Bergamot, black currant, peach and green leaves of violet precede an exotic, floral heart composed of tuberose, jasmine, ylang ylang and lily of the valley. A base incorporates moss, vanilla and sandalwood.

Lightly fruity, this delicate watery floral scent is a refined feature in the floral fruity category, which I expected from Floris.
The florals are beautifully well blended, slightly soapy once the fruity opening fades down. The violet leaf is lovely too, with it's soft greenness. This is refreshing and clean and would be great for an office setting. It's subtle but long lasting. Would be wonderful in sunny weather, but not for chilly months I don't think, where it may feel a bit flat. Very pretty.
This is totally fruity floral like others already have said. After I made the first sniff from my arm I was hooked. It's extremely fresh, mouthwatering and sparkly (yes, I used word "sparkly"). It resembles some lovely fruit cider or champagne for children. I don't get much of tuberose or other flowers (except violet, maybe), but I get loads of lovely fruity orgy, which is very exciting for me. It's extremely feminine, extremely girly, but somehow grown up and should be tried by those who wish to have at least one floral fruity in their collection, but don't like all those generic floral fruitys that market has to offer. This is classy and smells expensive, but still is girly.
I agree with sky76sky's review and would like to reiterate how surprisingly long (several hours) this gentle fragrance lasts. Also, I dabbed on a sample, but would love to try a spray to see if it improves the sillage. Although I could definitely detect the scent during breezes on this sunny summer morning, I doubt anyone else could, which is a shame since it is such a high quality, pretty, soft floral that I doubt it would offend anyone's nose.
This is the ultimate grown-up fruity-floral.
All the fruits are blended so well that they play hide & seek with your nose throughout the perfume's wear. There is the softest of realistic (unheightened) peaches, sweet & gentle. The rich, sharp & juicy tang of inky-blackcurrents. A hint of bergamot & some wonderfully bitter violet leaves. This creates a softly zesty, depthy fruity entry, but oh-so-gentle.
Now add to this a glass of sparkling cool spring water & a bunch of the most beautiful white florals - some clear & clean (lily of the valley) some thick & warm (jasmine) some high & heady (just a little tuberose). These translucent florals are the stars of the show.
To my nose the now subdued fruits are also enhanced by a hint of freshly muddled lime (not sharp, just a bit of sourness & zest) & calmed with a sheer, creamy smoothness from the sandalwood & vanilla. The Oakmoss grounds the fragrance & stops it from becoming too "twee".
It is beautifully crafted, sweet & flirty yet very refined. The sillage is small but the longevity is pretty decent for so fragile a fragrance.
If you are a "frooty" girl looking for a fragrance with a bit more substance & refinement, or a classic lady looking for a "sweet nothing" to make you smile this summer then I would give Bouquet a whirl!
