Yves Rocher Quelques Notes d'Amour

I have tried quite a few fragrances from Yves Rochers, one I bought a few years ago and one I was sent before summer this year (here). I haven't tried a more autumnal/musky scent from Yves Rocher until now. This fragrance is the latest offering from Yves Rocher and it doesn't disappoint!

The *Yves Rocher Quelques Note d'Amour L'eau de Parfum (£33, 30ml). This fragrance is currently on sale for only £17.50 for a 30ml bottle! Firstly, the bottle is and packaging is simple and elegant, I love the heart imprint on the side of the bottle. The fragrance notes are as follows: Rose, Gaiac wood and Benzoin. 

The fragrance, in my opinion, is a gorgeous musky fragrance although the scent of roses is strong throughout the perfume. The combination of notes is beautiful and perfect for autumn/winter, especially if you don't like very musky or spicy scents. I think it could easily be worn during the day or evening as although it is musky, the rose lifts it and give the fragrance a hint of sultry sweetness which makes the fragrance more feminine. 

The longevity is fairly good at about five hours on me, it may differ on others though. The fragrance lasts a bit longer on clothing though. 

Overall, I love the scent of this perfume, it is a musky floral which sounds very generic but it is actually quite unique, in my opinion. The bottle is pretty and simple; I think it would make a gorgeous christmas gift! I wish the fragrance lasted a little longer on me though. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

Review: Yves Rocher Moment de Bonheur

I was very kindly sent this fragrance to review from Baobella, click here to check out their site. I have loved Yves Rocher for years but  I wish they had stores or concessions here! I did have a couple of their fragrances two/three of years ago called Peach and also Flower Party both of which I really liked, especially the latter. 

I have the *Yves Rocher L'eau Moment de Bonheur (50ml, EDT, £38). Firstly, the packaging is just gorgeous - so simple, clean and fresh, perfect for the time of the year. The bottle is pretty too as well as being simple and practical. However, one thing about the packaging that I don't like is the green writing on top of the green liquid. The fragrance comes in a 50ml size and also a 15ml purse spray (£13) which sounds so convenient and handy for travelling.

The fragrance notes are as follows: centifolia rose, sweet apple and virginia cedar essence. Individually all of the notes sound just gorgeous, especially the rose and unusual sweet apple. The notes combine beautifully to create a gorgeous floral, fresh, crisp scent that does have a slight musk towards the end of the wear of the fragrance but it still remains very light and refreshing. The scent is almost an instant pick me up, it is so refreshing - perfect for spring/summer. 

The longevity of the fragrance is good, on clothing it lasts for around four hours on me and on my skin it lasts for around five hours which I think is very good overall - however everyones skin 'chemistry' is different so fragrances may last longer on some people when compared to others. Considering this fragrance is an eau de toilette, it is not expected to be amazingly long lasting anyway. Tip: applying a unscented body lotion before using a fragrance may make it last longer! 

Overall, I love the packaging and the fragrance - it smells like spring/summer in a  bottle to me. It is very uplifting, refreshing and light. The longevity is very good, although not amazing on me personally. I am very happy with the fragrance and I would definitely recommend Yves Rocher perfumes. ★★★★★, 5/5 from me!
