Ming Shu Fleur Rare by Yves Rocher

Action

This is actually the only Yves Rocher that does not work for me.Same reason that L'eau Di'Issey does not work for me. I think it is the lotus that is spoiling it for me..

I love this one, especially dabbing it on the wrists. It lasts really long and does not stain clothes. It is one of my favorites by Yves rocher.

Ah! Ming Shu! My mother gave me a bottle of this years ago when she was an YR skin care product junkie and ended up with a sample bottle that didn't suit her. Apparently, I've had a bottle of this hanging around for years—when I rediscovered it a month or so ago, it seemed off and I tossed it.

Today I discovered an atomizer in my desk drawer filled with something—I bravely spritzed and recognized this scent. About 10 minutes after a quick trip to the hallway water fountain, a male colleague of mine wandered into my office to find out who smelled so wonderful. I guess even though the scent seemed off, it maintained something enchanting for a romantic, sensitive, rather dreamy 30-year old male. My girlfriend, who hates floral aquatics, commented quite favorably on it as well.

I really loved this fragrance when I first had it and wore it religiously—but then went through a no-perfume stage owing to a co-worker's allergies. Now that I "found" it again, I realize that its no longer available on the YR website, which now offers two other versions.

I liked the original notes—especially the apple and peach—which I found less fruity than many of the more recent scents out there today—and I remember the cedar as well.

I just received a sample of the Fluer de l'Aube version (which smells different, but also wonderful) and I will order the plain Ming Shu, which I assume is a reformulation of the 1997 version and see how they compare.

Sharp a bit cheap and too much jasmine, still I liked a small drop on my wrist when I was younger.

A flat floral-aquatic. Very similar to Jesus del Pozo's Halloween. A agree with Marianne, it's a tad cheap-smelling. It's not offensive but not interesting either. Duh...

floral-aquatic, floral-transparent, floral fresh;

crystal as a water drop, integrated with the gentleness of a smell of water flower ming shu, growing on a river Mosuo.
it's scent was reconstructed with the 'head space' method.
For young, active women, who want to accentuate their modernity and still girly charm.

Ming Shu Fleur Rare is very fresh, clean and floral i really liked this fragrance. It brings calmness to body and soul, i would prefer wearing this in spring and summer.

Ming Shu is a lovely fragrance - floral aquatic is how YR describes it. It is a clear and clean fragrance, with flower petals floating down a crystal clear stream. I find the scent lasts fairly well on me, but I have a couple minis on hand to take with me when I wear it, just in case I need a touch-up!

Ming Shu Fleur Rare used to be available in both EdT and EdP (I know because I have some of the EdP stashed away), but I think they are only selling the EdT right now because of the Fleur de la Aube version.

I disagree it doesn't smell cheap!!! I find this smell very refreshing and clean. As almost all Yves Rocher floral fragrances it goes away within an hour. I suppose when speaking of staying power tommy_girl referred to Ming Shu Fleur d'Aube because it's EDP and a bit stronger than Fleur Rare which is EDT.

at least it's the best perfume by yves rocher.but it's not soft and it doesn't remove at least for 9 hours!so that will make you nervous.but acceptable for cold weather.
