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

It remainds me Ode à l'amour Yves Rocher for women. That was my favourite fragrances. And now these are too.

Wonderful odor and amazing long lasting smell. A really great perfume if you lime woodsy notes. 10/10 !

Smells really nice one me, very rosy! Smells really really good! Woods and rose are the perfect match.

Reminds me of Miss Dior Eau de Parfum (2017). A sweet, soft and lightly woody Rose scent! Love it!

i remember my mum dousing me in this perfume before sending me to primary school every morning lol

I love woody perfume. This one is very good and it stays a long time :)

Beautiful fragrance. Love it. Long lasting scent.

Very pleasant yet unexcited/unexciting warm spicy rose. Today I've been wearing it for 6 hours so far and I can't say that I'm perceiving any big changes or new facets over time. There are definitely various perceivable notes to it. There's a slightly muted rose - not the fresh rose scent that jumps at you in the morning, but more of an evening rose after a long hot day - i do get some mild pepper and a little tingle of patchouli. The woody notes are not all that apparent other than probably adding to the allover muted character of this. All of these impressions for me are there from beginning to end and in that sense it feels a bit too linear for my liking. Like many other reviewers before I would also call this a Floriental, a very soft one though. Longevity is quite good and I can easily smell it on myself. Others, however, only smell me if i'm quite close or moving around. Allover I do like it, yet I don't think I'll repurchase it after my bottle gets over. The thing is for me this seems most appropriate for early fall, when there's still some sunshine and it's not too cold yet but also not summer anymore. On such days it would definitely make a safe cozy pick for the day... But I own so many more deep and interesting fragrances which I like for that season, so I really don't see myself gravitating towards it all that often. I am just missing a certain spark here.

Quelques notes d'amour is a very enjoyable, rosy woody fragrance. I like the peppery beginning and the leathery facets of the wood. The rose is not old-fashioned and the pacthouli is not of the "dirty" type. The entire thing is rounded by a delicate degree of sweetness, ending in more woody vanilla than floral territory. (If you've tried YR's mono-note vanillas, you'll recognise it right away!) There is something dark in there that reminds me of sweetened black tea and I love it. While sillage is average, the fragrance lasts very long, leaving a pleasant fluffy, woody and powdery trail on clothes. Dare I say, a signature-worthy drydown, if you like soft orientals. Especially enjoyable in fall and winter, as it is a warm fragrance. I do think that it is a step ahead from Evidence and its many (boring) rose/patchouli reincarnations and the somewhat chemical Moment de Bonheur. And for the price it is a great bargain. The bottle looks well and I like the juice, but not enough for a purchase yet. Perhaps more testing would allow me to do Quelques Notes d'Amour better justice. The scented handkerchief testers are a great idea of YR's for a partial impression of the fragrance, as one could go easier than with a liquid sample. Nevertheless they skip almost all the peppery and deeper notes. Somewhat similar to: YSL Elle (which is spicier), Givenchy Play (which is much sweeter)

I just bought this beauty and it is my favourite YR at the moment. Since most my perfumes are heavy gourmands I wanted to treat myself with fresh rose for summer. That is not easy since I generally don't like flowers, specially roses. But this beauty captured me. It is stunningly creamy, soft, milky and perfectly rounded scent. I do believe but can hardly imagine how this can be horribly sweet and cloying to someone, since on my skin it is everything but cloying. It does have some sweetness but it is creamy and sensual. Rose is the most prominent, wood gives it depth and velvet feeling, little bit of patchouli character and lime freshness. Other notes add touch of orient. All together: sensual, sexy, warm rose scent that I can't get enough of. When I first tried it the impression was like I entered a white, empty, sunny room with big bouquet of pink roses and potpourri next to it. Gentle roses and slightly spicy woody aromatic velvety addition. It can be safe blind buy and a good gift.

I’ve had a sample bottle of this in my drawer for years, think I got it in a beauty subscription box at some point. I was pulling it out for a look today (as you do) and the top wasn’t on properly and it spilled all over my hand and iPad that was in my lap. And wow, I was expecting to have to clear up a stinky mess, but it was just... beautiful. Then I’ve looked up the ingredients, and it has my favourite combo or bergamot, rose and patchouli. Yes mainstream, and popular, but so what? It smells nice! The other notes add a bit of pepperiness and spice, but it’s a lovely, floral creamy, patchouli delight of a fragrance. I can still smell it on my hands after rinsing, and this was spilled hours ago. I used a cloth bag I had handy to wipe it off my ipad, so I’ll see how it’s faired on that tomorrow. Isn’t it nice to get a nice surprise from an old perfume?! Edit - next day my skin still smells pretty, but it’s faint. Still a nice strong smell on the cloth bag though!

This is a light scent for spring/summer with hint of spicy. Red pepper dominates this scent, so make sure you love red pepper. The patchouli is really clean so if you generally dont gravitate to it, this is really nice wearable version.It doesnt have a lot of depth and very clean. You cant hate patchouli in this one. I prefer something heavier in the base to give it some voluptuousness. If this is supposedly love, this is farthest from that.. Light infatuation maybe, but not love. This would work for someone: -That wants a modern, inexpensive, non offensive, office scent that isnt all sweet and syrupy but a little different. -Likes lighter bases and drydowns. Something that just gradually fades away as the day goes on -New to the Oriental genre and wants to stick a pinky toe in the water. Light spicy and woods.

I see a resemblance in most of Yves Rocher fragrance: a fruitiness/orange blossom and certain level of patchouli. Envisioning colors, some have a creative, almost 'purple' smell. ( Not this one.) Fresh/spicy, adoring but modern, and Exciting. Most of the time my skin reacts badly to this, with the woods shrieking, etc., as with Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. But, this one behaves so well on skin I found myself wishing it would suit my style. It may be the modern, sweet rose that I love which keeps this from going sour. Slightly powdery and rich from the benzoin. The kind of sweetness - reminding me vaguely of orange blossom - probably comes from the rose, but is equaled in strength by the green patchouli. Excellent sillage and longevity. The bottle reflects the fragrance perfectly.

Yves Rocher Quelques Notes d'Amour is a delicious love letter of red rose, with a creamy undertone of benzoin, guaiac wood and clean patchouli. There is also a tart edge of rose which balances the sweet creaminess nicely. The sillage is moderate to soft, and the longevity is around 10 hours. I do kind of get the Flowerbomb comparison, as both share the creamy praline-like note, although Quelques Notes d'Amour is tamer, more friendly and with a more pronounced rose. It's a nice addition to Yves Rocher line next to other lighter roses, such as Comme une Evidence and Moment de Bonheur. Not very original, but if you happen to be interested in a slightly gourmand rose, it may be a relatively affordable option.

On my skin the Patchouli/wood-notes is dominant - in a good way. A bit dark but very female'ish. A lot different when I compare to the EdT-version - and they both is perfect to layer. Quelques EdP is in my opinion perfect spring/fall scent. Maybe not for a teenager but sure a scent for a woman. the Patchouli-note reminds me a little of Coco Mademoiselle. På min hud är Patchouli/trä-noter mest dominanta - på ett bra sätt. Lite mörk doft men väldigt kvinnlig. Stor skillnad mot EdT-versionen - de är perfekta att ha lager på lager. Quelques EdP för mig är en perfekt vår/höst-doft medans EdT'n är perfekt för varma soldagar. Patchouli-noten påminner mig lite om Coco Mademoiselle.

I consider Yves Rocher to be one of the best producers of affordable perfumes with top notch quality (well, pretty close at least). Therefore I'm always interested in new creations and bought a sample bottle of Quelques. This is a blend of brittle roses leaned against a background of crisp patchouli and warm woods. It's endearing and likeable, but perhaps not as romantic as it aims to be. That aside, it's a great companion for bright and beautiful autumn days. It's certainly non offensive and has a very pleasant dry down, suitable for everyday use. Longevity's good, sillage very modest, almost shy like. Overall a fine buy if you enjoy fragile orientals.

A strong scent with fizzy pink rose and clean patch, cute! The first thing that came to mind was Flowerbomb. I looked the perfumer up and of course it's Domitille Bertier who stands behind both fragrances. Hello little wallet friendly cousin! I would have wanted a darker rose, it's a bit too clean and kind for my taste. No need for a blackened hardcore rose (even though I would have preferred it, not gonna lie!) but at least give me a bright red one that gives it some velvety body. A few more notes d'amour and less notes d'laundry and I would have adored it, now it's more of a guilty pleasure. But look it up if you're a hardcore Flowerbomb fan.

I had it years ago, but I still remember the scent very well. The rose combination that is more mature, I felt that I was smelling like a woman, not like a girl anymore. Most of the time I was finding this scent somehow comforting, and I would wear it all the time, but I had days when it was giving me a headache. When I think about it now, I would say that it’s an affordable offer with the rose scent that doesn’t smell extra sweet, that has some spice, and more depth, longevity and silage, but it can be too much for some.

Sweet fruity rose. Very tender, much more sugary than expected reading the reviews, but nowadays we’re bathed in caramelized notes so the noses have got used to a continuous maltol cloud. Back to the parfume. It’s not complicated : a motherly rose, some candied fructose, and the dry woody patch to hold them together. And it works, very well indeed. It’s kind, it’s nice, no dark shadows, no twisted mind. I like those « Few love notes » just like I enjoy the little clear pleasures of life.

So very very vanilla (benzoin) on me!! Woody vanilla with only a subtle rose. Way overpowering at first spray, but I did enjoy the pink pepper. I love vanilla, just feels like it should be a candle, not worn. I'm sure I'll wear it again, just not sure the proper occasion, and I'm in a warm climate. And the bottle is beautiful....it will always be special to me as my husband just brought it home from Paris. (note: When asking my 8 year old daughter what it smelled like, she said Roses.)

This is a nice perfume, but that ́s it for me. The opening is a sweet light woody rosy smell with a hint of green and citrus coming from the bergamot and it continues so later on, just the bergamot disappears. Thank God i can not detect any patchouli on this one. Sillage is not that great and i bet longevity isn ́t too. I think Yves Rocher play way too safe with it ́s perfumes. Every one i tried is so innoffensive. yes, this one is pleasant, but nothing to fall in love with.

Lovely soft, warm and slightly sweet scent. Much better wearable than the usual gourmand perfumes, they tend to smell like a sweetshop or a popcorn stand, but not this one. This is a perfume to wear for yourself, just as a little treat. Someone called it a shy perfume, and I can understand that, it is not overpowering. Absolutely one to try (especially since there are a lot of mixed reviews here. Probably because a lot of it depends on your skinchemistry)!

Quelques Notes d'Amour to me smells a bit like Comme une Evidence by Yves Rocher, which I really don't like. This one I strangely do like, it just seems a bit more well-rounded and original to me. I believe it's the benzoin that makes this perfume stand out a bit more. It's not really my kind of juice but I still enjoy wearing it sometimes.. When I go grocery shopping or whatever. I would never wear Quelques Notes on a night out.

Just like a new romance, this is a perfume where you need to wait to see what develops. I was about to write it off as pretty, but bland when it completely opened up on my skin turning into a gorgeous fingertip veil of soft rose, wood, and pepper. After about an hour the fizz of the bergamot fades away to be replaced by a cozy, warm base. A very lovely offering by Yves Rocher in a bottle worthy of the scent.

I honestly don't usually love Yves Rocher fragrances, but this one is really nice. A romantic, syrupy rose and balsamic woods. Good value for it's price, I found it long lasting with a decent sillage! However....the new bottle is just so unimaginably ugly. The typography is tasteless and does not fit the scent at all....such a downgrade from the simple and elegant original bottle.

I get a minty rose scent. I used to underestimate yves rocher fragrances. To my suprise i found myself longing for it. It can easily be a high end niche perfume.

smells so expensive and rich.so elegant that i can't wear it bc i don't wanna finish the bottle lol.floral and elegant.i think this is a springtime scent.

I like this very much, I prefer a sweet scent in the cold weather. I think it smells more expensive than it really is, and it stays on for a long time.

To me it's a very beautiful fruity rose.

Sweet and warm woody rose scent. Not dark. The rose here is a moist and dewy red rose that’s abit fruity and peppery (maybe a touch sour in the beginning). Reminds me of rose used in Arabic perfumes. If you’re not a fan of rose, definitely stay away. Some people complain about the scent smelling synthetic, but I don’t think it smells any more synthetic than the average designer scent that costs more money. It is harsh upon spraying, but calms down in a few minutes. The base is quite similar to So Elixir...woody, balmy, sweet, and warm. Gets abit powdery and soft in the drydown and less rosy. This scent is feminine, elegant, versatile and good for all ages. I feel like this could be a Burberry, so if you tend to enjoy fragrances by that house, this has the same cozy-elegance, slightly reserved, girl-next-door vibe. Good quality for the price. Not too distinctive or unique, but it’s very pleasant. Low sillage with 3 sprays (maybe this is climate dependent, but it’s a cool, dry winter when I am currently). I imagine you can do 10-12 sprays and it would fill a room in a beautiful way and not be offensive. Very good longevity, and I can actually smell the little scent cloud I’m in for hours after spraying. I have to say, I am enjoying this one. I’d wear it all year round (except hot days), and it will work well in many different settings.
