Desir de Nature

Sharply green and yet sweet, this is a wonderful scent by Yves Rocher. It dries down quickly into an unusual note. I don't get any mint or juniper but there's a soothing note. I don't know what to call it but I've smelled it before. Almost powdery, a bit floral, maybe a hint of musk? A better nose than mine is needed to suss it out. Like some YR fragrances, Desir flattens out quickly and sinks into the skin. I have to amend this review: Desir is long lived. The scent doesn't project much but it does stick around without changing much. DdN is an unusual scent, but I like it very much. Hopefully the large bottle I've ordered will be as great as the micro mini I already have. Speaking of the bottle: the leaf design is pretty and well chosen for the scent. This feminine fragrance is perfect for every day use. Here's an interesting addition to my review: the edt is quite a bit different than whatever is in the small bottle I tested. Maybe it's an edp or even the pure perfume, the edt is fresher and somewhat similar to Cabotine by Gres. Which isn't a bad thing - I like Cabotine - but the edt lacks the rich smoothness I love so much in the sample.

I received this as a gift a long, long time ago - 100 ml. I still enjoy this immensely. I only wear this every now and then, and keep it in its original box in a cool/dark place. This perfume is connected to a lot of my memories. It's definitely a summer perfume more then anything else, and is best to be worn on the hottest days. For me, it's one of those cooling frags that i like to wear in the summer in order to "mentally" cool my senses and as barbiot35 mentioned, it DOES strongly refreshes the mood. Almost like wearing a personal air-conditioner wherever you go! I guess the Mint does the trick for that effect. ;) Despite it being more of a summery perfume, i do wear it throughout the year, every once in a while, when i am in the mood of course. On my skin, it starts a little harshly green, but then fades into a really pleasant sweet and slightly green scent that lingers gently. I must admit, it does put me in a good mood when i wear it, and it also has a bit of that relaxing factor. The only thing i don't like is the slightly new design of the bottle/cap... I like the old, more organic design, from the mid 1990s.

This is one of my favorites. It is one of the few florals that does not come off harsh and screechy on my skin. I don't find that it matches it's description at all, though. It is sweet, but not cloying, and has a flowery freshness throughout that reminds me of shampoos from the 70s or 80s. It isn't exactly a warm scent, but I am having a hard time finding the right description for a strong floral fragrance that is not high-pitched and bright. The green background scent is slightly sweet and soft as well, and is barely perceptible to my nose, and I don't smell anything woody at all. I love it, and you can't beat the price.

I have bought this yesterday because i'm suspecting YR to discontinue it soon since it's been around for a while and because i had a -50% discount . Plus my mother who passed away had it nearly 20 years ago , so for the sake of the old times i wanted to have it. I really don't get any sweet note in this scent in any way ! O_o I don't know where people do find them ... It's like freshly cut grass and a LOT of lily of the valley , very fresh green and crispy , great for hot days .

This fragrance is discontinued for some years in my country, sadly. It is a green, herbal, crisp, mossy yet velvety scent. I agree that one of the main components is musk, hence the velvety, creamy dry down. A very 90's scent, reminds me of Kenzo's 90's launches like Jungle, L'eau par Kenzo...Not very similar but in the same category. Longevity very good - up to 8 hours. Silage moderate. very nice base notes...
