Quelques Notes d’Amour L'Eau de Toilette

I swear this used to have a pleasant balance between fruity, floral, and woody. Now it's just not the same anymore. It has become pretty dull in comparison to how it was originally formulated. I bought this about 6 years ago. Still have the same bottle. All used up. I tried going to different branches of Yves Rocher to restock as it has become one of my favorites, but lo and behold, the scent was no longer the same. I gaslit myself a few times, thinking that maybe my nose just got it wrong, or maybe I just got the name of the fragrance wrong. I finally decided to bring the nearly empty bottle with me after a few failed attempts at scent-matching. I even showed it to the sales personnel so we can compare together. And I was right; there had to have been an unannounced reformulation. This probably happened around the same time Yves Rocher changed their packaging for their signature floral EDT's from pretty tinted glass bottles to recycled, clear, generic-looking glass spray bottles.

This is a very different beasty from its edp. Where the eau de parfum is warm, deep and comforting like a blanket, this eau de toilette is fresh and fruity in a very nice way. It is green fruity, like you are walking through the garden, brushing the berry-bushes. I like the edp, but I love this eau de toilette. It is a bit like the "So elixir"-scent by YR: there the edp gives me a headache, but the edt is lovely. I can imagine people feel the same way about these sister-scents. So if you can't stand the edp, don't skip the edt!

Totally different from the edp version. It is fresh rose with black currant and grapefruit. It smells very similar to Baby Doll or In Love Again by YSL. Adorable scent, quite long lasting for an edt. Love the bottle as well.

So far, it's my favorite Yves Rocher perfume because I like rose scents that are still fresh and light, without having that overly sweet, almost chemical scent that some rose-based perfumes have.

Quelques Notes d'Amour EDT opens with a very intense cassis on me. So green and sugary, that it almost makes me think of burnt plastic. But within minutes, it soon softens into raspberry and sugar-coated rose. Although raspberry is among my least favourite notes, here it's not too artificial, saccharine or gooey, and even gets a bit fresher with time. The tart-sweet raspberry feels like one of the aspects of a real rose, only that it happens to be amplified in this case. The fragrance then remains as such until the end. The sillage is moderate to soft, and the longevity is around 8 hours. I was initially repulsed by the agressive opening, but the dry down really surprised me with its tart-sweet raspberry-rose. Quelques Notes d'Amour is still quite sweet, but not to the extent of being unbearably artificial. Compared to the original EDP, while both can be categorized as a gourmand rose, the EDP has a more pronounced patchouli contribution, and a creamy texture from resins in the dry down which EDT lacks. Continuing the gourmand rose theme, this EDT is a nice alternative to those who are not very comfortable with the patchouli in EDP. I'd recommend it as an affordable fruity floral gourmand rose, as long as you don't mind intense cassis.

Contrary to the majority of perfumes, one should not rely on the opening of this perfume to say No! Indeed it is one of the rare perfumes of which I did not appreciate the opening (so aggressive, acidulous, and pungent) but which I LOVED the evolution! I love aromatic scents, and this perfume captivated my heart with its dominant sweet rose (my favorite flower), the sweet-sour blackcurrant without being dominant for once (finally!), and the cedar that gives it a fresh woody character, which makes this perfume far from being heady and won't bother anyone around you! It's a bit girly though. However, the longevity is not impressive, you have to touch up regularly, but that's an EDT so it's normal. I find it very suitable for work! This perfume reminds me a lot of: - "Trésor Midnight Rose" by Lancome (but it's too sweet and fruity for my taste because of the dominant raspberry) - "Luminata" by Avon (but is too synthetic, and the rose is replaced by peony, which I like less) - "Si" by Giorgio Armani (but this one clearly stands out because of the extra vanilla note!) I could see myself wearing this perfume during the day, at work, and during cool seasons, spring especially! 8/10

I think this one share some similarities with Jo Malone Blackberry and bay but Blackberry & Bay has more intense green in it. when I smell Blackberry and Bay for the first time during holiday last year (I want to buy first jo malone but end up didn't) , I keep thinking to myself I swear I've smelled something like this before but never had a deep thought about it until this summer, when I'm about to move I opened a perfume drawer to declutter some of them I sniffed every single one of my bottles to make sure I make right decision. And then this Quelques Notes d’Amour L'Eau de Toilette hit me hard!!!! this is smell exactly like Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay. I had forgot it for a long long time because I've got it for free and don't bother to use it. When I smell this perfume at the first time I think it's nice but nothing more and nothing like Armani Si except they share 1 single notes and that's it the rest is totally different. For me this one is typical Yves Rocher's creation - floral - has some green that remind me of nature - light and easy to use

This seems to remind many people of Armani Si, a perfume I don't care for. I can somewhat see it, but this is more sheer, less sweet and lacks a nauseating note I pick up on in Si. To me this is a true blackcurrant rose. Blackcurrant/cassis is easily one of my least favorite notes but in this composition it works very well. I am reminded of a piece of soap I had as a kid, it was purple and shaped like... a mink, oddly enough. I never used it since I would rather just keep it the way it was, but I would smell it, and it smelled like this.

Rather than this scent having a top, mid, and base, it appears to me all notes are working together to create a true to life dewy red rose with leaves and fresh cut stems. It reminds me of that delicate scent of a red rose bouquet in a vase of water. However, this is no boring scent either, there is a subtle spicy herbal accord in the background. It is very fresh indeed, and perfect for hot summers when sweet scents become too much to handle.

A great surprize! A lovely mix of fresh Rose, Cassis and woody notes. An airy softpeppery note as well, maybe the Ambrette/woody note in mix. Perfect for summertime. Reminds me a lot of Marc Jacobs Lola EdP. En rejäl överraskning! en skön mix av fräscha rosor, svartvinber och träiga noter. Jag upplever även en mjuk pepprig luftig not - kanske Ambrette/trä mixen som skapar detta. Perfekt sommardoft. Påminner om Marc Jacobs Lola EdP.

Unfortunately after having this on eBay for several months with no buys I've had to accept the hard fact that it's unsellable. So I've decided to give it a more serious try and it's really grown on me. Enough to use about 50 ml anyway. Rose is not my note but the muskmallow makes it gourmand and enjoyable. Thanks mom!

I own this one. I think EDT is a lot more beautiful than EDP. It's more sheer, fresh (i think that the rose accord in EDP os more on the oily side), not as sweet as EDP and definitely more wearable and classy. Love it!

The opening is incredibly acidulous, like squeshing a lime/lemon although those ingredients are not listed. After that, it smells like roses. Good fragrance.

Quite sweet scent, even if I can't see typical sweet notes listed. Nice, but not fresh enough for me.

So I bought a 75ml bottle of this beauty and I'm very happy with my purchase. It's not expensive. The bottle is beautiful and the juice is feminine and long-lasting. It performs really well in the tropical weather of Mauritius and that's a big plus for me. The perfume itself is a sexy rose - it's a gorgeous red rose- sweetened not by sugar but by fruits, accompanied by a mash of leaves and twigs. There's some green notes to this scent which balances everything. Honestly for the price and the lasting power, I prefer this to a lot of high end perfumes.

This is a fresh, zesty rose with lots of blackcurrant. Perfectly suitable for the hot weather we're having. It has just the right amount of "tang". It smells fruity in a good way, like icy cold mineral water flavoured with citrus and berries. There's also something slightly herbal and green about it. And I smell some pink pepper. It's sheer and light and yet noticeable. Dries down to delicate spice and amber. Overall a pleasant and safe fragrance without being boring. Definitely worth checking out.

With its fruity-green blackcurrant note, Quelques Notes d’Amour EDT is somewhere between YSL In Love Again, Armani Si and Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eau. Don't get fooled by the same name, it's very different from the original EDP.

Reminds me a lot of Armani Si. A very good successful fragrance not only for the spring or summer. Without the smoky notes of Gujak wood. It is durable for an eau de toilette.

I like it. Its more girlish. Some plastic pink rubber scent with very little incense and turkish tea scent.

A fresh, well made, woody rose, what's not to love?
