Comme une Evidence

Comme Une Evidence is as beloved by me as the Eau De Parfum and Eau De Toilette version since its launch in 2003. Somehow, since that time, over a dozen years has passed very quickly! The first purchase of Evidence succeeded in utter fragrance seduction of my handsome young husband. He adores this fragrance on me more than any other, on the days I wear it, I often reach for it based upon whether he will be working with me or home with me on that day! Within that first hour of yummy medium sillage, he rarely fails to stop, pull me in closer, and breathe Evidence in deeply. Yay, me for the happy marriage insurance in a bottle that this is for me! He loves EL Pleasures, which, I would say is a bit sharper, more aromatic and green in comparision, but could be in the same family, but he does not like EL Pleasures nearly as much as this! Evidence succeeded also in boosting womanly confidence in my twenty-something self as an at home mother and wife, and by helping me at feeling amazing during Sunday church, busy days at home as domestic engineer, shopping, meeting friends for lunch and date nights, or spending the evening in yoga pants and hoodie cuddling our young first-born daughter and toddler son. This fragrance has been a dozen years of a constant warm, radiant sense of elegance and blooming olfactory beauty for those who love and know me best. I have enjoyed 12 plus years of compliments from many. What a confidence booster! Fast forwarding to my current busy life, and I am slightly over 40, ssh, just between you and me, and managing our first two children, and a little boy, littlest boy and toddler girl besides, and owning and daily managing two companies, one with my aforementioned, still handsome husband and in a board room once per month, this amazing Le Parfum is amazingly perfectly suited and a signature of mine. No matter what favorites of "new" perfume I introduce, including a recent test of the very delicious, elegant and mature Armani Si, my husband will say, "I do like it, but not as much as what you already have." Attending formal industry dinners, and meeting with clients, Sunday church, shopping with daughters, tea parties, date nights, or yoga pants and hoodie evenings, this fragrance is still just right. Evidence is also as lovely in every season as the next. Winter is settling in here and autumn is almost over in the Northeastern USA and, while Diorissimo seems too etheral and misplaced in the crisp and cool air, almost as odd as finding a sprig of Lily among the autumn leaves, Evidence is vibrant brightness amid the air of fall and the chill of winter,Evidence, I look forward to comfort me with warmth like favorite winter mittens, knit hat and scarf. Being honest, I prefer the Eau De Parfum and even Eau De Toilette if reaching for this fragrance during the hottest summer days. This is as perfect a balance of lily of the valley, jasmine and rose as I could have ever wanted. While I love Idylle for its jasmine, rose and lily blend, it is rose dominant on a Guerlinade base. I love my Diorissimo eau de Toilette, which is almost singularly Lily of the Valley with a touch of Jasmine, and I adore my Diorissimo eau de Parfum, which is Lily,Rose and Jasimine as well, unbelievably, this far less expensive Le Parfum and Eau De Parfum capture and blend these three with such beautiful complexity. One moment, I am sure that I've gone wandering in the rose garden of an elegant old estate in June. The next, I am transported to warm, sunny Southern California, where my mother grows Jasmine in her window box gardens. A short while later, it is mid-May, I am 13 again and enveloped in fragrant heaven, a shaded garden patch of Lily of the Valley behind a childhood home in the countryside. These gorgeous florals take turns emerging and providing an olfactory serenade as hours go on and the heartnote plays on and on. The longevity of this fragrance is fantastic! Diorissimo is here and gone so quickly, that would be my main complaint about it. Comme une Evidence has equal staying power to my Idylle and Idylle Duet Lilas Jasmine. Both of those have very high price points, and again, Evidence is second to none! During, and after Oakmoss, Patchouli and Musk creates a warm, cozy, cashmere sweater cloaking of forest woods which, on me, wafts in waves throughout the heart notes, and on to 8 plus hours later, depending upon how I layer. Patchouli in this blend is also a perfect balance. The sickening, off putting version in So Elixer Purple also by YR, which is a Tuberose and Patchouli blend is, by contrast, overpowering. If THAT is patchouli, I'd want none of it. Patchouli as it appears in Comme Une Evidence is heavenly and blended with a musky base of deliciousness and oakmoss to balance sweetness. Two puffs, layered with shower gel and body lotion from the Evidence line at YR, and you will not be disappointed, I have gotten about 6 hours easily of fragrant experience. Sillage naturally decreases over about three hours, but is still apparent to me by hour 6 or 7, and is strongest during the first hour of course.I have never gotten a negative reaction from Evidence, ever, large sillage or not. *A very similar review is written for Le Parfum version, because I find them to be very similar and adore them both!

Sparkling, green, stylish rose with a hint of something that resembles gooseberries. I adore the violet leaf and fruit opening that is absolutely not too fruity, but is still far from being overwhelmingly floral. Is is VERY well contructed; seems like the balance in this is perfect. The bitterness of the oakmoss just enhances the tenderness and freshness of the rose, YET it is a slight bit thorny too, a little bit edgy. For me it could have been a little bit, just a little bit stronger on the rhubarb and the patchouli, to make it a tiny bit more chypre-ish. But I still think it is a true chypre, albeit light. And in a way I am glad it steers clear of that common patchouli-fruit funk. I don ́t want to be snooty, but for you that find it like a bland drug store scent- DO try it again - it really is a classy, well-made and original scent. And as a rose I find it more exciting than many of the popular roses at the moment. I love rose and this, to me is better than both Bvlgari Rose Essentiell and Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One. It totally reminds me of Paul Smiths Rose and I am quite surprised that noone else has mentioned that (I ́ll read again, though, maybe I just missed it). Except from wishing it would be a bit stronger I really, really like this!

Well, had I discovered this beautiful fragrance earlier, a few perfumes in my wardrobe wouldn't exist. I was on a hunt for a perfume that is in the same vein as Pleasures by EL. I love that one but as of now a lot of people use it where I live and since it's very distinctive that sometimes puts me off. (same with DKNY Delicious) But let me tell you: Sometimes I wonder why the heck I don't simply repeatedly buy the same fragrances and save me the hassle. But that's another story, right? :) On to the scent: CUE opens with a fresh burst of LOTV and Rose. I'm not familiar with Violet leaf so I'm unsure what this component adds but it is lovely and very similiar to Pleasures. After that it quickly calms down and becomes muskier and a little powdery. I don't get much of the Rhubarb but assume that it must be the slightly sour note. It's evident that I'm a fan and glad that I got this one. So I can stop hunting... for now! :) Fans of Pleasures and CK Eternity Moment will like this one, I think. Well done Yves Rocher! Edit: This has very quickly become my daily go-to scent. Love it!

Today was the first day I really gave this perfume a chance because I got it for free with an online purchase and at first thought eh might be too much for my age. It's a cold crisp sunny day and I thought perfect day to try out since it's so green and floral. At first it smelled a bit like a LOTV and a rose bouquet blew up in my face but after that calms down, there is a slight musk and I get whiffs of the rhubarb and patchouli. Wow I really am loving it. I feel I would only really want to wear it for spring and summer because it's so fresh and girly, but I think I'll be wearing this a lot more than I thought because right now...I can't get enough. It just makes me want to be outside and enjoy the lovely day but sadly I'm stuck inside at work! EDIT: After wearing this more, the rhubarb is my all time favorite note here. It's so wonderfully vibrant on my skin, every time I wear this I'm in love and that's what will last for hours on my skin.

Soo many comments on this one...I very much agree with someone saying that the best thing about is that there's no gourmand hint in it. I am one of those who got tired of this trend. Comme une evidence...is the most romantic, rosy, flowery, powdery, clean, feminine, innocent scent in my collection. I imagine Snow White smelling like this, walking in spring in a rose garden, being envied for her youth and beauty... A fairy tale fragrance :). IMO this is the reason why it is not suitable for any woman, or you need to be in "the right mood" to wear it, because it adds a kind of a halo to your personality. This perfume is very popular where I live, so I smelled it on many occasions, places and I reached the conclusion that it can influence in a good or a bad way your presence. Again, very, very feminine, complex flower mix, fine and refined...but I recommend you try it before buying. Good longevity ( 10-12 Hours) and silage.

the way you like Comme une Evidence depends on the way it works on your skin. I personally have a very long love relationship with this scent. it has been my signature since I was 19 and I love in a way I can't explain.I love it, and I'm sure she loves me too. Comme Une Evidence smells of fresh, very fresh, true to life roses + a refreshingly bitter composition of things that I don't specifically know( of course thanks to the description provided you can tell what it is, but I wouldn't particularly know what wormwood or rhubarb smell like because I don't meet them in everyday life). the whole thing smells very clean and modern without being soapy or synthetic.It's suitable for all seasons too as it is neither "very strong" nor " very soft" But the big bonus with this scent is the sillage, and this is something which is simply hard to describe by words, it's just Hummm....

As much as I may love fragrances from Yves Rocher, they don't seem to love me enough to stay with me. And this perfume is no exception. A beautiful combination of floral and woody scent that is natural, soft and feminine with just enough sex appeal to give you a little swagger. I'm going to order the lotion and see if layering will help with the longevity. But this is the kind of thing I would use to make a nose gay if that sort of thing were made necessary again. I got the travel size bottle along with a few other very nice YR perfumes. I like them all but this stands out as something I would wear every day... if only it lasted. If you can get good longevity out of this, go for it. It's a beautiful fragrance. I like the rose and patchouli combination tempered by lily of the valley and sweetened by rhubarb and/or musk. I'll wear it when I don't need much longevity.

this is a lovely scent. For a feminine woman who doesn't want to draw attention to herself by appearing too sexy or outlandish. Also I've been told by friend's with allergies that it doesn't affect them. The florals are blended together really skilfully but the violet stands out on me. I love the smell of violet bit some violet scents have an unpleasant undertone on my skin, almost like blood or raw meet. This one I just get soft sweet flowers that last all day. There's also a warm toasted smell that's the woods and patchouli which help to fix those fly away florals. It does need a top up during the day but should last through tea with friends. This is one to wear to a meal. Nothing to put other guests off their food here. I'm on about my fourth bottle. One to wear when you need a proper cuddle not just a sweetie popped into your mouth!

This used to be my signature scent, and I was truly obsessed with it. I repurchased it many times and always kept backups when it was on sale. Since I love florals, this perfume was perfect for me — very floral, feminine, fresh, and easy to wear. It never felt offensive, and I always received compliments when wearing it. On me, it lasts well, especially on hair and clothes, with moderate but noticeable projection. It feels youthful, elegant, and very suitable for spring and summer. It’s also a safe choice for office wear and everyday use. Unfortunately, the price has gone up over the years and it’s now rarely discounted. At the current price, I don’t find it as justifiable as before. If I find a good deal, I would happily repurchase it, but I wouldn’t buy it at full price anymore

For me it's very similar to Pleasures Estée Lauder for women. It's almost the same smell. I used two 50 ml bottles of Pleasures and adore it, and this time decided to buy Evidence EDP, which has more longevity & sillage power despite my skin eats the perfume. It's more deep then Pleasures, a little sharp, but at the same time very pleasant. Though there are more notes in Pleasures Estée Lauder the Evidence is more rich scent. And finally the most important thing (which is the main for me) is that everybody asks what perfume do I use when I spray it and always there are positive reactions. it's very feminine, very bright and fresh being deep at the same time.

This is a cool pink garden rose, still on the plant. No lemon in this rose, just light and dewy flowers. If there's any sweetness, it's a natural one. A minor hint of clean soap (not soapiness, just clean)...and patchouli only in the background (maybe the dirt beneath the rosebush, way down on the ground). I'm afraid of patchouli, but I can hardly find it at all...at least in the way I'm used to smelling it. I'm a convert. I can totally believe this being the top seller in France: it smells GOOD. REALLY GOOD. I'm buying another bottle. BEST OF ALL: not a hint of gourmand anything!! Many thanks to this community for a fantastic trade...

I've never had more compliments from others on my perfume than with this. I thought it was stunningly pretty when I first tried it, a musky rose with what is probably my favorite patchouli in any perfume. It just brings this perfume to life, and I can still smell it at the end of the day. It's one of those perfumes where you think you got your money's worth for it because of how long it lasts on your skin: great if you enjoy the smell, which I do. I think Yves Rocher is highly underrated, they have so many fabulous perfumes! This is my second favorite YR, definitely recommended if you enjoy stronger florals.

This is beautiful,class,clean sensuality in a bottle. Rhubarb combined with the flowers give it a sharpness,and the clean earthy dry down of oakmoss gives it a kick of depth,it is light yet has good projection. You get compliments of how good you smell,and people actually ask what the perfume is,when someone does that you know you are onto a winner. I love the atomiser sprayer it gives so much when you apply it that you need not apply more than 2 on the pulse points at the neck. It is that go to perfume when you want to feel clean but sensual, I love it.

I've got this perfume as a free gift from my other purchase. I love this perfume. It's a beautiful soapy clean floral scent. It reminds me of my mom and her vintage pink soap; which is very comforting. The scent is not flat nor has cheap rose that you may find from other cheap fragrances. Some notes in here may be associated with "old grandma" but is balanced with fresh youthful bergamot and other contrasts. I would say that it's easy to be someone everyday signature scent because of how inoffensive and simple yet beautiful it is.

I've had my 100-ml bottle with the pink cap for years now, and I'm scared to use it up as apparently the bottle with the transparent cap smells different. I am going to miss this perfume so much. It's the perfect elegant, clean, floral scent for the spring. I hate the fact that Yves Rocher keep reformulating this line, the Le Parfum version in the small square bottle from 10 years ago is the reason I fell in love with fragrances in the first place.

A close to heart dreamy fragrance. Very feminine and romantic smell. A nice chypre, a pretty smelling rose-lily with a wet-damp earthy tinge. Like smelling roses on a romantic shadowy rainy day. As mentioned by the perfumer, also conveys a sense of abundance and well-being. As if evoking within you a sense of luxury from an exquisite floral arrangement in an expensive setting which you are feeling grateful about to have witnessed.

I love this scent--it is elegant and dressy without being pushy or overbearing. This may sound weird, but I think it smells like an intelligent, professional woman. I have worn it on a lot of job interviews, because I think it says positive things about the person wearing it, without screaming: "I'm wearing fragrance!!!" I will miss it when I run through the EDT and bath products I have left in it. This scent is a winner for me!

I got a bottle of this perfume for my 14th birthday and now 7 years later it’s still one of my most frequently worn perfumes. It’s very fresh and youthful which makes it very wearable for everyday. I do however tend to layer it with something with a deeper musk note since it can feel a bit plain otherwise. That being said, I absolutely adore this fragrance and I will always keep a bottle around because of its versatility.

this is my favourite perfume. i've tried far more expensive and cheaper and no matter what, this is what i always come back to. it's clean without being soapy, floral without smelling old-fashioned, and comfortably musky-patchouli without scaring the patchouli-haters. i've had more people ask me what perfume i was wearing, when wearing this, than any other scent i've ever worn.

I absolutely adore this perfume. I received a free sample of it from a Glossybox (hadn't heard of it before!) and immediately fell in love. I normally don't like floral scents, but something about this is so crisp and fresh. Very soft and light, distinctive but not overpowering. I'll definitely be buying the full size once I've used my sample up.

I love this. I remember my mom walking on stairs and me behind her smell such a nice smell and surprised by composition. (It was a gift small bottle and I immediately took it from my mother 😁) Since then I got 2 bottles. Even if its YR, it does not smell cheap and it is really good modern chypre. Definitely my favourite for spring/summer seasons.

This is my signature scent since university years. It’s a bottled elegance. I don’t know how many times I bought it. It’s fresh and perfectly balanced rose perfume. I have other flankers mon evidence and evidence intense but big no classic one is the best. The compliments I receive mostly about how it’s elegant feminine fragrance it is.

MY SIGNATURE: 2011-2013 Hundreds of sprays on my neck and handfuls of bottles from my drawers I used of this beloved heady perfume during a tumultuous, passionate and ruinous love affair. Now, this scent is literally evidence of a dark past, long bygone. I want to wear it still, but my heart clenches with pain even with just one inhale.

Very similar to Blooming Bouquet by Dior and Zara's dupe Lightly Blooming. While Dior's version gives me headaches, this one does not and lasts longer also. Dior's is slightly different and fresher, but unfortunately I was not able to wear it and sadly gave it away. This version (from 2024 with the gold cap) is a great alternative!

I love this. Romantic but not at all insipid, feminine, ageless, warm. A great price and lasts well. Very versatile and easily liked. Granted it isn't very original in style, hasn't got a kick-ass personality, but to me it is a classic. It just makes me feel beautiful, I think I will keep buying this forever.

I LOVE this fragrance, even though at the beginning it's very strong and not pleasant. But because soon enough I smell a rose bush, not just the flower. And this scent seems so nostalgic to me... Maybe even from the 80s. I got years ago many minis when it was on sale and am glad I did.

It is a unique and clean scent. I do complimented when I wear it. It also mixes well with my skin. A got it as a gift for Christmas and did no expect to like it that much. I wore it many years ago and thinking about buying it again to refresh my memory and those happy times.

I haven't found my signature perfume yet, but if i would have to nominate one so far, this is Comme un evidence. I find this is an extremely feminine perfume. In my country, l'eau de parfum is a top seller of Yves Rocher, so it's not disscontinued. Scent of a woman, indeed.

I had this perfume several times and I adore it. They don`t have anymore a shop in London, but when I was traveling to Paris I was looking to buy it. I use it mostly in the summertime and gives me a very good feeling because it is a positive and fresh perfume.

wow, this perfume makes me feel so calm and relaxed. It is soothing in some way and I think it is the rose in it which does the magic. It has longer longevity on my skin and clothes than most of my other perfumes, I will definitely repurchase . 10/10

inoubliable, frais, fleuri, doux. avec le recul convient bien à une jeune femme ou à celles qui aiment les parfums inoffensifs , je crois que je vais acheter la nouvelle version pour la porter quand je voudrais avoir des moments de nostalgie

I really don't understand how you can not to loveeee this perfume! It's so soft, feminine and magical floral! I think it's going to be one of my all time favorites! very adictive & romantic fragrance, you have to try..

Absolutely love this perfume! So feminine, elegant and light. Highly recommended for day time wear, i got o lot of compliments from my collegues. The only downside is that it doesn't seem to last long unfortunately.

beautiful aromat.srazu became my lyubimchikom.razlozhit for notes can not, but I can call it a delicate floral very positive spring summer fragrance.I think that no one can give a bad review to this flavor.

this scent was my grandma's signature. Not my type of scent though but I keep a bottle and spray this every now and then just to sink myself into a beautiful memory of her being around.

One of my favorite perfume, I think I had at last 5 bottles in the row. It has been few years and now I don’t have any and I still crave it. Very fresh, energetic, elegant and romantic.

I like this version too, but I think the "Intense" version of Evidence is my favourite. This is great for summer & spring seasons. Pairs well with its body lotion from the same line!

It is a very ... very feminine fragrance elegantly go for or what occasion is quite persistent. I LOVE EVIDANCE***

There is something addictive in this perfume that makes me purchase it over and over again...

i love it,Smell expensive like a rich girl . its my signature

if you want to smell clean you have to have this

CUE is a very nice scent, but it isn't extraordinairy. The sillage and longevity are excellent. It contains rhubarb, but I don't pick up on that. I love the rhubarb in Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci, but this scent is nothing like that. Unfortunately Ricci Ricci doesn't has much sillage or longevity. I love Chanel Chance, but this scent really reminds me in nothing of Chance, like rieuse mentioned. Chance is a lot fuller, warmer and complex. But since Chance is five times as expensive as CUE that really is to be expected. CUE is almost always on sale and now I can order 50 ml for € 19,99 instead of € 35,90 while 50 ml of Chance costs € 109,53 and Chanel is never on sale! Chance contains jasmine, while CUE doesn't and I think that Jasmine is what makes Chance sensual and why CUE isn't sensual at all. I pick up on the lilies of the valley and definitely on the rose. I am a sucker for rose scents, so for me that is always a plus. But in this scent the rose is also only subtle. It is a subtle scent, very blended. It smells green, clean, fresh, elegant, but it isn't outspoken, warm, edgy or extraordinairy. It is a middle of the road scent. I like this as a scent for sunny days in spring and summer and in the daytime, it is perfect for the office. EDIT: I also own and love Pleasures by Estée Lauder. I see that others are saying that these scents are similar, but I disagreed with that. I really love Pleasures and already own my second bottle. I already received lots of compliments while wearing Pleasures, but I never received any compliments while wearing Comme Une Evidence, even though I layer it with the showergel and I never owned a showergel of Pleasures. But today I did notice what people mean, CUE does have a similarity with Pleasures, but I still love Pleasures a lot more. Pleasures is a scent that makes me happy, that lightens up my mood, CUE doesn't has that effect.

I am putting my review of comme une evidence here as well as the 2017 page bc it is impossible to tell which is which bc the box says bergamot and i bought it last year but just unboxed it today, (i save purchases and give them to myself a year later as a gift:) and this says it came out in 2017, but my bottle looks like this one. My box also says nothing about violet leaf. There are so many versions and bottles and releases all having extremely similar names which is just so confusing and frustrating. I love you YR, i love your fragrances, i love your prices, i love your promos and products, but i just wish you could streamline your collections a bit more so i can trust reviews, and give accurate reviews myself for your great products. I think the confusion of all of the very similar sounding releases is detrimental to the YR brand, and ends up muddying the reviews of each separate release. Please consider a simplified mon evidence line! End rant. This is definitely very chypre, very french, very european feeling. I dont know if chypre is my favorite but i do really like this. I think it is very versatile and wearableIt is a very vintage style but yet somehow made current and relevant. It does sort of have a soapy-pink soap- church lady vibe but not in a bad way! I kinda like that vibe sometimes and i am planning to attend mass today anyway so it works out! I think the scent pyramid is very good at demonstrating the complexity of this, it has a liitle of everything! I definitely get bergamot rose and patchouli, and i love all three of these accords. I think sometimes chypre type fragrances are just too much for me, but this i feel is wearable and you will stand out simply bc it is different. It feels springy-summery, clean, innocent yet sophisticated in a weird way. I tend to like rose with citrus a lot so that works for me.

I'm confused- the bottle I have is CuE EDP (the one the catalog calls a chypre floral) yet is on here as a seperate entry showing the LE bottle from Xmas time with the free pink pearl necklace. The notes listed here are also similar to A New Day Dawns (the EDT spring flanker of Evidence), yet shows the regular EDP bottle?! I know that the original formula was changed from silk tree blossoms to bergamot according to the most recent catalouge, so I will review the original juice I first smelled before the myriad of flankers appeared... This begins with a fresh green airy top, that develops into a lily and rose accord that manages(somehow) to remain young and vital smelling and is not in the least "old lady perfume". It was while reading about this scent I first heard of Coty's 1917 masterpiece Chypre, and understand now how amazing a thing that was. This finishes with a wonderfully mossy, musky blend of basenotes coupled with a warm gentle patchouli and makes me understand why it's called what it is...comme une evidence is French for It Is Obvious, or Obviously. And it is obvious to me why this is the 2nd best selling perfume in Europe...gentle, airy, floral and earthy-stunning! Sillage: very good Longevity: great Overall: 4.5/5 This is a magical scent that lasts and smells much better than my meager description of it. Try Evidence(any one of them are fantastic)or try them all! I had the original EDP, ANDD, Le Parfum and Elixir de Parfum at one time, but had so many new ones I decided to keep the XDP and the New Day Dawns as these were my two favorites in this line of scents, but the original will always be the best!

I bought Comme Une Evidence EDP blind based on an opinion that it belonged to the Narciso Rodriguez-Guerlain Idylle-Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely school of deeply musky florals. The fragrance opens as a floral green with a very slight spicy quality and a bitter undertone, both of which lend a masculine touch. Lily of the valley is prominent. The scent is familiar at this stage -- light, pretty and a bit like Estee Lauder Pleasures – but the bitterness I mentioned keeps it interesting and just on the border of my comfort zone. The muskiness in Comme une Evidence is perceptible after the first hour, but it is minimal in comparison with any of the three perfumes I mentioned. Funnily enough, I don’t get any patchouli, nor rose: it stays green, a la Pleasures, all the way to the end. Very nice, feminine, a perfume for a responsible and emotionally mature woman, one who doesn’t need to make an overt sexual display in order to feel loved. Note: There are so many editions of CUE that I am unsure where to post my review. My bottle resembles the one in the main picture, but the words Eau de Parfum are found on the sticker at the bottom. I bought this sans box, so I don’t know what the packaging looks like. Going by the notes and my experience of the fragrance, this review ought to be posted in the CUE Eau de Parfum page, but my bottle looks nothing like the picture.

It has been a long time since I finished my bottle of this perfume, with so different versions of Evidence in the database I am not completely sure that I own this one but it seems to be the closest to the bottle I have. I still remember the day I sprayed it for the first time, it was like 1.5 yrs ago and I thought it was the most beautiful scent out there. I find similarities between this and Elizabeth Arden beauty, maybe because of the rhubarb? I don't know but I find both of them very feminine, well-behaved (even boring) and suitable for daily wear in spring and autumn. Though Evidence smells more sophisticated to my nose. Evidence has some kind of classic vibe to it too. It is definitely a classy green floral but not a totally modern one and It smells womanly not girly. The price is reasonable considering the quality of the perfume and the fact that it really does not smell cheap at all. I finished the bottle without getting any complements but when my sister came to my house and smelled the empty bottle (I keep all my perfume bottles after finishing them) she loved it so much that I decided to buy a bottle for her birthday :D I think if you, like my sister have a really feminine soul with no dark edges you will definitely enjoy this perfume!

I have a strange relationship with this one. I first smelled it on a small sample just when it was launched, and I had to have it immediately! There was something in the scent that triggered some cosy childhood memories. Unfortunately I got tired of it halfway down the bottle and used the rest as bathroom refreshener. So I was without it a couple of years, until I smelled it on someone passing by. There is no scent similar to this one, so I knew right away that it was Comme un Evidence. It's very elegant and feminine, but also has a sort of cool distance to it. So I rebought it! Used it happily again and got many compliments, and.... got tired of it again. Again the rest of the bottle became the bathroom refreshener. Couple of years passed again. In summer 2010 I was at this wonderful wedding in north of Norway and one of the guests was wearing this perfume. Suddenly I missed it like crazy again, and the history repeated, one last time. This time I only bought a mini of 7ml. I use it seldom, but when I do, I love it! And it still gets me a lot of compliments. I guess I have to admit that I just have to own a bottle of Comme un Evidence at all times.

This was an impulsive buy. I visited Yves Rocher store to get some of their other products which I love: body lotion, body oil and one of the best soaps I ever used. While there and for once not in a hurry, I started trying their perfumes. I liked this one and without much thinking I added a bottle in my basket. The first spray is kind of sharp green, but it takes 2 minutes to mellow into a soft flowery, green, slightly woody scent for about the next 4 hours. After that it becomes more musky, without loosing much of its previous characteristics and remains like that for 2 maybe 3 more hours. It's feminine, clean but not soapy, it is kind of familiar and some may say "safe", lasts quite long, projects mostly moderately. Overall this is a very good find- for me at least: I got a lovely fragrance which I like, my husband likes, some of my friends commented on how good I smell and for once I hadn't had to dig deep into my pocket to get that. Do try it-you never know!!!

I purchased this fragrance due to the intense version being sold out. While it doesn't quite resemble the intense version in scent, it exudes a clean and refreshing perfume. I can distinctly detect notes of rose and musk on my skin. However, the projection and longevity do not meet my expectations. Instead, it offers a gentle and subtle aroma, akin to a soft trail that clings close to the skin. Despite this, I find it to be a beautiful option for a daily scent. Edit: I've bought estee lauder pleasure, it just come back again in here. Previously I thought this smells like Estee Lauder Pleasure, but when I compare it side by side on my left and right wrist.... Both are a clean smell however Yves Rocher smells more flowery (because of the rose) while Estee Lauder smells more green and white floral on my skin. Too bad Yves Rocher didn't last long. In my skin it only last 2 hours while Estee Lauder pleasure stay way longger...

This is a review for the limited edition by Sacrée Frangine (2016?), which I believe to have the same composition. Despite loving rhubarb and violets, the initial notes sound completely different to me, like a blast to the face of intense patchouli. It mellows down into really nice, intense but not sickening Lily of the valley. It's a pleasant lasting note that gives my skin an almost soapy fresh scent. If there is a rose, it's blended so gently I can't pull it apart from the lilly. I received these perfumes as a gift but I really disliked how they smelled on me as a younger woman. They really seemed like an overwhelming "grandma" scent. For some reason, a few years later, it smells very pronounced but not old fashioned, it's almost giving me a clean girl vibe with a kick of intensity, I completely changed my mind on it. Stays on the skin and clothes for a long time. It's a bit of a bomb, so don't overdo the sprays.
