Galbanum Green

First of all, I may be old, but probably not old enough to wear this charming retro floral potpourri scent. Yes, there's no other way to say it. The calla lilies among fragrances. Take me to a café, because today I feel like admiration is what this scent is screaming for. I perceive honeycomb, rose, and also tarragon most distinctly. This bitter note, which scents like civet and oakmoss exude, is probably the decisive point that prevents us from becoming friends. Nevertheless, I would like to thank a wonderful perfumer here who allowed me to test this noble drop.

"Perfume" in the best sense - perfect yet not banal

If this extrait was created as a tribute to the classic Quelques Fleurs, then Robert Bienaimé has done a great job.
The fragrance embodies the lush floral scents of times gone by without needing their opulence and grand presence. On the contrary. To me, the extrait feels modern, sleek, with a natural elegance that does not come across as forced, needing no glamour, and impresses through harmony.

In contrast to many modern floral fragrances, Quelques Fleurs L'Original does not exhaust its potential in the top notes, but takes a while before the floral carpet unfolds before us.
I also cannot, for the life of me, break down the pyramid, and given the impression the fragrance leaves on me, I have no desire to do so. Once again, I am reminded of a painting, where it is not important to me which color pigments the artist used.

If we generally assume that the heart note represents the character or theme of a perfume, and the base allows the scent to fade away, then Quelques Fleurs L'Original adds an interesting chapter, as the perfume now reveals its sensual side. No fear of oakmoss or civet! Just as skillfully and harmoniously as the flowers of the heart note are arranged, the base notes are chosen and dosed with subtlety. There is a slightly more serious thread running through the fragrance, which does not change its character, but shifts its mood from lively and radiant with an underlying smile to sensual and soft.

With this fragrance, I need neither to pay homage to the niche nor compromise with a "yes, but"; not a single note disturbs, as none stands out, nothing imposes itself on me, and I do not even have to mourn the past, as the perfume fits into today's time without any compromise. In times when oud, vanilla, and incense dominate the fragrance world, I find it refreshing to once again experience a classic scent that has transposed the theme of "perfume" into the present day, being both modern and yet nostalgic.

The "Certain Something"

"Now finally pull yourself together and write your first comment," I said to myself earlier. After all, it can't be that hard to describe a fragrance. Especially when you like what you smell. I thought.
But now I sit here, Quelques Fleurs enveloping me like a deliciously fragrant breeze, and I desperately try to detect at least one, any scent note from this delicate yet present floral abundance that I could describe or at least name for you.
Alright, I need to approach this differently.
When the bottle arrived this morning, it felt ice-cold. Nasty weather outside today. So I first placed it in the bathroom at its future spot, so it can feel at home with me. By early afternoon, my curiosity couldn't take it anymore, and I removed the small cap.
The first shock - no sprayer. Goodness, have I already broken the bottle? Oh nonsense, this is an Extrait; you don't spray it, you dab it discreetly. So I dab discreetly on my wrist and smell … nothing. I dab again. Hmm, something faintly floral. Okay, I guess only full-body application will help. With a flourish, I dab behind my ears, on my collarbone, between my breasts, and then on my inner elbows….
And Eureka, there it is! A floral scent, delicious, fresh, and despite the abundance of flowers, by no means heavy, but rather light and delicate. Also a little bit green with a hint of unobtrusive (floral) sweetness. I would like to become a little bee now and buzz from nectar to nectar. After a while, I believe I also perceive a slight powdery undertone. Perhaps the tuberose?
Gradually, the scent seems to detach from my skin. (Directly on my wrist, I can hardly perceive it after two hours.) Instead, the fragrance becomes a bit deeper without losing its floral richness and surrounds me like a second aura. It remains there until the end. Not at all intrusive, but definitely present.
Connecting the words "delicate," "light," and "ethereal" with the words "richness" and "abundance" may sound like a contradiction. But with Quelques Fleurs, the sweetness harmonizes with the freshness, the lightness and delicacy with the richness and abundance in an absolutely harmonious way. Harmony can quickly become boring, but I can't even say that about this fragrance. The hint of "depth," along with the little spritzes of "sweetness" and "green freshness," that keep appearing until the end, ensure that.
Hard to believe that this fragrance is supposed to be so old???! In my eyes, it is almost a modern scent, with which any woman, whether old or young, is always and everywhere appropriately dressed. Never overdressed, but always with that certain "something." Even though Quelques Fleurs doesn't exactly fit my usual preferences and certainly won't become my absolute favorite fragrance, I find it very beautiful and will definitely wear it from time to time.
