French Bouquet is a homage to the legacy of French perfumes in the 1970s. It showcases authentic Parisian sophistication and the capital's passion-filled nights, embodying the ultimate in French elegance. Created by Amélie Bourgeois (Flair), French Bouquet is a traditional chypre in which bergamot, rose, jasmine, oak moss and musk are revealed and sublimated by aldehydes. Their slightly oily and metallic potency gives a powdery appeal, as well as whitens and brightens the flowers in the chypre accord. This fragrance is the quintessence of French perfume, said Vesa Kalho, Beauty Buyer at Harrods.

Glamorous fragrance from years gone by
This fragrance is old school glamour. It is Chanel 5 and Arpege and Caleche. It is for a mature woman who prefers life the way it used to be. Feminine and lady like. It is so beautiful and timelessly elegant. If you like Chanel 5 without the screechiness, this is perfection for you.

Two Stars from me.
Very weak soft floral. Pretty floral but did not last on my skin. Tried a sample sent to me by Libertine, not full bottle worthy, not my style. I prefer full body, strong, long lasting and big sillage when paying big dollars for scents.
