Urban and put together

Very smooth, very French, rose for people who don't like rose (fresh cut, very soft, not in your face), soft feminine leather (and I've been scared by Cabochard). The saffron raspberry opening is lipstick smooth. Such a wonderful surprise. I can't believe it's so good, and unbelievably cheap (17eu). I've been looking for something smart yet easy to wear, and never expected to find it here. All around fabulous.

A Sensual And Comforting Leather

This review is about Fruit de la Creativité, one of the three gems under the Les Signes de Grès series that I blindly bought, almost underrated and unknown. I read they designed these three perfumes to pay homage to the style and elegance of the Grès house. The packaging follows a line common to all peers in the collection, with a bottle with broad shoulders and a narrow bottom, a flat golden T-shaped cap, and a juice and label of different colors.

Initially, the fragrance features a body with a classic presence and something dark in the roses and musks with a muted patchouli-like air that follows a 1980s perfumery style. The opening reveals a nuance of alcoholic bitter almond, similar to that found in Amaretto Di Saronno. Bergamot is not sharp or acidic, and there is little citrus in the top notes. Soon after, it adds the cold spiciness of a caramelized saffron with an aroma that gradually softens its intensity. The initial stage is soft and docile leather.

There is a dark rose with spicy and toasted cedar wood between the heart notes. Fruit de la Créativité turns into a light powdery rose, the iris root adds a touch of dustiness, and a hint of coffee with amber wood stems softens the heart. The aroma becomes sweeter, the rose note clears, and an accord of fruity red berries opens at times, a chypre and toasted leather accord mix with the raspberry, not at all acid. The central stage is somewhat gourmand, pleasant, and never cloying.

Fruit de la Créativité centers the finish on a sweet musk and leather with roasted coffee beans, a very trendy accord, and gives originality to the perfume. There are backgrounds of oriental elements and skin, which sometimes resemble oud, and I could even imagine the patchouli inside, but maybe it’s just an effect resulting from the mix of the other notes.

Of the three, Fruit de La Créativité is the deepest of the line, Les Signes de Grès. Within the collection, this fragrance has a style similar to that of its pair Etat de Grâce following a warm line, slightly spiced with the presence of roses, however, Fruit de la Creativité has a more caramelized aroma thanks to touches of more resinous notes and musky. This perfume has moderate longevity and sillage, making it the ideal perfume to wear in the colder months of fall for extravagant nights. Finally, the fragrance has interpreted a particular leather with an oriental character powdered by a dusty floral top draped with white musks.

I base this review upon a 100ml (3.4 fl. oz.) bottle I own since March 2021.

Who likes "Orient Extravagant"?

...should definitely give this a sniff! The once thought-to-be-dead French fragrance house "Grés" is making a comeback here in the Middle East - and not just there - thanks to its fantastic "Les Signes" collection.
Here, French perfumery art meets the oriental. And it can smell very interesting and extravagant. When raspberry meets black saffron, it comes across as quite exotic. The fresh bergamot is the connecting link. And THAT was just the so-called top note.
Slowly, roses approach, accompanied by powdery iris on top, while a powdery fragrance spreads underneath. Lurking in the background: woods!
However, they take a bit of time to arrive, but when they do, they come in a trio! Cedar, amber, and birch are united here, the latter providing a fine "leather" scent that adds an elegant touch.
Finally, there's an aromatic Arabica coffee added in. It subtly, yet distinctly, weaves itself among all the notes, and THAT gives the final touch of extravagance.
The composition lasts a long time without being overwhelming or even intrusive. And it shifts with a good, pleasant projection within itself.
Here you get a great fragrance, even with a tighter budget!

Leather, raspberry, rose and sweet coffee... This is an easy, affordable gem blind-buy. Moderate performance, it is quickly used up.

Unusual combination. Initially fruity-floral typical, then a hint of vintage. A soft leather note rounds it off. Not really my style.

A mature floral-fruity scent, not too sweet. The leather adds a nice twist. I don't smell any coffee. Very refined.

in the current fragrance trend, the subtler version of saffron, fruit, leather, and wood on flowers
pleasantly balanced, friendly, not overwhelming

Elegant scent with very subtle leather, fruit, and a lot of imagination, also coffee. The leather hints at Cabochard, but much softer. Good!

The initial noise quickly settles down.
The individual notes come together in harmony and extravagance.
Smells much more expensive than it is.

Heavy fruits (peach?) caressed by powder puffs. A bit of wood and fine spice added. A lovely winter fruit scent.

Delicate fruity leather (like a light glove). Initially liqueur-like, then pleasantly fruity for a long time with a well-groomed creamy accompaniment. Feminine.
