An iconic classic in its own rite, Quelques Fleurs is a true ingenious scent of its time. The French perfumer, Robert Bienaimé, unveiled Quelques Fleurs the first true multi-floral blend ever created, in 1912.

Since then, his perfectly-balanced, refined bouquet has become modern perfumery’s peerless criterion for pure, meticulously-crafted, multi-floral accords. Prior to his bold invention, floral fragrances had been mainly singular flowers, or florals combined with various nuances of herbs and spices. Bienaimé’s singular triumph is remarkable for its secret, mythical formula. Upwards of 15,000 exemplary flowers and 250 prestigious raw materials are diligently-curated in the creation of a single ounce of perfume.

  • Key notes:
  • bergamot

  • mandarin
  • Aromagroups:

Perfumer: Michèle Saramito

A new addition to Bloom’s portfolio, an elegant cologne with sweet sun kissed citruses, honeyed neroli and amber background.

With classic formulas it’s the quality of the ingredients that matters. Marie Jeanne might be a new perfume house, but it’s founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.

Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.

This is Marcelle, a classic elegant cologne but with highly likely the best bergamot from Italy, grapefruit from Spain, neroli from Tunisia and petigrain from Paraguay among other notes in the formula.

Early morning, October 1175, Calabria

The cool night air dissipates under the sun’s first rays. The ripe citrus in the field has absorbed all the water of the morning dew and the farmers are ready to work on the misty green fields, speckled by the bright yellow of the citron. They leave their woody cabin and take a deep breath…

In India, flowers are sacred symbols and an essential part of daily life. “Malli Nadu” means “land of jasmine”, inspired by the paradise of perfume ingredients found in India. There’s jasmine sambac, cultivated in India since antiquity, with its radiant fruity/green sheen and animalic undertone. There’s tuberose, an opulent, powerful floral, along with davana, an aromatic plant unique to India with a profile that vibrates between apricot and herbaceous. Palmerosa oil supplies a geranium-like lift, while Indian vetiver and sandalwood deepens and softens the composition. Perfumer Ilias Ermenidis sought to translate the romance of India into this luminous scent, which he calls “a fragrance for lovers”

About Good Girl Légère by Carolina Herrera

How does Good Girl Légère differ from these fragrances?
Good Girl Légère combines a complex oriental floral heart with gourmand notes like caramel and praline, balanced by citrus and woody elements. The fragrances listed share some of these notes but vary in emphasis, with some focusing more on powdery, fresh, leathery or fruity aspects rather than the same gourmand floral balance.
Which perfumes here are the freshest compared to Good Girl Légère?
Marcelle and L’Etrog Acqua offer a fresher, more citrus-driven profile with less sweetness and gourmand influence. Teint De Neige also provides a clean, powdery freshness distinct from Good Girl Légère’s warmer gourmand facets.
Are any of these fragrances more intense or animalic than Good Girl Légère?
Yes, Quelque Fleur Extreme introduces a civet note for a powdery animalic depth, while Forgive Me is notably beastly with leather and labdanum, offering a stronger intensity compared to the smoother gourmand character of Good Girl Légère.
