l'Effleur Coty for women

Is my all-time favorite. L'effleur was my signature fragrance through the 80s and 90s. How I wish they would bring it back again!

I used to wear l'Effleur back in middle school. I was attracted to the advertisements featuring Victorian style decoupage. I thought it was very romantic and lovely.

Recently I found a small bottle at a perfume sale. It's pleasant, but certainly nothing my adult self really wants to smell like. I can't pick out any individual notes, it is a mixture of soap and wildflowers. Very clean and innocent. This would never in a million years be accused of being sexy.

I smell like soap. A very finely milled French soap.

i love this soft feminine floral scent. (ty to melbritt for this lovely gift) sprays on a little strong but dries down to a lovely soft mixed bouquet. what lovely memories attatched to this scent. i've used it just about every night before going to bed since i received it, and alas it's just about gone. what pleasent dreams i've had.

I owned a bottle as a teenager(late 80s-early 90s) smelled amazing.im not great on description of notes but it was classic.girly.young.my sister scored a bottle on eBay.i use it for special summer/spring occasions or when I want to remember those times.still very classic,flowery,fem.smell.

This is my favorite!!!! I have a couple bottles that I use for special occasions or more in the winter time. It's very very hard to find. Such a soft and almost powdery smell. I had no idea it was launched in 1907

This was one of my favorites and I so wish that they still made this! I received so many compliments when I wore this fragrance, its clean, soft, soapy, and powdery - just lovely.

Guess I am going against the grain here but I love L'Effleur - or should I say loved. I wore this as a teenager then a few yrs back, found a bottle online but I suspect it had gone off as it was not how I remembered it to be - sweet, powdery, pretty and kind of innocently sexy. I miss this fragrance and would snap up a bottle again if I could find it! <3

Not sour flowers - bitter flowers, if that makes any sense at all.

Like Vanilla77, this turned bad on me. But not rotten grapefruit - strong, sour flowers. I think this was a problem with my body chemistry. I'm sure it's nice on others.

I got this fragrance as a birthday gift about 10 years ago, and never again have I found a perfume so flowery in smell that lasts so long.

When I picked up this fragrance in the 80's, I didn't realize what a gem I had in my possession. What a shame I didn't give it the value it merits-a Francois Coty creation.
I honestly thought it smelled, well, elderly: lace, ruffles, scarves covering shoulders, waved hair or ringlets, antique jewelry-cameos, etc. I dashed it on hurriedly and literally didn't smell the antique floral garden. Alas, my loss.
Meanwhile I treasure my other Coty creations, Emeraude, Le Chypre, Le Muse, and Truly Lace.

I bought this as a teenager-- because the bottle was pretty. Sadly, it just smelled of rotten grapefruit on me. Not good with my chemistry.

Was it really launched in 1907?? I wore it in high school, late 80s - early 90s. I thought it was new back then.

A Coty classic! My grandmother wore this for years. I remember as a child, spraying this on myself while visiting her. She passed away when I was 16 :( I want to buy a bottle of this to commemorate her.

NO KIDDING! it is all about the flowers. OMG I can't beleive i wore this as a teenager. AUUUUUGGGGGG!

it should be l'Effleur. right.
