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!

I love this perfume, fixing it is very good. and he reminds me a lot the 212 Sexy

Very lovely fragrance. Love the notes!

This really wasn't properly named. It should've been called "S Candy" or "S Sweetness." It's a pretty perfume but I prefer "Elixir" and her debut scent "S." This is basically the original "S" perfume but with no balsamic accord, no deep sandalwood note or woody accord...and a fluffy, pink, sugary perfume. By the title you would think it's got Gardenia, maybe Tuberose, or a Rose note in it. The Jasmine note that is listed is barely detectable and it's kind of one of those sugar cube sweet scents and whereas "S" which was deeper and MUCHHH more vanilla...this one is just more of a fluffy feel with the notes not particularly strong. Everything is there but it's kind of muted. The fruity notes are quiet...the sweetness is there the most but even that is soft, the floral note is Barely there...you see where I'm going with this. So it's a pretty scent for sure. But maybe a good perfume for a 14 year old girl or for someone who has reactions or allergies to stronger scents. This would be a good "quiet" option for someone like that. It's pretty, not sexy. It's detectable, but not strong whatsoever. It's cute. It's a pleasant perfume for sure...but it is not properly named and it is not for a night out partying or an event where you wanna get noticed. Longevity - About 3 hours. Projection - It will project 1-2 feet for the first hour. Then it's a skin scent for another 2 hours. Overall Score - 7/10. I like it. I just like my scents to have more character and I like a little more strength. So far from her line I have this perfume, her original S perfume, Elixir, Paradise Elixir, Wild Elixir, Rock!, and Love Rock!...and so far..."S" and "Elixir" are my two favorites from her line. I ordered "Dance" last night so we will see how I like that one because I am a sucker for the note "Caramel" in perfumes. Fingers crossed!! For this one...I voted above with a "like." Will need HEAVILY sprayed if you want decent performance out of it...keep that in mind if you're blind buying this. Not my favorite...but certainly a pretty scent nonetheless.

While on the hunt for a good face cream,"Eau Florale" caught my eye, of course I can't leave the perfume counter alone;O. Reservedly, this is the best I've smelled from Shakira so far. "Eau Florale" has a bright citrus opening, I am surprised that tuberose wasn't listed in the accord since there is a slight minty/mentholated lilt to it. I get that tempered fruity gala and then it gets down to the nitty gritty balance between the white florals and heliotrope. The vanilla and citrus give a creamy ambery dry down that is very close to your skin. I appreciate this fragrance. Its not ostentatious or aggressive, just right for a light evening dinner and it smells just as the notes suggest it does. It doesn't smell too young and for that it has an extra appeal. Might consider a purchase and it's affordable. An affable perfume, congrats Shak and co!

A nice berry sweet vanilla perfume. At first spray this totally reminded me of Paris Hilton's Can Can. There is a sort of cotton candyish vibe to it but not enough to make it over the top sickly sweet. On my skin the florals barely exist...it is all berry vanilla musk. The lasting power is also pretty good on my skin. Overall I can't really say anything bad about it. I really like it alot. *Update* I just wanted to add that the lasting power on this little gem reached 12+ hours on me! I was very impressed that it lasted that long especially a discounted celebrity scent. I know other reviewers had stated that on them it did not last at all but on me it lasted FOREVER!!!

I requested this as a gift when I was like 21. The tester at Target or wherever it was sold me. I probably loved it because of the berries. I die for stuff that is just the smell of strawberry or a mix of berries, so I gravitate towards perfumes that have berry notes. Unfortunately after not very long, I took the bottle with me somewhere and it dropped and shattered. That was so many years ago, maybe I should rebuy this and relive that time in my life. Not sure if I want to, though...but at least I can enjoy the scent. From what I remember, this is a heavily sugared vanilla concoction, these notes being more prominent overall than the berry notes.

I love this but it IS rather weak. It has smelled like cotton candy to me, and still does at first. I sprayed liberally this evening and now, as it dries down, I get a faint scent just like Flowerbomb or Bath and Body Works Amber. They are all different, but from the same family. This a bit sweeter believe it or not, but it's strength leaves you to believe it isn't. This is nice for a gift or work place. It's great for a short event! but will never hold up for an evening or full day. It's just a plain fun scent to have with a cute bottle. If it had more staying power, I would put it against THE best! It's sure yummy before it fades!

The opening starts with a reminiscent whiff of Prada Candy but quickly bursts into a tropical fruit concoction of berries. Dry down is a gorgeous mix of florals and then sadly it is gone. Doesn't even last an hour on my skin and the weather is cooler here being Autumn. Leaves a fruity tang on your clothing but more floral on your skin. I absolutely love this fragrance just very disappointed it disappears so quickly. I wouldn't purchase this again unless I can pick it up for a very cheap price so I can justify slathering myself in it. I don't know why Shakira didn't bring this out in an EDP.

I was kind of hoping for something similar to Ariana Grande's Sweet like Candy based on the blackberry/vanilla notes listed here but I think I smell more of the flowers/musk/lime...it does smell sweet somehow however. It also smells really weak on me, I feel like someone would have to be very close to me to smell it. It's not bad it's definitely interesting but not really what I was expecting as far as a fruity/sweet perfume. I'd rate it a 7/10.

Sassygirl18 hit the nail right on the head! This does smell alot like Falling in Love but with a kick in the begining that FIL doesnt have. It does start to smell more like Falling In Love as it dries down. It is not too sweet. It doesnt seem to last long but when I can purchase it for $6.99 at my local Ross store then I am okay with reappling when needed. I also think this would be great to layer with Falling in Love. I purchased 2 of these!

This is really nice! Just had a chance to test it today. The blackberry and vanilla is definitely there but I'm glad the blackberry isn't too heavy and sickening. It's all balanced well and I was surprised to find that this perfume is a little tart which is nice, the tartness must come from the raspberry. It's a comforting scent and quite youthful although more mature people could wear it too. Overall, a nice fruity gourmand.

This is one of those perfumes that are just all around safe. I've come across this many times and it's generally inexpensive. The price reflects the smell. It's sweet and simple and would make a nice gift for a girl's first perfume. You can't go wrong with it, but you certainly won't make an entrance with it either. It has the right amount of floral lightness to be an everyday kind of spray. I'd give it a 6/10.

A fresh, light and fruity floral. It seems very clean to me, almost soapy, and natural. Not at all sugary sticky sweet or overpowering. I sprayed a bit 5 days ago when I aquired as a gift, but could not really sense it totally when having on another scent entirely. I have on quite a bit right now - for about an hour now, and it is pleasing. My husband lovessss it :)

This is sweet like candy. Something that Barbie would wear. I think the name is misleading, because it is not very floral (just for a little time and it doesn't remind me of the original S). Overall, it is a sickenly sweet and immature perfume. It is my least favorite from Shakira. Longevity and sillage are the same as from other Shakira fragrances :disappointing.

I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE, IT IS VERY SWEET, IT SHOULDN T BE CALLED FLORALE, I CAN T FIND FLOWERS IN IT IT IS PERFECT FOR TEENS, I AM 23 BUT I LOVE GIRLY NOT MADURE SCENTS IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE AND I THINK IT S GREAT FOR A GIFT ME ENCANTA ESTE PERFUME, ES BIEN DULCE, JOVIAL, SI BIEN ES "PESADITO" LO VEO GENIAL PARA PRIMAVERA VERANO MUCHO MEJOR QUE EL PRIMERO DE SHAKIRA

Exactly like CK Shock but I like this one better. It has better sillage than Shock. Berries and vanilla...yummmi!!! It's a sweet perfume, but in my opinion not necessarily a "little girl" sweet perfume. To me it feels very appropriate for any age (I'm not a teengager). I like it a lot. It smells girly, flirty, femenine. Great everyday scent!!!

Eau Florale is very sweet, and not very floral at all. It smells like sugar and berries, specifically the kind of sugary sweetness you would find in cake frosting. The sweetness remains throughout, and even though there are some very subtle floral notes emerging in the middle phase, I still would not call this a floral. Very sweet and simple.

Esta fragancia es bastante floral, no entra dentro de mis gustos lo compre porque estaba en rebaja y al final mi hermana se quedo con el, compre la versión de 80ml con la cajita musical que esta muy padre por que tiene un single de ella, el frasco es muy lindo y elegante y son bastante económico.

This is a very sweet, girly berry scent. I have no idea why it's called "Eau Floral" - that's so inappropriate. This is a bunch of sweet berries in vanilla sauce. And not sour to me, not at all. It's pleasant.

This is a nice, sweet scent - sort of like a floral cotton candy with a tart opening. It smells very similar to Trish McEvoy #9, Philosophy Unconditional Love, and Philosophy Falling in Love.

Super doce! Cheirinho de bala, pirulito de frutas vermelhas daquelas bem meladas. Vejo esse perfume como um floral frutal gourmet, apesar de não ter notas gourmet.

It's simple, nice, pleasant and sweet. It makes me imagine a very nice, optimistic and supportive girl (young woman) who always has a smile on her face :)

this smells super sugary on me, very very sweet, I LOVE IT. I really want this. The staying power is not awesome but `not the worst either.

It's a sweet and floral fragrance that was easy to enjoy. Wish it had better longevity though

It ́s not floral,is more fruity-sweet. It reminds me of Moschino Pink Bouquet and 212 Sexy.

This is one of my mother's perfumes and one of the few she tolerates and enjoys. I do not love it but I think it is quite pleasant. The scent is quite alcoholic though, which at this price point you shouldn't really be surprised by but it is worth a heads up. It has a bunch of sweet fruity notes, that you can smell up close (especially the berries), but it actually smells quite clean and from afar, more floral than fruity. To me it smells like a berry scented hand sanitiser. Performance weak to moderate, which is ok for the price, but nothing impressive. It's not really my type of scent but I would purchase a bottle for myself if this performed way stronger and for longer.

This is not the type of perfume I usually go for,but I don't know why recently I felt like deeply need something very sweet,fruity and delicious,so I thought this would be the one It's not what I wanted but it's not bad. as I expected it's not floral and not similar to S by Shakira .it opens with very sweet sugary berry notes,juicy and mouthwatering,there is also a delicious berryish tartness beside it's sweetness..drydown is vanila plus berries,not sourish and juicy anymore,just soft powdered delicately sweet berry vanilla,nice but smells kind of childish(reminding me of the pink perfumes made for kids) and has a synthetic vibe which I don't mind For me this is a spring,summer scent but just when it's not really hot or humid,it's also wearable in early autumn days Longevity is moderate,sillage is soft to moderate and in whole it's good for it's price..if you like a sour&sweet berry scent,playful and girly go for it It's bottle isn't as pretty as pictures but it's still nice.I'm happy with my buy and like it but not love it It's not the one I was desperately searching for it,something more daring,sweeter and stronger,a more gourmand, more candylike,summery berry fragrance. search still continues (Edit: I found what I wanted in Lattafa Yara Candy. it smells like red hard candies and gummy bears and dries down to strawberry smoothie) edit:when sprayed once or twice on wrist it stays for 2 hours,sillage moderate during first 40 minutes but then it's just noticeable if you stick your nose to your wrist...unfortunately I should claim this is a weak fragrance that if you douse yourself in it,it doesn't improve much,bottle is cheaply made too,this is nothing more than a berry vanilla body spray IMO Edit: the more I wear it, the more I dislike it. the berries in it smell very fake and it reminds me of Body Fantasies Cotton Candy which I also dislike شروعش رایحه آبدار و ترش و شیرین انواع بری ها و تمشکهاست. تو درای داون،ترشی تمشکها از بین میره و رایحه از آبدار بودن درمیاد و کمی پودری میشه و تبدیل به ترکیبی از انواع بری+وانیل+شکر میشه. درکل هیچ شباهتی به اس بای شکیرا نداره و با وجود اسمش،اصلا عطر گلی نیست و کاملا میوه ای،وانیلی هست. بوی بدی نداره اما درکل ازش خوشم نیومد.

10 thumbs DOWN!!! Ok.. first of all I want to say that I lo0o0o0o0o0ove Shakira as a Singer and preformer and I think she's one of the sexiest women ever. BUT: Unfortunately I was very disappointed when it comes to this perfume. I bought it online from a very good seller and I was sure it's gonna' be sexy like her. I mean I expected something that will make me feel sexy. something fruity/ floral.. OMG.. This scent is one of the WORST perfumes I've ever tried. very artificial, Synthetic and cheap. Nothing like Real flowers whatsoever. It also has some scent of a baby powder. Yuck! I also want to say that some scents are not 'the best' but you can still use them from time to time.. THIS one was so BAD I could not use it more than twice. (I gave it a 2nd chance after the 1st time I used it and then I put it in the bathroom to use it as an air-freshener. Not the best one, But ok for an air-freshener).. Ohhh, God! Never ever again!!! I think Shakira better do what she does the best and leave the perfume making for people who knows 1 or 2 things in this field..

I'm not really a fan of this scent. It smells like Unconditional Love from philosophy, which apparently smells similar to Falling in Love by the same brand. It's lemony with powdered sugar. I find it to be more of a lemon scent than blackberry, which is why I don't like it very much. Something in this and Unconditional Love smell like a sour vomit, I'm sorry for anyone who loves this scent, hopefully that doesn't ruin it for you. But this is what I smell. I never would have purchased this if I knew it smelled like Unconditional Love because I already decluttered that one. I can see this being great for someone that likes lemony sugary fragrances because the sugary aspext is very airy and cotton candy-like. I used to adore Unconditional Love when I was a teen but I feel like it was much better quality back then. Anyways this Shakira scent has pretty good sillage and longevity on clothes so I do think it's pretty good for how cheap it is. I think this one has better performance than the philosophy perfume.

Tried it because of a misunderstanding between me and the sales assistant. When I said I was in the mood to try an "innocent, floral, young girl smell", I meant something like Don Algodon, very different from this kind of fragrance. Probably a generational misunderstanding. Far too candy sweet and not enough flowers for my taste. Not that it smells offensive or anything like that, it's just that I never like the candy-sweet fragrances on my skin. Smells like the sweet gummy dispensers near the entrance of a nearby cinema, which gives me good memories, but is not how I want to smell like.
