Fleur Danger

I just got a sample of this and I am definitely getting the full bottle. To me this is a metallic, aldehydic, saffron fragrance mainly. The base is woody and leathery. The fragrance does have some sweetness to it. I really enjoy the sharp metallic nature of this fragrance. Perhaps the aldehydic metallic profile can be off-putting to some people who might find it too artificial or chemical. I am not saying it smells like these fragrances, but then again some parts of it reminds me a bit of Crystal Saffron and Ganymede which I much enjoy. Or at least I can say I believe if you enjoy those fragrances or similar, there is a chance you might also enjoy this. The performance seems very nice to me and has been lingering on my arm most of the day. I would say this fragrance is perfectly uni-sex.

Beautiful, smooth suede fragrance with pink pepper, rum, and sandalwood. It has a "steel" accord and this is what I picture when I smell it. Smells very expensive but also something that would pair wonderfully with jeans and a t-shirt. I can detect the raspberry very faintly and only if I'm sniffing up close. Bought a bottle of this immediately after sampling.

After trying out the three scents in this new collection, Fleur Danger spoke to me in a way that I had experienced before. I had no idea what the notes actually were, but it brought out elements of scents that I like. My first thought was that it had Aldehydes (it doesn’t have it, it has a note of “Steel”) and maybe a mix of Rose and Saffron, and a touch of western oud. This reminded me of Taif Aoud, although the scent itself is not the same. Another thought was Raspberry and the aforementioned oud-like aroma, which is also found in Guerlain's Oud Nude. When I got the notes, the pieces of the scent fell into place. Apparently the synthetic molecules used in the scent made it feel like a synthetically constructed Oud. Orcanox is designed to replicate the luxurious and complex aroma of natural ambergris. Suederal on the other hand has a rich, powerful, and smoky aroma that replicates the scent of leather and suede, sometimes Castoreum as well. Together they smell like synthetic oud to my nose with a hint of delicate, clean and soft suede. Somehow, the opening still feels like an Aldehyde-like airiness, but it may come from the steel, which is mentioned in the notes. In addition to the fresh scent, Aldehydes bring a cold, almost icy feel to some fragrances, and that same coldness comes from the steel. There is no Rose in the scent, but it came more from the association with Taif Aoud and Raspberry and Saffron are there, which were distinguishable even at first impression. The more I wear this the stronger Raspberry performs and it’s pushing through the other notes, it’s absolutely irresistible and so well done. Despite the airiness, the scent has a rich texture and a delicate creaminess thanks to Sandalwood. Gurjum balsam belongs to the balsamic and resinous family, but it is nevertheless a fresh woody note, which complements the airiness. Fleur Danger is clearly the most different of the three fragrances in the new collection. It doesn't clearly smell like flowers, nor are they listed as notes, but my association with Taif Aoud | Roja Parfums still makes me think of roses - the kind of mountain rose that wafts up from the fresh mountains. In this case, it's like a frozen rose, which gets its spicy, earthy aroma from Saffron and a hint of sweetness from Raspberry. It is a clearly unisex scent in my opinion, as it has nothing that is traditionally considered feminine, while both Neo Eden and Jade Amour have a sensual femininity that is noticeable, while both scents are still suitable for everyone without prejudice. The longevity and the projection are good. I have written the review of surprising Neo Eden and addictive Jade Amour earlier. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more.
