Tina1960

Sharp and fresh, this perfume is the perfect antidote to a hot summer's day when you want fresh scent that doesn't cloy The initial hit is quite sharp but it does soften down somewhat. In truth, this is not a great favourite of mine but I would say it is a modern scent, perhaps best suited to someone sporty

Cocoa, apricots and nicotiana; that is what this perfume says to me. A long-time favourite this is a great all-rounder which lasts well and warms nicely on the skin. My tastes now move toward the slightly less 'obvious' fragrances but this is only easily available brand that remains in my perfume arsenal and long may it do so!

I'm surprised this perfume does not rate higher. As a lover of Miller Harris I have to say this M&S range is a bargain. La Fleur is a potent floral that last well and is rich in vanilla and white floral notes. The initial 'hit' has been described by some as synthetic, which I think is a bit unfair (although it is certainly powerful). The dry-down is richer and reminds me of Fleur Oriental - a long time favourite of mine. This perfume edges the modern and lasts well. A good choice for floral lovers who want a bit more kick!
