S by Shakira Eau Florale

I'm having fun exploring outside my comfort zone. I love the oriental spicy stuff, and also tend to the vanilla/caramel stuff on occasion. So, testing this out in Rite Aid was a stretch for me. I'm okay w/ the fruity during the summer, and the floral if its super light and white tropical. So, with that said, I have to say I like this one. It is very light. It is fruity initially, and it is sweet , but not overly so. The notes are exactly as they are stated, and the vanilla carries it well. In fact that is what makes me like it so much.. the vanilla. Its a simple happy little frag. Can't say if it "smells cheap" as some say... my nose isn't that refined I guess. Call me a hippie chick. I dunno. I bought the bottle after testing it two nights in a row after work. I'm good with that. In fact, I can see this as being an underlayer to my more spicy orientals... the vanilla and light floral would blend pretty nicely. Nothing SPECTACULAR... not someone's "SIGNATURE" frag... but I think you could give it as a present and the givee would not be offended. Nor would the office if you wore it there. year round, yes. As a base to some other perfumes sure, why not?

I was gifted this a long time ago and decided to try it again today. I sprayed it on my wrist this time instead of my clothing and oh..my..god. It is warm and creamy vanilla and smells like blackberries and raspberries in cake batter. I am on the verge of saying I LOVE it. It doesn't smell floral to me at all. When you first spray it smells sort of citrus (bergamont) and something zingy that I'm not familiar with (black currant I think). VERY quickly, like within a minute or so, it begins drying into the middle and base notes which are warm and creamy, delicious berries. It keeps a hint of tanginess most of the way through, but it's mild. It's so so yummy. I do love it. I'm so happy to have just fallen in love with a fragrance that I already own :D

My son got me this 8-10 years ago when he was a teenager. He picked it out himself I think, and for that reason it's super sentimental to me. It's spring here in Michigan, so I decided to pull it out again. I always forget how much I love this perfume. It has pretty decent sillage and longevity I feel for it only being an EDT. I don't find it to be cotton candy sweet like many others do. On me, it's a tarty type sweet and I just love it. I also don't tend to love overly berry scented perfumes, but in this case it's done just right. I love the vanilla that seems to be present throughout, playing nicely in the background. I'm going to leave this with my easy reach perfumes so I don't forget to wear it this spring and coming summer.

I personally only adore this for a simple reason...it to me atleast,is nostalgic,it reminds me of the bubble bath my mom used when i was like 4,so for me it brings back that memory,id say its sweet& girly cute,fun...doesnt last but a second ,lol,but cute bottle& very talented lady...who is in my opinion no matter what age,Shakira is so so pretty! A cute girly scent sweet bubble bath in a good way. I wouldnt wear on a fun night out or for a man,yet id wear this to go grocery shopping yes& to the park in the day. Fun& play pretend scent for little girls...to feel like a princess,very cute.

Verrrry verrrry fruity with a gourmand touch. There is nothing ''FLORALE'' about this fragrance; it is all about delicious fruit combined with tasty, creamy vanilla. I enjoy wearing it, it makes me feel so innocent, so youthful, happy. The name is very misleading, Eau Fruitee would reflect the fragrance composition better. While I enjoy wearing S to formal occasions, Eau Florale is my perfect fragrance for casual Saturdays and lazy Sundays. Eau Florale is no doubt a mood uplifter and has decent staying power and silage. Highly recommended for informal wear! Thumbs up.

I love this! It is one of my favorite celebrity scents. Every time I wear this it makes me feel so good. It is so feminine and dainty. It smells sweet, but not the cloying sweetness like pink sugar. It smells of lots of berries with a slight floral scent. The lasting power and sillage is good also. My husband commented that I smell good and he hardly does that. I could wear this all day and any season.

This was a blind buy for me and I love it!!!!! Its like a sweet candy,musky,vanilla with a hint of berry scent. Its light and subtle IMO and perfect for spring & summer. Longevity is moderate on me and sillage is soft...having to reapply is within 4hrs is not a big deal for me. I'd highly rec to to anyone that wants to try a sweet scent that is not overbearing & strong.

YUM! Such a bright and crisp scent. I absolutely love it. It reminds me a lot of TR Hope, Love, and Denim, and Philosophy's Falling love--it's that type of scent. Whereas TR emphasizes more of a violet note, Florale features the berries and heliotrope. It's just a fun and fresh scent. It is perfect for summer.

This is more of a fruity scent, than a floral scent. It's kind of like a berry orchard in a bottle. The blackberry,cranberry, and raspberry notes are quite prominent throughout, mingled with sweet vanilla and some green notes. This is a very nice fragrance, light and fresh, but longevity is not too good.

Huele dulce con un toque floral y aquatico diría yo. No ed un perfume fuerte ni pesado, es perfecto para la primavera y el verano. Me recuerda al olor que tenían las barbies en su cabello !! Es genial me recuerda mi niñez ! Perfecto, barato y con una buenas duracion . lo recomiendo de todas formas ! ;)

Just got this and I love it! It is reminiscent of YSL Cinema just a little bit.It seems that they have the same underlying base... But the difference is that Cinema has citrus as the fruity smell and Eau Florale has berries. This lasts pretty much all day. I love it!

This perfume to me is relaxing and ethnic. A very simple - yet unique - wonderful smell I had been willing to find for a long time. I've never used the same eau de toilette twice before, but I definitely do consider re-purchasing this one.

Smells like a greedy girl full of pink candy, little notes of wild flowers helitropo that simulates a field day. In the first sprite I feel delicious fresh bergamot. A touch of vanilla perfume pra rounds every day! Low cost. Oh yes S!

I was in Kohl's today and tried it out. It's a really nice smell, but is it my imagination or does it smell like Trish Mcevey's #9? It lasted a good long time too, which was great.

i love it! i were it daily and i think my parents have gotten fed up of it to be honest because ive gone through about 4 bottles! it great! LOVE IT!!!

This her best by far, the sillage, the longevity, and the smell. I totally recommend it and I hope it never gets discontinued.

what a surprise from Shak, very awesome perfume, ideal for summer berry vanille coctail. a lot of black currant in it.

Good fragrance! A trip into the sweet fruits, delicated flowers and has a suave touch in your skin.

I do like it because it's sweet. It's not my favorite, because the scent is not long lasting.

This thing has som sick longevity! around 2 days for me, including 2 showers. Love It!
