Fleur Floris for women

I generally don’t like florals, and I don’t like a lot of aquatic notes, so why should I be surprised if something called “fleur” is not my thing? It’s not only strongly floral, reeking of lily-of-the-valley, my least favorite floral note, but it’s also laden with prominent aquatic notes.

In the beginning, it’s harshly generic-floral and aquatic, in the worst sort of way. Smelling this stuff was downright depressing, so knowing no good would come of spending the day with it, I scrubbed. The aquatic notes stubbornly stuck to my skin, suggesting that they would still be there through the entire drydown.

Fleur is a perfume that I’d actually go out of my way to avoid. Having said that, however, if you like very synthetic-smelling florals and aquatics, you might like Fleur.

An average sort of floral fragrance. I don't hardly get any citrus at the opening which is disapointing. As it wears, the jasmine is more prominent. I don't think it's very unique so can't really give it much of a recommendation. It's certainly a safe choice.

This is the first scent I used regulary. It's a wonderful, subtle EDT that just reminds me of a meadow covered with flowers in spring. I'd recommend it for daily use at office or school, because it's not overpowering at all, you won't offense anybody with wearing it.

The only con is that it doesn't last very long and after about three years of wearing it, I got so used to it that I have trouble smelling it at all.

I cleaned out a closet the other day and found a large sample vial of Floris Fleur that I thought I had used up long ago. Hooray for surprises!

Fleur is a competent fruity floral, more flowers than fruits. It's not especially sweet, and the citrus fruits dominate the opening. It dries down to a pretty white floral musk.

Not especially interesting. Certainly not original. But overall, it's nicely done and smells pleasant. It would be a good fruity floral for a mature woman who wants a bit of sweetness but doesn't want to smell like a teen.

Persistance and sillage are average for a fruity floral. It's noticeable, but quiet.

I finally got a sample of the perfume after reading wonderful reviews on other sites. This is classified as floral fruity, and the floral is balanced just right with just a hint of fruity. Of course there are other perfumes similar to this, but the ingredients in the bottle seemed of very high quality and its aroma lasted all day. This was well worth the wait and it is a little hard to find, but I did and can't wait for my 'big' bottle of pure delight.
