Un Matin au Jardin - Agrumes en Fleurs / Citrus Flower

Yves Rocher · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Yves Rocher Un Matin au Jardin - Agrumes en Fleurs / Citrus Flower is a fresh, citrusy women's scent that leans towards spring and summer and easygoing everyday wear; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light trace. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most mentioned occasions. Most see it as feminine. Mandarin orange and orange open it, with neroli and thyme in the heart and sweet notes at the base. Fresh, citrus and floral accords lead, with green and fruity touches alongside, and the sweetness settles in gently underneath.

Amber Elixir Crystal

Oriflame · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Oriflame Amber Elixir Crystal is a fresh, aquatic floral-fruity scent for women that settles into a creamy vanilla sweetness. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are not firm. Most voters pick it for leisure and daily wear, with business a distant third. It opens with Baltic amber, aquatic notes and grapefruit, which gives a bright, lightly fruity first impression. In the heart, violet and orange blossom add a soft floral tone while black caraway brings a touch of spice. The base of vanilla, coconut milk and cane sugar turns it sweet and creamy. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey by Kevin Lucbert and Mykonos Nautilus have a close profile.

The overall impression is sweet and fresh, with a slightly synthetic edge in the accords. Korres Apothecary Wild Rose and Anna Sui Anna Sui have a close profile.
