, which is as close as I've gotten to anything remotely tropical in recent years. I smell the plumeria and the banana facets of the ylang ylang equally. Lovely!

After a serious blast of nail varnish, then come a slight plasticky note, and some pepper. Both very good things. Next, I get a hint of hyacinth, but then the florals turn to lean much more tropical, and there's a touch of sourness from ylang ylang. Overall the scent is a very vanillary, warm floral. The sandalwood and pepperyness underscore the ylang very well. Absolutely gorgeous stuff, and a pretty good performer too.

A jasmine vanilla cake, really delicious with a subtle undertone of spice. I am not sure what it is I am getting but there’s a creamy clove accord at the base of it. My only gripe is it’s got such poor performance and I just won’t buy anything if I can’t smell it myself. Edit - I gave Revolution de la fleur another outing on a warmer day, completely won me over that I had to order a full bottle.

A marzipan-coated, powdery, chalky, ylang ylang with jasmine and neroli. Warming sandalwood and edible vanilla base. Intensely strong, borderline nauseating, with only one spray. I have learned to apply this very sparingly to ensure it doesn’t cause a headache. The whole composition feels unique, zany, and tropical. It’s an uplifting scent. Definitely shines in warmer weather as opposed to cold.

If only this performed better! Very pleasant, white floral dominant initially but as it dries down, the yellow florals also show up. It would make a nice signature scent, to me this is nowhere near tropical enough to be considered a "holiday fragrance", but that is actually a good thing, yellow floral scents are often overdone in my opinion but this one is just perfect.

Truly awful. I love intense perfumes, but this is deadly. It's strong, super heady and indolic, and old fashioned in a very unflattering way. If you like a clean fresh white floral, this is not it. This is putrid, and I have tons and tons of white florals in my collection. It's reminding me of diptyques's olene. Really hate this

Very much like terracotta, a bit like hibiscus palm minus the palm, and I would also add songes by goutal, an indolic jasmine cushioned by plenty of sweet ylang and frangipani. Very sweet, all of them, I do miss a tart twist in these style perfumes especially in the thirst quenching summer heat which they were intended for.

So far I like all the frags in the Sana Jardin set, but they all have the same curse of poor performance. Revolution de la fleur is pretty and likeable, with enough backbone to keep it from smelling cosmetic. Can't call it unique, but if consider fb if it had better longevity.

A sweet, uber feminine floral bouquet that harkens back to the 80's favorite Le Jardin but better. Just lovely. Led with frangipani, which gives it a hint of exotic warmth, this is a floral lovers dream for spring and summer. Naturally crafted so light in sillage. ✨

Have you ever bought a sample set and loved every perfume in it? Never happened to me until I bought the Santa Jardin set. This perfume is just beautiful as is every other in the set, each perfume being quite different in character.

Reminds me of Guerlain Idyll Duet - and unlike most perfumes on me I can actually smell wafts of it after an hour or so. Debating whether to buy a full bottle (I have the Discovery Set and this is one of my favourites.)
