Quelques Notes d’Amour

I just received this in a swap. I had tested it a few times on paper and thought it was a nice floral for people who may not normally like florals. Today I am wearing it on my hand, and this is a wonderful spicy floral for cold weather. It is sweet, but really the spice and wood balances the sweetness well (I am not a huge fan of overly sweet perfume) I am impressed, I love the quality of Yves Rocher products but usually find them all a little too light for me, this lasts and my daughter described it was "yummy flowers" I am not a big fan of rose, but this rose is nice, it reminds me more of a rosewood note than rose itself, like in Ombre Rose, I see people calling it green , but I get no green from it. I guess I can see the relation to Flowerbomb, but there is something in Flowerbomb that turns me off, I think the patchouli in Flowerbomb is badly done (no one hate me please) I think it is just too sweet for a floral perfume, this is spicier and to my nose much more natural. I will certainly ask for another bottle when this runs out. Flowerbomb makes me feel too girly, this is more womanly to my nose, I love it. Edit: My skin eats perfume and the sillage on this is great, I am rather shocked actually. I can smell it every time I wave my hand around. Edit: After several hours of wearing this, the dry down is still quite strong but smells very much of a soft tuberose !! I am thinking this may be the mix of Amyris, Benzoin , and pepper, but that is just a guess as I have very little experience with Amyris. I would have said this is a pretty safe blind buy, but the fact that this turns very white floral on me makes me rethink that, I adore tuberose myself so this is perfect for me, but it may not be everyones cup of tea.

I'm not sure what to think of this perfume. It's not my favorite, but I can't get enough of it. I like to keep it on my shelf. I like to smell it when it gets under my hand. It's not a scent I would turn to often, but there is something unique about it that makes it dear to my heart. What I especially like about it: its rose scent. Because here's the thing, it's not a fresh rose at all, as often found in fresh floral perfumes, but rather a rose syrup concentrate (Damask Rose in particular, which I would recognize among a thousand), and I want to point out that rose syrup juice is my favorite summer drink, and has been since I was a child! This perfume is really a concentrate of love notes, and its name fits it like a glove <3 This scent also has a lot of character, with its resinous amber accord, lightly spiced with pink pepper. Very VERY different from the perfumes of these days, but not vintage at all! Really, a unique fragrance! And it got me soooo many compliments! So why isn't this my favorite? Surprisingly enough, in this perfume, sometimes it's the rose that is dominant (which I love) but sometimes it's the woody resinous notes that take over (which I like less). My nose plays tricks on me, but I don't mind, I never get bored with this perfume :-) Longevity: Very good. Projection: Medium. Bottle: TOO beautiful, I love it with its little heart!! and I HATE the new ugly bottle released in 2021 :( But at least, the scent is still exactly the same and not watered down! A 8.5/10 for this perfume!

Now that I almost finished my bottle I think it is the time to give a full review of this perfume. God! Quelques Notes d’Amour is the best (not one of the best) blind buy that I have ever done. I really did not expect it to be that good, it is almost cheap but it smells far more better than my expensive perfumes.I cannot get enough of it and I sprayed it so much that I finished the whole bottle in a few months. (and I wore it only at work) Quelques Notes d’Amour is warm, slightly spicy ,a little woody and very sweet. It is completely delicious. But its sweetness is not fruity, boring or generic. In my opinion it suits cold seasons, because it is very sweet, it may be cloying in warm weather. It stays very close to the skin, it is not loud or annoying but very long lasting.It is definitely sexy. The first day I wore it to office, two of my colleagues (both women) told me that I smell amazing and a male colleague just confirmed :D , and both of them asked the name of the perfume and 2 days later even one of them told me that she has actually bought a bottle for herself. Also my cousin, who is a perfume lover herself, tested all my perfumes when she was at my place and fell it love with it and told me to buy a bottle for her birthday and I did. Though I like most perfumes I hardly love a perfume, but I really love Quelques Notes d’Amour. I love the bottle, the name and the way it smells. If you are in to sweet yet sophisticated perfumes and you like roses, try it. It is amazing.

Despite its modest exterior, Quelques Notes d'Amour has become a surprise hit in my wardrobe since I bought it a couple of years ago. What you smell in the opening is more or less what you smell through the life of the fragrance: a charming, dreamy candied rose with faintly vanillic, woody undertones. I personally do not find the rose to be overly realistic, nor is it overly fresh. It's not dark, either; I don't detect much guaiac wood, if any, or any dirty, aggressive patchouli. It's a sweet, easygoing rose jam that is very easy to wear; in fact, it's probably the closest thing I have to a "dumb reach." If you truly despise rose in all its forms, then you may not like this, but I suspect that the sugary, fruity aspects of Quelques Notes d'Amour could charm many a rose-hating heart. I love this fragrance in nearly every type of weather, except for maybe high summer heat. It lasts all day on me with moderate projection. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a versatile fragrance that lends a touch of romance to the everyday.

I just opened the box, First impression:The box smells like a spicier So Elixir which is like a dream comes true, It also smells a little masculine and classic, which I also as a fan of unisex perfumes, find absolutely attractive.The bottle looks very pretty and original. On my skin unfortunately it smells like a completely different perfume! it smells like very sweet milk chocolate and vanilla which is not bad but I hate the fact that I only get vanilla and sweetness from almost every sigle perfume that I wear. I prefer to smell it from the very bottle. I will complete my review after wearing it for sometime. P.S (12 hours later) I think I am falling in love...

Another very good fragrance from Yves Rocher. I am absolutely in love with it. Roses, roses and patchouli, little bit spicy, romantic, elegant, feminine. It proudly sits in my collection next to Miss Dior and Coco Mademoiselle. Very concentrated and strong fragrance. Two sprays and you are good to go! It will stay there all day long. Too much of it will ruin the whole experience... This scent convinced me that Yves Rocher does the best job in creating very good budget friendly fragrances. Note: this one is not even in their deluxe range. But be warned, if you don't like roses this one is not for you!

I am a huge fan of Yves Rocher but I never actually loved any of their perfumes. But it seems I finally found the right YR perfumes: I ADORE this! By smelling it from the bottle I thought it smelt a little bit like an old women perfume, but as I tried it on me, I was amazed. The scent is original, elegant, perfect for day and night and in many occasions. I can smell the rose quite well so as bergamot and a spicy note given by the red pepper. It is not a strong perfume thought and I need to re-spray it throughout the day. Anyway, some people did stopp me asking which perfume I was wearing! ♥

One user compared this scent to the “new” Miss Dior (2017). I find MD ‘17 to be more of a juicy orange blast with rose and patchouli. Quelques Notes has the rose and patch but more spice and less citrus. Overall impression is of a candied, spicy rose with woody undertones. Structurally similar to Iris d’Or by Bulgari, it is a strong (yet not screechy) floral sweetness with a creamy, woody base. Sugar and spice. She doesn’t need to try too hard. This one is really growing on me and leaves a lovely trail.

For me, this sits nicely in the space between commercial and niche perfumes — it’s very approachable and relatively simple to my nose, yet in no way cheap or synthetic. I like wearing this at any time of the day, when I simply want to smell comforting to myself and not give too much thought to mood and weather and the like. Reminds me of my mom somehow. Unlike most of my other frags, this also does remarkably well on sillage and longevity in the humid climes of Singapore.

Beautiful job ! Finally Yves Rocher launches a new and original fragrance. It's been a long time I waited for a real new feminine fragrance (since So Elixir), and not all these Comme une Evidence flankers or Moment de Bonheur...which are "déjà vu". High quality, sophisticated, delicate. Rose, pink pepper and wood are very present. It comes to a sugary sweet rose, warm and dreamy. A new classic for Yves Rocher ! Very good lasting power, wonderful bottle and perfect name.

I usually can't stand patchouli. But here, mixed with woody spicy rose, it manages to feel warm and light at the same time, and so beautiful. As another comment said, it has a strong bohemian vibe, and it's really unique and emotional. Perfect for Fall and if you like a light oriental rose. When sprayed on clothes, one day after, it turns to unpleasant monochrome patchouli. The fragrance stays floral and warm for a longer time on skin.

I put the beastly Goldea on one arm and Quelques Notes on the other arm in the sticky summer heat. Goldea went “poof” but the sweet resin of Quelques Notes lingered. I think you can pull this off in summer. Update: Now I am getting sparkly lime or bergamot in addition to pepper, rose, patchouli and sugar, with a warm benzoin base. It’s a surprisingly uplifting scent I have so far enjoyed in spring and summer.

What a throwback, i stole this from my mother when i was younger, she never found out because she never used it. but wow i totally forgot how beautiful this fragrance is. It smells expensive, woody and rosy.from reading the other reviews it seems it has been reformulated. i'm going to find an old bottle of this and cherish it ahahahha

Rosy, woody and spicy. This perfume is very Yves Rocher ! At start, the rose is fizzy but a few hours later, it's more powdery. I don't know why but I think this perfume is a little bit gourmand..maybe because I love Dilmah rose ceylon tea^^ I would wear it in winter, for day and maybe in spring.

I realize why the opening of Quelques Notes delights me so. It’s the comfort of childhood treats. Toaster Strudel hot from the oven, or a fresh baked raspberry filled glazed donut from Krispy Kreme. So far, it’s the perfect jammy rose I’ve been looking for.

This is my new favorite! Makes people ask me what I ́m wearing and say I smell wonderful. It is like roses in a damp forest a early morning in late summer - spicy and comforting. A true love for me.

Excelente, excellent, excelent, spicy but balanced and soooooooooooo very good. Lasts long, compliments every time I wear this lovely perfume. Highly recommended! Love it !

Beautiful, woody, floral - something that I missed since "Voice" disappeared! Smells wonderful on me, I'm looking forward to autumn because of this one:)

Very rose at begining, powdery in the middle and then, very patchouli (mix with something else?) as a drydown. For woman who assume their perfume.

layer this with a simple caramel scent (e.g. ZARA Oriental) and voilá - u get a perfect dupe of Nina Ricci L ́Extase. love
