Naturelle Osmanthus

I am so happy I discovered this beauty in the middle of August. It's the perfect spring and summer perfume. I love these simple compositions, which only consist of few notes. It's a very natural smelling perfume and I like the fact that the lemon note is subtle, since I dislike strong citrusy fragrances. I can smell osmanthus, lemon and cedar, the jasmine is not prominent on my skin. Sillage is moderate, longevity is about 3-4 hours. The scent is very fresh, sunny and happy, it smells like you've just walked out of the shower. I can see myself wearing this on a daily basis - it's perfect for the office, long strolls in the park, lazy day by the beach, romantic date or a night out with friends. And last, but not least, the bottle is gorgeous.

I got this beautiful perfume yesterday and sprayed it all over my arms and went to bed ... and, the next morning I smelled of the most wonderful tea I ever could imagine! I'm an osmanthus lover, and this perfume is absolutely GORGEOUS! Now, first came the citron, and than the osmanthus, much osmanthus (WoW!!), and it covers all the other notes listed, which is very okey :) This will be an easy to grab perfume, this perfume is citrusy-fresh, it smell clean and soft, and it is very office-friendly. I think it will smell great on every woman of every age and also for men of all ages :D Great work Yves Rocher, 12/10 !!

I love this perfume for the days when I volunteer at a sweaty, dirty place that makes me feel very un-fresh very fast. This perfume projects a sweet, clean, fruity scent that reminds me exactly of Fa Exotic Garden Spray Deodorant, the one in the orange can for those of familiar with this European brand. It's a sweet, juvenile citrus-fruity scent that just makes me happy.

Incredibly long lasting and in a lovely way. Stlyish kinda freshness. Just what I was looking for. And this for a reasonable price. A gem to me.

Well, as a floral & aquatic scents lover, I bought this right away after a quick smell at the store. Honestly I just wanted to give it a shot. When I sprayed it on me this morning, it smelled really fresh and noticeable. Unlike my L'Eau par Kenzo, which has a very spicy note at first then comes all the gentle floral things, I felt this much more of a girlish thing for teenagers. I still think it's suitable for everyone, but the feeling it gave me was not as gorgeous as something that a lady would like to wear. This will be a perfect choice as a sport perfume (though you have to re-apply after 2-3 hours). A good perfume for a regular sunny day, but nothing special about it :(

Bright-bright-bright. A zesty, effervescent citrus punch adorned by flowers. Feels very youthful and of the moment, and nice for when you want to feel very fresh and clean (in a lemony way, not a laundry way) but with a feminine edge. This perfume is 85% zingy top notes that take a while to fade away. The middle: very pretty, but rather nondescript clean body wash-like floral. This is perfectly pleasant but there's not enough osmanthus for me. I bought the mini but don't think I'll spring for the full bottle. If you're a citrus lover, though, try this.

Thanks to my swap-friend Marquisa, I have it and I just wear it. We have a warm,sunny day here today,a really middle-June scenery. Well,I feel so nice wearing it,I feel the breeze of flowers-to me smells so apricot-ey-,just a lovely touch of a magic finger of lemon,a light aura of cedar and a great longevity of 6h+ makes it an amazing choice for those days...Is a playfull and vivid perfume,you gonna love it for sure.Bonus the lovely bottle and a nice low price! Can you ask for more? Highly recommented.

when I first sprayed this I was not impressed, even disappointed as I could barely smell the fragrance at all - just a light, fresh sweet lemon regardless of how much I sprayed. But then after 30min or so, WOW. I was hit with this lovely sweet, slightly powdery apricot smell. This smell is nothing like I've smelt before, I love powdery fragrances and I have a few of them but this smell is different, more waxy yet so light and relaxing. Very nice! So don't judge it only by the opening, wait for it!

I find this to have great longevity on my skin! I agree with the person below who says this smells like tea. After a while, the lemon dies down a bit and a lovely, slightly green, sunny tea emerges. It is not in-your-face, but is great for casual wear, or for wearing when you want something low-key. I am almost finished up my mini and likely won't repurchase, but I definitely enjoyed it while I had it. :)

Very delicate floral, girly, happy and radiant. Discreet yet noticeable. It starts fresh and lemony, then jasmine and osmanthus are joining in before it fades away with soft resinous cedar. My teenage daughter choose it from all available YR scents and I really like it on her. Longevity is moderate, 5-6 hours max, but let's admit a powerhouse of a fragrance is not always needed. Or appropriate.

super inoffensive, but will keep you smelling like a sunny april morning. comforting, simple, deserving of her name, she really is natural! I once got told I smell like the earth after rain when I was wearing this & can definitely smell it now, esp once most of the lemon wears off. bright and just a tad damp in the best way. adore!

Fresh and stylish, good for spring. This is a dance of citrus and osmathus, nice combo! Michel Girard knows how to make elegant feminine fragrances!Cedar is fortunately quite weak but plays an important role in cementing the base properly.Only minus comes from a poor staying power. Very much wearable.

Oh, wow, what an enticing scent. Lemon and osmanthus upfront, it's bright, juicy, happy and feminine. Unlike Guerlain Allegories, Yves Rocher Naturelle Osmanthus delivers more than it promises. It's a beautiful perfume, fruity yet delicate. It's spring and summer in a bottle. Fantastic.

Happy lemony beginning develops into apricoty floral. I have never smelled actual osmanthus so I do not know how true to the flower's scent this is, but it does match the description. It doesn't project much and after 4-5 hours I need a respray, but it is a good summer office perfume.

Although I'd be happier with more citrusses in this perfume, I still love it - it's a deep, rich and long-lasting scent in this "plant" category, the woody notes are baeautiful - I sometimes use my mom's bottle;P

This smells like a nice shampoo, fresh and light fruity sweet. Comforting and relaxing. Very good for spring. Sillage is soft, longevity is good. I recommend it to simple, natural ladies. Final note: 7/10

For people who love to have it and can't find it,is still available online in Belgium and in discount prices. Enjoy! (I also have a half bottle left of it for swap,if someone is interesting in.)

This sounds promising. I dislike the original Naturelle, because is way too citrusy and aquatic for me, but this hopefully will be more interesting and more floral!

Zesty version of Eclat d'Arpege. Lanvin one is more floral. This is more fruity. Both have Osmanthus note and it is very light and fresh everyday scent.

On my first wear of this, all I really got was bright lemon. It’s definitely cheerful and pleasant. It’s probably the most “clean” fragrance I own now.
