Folies de Saisons L'Esprit Dans Les Etoiles En Hiver

The winter scent from Yves Rocher's 2nd Folies de Saisons range is called "L'ésprit dans let étoiles en hiver" and it is a gourmand. The smell is very unique, I have never smelled anything like it but I can try to somehow describe it. It smells like ice and cold air, not sure where the ice note is coming from, but the cold air comes from a flowery note which I cannot determine but it is not the jasmine. This cold winter frag is warmed and sweetened by an unbelievably delicious smell of some kind of gummi bears that have not been made before. Please note, I hate how real gummi bears smell and I think they are disgusting and I wonder how people really enjoy those as their smell is very plasticky but the gummi bear scent in this fragrance is just perfect! YUMMY! I can picture those yet-to-be-made gummi bears to be frozen, smashed into tiny pieces with a hammer, then melted and shock-frosted. It does not smell cheap or over-sugared at all, it is just perfect. (And I am not joking, if you read some of my previous reviews, you know that I like fruity scents but detest sugar) When I went through my empty bottles last week I smelled the cap of one of my empty bottles of this scent and I loved it. I remember wearing it, I actually finished my last bits last winter, and I miss it badly. It was really long-lasting, too, and as good as the Fantaisies d'Hiver. Fantaisies d'Hiver was a sweet snow scent, while this beauty was a sweet ice scent. I wish they would relaunch all those Folies de Saisons scents as I miss wearing real winter fragrances, like those, in winter. I recommend this one strongly. Buy it if you ever have the chance.

This really does smell of winter! Initially I was unsure about this, I got it off eBay and the colour was a bit off and I just didn't really 'get' the smell, in fact Gummi Bears as previously mentioned was almost accurate... It went in the suitcase of random ones I didn't really like under the bed and was forgotten. Today however, despite being mid August I'm craving winter so badly! I'm eating gingerbread, drinking warm milk and reading about a midwinter morning when the urge to smell this drives me out of bed to hunt for it! Lo and behold, it smells icy and cool yet the tinge of almonds and christmassy candied orange comes through with a cold floral scent that just evokes any icy landscape. It's a hideous bottle but I'm so glad I bought it now, it's earned its place in a main trunk with others now for the winter feeling! Longevity isn't amazing and sillage is pretty small but I'm loving the feeling it gives.

Oh wauw!!! Yves Rocher did the whole Folies Saisons two years in a row?? I didn't know that!! This one sounds AMAZING looking at the notes! Is anyone here that really has this??

I saw I had a mini of the Folies range with a white cap! I'll try if it is this one, I should be able to smell all the gourmand notes, not?
