   |  All I can come up with for a list of notes for this is rose, iris, and ambergris. However, I find it to be an over-the-top sweet, deep floral with huge animalic notes--actually borderline fecal, as in civit. Maybe it just has a great deal of raunchy musk. At any rate, it is an exceedingly sweet with a big dose of animalics, and it doesn't work for me. My apologies to the many who find it charming. It certainly isn't subtle.20 September 2008 |
 |  I tried this on a whim after reading some reviews. It opened for me as something akin to walking into a dense flower garden on a hot day, heady and lush. A small sample on my wrist seemed to hang delightfully in the air. After a short time it dries down to something softer and rich yet still maintains the lightness of its flowers. After a few hours, it still held its allure and even seemed to possess a deeper smoothness, which lasted throughout the day. Absolutely timeless and a must have.24 August 2008 |
  | 146 years old by now. 8 years older than Jasmin Impératrice Eugénie, 28 years older than Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare. But much more fresher and timeless. Opens with a rich bouquet of flowers and in the middle a good trick for freshness; lemon and lemon flowers comes. Dries down rich and solid with mostly lily of the valley. If they produce Fantasia De Fleurs with the same ingredients they do a centuary ago; then time is not a reason for us to forgive the heavy arabic oils Caron used in en avion, french cancan and nuit noel nearly sixty years later. Fantasia De Fleurs is still an excellent floral to wear everyday. 13 July 2008 |
 | Amazing how a scent can be over 100 years old and so wearable. Fresh, floral with a "shocking" dose of musk. Very nice indeed. 20 May 2007 |
  | Fantasia de Fleurs smells mostly of rose and jasmine to me, blended with a host of other white flowers. It’s all very bright and cheerful: a flower garden on a sunny day in June. Fantasia de Fleurs bears a family resemblance to this house’s later Fleurissimo, but it’s a bit richer, heavier, and ultimately more earthbound, due I think to a much stronger dose of Bulgarian rose. Zztop is right to point out that this fragrance has aged very well, without ever betraying its vintage character. Nice. 02 April 2007 |

| Wow, zztop said it so well. I personally didn't like the opening however I loved the way it melded into my skin after the 15 minutes and landed a very agreeable fragrance. 06 January 2007 |
