Description
“A delicate trace unwinds
A fragile line goes forth
Towards the imminence of a chance meeting
Promised fusion.
An implacable frontier stands and signals
The impossible communion of beings.
A desire vibrant and imperial dreams of defying this insurmountable border
The tension is extreme
Fanciful fusion?
Fusion constantly postponed
Which condemns the shortness of breath and the feverish glance
To remain before the temple door.
Something rises
Managing an ambivalent leap
Both towards and away from itself
A qualitative leap, a sense of intimate realisation
A magical duality which both allows and risks the blend
of heavenly unions
A sacred fusion” — press release of the brand. Fusion Sacrée Clair was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Bertrand Duchaufour.

Outstanding creation by B. Duchaufour! Amongst his most inspired creations (together with Nuit de tubereuse,and the whole Neela Vermeire collection)
The tuberose note is masterfully rendered, full-force blown in all its most alluring facets: the sharp green, the medicinal blast and the creamy, voluptuous embrace of tuberose with swirls of Camilla, coffee and Woody/ambery notes.
Very oomph…
Absolutely fantastic, long lasting and very diffusive.

A stunner that seems misunderstood, probably because people overspray this very very strong potion. Fusion Sacree Clair is more Amouage than many of the newer Amouages, a little challenging but also very rewarding. This is a winter gardenia perfume, a brilliant idea and well-executed. It sets the white flowers against dark notes that look like gourmands but don’t smell like a kitchen or a bakery. The opening that some people find vegetal is necessary to the overall balance, because without that crisp tart opening it could be tooth achingly sweet. And it is refreshing to find a perfume that opens with something besides just citrus. After that, it’s a white floral bomb that makes Carnal Flower seem like a shrinking violet, with tuberose and a true gardenia against a rich backdrop of coffee and resins and incense. I smell myrrh, although I don’t see it in the notes pyramid. Superb quality materials, complex and very sophisticated. Not for little girls. Lasts forever and a day.

Fusion Sacree Clair to my nose is a wall of gardenia syrup and coffee, and despite never experiencing a scent quite like this specifically, it still makes me feel extremely nostalgic. The heavy white florals take me back to my childhood visiting my grandparents in rural south Georgia. I remember sitting on the front porch swing on warm humid evenings and the air would be thick with the scent of gardenias, magnolia and climbing Confederate jasmine. All this would mingle with the smell of black walnut bushes, fig and pecan trees, and topped off with the smell of the after dinner coffee the grown-ups were drinking. This is rich, heady stuff! After a couple of hours though the sticky gardenia starts to fade and I get a warm, sweet vanilla-patchouli that lasts out the evening. Beautiful.

What a puzzling creation. The kitchen sink must be in there somewhere lol You get bombarded with surprising notes. I get the vegetable up front. I admit I’m not at all keen on the opening. I would never have guessed about the tuberose.
Thankfully on the dry down it improves considerably but do I want to wait?! Now the tuberose can surface with that slightly sour backdrop. Im having a hard job picking out the rhubarb and coffee. They definitely add an interesting backdrop to the familiar white floral notes. I do like it.
Be aware though that the opening will be challenging unless you usual favour smelling of obscure vegetable like scents.
It certain hangs around along time.

Very well done. I wish I was the nose that created this jewel! (The clementine note is to die for). If life gets bitter, go with Fusion Sacrée Clair.

This is strong stuff, 2 sprays only, and you will perfume the car/lift/bus. It’s a sweet, hefty fruity floral, very well made and quite a one-off, I haven’t found anything else which has such a big dose of rhubarb. For me it’s only a “like” but if you don’t mind the rhubarb/fig, you may fall in love, as this is an incredible blend including balsam, vanilla and tuberose. Not for wallflowers or confined spaces, I highly recommend you try it, preferably in Spring or Autumn, because it’s so unusual. It’s consistently keeping high prices on eBay for a reason – there’s nothing like it. Your sample will give you several days’ wear, and everyone will ask you what it is! xx

I smell like gardenias mixed with SWEET banana candy. It’s a little melon-y, a little round-waxy-fruity, and it actually blends really well with an overripe gardenia smell that has, on me anyway, a little decay type stink to it. Like rotting Banana flavor Laffy Taffy or something! It’s definitely interesting but seems super young and…. pink. I smell a bubbly teenager with a pink patent leather purse. Not for me.

Smells very weird to me, vegetal but so sweet.
Peicingly sweet actually more than most mainstream scents.
Was also very cloying on me, I had to scrub it off.
I will say that the sillage and longevity are great.

Aaaahhhhh!!!! What a beauty!!!! Oh I love Fusion Sacree For Her – it’s exquisite!!! Such wonderful things in it!!! I love the rhubarb, it’s brilliant, and gosh, everything!!! It’s lovely and sweet and gentle, quite thrilling really. It’s amazing. So many lovely ingredients! Beautiful coffee, gorgeous clementine!!! Gorgeous gardenia, tuberose and jasmine!!! And vanilla, and figs, black currant, heliotrope!!! Many many things, but so well-blended, I have to look for the individual notes. It’s just a gorgeous smell!!!!!
I just adore this house! And these brilliant masterpieces of bottles!!!!! Gosh!!!

This is so complex and interesting. It opened on me with a big green celery note, joined by a sharp rhubarb, then opened into a sweet, buttery tuberose. It’s the same green tuberose as in Carnal Flower, but dipped in warm sugary vanilla. It then morphed into a warm gardenia. This is so truly interesting. If I didn’t already own CF, I would definitely buy this.

Instant love, cant wait to discover how it unfolds! Sweet heady floral!
Try the slightly less expensive Aerin Gardenia Tuberose – they have an identical note , Aerin is crisp and transparent while Majda is syrupy , Both are favorites. And Roja dove Lily is identical but uber expensive.

Ughhh – I was rally really hopng that the rhubarb and fig would be small and hiding away under a nice blackcurrant-dominated opening but – who’m I kidding.
You’d rather call this rhubarb sacree! Think like something veggy and rosy-creamy but liquefied.
It’s not for the timid and ‘safees’ are definitely recommended to stay away from anything but a sample vial!
As usual, the basenotes in a Madja creation are opulent and sumptuous beyond belief – but it’s way too much of the usual odd bewildering introduction and first hour or 2 to begin to get there.
It’s nice and sweet but one of those scent that probably, simpler was better and would have been very nice if a few of the veggy oddities were removed. Disappointing.
Basically, another horror show from this House for me, sadly, it just appears a fancy dance for the note-list promenade =/
My rating: 4/10.
Scent quality: 9/10.

I love this perfume! I feel like next to me there is a large white chocolate bar, not excessively sweet. It is a long-lasting one and I would like to have it forever in my wardrobe!
Knothvomweemn – :
gardenia, Tuberose, citrus, vanilla, figs, black current, with slight sweetish spices, i can smell cantaloupe, Syrian jasmine, ambergris, and watermelon. too much ingredients to establish an acceptable fragrance. sweetish spice complex with an astonishing silage and i guess a very longevity fragrance. not bad though and not amazing either for me, i need to test it more to see the individuality that captured me!
axanchik – :
The first two hours of wear was a constant push-pull of tart rhubarb, juicy clementine, and sweet, sugary fig and vanilla. After combing my memory for why the scent seemed so familiar, I finally hit upon it: Sweet Tarts. It smells exactly like Sweet Tarts. I would have loved to experience the fruits of this fragrance without the over-sweet sugar.
In the later drydown, the rhubarb sadly disappears on my skin, and all I’m left with is a very sugary kids’ breakfast cereal; in fact, it resembles Lostmarch Lann-Ael, except lacking the lovely apple note that makes Lann-Ael so special for me. I know milk and grains are not listed notes, but I sure do sense that they are in there; likely the heliotrope and musk are tricking me.
I got no coffee at any stage, which also was disappointing; I also got zero fir, or cedar. There is a pale but distinctive patch note in the far, far drydown for me, and it was at this stage (more than 2 hours later) that I got a sudden Fancy Nights vibe from this fragrance, and less sweetness.
Overall, I wish this fragrance had emphasized its fruitier notes for longer, and held back on the sugar overload. The very different stages that bookend the cereal sweetness are quite interesting, but they are far too fleeting. The bottle is quite lovely.

I can feel pleasantly fig nectar and then orange blossom and tuberose, no coffe. Great for sophisticated women.

I got a sample today. For such a strange reason, on my skin this fragrance smells of cappuccino (coffee + milk),wich I dislike.

This smells divine! I tested Fusion Sacree- For Her several times before forming a firm opinion of the fragrance. Fusion Sacree- For Her starts off very fruity, sweet and unique. At the top I get rhubarb, fig, orange blossom, tuberose and coffee. If it sounds like a lot that’s because it is- and it smells incredible! After the vibrant opening, vanilla and patchouli unveil themselves deepening the composition. The result is delicious, fruity and soulful. This is very nice. The key to understanding this fragrance is to allow it to run it’s course before making up your mind. I dig this one!
archi1403 – :
I smell white florals and carrots. yes seriously.
This is what I picture Bugs Bunny smelling like when he would cross dress and try to seduce Elmer Fudd with his fake eyelashes and voluptuous hips. What a bad day for samples I’m having!

Fusion Sacree For Her is definitely the inferior sibling of the two. Not a bad offering; both are equally unisex but saying this smells like the male version is facile. That’s like saying Amouage woman and man share similarities. Duh!! Although this starts with a strong diet root beer accord, the frag never exceeds the gourmand speed limit. This is well made and properly mixed; for that reason, it’s hard to gauge what notes prevents this from becoming too gourmandish. The longevity isn’t to my liking. This appears to clock in at 4 hours on my July skin. I hate to be the one to reduce this fragrance to a root beer float but it is what it is. All in all, it’s aiiight! Tons of notes guarantees a different experience so try if you will.
