Sweet and powdery coffee and tuberose

I really enjoy this scent. Although there are a lot of ingredients in this scent it's mostly about the coffee, tuberose and vanilla. It's very well blended, sweet and powdery and hovers between an oriental and a gourmand.

The first blast is a somewhat strange green coffee scent (the greenness might be because of the rhubarb) which softens down to a very wearable sweet white flower, tuberose and coffee scent within half an hour. During the drydown the vanilla appears.

Like the reviewer below I agree that this not for everyone, although I don't agree with the rest of this review (especially the part about the insects and the forest). Make sure to give it at least 2 or 3 full wearings before you make up your mind. You might even love it, just like I do. This perfume is best for somewhat colder weather. Although right now I'm enjoying this while it's 25 ºC outside.

90s Vibe

Columbian coffee enveloped in pretty white florals. Fusion Sacrée Clair emits a beautiful green veil that captures the senses from the beginning. Heliotrope and vanilla gives a delicate touch of warmth and a sweetness similar to marzipan. As the fragrance progresses, it gives me a vintage 90s vibe down to the frosted bottle. Feminine, powdery and lavish. I personally would enjoy this on a woman.

Special insects

I have tested a lot of parfumes so far, and I still can not find exactly the same universe of scents possessed by FUSION SACRÉE ELLE in another parfume.
The beautiful bottle fitting in my palm as heavy molten silk, the rough woodden stopper represent the thought of creators about the scent locked up in the glass.

If I could decide about this issue, I also would like to lock up this fragrance.

I am amazed, and I can not believe, what is going on my wrist. This aroma is totally natural, literally uprooted from a wild, endless forest, where animals and plants are fencing life-or-death battles. Actually plants (fougére) and animals (insect) are also amongst the losers, and they were put in the bottle with trampled leaves and crushed little bodies. FUSION SACRÉE ELLE is almost a near-death experience for my nose and I could not bear it on my skin as perfume, but I would take it granted in a rainforest. I simply opine that this is an unbelievable and extremely individual fragrance - not for human use.

doesn’t work for me

This opens with a heavy hand of coriander and a very green rhubarb. Don’t get much of the other top notes sadly, but this quickly goes into white floral territory in a more enjoyable blend. The florals are sweet and creamy with a slightly spiced bread note. The fig in this is fairly green as well. This is suprisingly really fresh and green but the florals are very creamy and sweet. This is also weirdly very vegetal. To me what I get most is white florals with some creaminess, hints of spice and warmth, and vegetal greenness. The dry down maintains the grennness with an added vanilla and some musky resinous accords. Not particularly my favorite scent profile, as I feel some of these notes feel like they shouldn’t be together.

An orange light sweeping into a cafe

This is weirdly savory on one of my wrists, while the other wrist maintains some of that bright citrus and a hint of rhubarb. The other wrist is all spices and I would like to think some coffee. I can't help but imagine a late breakfast at a cafe, and the person a table or two away from you is wearing this scent and the sun is hitting them just right and you just can't help it, you need to take another breath just to smell this. There's something ambiguous about it, it's green, it's spicy, there's a hint of 80s florals, and it smells like a savory dish. It's very odd but so likeable. Definitely worth a try. I also can't decide whether this is a scent that is better suited for warm weather or very very cold, but time will tell.
Edit 04/07/2025
Tried this out again recently at night and after that initial savoury stage the floral milkiness that is left on my arm is far more wearable. Never less complex or interesting, but like the meal has been eaten and you're just left to soak in the sun and the scent of the flowers meant for decoration.

Despite the immense variety of ingredients, the scent has a clear, bright, fruity line that becomes spicy-balsamic-powdery in the drydown.

I think it's great - a cup of coffee with sweet, juicy fruit cake, then it becomes more balsamic, soft, warm, something to feel good about.

A spicy-gourmand scent that reminds me a bit of Essence of Masada, as it has a slightly caramel smell. Lightly oriental.

Soup vegetables, fruits, flowers, resins, woods, strange, rhubarb compote with vanilla sauce, milk coffee from Muckefuck, Arabic with coriander. Confused between disgusting and okay.
