Soft flowers

This was a great surprise again. When I read the smell pyramid, I thought that these are obviously too many flowers for me.
Missing far. Yes, I was greeted of a sea of flowers which, however, wonderfully softly spreads on my skin. Head and heart notes change quite quietly into each other.
Surrounded by the woody notes I don't feel any sweet or heaviness at all.
This skin flatterer could accompany me the whole day.

Non-Vintage Non-Fairytale

I hunted down a vintage bottle and there is no comparison whatsoever to this 1993 Fleur de Rocaille (no s) version, which misses the former’s bergamot, carnation, musk, and rosewood. Unfortunate, because without them the wicked stepsisters, narcissus and lily-of-the-valley enter and stomp all over Cinderella’s pretty gown. To me, this version doesn't live up to the rest of Caron.

A Complex Syrupy Floral Fragrance

Fleur de Rocaille is a really thick, honeyed floral scent, which can sometimes be a little too overpowering for my tastes.

Whenever I smell this fragrance, I feel like I'm getting whacked in the face with a large bouquet of colourful flowers, and stung by a few bees in the process. Not many people are mentioning the dominant carnation note in this formulation. I'm smelling carnations by the bucket-load.

If I were to catch a subtle waft of this fragrance on a passer-by, I think I might enjoy it. However when you wear this fragrance on your own skin, it can be rather headache inducing. Intense and aggressive are two words that I would definitely use to describe Fleur de Rocaille.

There's lots of rose, jasmine, carnation, ylang ylang, lilac and mimose in this fragrance. Just when you think that Fleur de Rocaille can't get any heavier, an amber note comes along and amps up the sillage, adding a syrupy texture.

Apparently the original Fleur(s) de Rocaille wears closer to the skin, so perhaps I should try and track down the older formulation. Who knows why Caron released this confusing Fleur de Rocaille perfume, especially seeing that it shares little, to no relation to the original.

I still have a lot of respect for the house of Caron, even though this fragrance has been a disappointment for me. At the very least, I can say that the longevity and sillage are way out of this world. You'll be smelling Fleur de Rocaille for days.

The updated FdR

The fruity sweet mimosa and formulation is showing some age. A product of the 90s..out of step with modern sensibilities. I wish Caron focused more intently on preserving Daltroffs Classics carefully much like Guerlain has tried. This is a different scent than the original its based on.
If u like scents like Volupte or Champs Elysees this will work for you.

Flower fairy scent in the magic forest

I close my eyes and breathe deeply the scent of Fleur de Rocaille...

I find myself in a clearing surrounded by a forest. I don't know where I am, but that doesn't seem so important at the moment.
I sit there listening to the birds chirping and the forest rustling in the wind. It is warm, there is a light breeze. In the distance, the babbling of the brook can be heard, whispering to itself at the edge of the forest....
Suddenly, I hear a slight movement... up ahead where the stream can be heard. I stand up and walk slowly and carefully towards the rippling water.
As if rooted to the spot, I stop.... in the sea of flowers I see, from flower to flower, many little fairies flying. Beautiful magical creatures that collect every tiny drop of dew. With each beat of the fairies' flight, I sink deeper and deeper into the soft cloud of fragrance....
I close my eyes, take a deep breath...

The scent of Fleur de Rocaille is a delicate floral aroma, not overbearing but still distinct.
