I’m a sucker for soliflore fragrances. I want to smell these.
I’m a sucker for 20 ml bottles! Wish my YR store had not closed.
The collection comes across as a Hermes rip-off, IMHO.
I thought exactly the same thing. The name and the bottle design definitely share some similarities.
Perhaps, but it’s always nice to have a downmarket substitute for those fragrance lovers who have been fitted with a leash by their credit card statements.
definitely!
How interesting, it does not strike me that way at all — if anything, YR has been doing this sort of thing longer than Hermes.
It occurred to me as well as soon as I saw it. I think it’s more the shape of the bottles and the word “Jardin”… rather than the aesthetic of the scents themselves.
Oh, gotcha. Sorry, that went over my head…
Rictor07, I can imagine the executives stating in the brief, “No green bottles!”
This is totally unrelated but does anyone know a good substitute for Cher Uninhibited? While I understand that you can still get it via ebay – my friend wants something that’s close but “new”. What is a good close proximity now days?
That’s a tough one. Maybe the new David Yurman or Natori?
YR makes some fragrances I really like for casual wear, and all of these look great. Especially in 20ml bottles! Other fragrance houses please take note. 🙂
I lovee Yves Rocher – I will definitely give these a try. Those 20 mls will have some dirt-cheap moments, I’m sure.
I’m with you. Plus, dirt-cheap + high quality = a nice surprise in this big-ticket world.
I will definitely try these!
purple lilac. sign me up! the dearth of lilac fragrances always saddens me. i know this isn’t frederic malle-quality but i need more than just en passant!
