   |  This perfume belongs in 1934, Grandma in a bottle. Musty smelling18 June 2009 |
  |  A stunning classic that rivals the best of Chanel (No. 5) and Givenchy (Le De) or YSL (Paris). To some, this scent seems dated. Its aldehydic/floral-soapy/woody combination harkens back to bygone days when fragrance had character, instead of style. Fleurs de Rocaille is a floral/carnation concoction so prim and proper it almost seems destined only for well-behaved women. Like other Carons of its day, it reflects the common saying that "Guerlain is for kept women, Caron is for duchesses." 09 February 2009 |
 | As far as this gal goes, Fleurs is way too light. But I love the aldehydes and the fact that, unlike another certain aldehydic floral, it neither gives me a headache nor turns into baby lotion on me. I can wear this one-- not for long, five hours at best-- but it works on me. That isn't to say it suits my personality, but I can wear it, and that is pleasing. I know aldehydes can be intimidating to some, but I think the lightness, subtlety, and utter prettiness of Fleurs would make it a good fragrance for a gal who isn't that into perfume. 03 February 2009 |
  | I fell in love with it. I like florals; i have tried thousand of florals; many of them alike. But this one is extraordinary, amazing... This is an impressionist masterpiece... 08 July 2008 |
 |  Fleurs de Rocaille is a retro aldehydic floral with a blend of flowers including magnolia and lily of the valley. Fascinating and unusual aroma. To me, it has a phantom note that smells like fruit punch, but is almost spicy. Clean, a bit soapy, with an up-lifting feeling. Not the least bit heavy. If you like Caleche, you should like this as it is much more interesting. 20 October 2007 |
 | My fingers move aside the floral silk and cotton skarves that drape the corner of the mirror. My hand caresses then passes over the sepia photo tucked under the edge, moving down to the tortoiseshell bowl of dried roses and carnation pinks, riffling the petals as my fingers pass. My fingers turn to the bakelite container. I lift the lid and powder drifts up and hangs in the still air. I lean forward, the layers of my dress rustle against the old leather of my stool. What next? Ah. My hand pulls the ornate brass handle of the drawer and sifts through slips and stockings. There- I fish out the elusive cylinder and scroll it open to apply the deep dusky pink to my lips. 17 April 2007 |
