Fiori

I recently acquired a roller ball of this fragrance. I had been searching for a dupe for Chance Eau Tendre which is out of my budget for now. I'm familiar with Eclat de Fleurs - another purported dupe for CET - and have tested it on many occasions. I like it but in my country it is only available in the 100 ml. size and honestly I don't want such a big bottle of something that I will wear only occasionally. So, based on reviews here, I blind bought a small roller ball of Fiori (it is not available in stores here so I could not test it before purchasing). Fiori is to my mind, very reminiscent of Eclat de Fleurs. It might be somewhat softer and it certainly is not as long lasting or as potent but maybe that is because I have a roller ball? Fiori is more delicate and more 'shampoooey' than Eclat de Fleurs and another difference is that I find the sandalwood much less pronounced here. Bottom line for me - I like both Eclat de Fleurs and Fiori and they are very similar to my nose. However, neither are in my opinion what I would call dupes of CET. They are in the same vein and lovely in their own right but I'm not taking CET off of my 'want' shelf. Guess I'll have to start saving.... ETA - I've been wearing this quite intensively for several weeks now and I really am enjoying it. It hits that perfect balance between sweet and tart. I'm hoping that the performance will improve once the warm weather rolls around. I definitely see myself purchasing a full bottle when my roller ball is gone. Edit #2 Just ordered a full bottle. I can't stop wearing this one.

This is absolutely beautiful! Possibly the best of Vince Camuto's Limited Edition line. A cacophony of florals dripping with the natural sweetness of nectarines and boozy peaches. It's youthfully luminous, hopefully bright, and totally saturated with the joyous nuances of vibrant fruit and dazzling floral notes. However, it was not love at first spray. The first sniff produced such a flinch, I thought it would be destined for others; re-gifted, or what have you. Screechy, sharp, loud, obnoxious...just another flop from online clearance items. After the bottle was able to rest (and I'm talking a few months), and the weather warmed, it smelled so completely wonderful, that even now I search for the right words to describe the magic. A very traditional structure makes this all too easy to analyze quickly, and possibly overlook. The ingredients are well blended and intuitive. Every part of this fragrance is literate and literal. Fiori is all about peach and freesia, and everything else sings harmony. Best worn casually, this can fit into any environment or social situation. Perhaps it is not a perfume that will change your world, but it does give a nice alternative to indecision.

I tried Vince Camuto Fiori after trying Capri (which I liked very much) and Bella ( which I liked, almost loved). I then tried Fiori and I am in love. I bought and finished the 1 Oz, then 1.7 Oz, and I am waiting for the 3.4 Oz to arrive (along with 2 travel sprays). I tire of fragrances easily but not this one. I wear this perfume for brief casual day-time outings and during exercise. It's fresh, slightly sweet, and womanly. It is not juvenile like Bella. I receive so many compliments while wearing this perfume. I have gifted it to other women and they also love it. Lasting power is about 2 to 4 hours. It projects about 2 to 4 feet. It is affordable so I do not mind using it to my heart's content. I finished the 1.7 Oz bottle in a month. I spray heavy (10 to 15 sprays) and re-apply as needed. This is lovely. There is white nectarine, grapefruit, and musk in the notes which I love. I can safely say that I will continue to buy this perfume until it is discontinued. I must also add, I have tried Chance Eau Tendre. They are similar in smell and longevity. The Chance had some tartness to it that I did not like while Fiori remains sweet and mellow. I prefer Fiori.

I was trying to figure out what this reminded me of, and I just couldn't put my finger on it until I came on here to compare the notes. Yep, aside from the fruity top notes, this smells exactly like Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche on me! They seem to have a few notes that are the same (cedar, musk, amber, iris, and jasmine). I don't smell the jasmine, but apparently, my skin really pulls out the woodsy notes; and the flowers in here keep it from being masculine. It smells sort of clean on me, and I like that. It's a nice alternative to smelling clean without a really soapy aspect (which I don't mind at all. But for those that don't really like their perfumes to smell too "soapy", this is a good alternative). This is more of a perfumey-woodsy-clean. I'm assuming it's that floral undertone that's giving it that "perfumed" woods aroma. The downside is that if you're looking for sillage and good longevity, you probably won't find it here. This becomes a close-to-your-skin scent within an hour (maybe less for some). But since it's less expensive than Chanel, you might not mind re-spraying throughout the day.

A go-to favorite that never lets me down! It's light, clean, feels refreshing and very "pretty girl". I don't have to be dressed a certain way or be going a certain place to pull this off. It just always works. I predominately smell nectarine, bellini & freesia throughout the wear and the musk and amber creep in very lightly in the dry down but they stay in the background. It's pleasant and light, no matter how heavy handed I apply. One of the most complimented scents in my collection... who would have thought! I have never gone through a full 3.4oz bottle of any fragrance (since the early 2000's) simply because my collection is too large for me to focus on one scent that much, but I'm halfway through my big bottle of this in 2 years time. I've worn this in all 4 seasons but would highly recommend it for spring and summer - that's when it really shines!
