Beautiful creamy vintage vibes, but...
This conjures images of a sun-drenched vintage boudoir with a bouquet of pale pink and peach colored roses on the dresser in my mind. The frosted bottle would fit right in, so the packaging design is on point. Ultra feminine, pretty and optimistic.
Quelques Fleurs Royale showcases classic blend of rose, violet and jasmine that is blended with white musk in a very creamy way, like a thick white body cream. Not exactly Nivea, but something in that vein. Only after the scent has dried down, it turns into something more powdery. Hints of vanilla and honey-like beeswax sweeten the flowers. I love all of this, but the fragrance has a fault I can't live with: The beeswax is just too natural. I'm one of those unlucky people who sometimes get a dirty, urinuous note from honey and beeswax in perfume, and unfortunately I get a hint if that from time to time here, too. It's not much, I'm still perfectly able to enjoy the rest of the scent, the florals, the sweetness, the transition from creamy to powdery, even the very light sugared grapefruit note of the opening. But I'd feel self-conscious all day if I had to wear his out.
What a pity.
I think I enjoy the idea of Quelques Fleurs Royale more than the actual scent. It's a nice and interesting fragrance, but not exactly made for me. I wish it was. I'll keep my eyes open for something similar and recommend this to floral lovers who never had a problem with honeyed notes.
