Nature Millenaire Yves Rocher for women

This was a blind buy for me, the reviews made me very curious. The lovely bottle arrived yesterday, couldn't wait to spritz it on and sniff.
I do not know what is wrong, but the first 5 minutes I smelled a comfy warm scent, after 15 minutes it turned into something very sweet, 30 minutes later all I could detect was inscence, the kind that is used in church. Don't like it
Sad that it does not work on my skin.

I have a mini of this beauty thanks to member, twillocks...thank you!

The benzoin here is divine and gives this scent its warmth. Smells very much like vanilla to my nose and is reminiscent of Coty Vanilla Fields...more polish and minus the synthetic edge of Vanilla Fields.

I don't smell iris at all, and other notes are faint. Benzoin is most definitely the star of the show in Millenaire....not that I'm complaining! I love it on cold, cloudy days like today for it's comforting warmth.

I give it 4 STARS!

I bought a bottle of this, half full, at a thrift store for $1.00!!! Boy I didn't realize what a great treasure I was getting!! I got the most compliments, EVER, from wearing it! I only wear it to very special occasions! I have looked everywhere for it! So now, after looking on line, and finding this website, I am sadden to see, that it is not made any more!!! The best thing about it,was it stayed on you all day, and was not over bearing!! Please share other fragrances, that is close to this one, and maybe if enough comments are shared, it will be made again!!!

Nature Millénaire was the perfume I got my first proper compliment for.
A very good friend said "OMG! You smell delicious, come closer!"
I need to point out that this particular friend sees perfumes as a waste of money and therefore his words meant even more to me.
It was the chilly autumn of 2000 when I discovered Nature Millénaire.
At first I thought it was just OK, maybe even a little too mature for me, but after three days I knew I needed a backup bottle.
I just had to have another one.
Nature Millénaire comes with incredible lasting power and sillage.
The scent is rather linear on my skin, does not change much, becomes warmer and softer only.
There were days when I smelled hot chocolate oder dark chocolate, but usually Nature Millénaire smelled just like an irresistible blend of warm, sensual, earthy, spicy, aromatic and incensey accords.
It made me think of the desert and the relentless desert sun, red hot soil, glowing skin, a hot summer's night in Africa... and incense sticks.
A truly genius creation!

The best <3 I´m so happy that I found a bottle on e-bay. It´s been my favorite since the release. Too bad they don´t make it anymore.

This was my all time favorite fragrance!!! It was my signature. I saw a bottle of it on Ebay for over $1000.00!!! So sad. People are so desperate for this scent. It is wonderful! I wish there were more truly woody and earthen fragrances for women...instead of the ones that just dance around the subject. This was a masterpiece!!!!

I loved this fragrance! It's spellbinding and hard to place, very mysterious. Such a warm scent. I really miss this treasure...

For those who are keen on oriental perfumes, this is a success - Olivier Cresp has turned out very well again! Too bad Yves Rocher stops producing its own masterpieces...

woodsy, creamy, spicy, white flowers, dark soil, heated sun. reminds of india or hot, tropically scented desert

This is odd, on me it smells at first like a bland floral fruity with sweet vanilla(perhaps thats the benzoin?). I can smell a lot of orange. Later on it gets a bit more spicy/woody. Not much like the perfume notes and the wonderfull reviews here.

Dear fans of this perfume.

If you send a email to Yves Rocher that you want this perfume back in production. Then maybe if they get enough questions about it they might consider to produce it again.
So word a try isnt it................ I want it back

The best for my nose ! I am so curious to know why YR doesnt produce it anymore?

If this gorgeus perfume where still availlable this would be my signature scent. Al the notes from this scent I really like.
The tube of douchegel I still have I tread it like gold. I use it spearingly when I need some comforting.
The scent I can describe as warm, sweet and a bit spicy.
Vetyver and Labdanum are dominant on my skin,but when it starts to settle the woody notes comes in along with the ceder and musk. iris and benzoin are very soft but noticable.

All and all this scent whas and is my all time favorite

If you like this, maybe you can try Liberte. I find them smell a bit similar. Liberte is more orangy but has the same spicyness

smells HEAVENLY, very BALMY and NATURAL, EARTHY, SPICY AROMATIC, WARM and SENSUAL. and it lasts forever with a incredible nice sillage.
unfortunately very hard to find... i was the lucky winner of a 1/2 full sz bottle - for a quite reasonable price - they are mad for what prices they sell even used bottles. a pitty Yves Rocher doesn't bring it back. why such a gorgeous scent was discontinued? Nose Oliver Cresp! he's a genious... so many nice scents from him out there.

i love this parfume. does anyone knows if i can get this parfum from somewhere. hmmmmmmmm, nice smell

Nature millenaire was a great autumn scent.
I loved the chocolatey-woodsy smell and I really enjoyed wearing it.
Sad they discontinued it.
I would buy it again, if they relaunched it.

Not entirely the same, but certainly relevant similarities are found with Olivier Strelli by Olivier Strelli. Not easy to get, but fragranceexpress had some left I think.

BRING IT BACK YVES ROCHER! please :D

Does anyone have an idea of another scent that might smell like it?

I am reduced to buying Nature Millenaire on Ebay. This scent got me more compliments than any other I have worn. I was worried that the parfume would turn because it's been discontiued for so long. The few I have been able to get have been fine. Judging from how high the bids are going for this parfume, it is amazing that Yves Rocher does not bring it back.

This and Ispahan are my two favourite perfumes ever. Everytime I walked near someone, whilst wearing Nature Millenaire, they always wanted to know what is was, it was like casting a fragrant spell over them.

When I first discovered this company Nature Millinaire was already on the way out (Last Chance Shop on the website) and I only got a 5 ml. mini and two 200ml shower gels. I treated this juice like liquid gold and only wore it when I wanted a sweet earthy woody incense type of smell, it's a perfect autumnal scent. Alas the mini is now gone and the shower gels are all I have to remember this absolutelely superb fragrance...

This perfume is what some would call linear in that it does not change much due to the fact is made up primarily of notes usually found in the drydown. The iris is the only floral and it is dark and beautiful, the woodiness is exquisite with strong cedar and vetiver notes wrapped in heavy musk. The resiny incense-like notes are the best part for me. Benzoin and it's warm vanillic warmth ooze together with the labdanum resin(cistus)and create an exotic sweet fragrance that smells like it should be worn by a dark-skinned belly dancer as she moves sensually around and around...

Sillage: good
Longevity: above average
Overall: 4.75/5

This may been released as a woman's scent but each and every person who smelled it on me loved it and wanted to know where to get it! I have seen bottles for sale on the internet but since it was made in 2000 and discontinued in 2005 I am afraid they may have turned and to smell something this beautiful get ugly would be like a knife to my heart! YR is a mostly all natural company and five years is a long time...

Hopefully the current trend to go darker and woodier in scents may cause a re-issue of this truly unique classic, one can only hope. I have read reviews that compare this do working in the earth after a thunderstorm and though I do not agree with this olfactively the energy and feel of the scent are heavy and dark like the air after a storm, but this has more of a desert attar type of smell to it, although it gets quite earthy. I would have thought this had more spices in it but it was just the bezoin's warmth and the sweet iris and pungent vetiver making magick as they dance together...

This whas my favorite YR scent to. I whas sad when they discontinieud it. Such a gorgeous smell. Warm and sweet. Still hoping for a remake of this.

I loved this perfumes and wish they would remake it. It´s a creamy, soft, dark, mysterious gorgeous woody scent. It smells like African woody incense of some kind to me, very exotic, caressing and lovely. My biggest favorite from Yves Rocher. If you ever come across this, it´s a must try! (Could very well suit men also)
