Fleur de Liane L Artisan Parfumeur for women and men

I do believe that Fleur de Liane is a little bit underestimated whereas some other fragrances - in the same collection - are quite over considered, probably too much also..... and I can't change my mind even though I'm aware that they are the best-sellers in the family! Let's start looking a little bit close to this lovely (for me) fragrance; first of all, let's consider its lightness that can avoid banality or 'chill penury'... 'Greeen' is the very first impression which comes to your mind and on this note/colour all the construction is built up while adjoining some variations to enrich it. Some reviewers say about 'tropics' and 'water sensation' and I do agree with them BUT.... I would also add that - now the game becomes interesting- the floral components come to contributes wjth a gentle touch and to make it 'sweeter' although no SUGAR is here added. F. de L. it's not (LOL and super LOL a gourmand frag!)This is a peculiar frag (it really cannot remind me any other ones) which stands quite close to you BUT on the same time it doesn't go unnoticed. Difficult also say when to use it!, I've used it even in winter... in spring and of course in the summer. Strange but true, it was even 'right' during different seasons. It's a fragrant that can be loved and used even by those people (I'm one of the pack!) who adore COMPLICATED frags, SO let's give a rest to our nose, sometimes!

p.s. Although it can be absurd talking of 'sillage' in this case, do not forget its good tenacity, anyway ; )

I would say that most of all this fragrance smells grassy. And a little bit floral, but only as a background. This fragrance is light enough. Green elegant lightness. Usually, I don't like grassy fragrances, but I like this one because it's smell a little bit unusual:)

It's nice!

This is a subtle aquatic with nuances of green. It smells like fresh ,new growth with a ocean breeze. The floral notes are faint but definitely noticeable. I would consider this more feminine then unisex. The longevity & projection are poor otherwise this would be a ideal Summer perfume.

This isn't really the most exciting perfume to me. Aquatics always smell like melon on my skin, and Fleur de Liane is no exception. Luckily I like melon.

It goes on the skin as a fresh and somewhat tangy aqua/green/melon, quickly followed by a whisper of soft florals. It's not easy to pick out individual floral notes, but I think magnolia comes out on my skin the most. Considering it contains tuberose, Fleur de Liane a quiet skin scent, not overpowering in the least. Oakmoss finally appears after an hour or so, and it's extremely light, almost transparent.

I don't think it's as unique as I expected it to be. It smells like many aquatic perfumes, but perhaps of higher quality. Unless you are a perfume enthusiast like some of us are, I don't think anyone will be able to distinguish between this and an Acqua di Gio type of perfume. I am disappointed by the translucent oakmoss. Oakmoss is the reason I purchased blindly, I'm a sucker for it.

I do get *a bit* of a jungle vibe from this. It's green and fresh, especially in the first several minutes. But for the Garden of Eden effect, my favorite is Fig Tree by Sonoma Scent Studio. Fleur de Liane is more beachy to me than rainforest or jungle. For many people who are into aquatics, it would be lovely for daily use. I myself would probably only use this on a scorching hot day during the summer.

L'eau par Kenzo for women,just lasts longer,but practically the same,more on the feminine side altough it says it's unisex

Jungle bliss.

Fleur de Liane touched my heart.I love green perfumes and I'm in love with tuberose and in this perfume these elements combined together brilliantly.I love Nature and this composition just a pure reflection of the Mother Nature's beautiful face.:)

The island-where this perfume takes my soul- is a beautiful one.A dream island where the ocean waves gently wash the white sandy shore, where the vegetation lush and wild,where the air is humid and salty....where the jungle just pours out from within the most luscious smells-smell of flowers and fruits, mosses and woods.Scent of the sky,earth and the ocean-poured in every raindrop- smell of the resins on the trees and scent of mosses under your feet.All these scent swirling in the humid air.
All these notes forming a juicy and opulence yet transparent and sophisticated fragrance. Ozonic,green,watery,mossy and woody elements making a perfect combination with the creamy tuberose and tropical flowers.
The concept of tropical fragrance today was redefined to me. Fleur de Liane is a true sensation of a fresh tropical rain. This perfume is an amazingly composed green-mossy tuberose scent. A drop of jungle,touch of the untouched wild.

Worshiping of Mother Earth.

This "green of green fragrances" is beautiful and bright - the tuberose is very green and the marigold is very realistic, slightly sharp and bitter, on the nice "wet" woody base. Every time I smell Fleur de Liane, I'm carried away to the wild jungles with a lush greenery, dark rivers, bright and loud birds, huge Liane and giant carnivorous flowers... Sounds a bit scary, but this fairytale has a happy ending - my first bottle will arrive soon! :)

I used to hate this one when I sample it. However, now I'm in love & own a bottle. This one opens with a green and sappy smell like you cut open peduncle peduncle and smell it. And then some peppery vibe kicks in which gives it a standard aquatic vibe which can make people throw their hands up and say "just another generic mess". I did. However, the fragrance takes a twist when the floral note shows up. I cannot define which particular flower it is but it is really green with a slight flowery sweetness to it. Very natural.
This fragrance does change depend on the weather. If it is very hot then the flower never shows up. It needs some breeze to bloom. Therefore, I think this one is not a hot weather fragrance as it seems.

I find, it's a beautiful tuberose, waterflower (not knowing which flower exactly), and something like pitahaya, green, dripping of humidity in the air. it's also quite cold and leafy although a creamy effect warms it up (maybe the woods in base). whenever I spray it, it creates the picture of lush, damp jungle trees with lots of thick brushwood and small seldom symbiotic (or even parasitic, but beautiful) flowers.

This is Beautiful!! A modern green,flowery aquatic. It makes me feel like I'm strolling down a path through a meadow in Maine on a cool, "dewy", spring day. Surrounded by cottages and sunshine and Lighthouses.

Very, very green. Probably the greenest fragrance I've ever smelled; like the smell when you cut the stem of a flower, and you also feel the scent of the water that the flower has been standing in. The watermelon rind comparison is very accurate too! Not the kind of fragrance I'm usually in the mood for, but I wouldn't say no to having a small amount of it, for the days when I feel like a really fresh perfume, but more original than, say, Light Blue.

actually, the first smell that hits me when i first dabbed it on my wrist is the smell of orange jasmine. a very clear, strong smell of this flower. it reminds me of my summer childhood of walking by a tree with this flower home each night. the smell is most vivid at night. so it's quite a familiar scent and i really like it. very fresh and light.

This is a very luscious, juicy green fragrance. Like a freshly cut flower stem ... as its juice dripping -- a burst of bright crisp aquatic freshness is released into the air. This scent is very clean, clear, honest and pure, nothing synthetic or powdery about it.
It's definitely introverted and a has a slightly mysterious air to it, as individual notes are not instantly distinguishable. I like it!

I absolutely love this one. I can't wait to buy it again. A very fresh, mysterious and elegant scent, the aquatic notes blend so well with the green accords. Good lasting power too. Very feminine in my opinion.

L'Artisan Parfumeur FLEUR DE LIANE opens with a vaguely watermelonesque scent which gives the whole composition a very tropical vibe. There is definitely a sort of watery greenness to this scent, something like that of watermelon rind. Yet, in spite of the light watermelon scent, FLEUR DE LIANE is not very sweet--definitely not a fruity floral or vanilla oriental scent. I would call this an aquatic floral green.

The flowers smell almost tiara-like, yet somehow distinct. The dominant floral note appears to be marigold. FLEUR DE LIANE is a pleasing and unique composition, which strikes me as a slightly savory second cousin to monoi, if that makes any sense! I recommend this fragrance to those looking for a tropical feeling but without the cloying vanilla and coconut so often present in tropics-inspired perfumes. Although aquatic notes often smell synthetic and even emetic to me, here they do not, and if I had a bottle of this fragrance, I'm sure that I'd wear it!

I Like this! Very green floral like I did not expected...
I am thinking about amazonian where I am Tarzan in the jungle!
This one is more feminine in my opinion...


7/10

The tropical association usually makes me stay away from scents, so I didn't expect to like this at all, but in fact I do. This isn't tropical in a corny postcard kind of way, forget sandy beaches, coconut drinks and sunblock, it rather evokes the atmosphere of a hidden, faraway location still untouched by man, lush and green.
Along with the aquatics and greenery (both well-done) I do get the florals, like a fine, sparkling veil floating on water, their scent intensified by the heat. There's a very sultry, stuffy, almost moist feel to this scent, it's naturally and unabashedly sensual, like a sweaty T-shirt that sticks to the curves of the body in hot, humid weather. It's so suggestive that I sometimes wonder if it's approtiate to wear this in public.
Scarlett Johansson, if you're reading this, this would suit you perfectly!:)

A shrill aquatic scent that careens out of the bottle and lands with a noisy thump on the skin, softening only a bit on the drydown. No matter how many times I test this scent I detect none of the florals, and only a touch of the wood. Perhaps this works best, in small doses, as a masculine.
