Fleur Cherie – Orange Blossom Heaven

I really liked this fragrance, although it is only an eau de toilette it packs a powerful sillage and I found it lasted right from shower to lunchtime without losing any of the juicy orange blossom notes. It’s a fresh and sparkling fragrance to wear – especially in these dark winter months when you really do want to just close your eyes and pretend you are relaxing in Portofino!
Fleur Cherie eau de Toilette, 75ml, £32.00
The orange blossom is a much-loved flower throughout the Mediterranean, a perfume and beauty legend. Its essential oil, neroli, has such a subtle and delicate aroma that it became the signature scent of a certain princess. L’OCCITANE celebrates these small white flowers through its new fragrance: Fleur Cherie.
The fragrance collection pays homage to the sweet, delicate scent of orange blossom, in a sparkling, airy, floral fragrance and lingering woody notes.
The fragrant magic of orange blossom is due to its incredible complexity, its ability to reveal and enhance the many facets of a woman, to arouse different emotions, and to bring long-lost memories back to the surface…
Orange blossom is perfect for playing with contrasts: it is fragile yet strong, delicate yet rich, sweet yet sparkling, fresh yet sensual, childlike yet womanly…

If you like the Orange Blossom fragrance – you could also try;
Armani Code
If you prefer a perfume to an eau de toilette or are a “designer” magpie, then the Armani Code for women has the same sparkling top notes as Fleur Cherie, although dries down to a more vanilla/honey base – which isn’t really to my taste – which is why I prefer the Fleur Cherie. You pay for Orange Blossom, you get orange blossom.
Tom Ford – Portofino
A stunning, very high end fragrance, £114 for a bottle and infused with orange blossom and neroli. A really special treat for someone special perhaps? Outstanding sillage – lasted all day and even on the test card, right through till the next day. Not for shrinking violets, this fragrance will get you noticed.
