Yria Yves Rocher for women

This is a lovely fruity-oriental that goes great with cooler weather. Top notes of plum,bergamot and other citruses gives way to heady florals-definately rose,and just a touch of jasmine ( but not enough to drive away this jasmine hater). The drydown reveals a base of spices and exotic woods. Lovely, lovely stuff; and even better when layered over YRIA ELIXER, a more intense version with heavier plum, rose and incense notes. Because of its opulant, intense nature I wouldnt recommend it for a younger woman (but in saying that I DONT mean youll end up smelling like grandma when you wear it). Do you know that one piece of clothing that never fails to make you feel sexy, confident and glamourous? For me its Yria perfume.

Though I did not have a good experience with mini perfume, when winter comes I crave for Yria again :) I miss this rich warm flowery juice...I agree this is a woman scent, not girly but there is sth warm and unique about the scent that make me feel safe and secure,like a hug :)

I had two bottles of Yria a few years ago. The smell was classy and oriental. I was about 25/6 when I was wearing it and I felt like a mature woman in Yria - mature in the sense of being stylish, classy, confident, warm and a woman, not a girl.

Not bad. The perfume's a bit strong and "mature" smelling for me but I did like the body lotion version which seemed to have a little lighter scent to me.

I myself would say this not to be Yves Rocher Venice, but Yves Rocher Yria. They are really similar. Both not my favorites actually!

Thanks to Gypsy I now know my miniature is EDP and no wonder so little goes a long way. I finally tried this again and I've upgraded from like to love. I know it reminds me of something but I can't place it just yet. I'll update when it comes to me.

Gorgeous floral oriental.
Update:Venice by Yves Rocher! Okay, they're different compositions but they share some "structure". Perhaps Laurent Bruyere is the mystery nose behind Venice! Just my pondering.

I used to wear this classic perfume until some years ago, but I reckon it was because a friend of mine told me how good it seemed to him (though his tastes were quite different from mine, he used to be a fan of Dior's Hypnotic Poison, which I couldn't stand). I am still loving this fragrance, but I wear it less frequently now. It is not only too intense at the beginning, but also kind of affected for me - everytime I wear it, it is as if I would fancy for myself a different identity (I guess the strong oriental scents with vanilla notes really don't suit me). However, I think in itself it is a very harmonious and elegant fragrance. If I were to say about a fragrance that I know well that it is "beautiful in itself", I would say it about this one.
Besides, it is really affordable.

Up-date: And I think it is one on the best in the YR line of perfumery, very similar in class to Nature Millenaire. Unfortunately things did not move up with So Elixir, the current fashionable frag from YR, since Yria is at least seven times more elegant and stylish.

Bought the glittery shower gel and body lotion years ago when I first discovered Yves Rocher company but I did not like the fragrance. Too powerful for my tastes. I favored Ming Shu back then. I do like the scent of Yria but not on me. I gifted my grandmother the remaining body lotion and she loved it so I bought her a bottle for her birthday! She loves it!

Update: I decided to give this fragrance another go and so I ordered a mini from the YR website. I definitely appreciate it more than I used to. It is very powerful in the opening and so I apply with a light touch.

Beautyfull scent, verry long lasting and classy.

I also think this is more an oriental fragrance. A fruity oriental, perhaps, although it has a chypre spirit.
Well, they are not the same at all, but Yria reminds me a little of its wealthier sister Alien. Their father, Laurent Bruyere, created them to be rather similar. Both have a very remarkable oriental touch and are enticingly mysterious compositons of woodsy notes, amber and jasmine. But of course a regular Yves Rocher fragrance, with its terribly poor staying power, can't compete with such a beautiful and unique work of art as Bruyere and Ropion's Alien. Still, Yria is sensual and elegantly subtle in its own lovely way.

It's an elegant scent that comes along like a classic. For me it's not my type. It's smelling too old-fashioned for me.

This is one of those perfumes that smelled horrible to me, but I had bought the bottle and decided to wear it anyway. I had people complimenting me all day long, from my kids to the grocery store clerk. It must have worked with my body chemistry. So there in lies one of a frangitician's dilemma's...do I wear it because it smells great on me to every one elses nose, even though I don't care for it, or toss the bottle?! Ahhh....one of my great life decisions...! :)

Seems like an oriental floral to me too !
Quite fresh at first the citrus notes are obvious , BUT applied on the skin it quickly becomes a basic amber-ish , Vanilla , rose scent . Very ordinary . Maybe it scents differently if sprayed on the clothes rather than on the skin ( I tried it with a sample wipe ) It also seems strangely familiar to me , probably because it is very ordinary .

My mother had it and it seemed good when she was wearing it. So I purchased it. Complete mistake : it suits to mature women, elegant, who aren't searching for a sweet perfume but for a soft one. Not for me, not for my skin.

I now have the vintage bodylotion, and in combination with the lotion the fragrance becomes more interesting to me.
It is quite special if you give it a chance!

There are three versions of this fragrance (eau de perfum is the only one still available in the US)...

Elixir de Parfum-the strongest one:
TOP: bergamot, corriander
HEART: magnolia
rose, jasmine
gardenia
BASE: amber, tonka bean, sandal,
patchouli, vanilla

Eau de Parfum-next strongest:
TOP: bergamot, corriander
HEART: jasmine sambac, rose, muguet
BASE: sandalwood, musk, vanilla

Eau de Toilette-the lightest:
TOP: green mandarin
HEART: jasmine and rose
BASE: sandalwood, white musk

Elixir was available in a 30 ml spray bottle, opaque red in color and similar in shape to the EDP above...(my fave!)

EDP is available in a mini (7.5 ml) coffret, 30 ml spray, 50 ml spray and 100 ml spray. Clear flacon, red cap and gold juice...(pictured above)

EDT was available only in a 75 ml spray and had a bottle like the EDP and almost clear juice...(Yria "summer")

I will (eventually) post reviews for all three! :-)

NB: Yves Rocher descibes this as a floral oriental (floriental)

مرحبا انا من السعودية وبكل صراحة العطر رائع جداا والاسعار مناسبة شكراا لكم

This perfume is not fruity at all. I like the smell, but there is a big drawback with it that makes me disappointed they have used a lot of alcohol in it, it gives me asthma when I apply it. the smell is nice but not the quality.

Yes Pretty, it is indeed an oriental floral with elements of vanilla. Floral Fruity is not the suggestion it gives.

I`ve had this perfume for years. I didn`t like it and just forget it even exist. Today I was going through my drawers and found it. I almost through it away but decided to try it first. And it`s really nice! At first a bit sharp, but then it becomes soft, warm, creamy floral vanilla, with a hint of spice. Definitely oriental floral/vanilla!

This perfume is made by such a great nose, but unfortunately it does not belong to my Yves Rocher favorites. I do like it though.
:-)

not a huge fan but it is elagant but for someone around their 30's lol I have it but never have wore it.

Nauticaa you are absolutely right- there is something "aged" in this smell, it appealed to me, but I could never wear it myself, so I got it for my Gran, and I used to get an odd sniff without being exposed to it too much.

I agree with everything that Malegria said about this perfume. It is amazing that we experience it in such a similar way! yes, I also think that this is a floral oriental, perhaps more floral than oriental, but definitely not floral fruity. It is a solid fragrance, well made, lasting, but without much personality. Unlike many other fragrances, I cannot describe what does it offer me. However, when it rains (and where I live it rains A LOT!) I crave it. Its sweetness turns into warmth in the rain, like a cup of tea with honey and a warm blanket muffling the sound of rain on the windows. I wanted to give it away because of this lack of originality, but don't think I could. Unless I move somewhere where it never rains...

The gray amber in it`s glory, Yria is a great quality floral oriental. I just can`t see it as a floral fruity, there must be a mistake! Though it does not strike as being original - you probably can mistake it for smth else of that nature - it is a very well made scent for a woman who wants to feel both feminine and bold.It wraps around you like a shimmery warm veil or a shawl made out of the softest wool.The lasting power is really good.
For amber lovers, definitely.I don`t feel any patchouli in it, unfortunately.

@ Peedho: I live in Netherland en it's for sale there, so I guess it's still for sale in some other European countries too... my mother has a bottle of it.

i loved it and i am looking for it.my friends liked it

the male version is called eryo it has got purple colour, and eryo blue/// its not presented in the list

There is a male version of this perfume but I could not finde it in the list for Yves Rocher. Its called Eryo.
Its has a rather strong and spicy/herby start. But after a while when it has dried down it gets more soft and flowery without loosing its masculinity.
I have also noticed that it changes when I go out in open air it is then it smells the best.

I use this perfume at all times.

I received a small sample bottle of this thanks to TRIPLEX! I had never heard of this before, so I sniffed it in the bottle. In the bottle, it only smelled "so-so"....but when I put it on me, I thought it was quite lovely! I can smell the fruity aroma initially...but it's not citrusy like a tart lemon. It was a bit sweet...but not syrupy (IMHO). But after a while, it turned into a lovely bouquet of flowers on me. How perfectly lovely! I honestly don't think it's old fashioned at all. It was quite charming on my skin. The sweetness and fruit notes remained in the background so as not to make it too fuity or too sweet....but balancing the florals notes very well. I enjoyed this fragrance. Thank you TRIPLEX! =)

Smells good , but not my type ...too strong and sweet

i liked this perfume until i bought it and started wearing it... no way i'll use it again. i've already gave it away. too heavy... you can't wear this on a regular basis... unless you are 60.

for me this perfume is more like oriental very oriental and i personally don't like it at all.
it is heavy sweet and for me it is not ok.

To me Yria is fruity-oriental.
It's a very feminine, a bit sweet, sensual and mature fragrance.
I think, for a woman who has sexappeal, but loves advanced and classy elegance, a warm and optimistic woman.
It smells better in the evening, but independent and mature women can wear it also during the day.

I love Yria. It is a little bit old fashioned and predictable, but nevertheless, classy. It gives me confidence. Something for more mature women, don't condsider it if you're a teen.

I got a bottle of this - oh, it smelled SO nice ... until I put it on. Yuck - it just REEKED on me. I had to sell it, because I'd keep forgetting and using it. Definitely try it before you buy it!

Its very Classic, long lasting, but NOT unique at all, it`s just so heavy sweet, it has no unique note... boring...

Not good. Smells like a typical old fashion french perfume.

THIS PERFUME DRIVES ME CRAZY, ILL FOLLOW A WOMAN AROUND JUST TO SMELL
IT.. I HAVE NO DEFENCES AGAINST IT LOL
THX

SO WEAR IT
