Goodbye aldehydes, hello magnolia!
As an avid lover of Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum, I kind of had mixed feelings about this EDT release because I wasn’t sure how they were going to take such a unique floral-musk and not only tone it down, but give it its own novelty.
I tested the EDT out in the store recently and from first spray, I was met with that beautiful and familiar, iris-musk-ambrette of the original. It was when I left the store with the blotter card that made me go, “oh wow, they are different!” After about 5-10 minutes of settling, Fleur de Peau Eau de Toilette blossoms with a prominent magnolia flower that I don’t believe exists at all in the original. You also get a burst of citrus that again, is not found in the original. I often associate the EDP with coldness and melancholy, but I get quite the opposite from the EDT. It’s brighter, more floral dominant, and feels more joyous. It also feels more “fresh” as it’s missing the earthiness that the original has.
I didn’t think my love for Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum could grow even deeper, but that’s exactly what Fleur de Peau Eau de Toilette has done. Is it necessary to have both in your collection? Probably not. But if you couldn’t get with the carrot and aldehydes in the original, it’s worth it to give the EDT a shot. I’m still deciding on whether or not I need to add it to my collection, but I’m glad I tried it and I’m happy that I like it. Would be interested to see if they release a similar flanker for Orphéon Eau de Parfum next!
