Fresh, Sophisticated, and Youthful Fruity Floral
I like this – for someone else. My niece comes to mind. It is a very pretty, fruity floral, with the emphasis on the fruit. I do wish the fruit-to-floral ratio were the other way around as I am having a hard time distinguishing the floral notes. I faintly pick up the rose, lotv, and to a lesser degree, the ylang. The tuberose is completely missing on my skin. It does have a very fresh and clean feel to it, which I find a tad shampooey (sp?); youthful too, which is why I think this would work better for my niece than for me. Since she loves fragrances like Dylan Blue, Chanel Gardenia, Spring Flower, Burberry Blush, etc., which are in the same vein, this perfume would fit her tastes. I made a mental note to consider this as a future purchase for her after testing this sample.
By chance, (most likely ad tracking), I came across a barely used bottle of the edt. for a steal of a price and couldn't pass it up. This bottle does not have a paper label. The fragrance name is printed directly on the glass. The volume is 3.5 oz. and not the standard 3.3/3.4oz. Is this an older formula or a newer formula? I suspect the former, but I have no idea. If anyone knows, please fill me in.
Since it was already opened, I did try it and surprisingly found the performance quite good. That further makes me suspect that this is a prior formula than what is currently on the market today. I could be wrong about that as I have not smelled the most recent version, but with IFRA regulations being what they are in their never-ending quest to destroy every fragrance on the market, I suspect the latest formula might have been tinkered with. For those who own what is currently selling, I hope that is not the case.
Overall, this is a very pretty, sophisticated fragrance that's youthful, but not childish, and would work well both inside and outside a work environment, which is ideal for my young professional niece. I am sure she is going to love it.

A fragrance can hardly be more British than "Bouquet de la Reine"! One thing I'll say right away: studying the fragrance pyramid - which is unavoidable in a blind purchase like this one - led me completely astray. It sounded to me like I had almost adjusted myself to something mitsouko-like inside. But Bouquet de la Reine is very British, indeed! Cool, reserved, disciplined, elegant, slim.
It is a real art to tame tuberose and ylang-ylang in such a way that they appear almost translucent, as if their radiant brilliance were trapped in a glass house through whose windows, which have not been cleaned for a long time, greenishly subdued light falls. And so the bouquet appears a little bit victorian - like some other Floris fragrances I have tested.

The bouquet starts for my nose almost completely without flowers, but with a lot of green and a lot of fruit - decidedly red, tart berries. Fruity is not my favourite scent in perfumes, but here it evokes a picture from long gone summer days: standing in the middle of the big old bush, picking red currants. When the small, fully ripe fruits are rubbed off, one or the other bursts open and spreads its characteristic sweet-sour-sour aroma in the air heated by the sunshine. From time to time a currant leaf is grated and a fresh green tone is added harmoniously.

Only gradually do the spiky, fruity green tones fade away, become softer and now the flower bouquet, which is delicately embedded underneath, also comes to the fore. I can smell tuberose and ylang-ylang when I concentrate my nose on it - and indeed, a peach breeze hovers over it too. And yet, as I described at the beginning, it remains an English garden, in which lilies of the valley and bluestones also bloom, not too neatly, but, like the fantastic English gardens, an incredible mixture of tamed profusion, formal elements and seemingly unintentional disorder.

Just as slowly and consciously pleasurable as the change from the top note to the heart note, it moves very gradually into the base. The most delicate light wood, a hint of vanilla, rounds off the bouquet perfectly towards the end.

I am thrilled with this fragrance - and I am glad that I ordered plenty of samples with my order - because I am almost certain that there are some other beauties to discover.

PS: And once again a (meanwhile a bit more cautious, you know, I think why) thanks to Susan, whose statement made me spontaneously add this royal bouquet to the long planned purchase of the wonderful "Lavender" from the same fragrance house!
