Review of Quelques Fleurs L'Original Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

this is that marvelous perfume that 'sits' in my house since the 1990s. and despite being reformulated they knew how to beheld an almost unbelievably heady, flowery, Parfum Personelle, with lots of beauty emanating from the first spritz. Rose ánd Carnation, Civet, Ylang, Tubéreuse, Lilac, Jasmine, Héliotrope, Iris, Orris, Orange Blossom and Orchid, what is there nót to choke on. I fell in love immediately and bought at once Quelques Fleurs Royales (2004) too. so that must have been the time I bought these. to lend this review more acuity I now spritzed perfume over the now (after 8 hours) dempening Montale Aoud Queen Roses (2007) and the 'Originale' comes in big sways over me. it is superbly blended and I can also imagine the real Original (from 1913) would have been less sharp and affrontive yet all is well and the perfume is located within that spectrum where I love my perfumes to be. a Super Power Flower missile with yet enough complication and intrigue. the QFR (2004) has a much more simple Diagram of Notes yet is also divine, but this, oh this perfume is oh so sophiticated and feminine. reminiscent to chanel No5 and BoisDesIles, OrizaL.Legrands Marrions-Nous, S'e'crèt Joly and even Vétiver Bourbon, to Creeds 1980s Power Perfumes with Exemplary and Exquise Irises, Roses, Mimosa, Jasmine, Ylang and Tubéreuses. a 'Last Century' Reminiscence with 'Les Salles De Miroirs' and the Petersburg's Amber-Room. also with Boudoirerie, Cocottes, Flappers, Ballerines Russes and Douarières. the Freshness in the beginning I lay by the Green Notes, Tarragon, Orange Blossom. (I had Houbigants Orangers en Fleurs (2012) which was a sort of Calm Giorgio.) precious and loyal to the Orangier. here the Orange Blossom lives in the opening to herald her arriving all, heady and syrupy, hookerish and sinister, blinding and Powder Powering sisters Carnation, Rose, Jasmine, Ylang, Lilac and Lily.o.t.Valley, Iris, Violet, Orris and Orchid. no less. they dance like dervishes and swirl and virevoltent around my head. before this Sisterhood still the refreshening of the Hesperides Bergamot, Citruses and Lemon which I only sometimes can detect distracted from the 'body of the perfume' but here add to a Fabulous Ouverture soon to be outcasted by the Devilish Sisterhood of les Parfums de Nuit et les Arômes Folles du Soir. Oakmoss, Honey (I must think about Vero Kern who was a mastress in Honey), Civet and Musk, Sandel, Vanilla, Amber and Tonka all make this perfume as Exquise as Exceptionnelle. these 3.4oz100mL Edp flacons have a strange Flaw: you always spray too much (the nozzle), not that that is a problem for me. yet I was never an Oversprayer bc my perfumes were always Chemical Accidents Code4. in this Coupe QFO feels right at home. I remember Quelques Fleurs after my acquisition exploded in New Versions: 'Essence Rare', 'Mon Boudoir' (NOTHING shall ever overpower Vivienne Westwoods Boudoir of which I even had the perfume...). 'La Belle Saison', 'Quelques Fleurs Royale Collection Privee' 2016 and more, some of which are re-iterated Antique and Venerable Houbigant Perfumes. but THIS is THE perfume. a Jewel in the Crown of a Collection of 290 perfumes (I must think of the Chandelier Bijan made in his Beverly Hills boutique, from flacons perfume $ 1,000 a piece. and that was also a very rich and Involving, Encapsulating Perfume...) and now: 'Here come the Brides', I am circumsurrounded with the most heavenly Vapeurs et Frilles, Ruches et Joiallerie des Pétales... the civet is very well integrated and engraciate this whole experience.
