Moment de Bonheur

I'm grateful to discover that it was only what was present in the tube of the atomiser that had turned bad on my bottle. I returned so seldom to it, that each time I applied I was inevitably receiving rotten sprays. But this time I just pushed through, I sprayed into the sink first. A lot of us must share this ritual. Am I right? If ever I receive a used scent or have not sprayed a scent for a long time, I'll spray once, twice, thrice, into the sink, before applying to my skin. To rid the tube of stink. Stink sink. Though often it smells good, then the kitchen or bathroom are fragrant. I'm still not, never was, in the mindset that this is similar to Chloe. I do not find them similar at all. Something that really stands out for me when reading reviews is that people find this to be less soapy than Chloe. For me it's the opposite and I've never actually thought of Chloe as a soapy scent. This, to me, is the epitome of a soapy rose. I don't really enjoy the sharpness in the opening of this. It misses the mark for me, unlike Chloe. One of my chagrins was the lack of lasting power for MOMENT. I felt that it was just that, a mere moment. I now believe it's olfactory fatigue. I think it lasts for at least a couple of hours. It's rather strong to begin with, so it could easily cause some degree of anosmia. As long as I don't compare to Chloe, I can enjoy this. Looking at the smell alike voting up top, I see that Escada Especially is there. It's about as similar to that as it is to Chloe. Gotta be said. There's a green apple element to this, rather than the lichee of Chloe. I'm never keen on lemon or apple or violet in a rose scent. I've never understood the necessity perfumers feel to add these notes in order to enhance rose. It just doesn't work for me, so why does it please so many others? It's tiresome. Overdone. Thankfully the soapiness here keeps some balance. But the apple is present, to my nose. At this point I'm visualising in my head the amount of votes saying it smells like Chloe again and I just can't be bothered writing anything more or taking the time to take this seriously, with that in mind. Really... Anyway, coming back.... I do like this but it doesn't smell expensive like my Chloe does. It smells like a CABOTINE or the like. That's not intended as an insult to that brand, it just isn't on par, per se with Chloe. As a side note, It's a shame that this wasn't part of the Yves Rocher Essences range because they might have made for a better, higher quality type of scent. Their ROSE ABSOLU from that range was an excellent flanker for Rose Jam by LUSH, but they didn't have a fresh and natural type rose in that set of scents. A real shame. A pleasant, sharp, sweet & soapy rose, green apple, mossy base. The price this sells for on eBay.... 🥴😬🫣

'Makes me think this is a riff on Joy by Jean Patou in addition to Chloe due to the enduring rose top note in it and the way the rose top note in Joy smells after a few hours on my skin and hair(trick learned from a grandmother & customer who lived through WWII is to spray into hands then distribute through hair and body to make fragrance last all day-she told me few know this about fragrance anymore but applying to hair by running through to scalp really does work. If done after shower & before bed, my experience is that fragrance will be present upon awakening & then all that needs to be done is one spray to freshen for the day.) Note that without the Musk/Civet & Sandalwood in Joy by Jean Patou, the Patchouli without Sandalwood & Musk/Civet in it carries the rose and green notes differently so the lingering effect is not heavy but lightly pleasant and suitable for anytime including wear in the workplace if applied no more than 2-3 sprays for the day. This fragrance combines well with many other fragrances that have less rose scent or, absent rose, have either or both Sandalwood or Patchouli in them. PS: The 'smoky' effect that some have mentioned is part of the complexity of Patchouli as it develops with the other components of this fragrance.

I'm really charmed by this perfume. Not too heavy of a rose smell. A lovely perfume for a beautiful Spring day. Or even a rainy Spring day as this particular day has turned out to be. With my body chemistry it didn't last long at all though, so I'll try the spritzing it on my clothes technique and see if that helps. But within 3 or 4 hours I couldn't smell it on my wrist. Also seems to have a very soft sillage, right close to the skin. I got the sample size of this and I'm not sure yet if I'll buy the FB. There is a definite rose smell to this and it's a beautiful one. It really is like burying your nose in a bouquet. I never pick up on pink pepper, but like Malene, I get a whiff of tea and I really love that. It keeps the floral from being overbearing and gives me a sort of Zen feeling, yep, definitely brightening up my rainy day! To me, this seems to be a fragrance for all ages, casual events, daytime wear in the Spring and maybe Summer. Pretty skirts, blouses, dresses and sandals come to mind with this one. I have to say, it's brightening up this rainy day too!

I can’t believe this is discontinued! I remember being obsessed with the tiny bottle my mom had when I was younger. I’d play with it and smell it every chance I got, careful not to waste any since my mom warned me to use it sparingly. I still have it, and the scent hasn’t changed a bit, it’s still wonderful. I’m a little sad that some of it is used up. Part of me wants to sell it, but I also want to keep it as a little treasure. The fragrance itself is just beautiful. I feel like people are too harsh on this perfume. Maybe it’s because they have spray bottles and the perfume gets more evenly spread, instead of the direct dab you get from a tiny bottle (am I just making up reasons here?)... I don’t know what it is, but it smells so good on my skin. It’s clean without any synthetic or detergent-like undertones, just powdery, light, and sweet. Such a smooth blend of pure beauty.

I strangely don't get the sweetness some people are talking about. I get a prominent rose, but in a lovely way and green notes. Although some would maybe associate it to spring or summer... Because of its freshness, I tend to lean more towards late summer and fall for this one. The green and flowers are "mature" like a late summer but yet fresh for a warm fall day. Yes a sunny fall day that's it! It is chic and classic like a rose but carefree. It doesn't feel synthetic to my nose either. I bought it when it just came out just after sniffing the sample I received in the mail. It was nostalgic for me. I couldn't put my finger on it... But it took me to a comfortable place. I got the same feeling for "Comme une évidence".

I've had this for years and never been a fan. It's not bad but it has no lasting power and is NOTHING compared to Chloè. Definitely a dupe for it, but not a good one. Too sharp, pungent. Has that sort of apple note that companies too often include to heighten the scent of rose. I hate that. Chloé doesn't have that at all. "OK" scent if you want an (inferior) alternative to Chloè, but even if you're a fan - the lasting power is non - existent. Major point to make (I get that I'm falling on deaf ears here) is that this TURNS BAD. It does not keep. Waste of time. Waste of money. Waste of effort to voice any opinion that doesn't befit the masses.

The few first minutes I smell pink pepper and earl grey tea. Then after a few minutes it develops into a more complex scent – almost sparkling, reminding me a little of Yvresse only softer and more fresh. I don’t sense any sweet gourmand notes at all - something many other YR fragrances contain (So elixir, Rose absolute and flower party). I don’t know if it is the Rosa centifolia but there is a very charming flower note that I really like which is beautifully accompanied by soft cedar. It is not a great, deep personality but a pretty little jewel - I can’t help but love it.

I love this!! I remember it was launched in my country in autumn, and they recommended in the shop as an autumn scent. I don't get it, for me it was pure spring.I asked the saleswoman about her experiences, but she said she didn't like it, her hubby said it was like a sour wine on her skin . haha I liked the spray on my wrist so I took risk and bought it. It's my favorite spring perfume. I like rose and green notes together. I just bought one today again, although I wont use it in winter but it was on sale and it will be great for spring. Love love love !

I love this thing. So cheap yet such a refined quality scent. I wanted to buy Keiko Mecheri's Attar de roses(which IS a stunning rose perfume) but the longevity of the scent was so disappointing. I got this instead for a tenth the price and ten times the longevity and silage. It has some green notes keeping it from being cloying and too jammy but at the same time it has a sweetness and darkness to it (maybe the wood). If usually roses go sour on you or they are too jammy and cloying, this is the perfect compromise. Did I mention how cheap it is?:P

Although the perfume is listed as green and fresh, i get a sweet scent on my skin. The sweetness reminds me of Persian traditional ice cream, with saffron, rose water and pistachios. Even the bottle is reminiscent of pistachio nuts: pink fuschia and grass green. I digress... It's a lovely and youthful scent. Why was this discontinued is beyond me? Luckily I bought 2x50ml edp last year in Paris before the definitive discontinuation. I'm wearing it now in winter but it's a typical late spring/early summer smell.

This a very beautiful rose scent: youthful, whimsical, fresh and sophisticated.. it is all I expected and more. The rose in this is delicate and floral, showcased by green notes. It is not a gourmand rose or a heavy one, such as in the case of Rose Absolue. The lasting power is moderate, but reapplication is a pleasure and I also use the lotion (which has an incredibly creamy, silky texture), which helps the fragrance last longer. I will definitely repurchase this in the future.

This perfume truly does its name justice. "Moment de bonheur", meaning " A Moment of Happiness" (although "bonheur" actually has more connotations than happiness - pleasure, luck, kindness, etc.) is a really fresh, uplifting, rosy perfume that makes a great choice for spring. Instant breath of fresh air, better than your morning espresso. It has a sparkly personality and it just makes you feel wonderful and pampered, as in early childhood. Goodbye, worries!

I am a Chloe addict lol. I LOVE all things Chloe. I heard this was a dupe so I ordered a mini on ebay. I got it a few mins ago and when I opened the package, the cap separated from the bottle somehow and then I dropped it. Now my kitchen floor smells just like CHLOE. I am super sad about this. What a disappointment. What I can say is that from what i can smell from the spillage, it definitely is a Chloe dupe.

This is at the moment my favorite one...i bought it immediatly after smelling in Como...it's so fine and feminine. I don't know if it's similar to Chloè (never had), but I simply love to wear it! I really love how this make me feel...clean and feminine. It's absolutely perfect for the offici, but also a little bit sexy for a dinner!

Moment de Bonheur - meaning in english 'Moment of Happiness'. This is a really nice sweet (but not too sweet) powdery-floral fragrance for the spring and summer months. Stays on me for about four hours so it's not too over powering. If you want a pretty floral fragrance for the warm months ahead this one is for you.

This perfume is the best of all Yves Rocher scents. It is so gentle and smells so nice of roses, uhm. I think it maybe reminds me a little bit off chloe scents, but only a little bit. This scent is also a bit powdery as Chloe. This is my new favorite scent out of the 5 I usually use - a really nice everyday scent.

Roses, I love the smell of the roses!. In perfumes the rose is often a little to heavy and one dimensional for my taste. But in this blend the rose is just right! A green and a bit spicy pink rose centered scent for daytime. I don't use it often, but when I do its with great pleasure!

When I spray it, first i smell something very sweet caramel like thing, but it disappears as it touches my skin, and become very pleasant floraly sweety yet light scent. On me it stays on for a long time, i could feel it when i washed my hair at night, and i used it in the morning!

A glorious rose perfume, with an alluring green feel to it. Beautiful! Such lovely fresh rose, warm patchouli, earthy wood and green textured/garden smells. Silky soft and feminine. Gorgeous!!! And I just adore the bottle and the colours of the design!!! Stunning!!!

My grandma has it and she's not using it!:( I must ask her to give it to me, it's so wonderful!:) It's this type of perfume that always makes you feel good, no matter what. And when you have no idea what scent to wear today, this one is always a good idea!:-)
