Fleur Universelle was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Julie Masse.

Smells like a darker spicier version of one million, it is a very nice fragrance, cant get away from that but it doesn’t project very well on my skin, had compliments today with it- 7.5/10

OmG. I love this perfume! I just got it and I simply love it!
On my skin is all about rum and tonka…Just sexy

This is the first trully unisex scent that I’ve tried from the premium line of Lalique. It is safe and pleasant daytime scent for spring and especially for summer. Moderate sillage and above the average longevity. I’m not impressed but I like it. Somehow it reminds me a bunch of other fragrancues but nothing in particular.
On my skin dominant notes are firstly the cinnamon along with rum, tonka beans and mild pink pepper. Smooth blend but I’d prefer a discreet cinnamon note which won’t become dominant. The myrrh is mild on my skin, this scent is not dark. There is also intensive immortelle and noticeable but soft cardamom. Whatever is this lorenox note, does not affects the blend.
If you love cinnamon try it. Quite versatile and safe scent.

Lordy, lordy, lordy: this is darn good. I am a male and not much into roses and petals and that sort of garden on my fragrances. Not this gem: the “fleur” is beautifully done with that booziness aura that is intoxicating. Blind buy jackpot. Yayyyyy!!!!!

Opens very resinous with myrrh, labdanum, immortelle. A beautiful pepper note adds a delicate sparkle.
Quite natural-smelling tonka and syrupy immortelle come forward in the heart giving a true boozy impression. There’s a very subtle sweatiness from the immortelle- a welcome bit of complexity.
Immortelle persists into the drydown supported by practically nothing. Gives a nice syrupy amber impression, but severely lacks complexity and tenacity. Patchouli could’ve done wonders here.

Slinky evening dress with either plunging neckline or open back, you choose, a sharp suit works too. Point is, if you wear this with jeans and a t-shirt, I’ll have to find you and tear your clothes off, because wearing this naked is definitely better.
Love.

Sexy, boozy : an adult’s only rum and raisin icecream.
I own it, and love it.

Delicious, animalic, sophisticated, fruity. 10/10

This is slightly dry and definitely spicy. Almost gingery.
I wish I got the longevity others got.
It’s come down to this or the Or Intemporel. I’m leaning towards the latter because it projects considerably more.

Apart from being boozy, syrupy and spiced, this gorgeous oriental is also a soft incense. I realised when I oversprayed it one afternoon. It also blooms with heat as do many orientals. It is on the soft side, but lasts a long time and is especially yummy to wear late at night and even to bed. Comforting and warm. It smells golden!

I’m in deep love with this perfume 🙂 The scent is so rich, warm and sweet with such beautiful complexity. The bottle and the package design are so classy and luxurious. It is definitely a very romantic scent. I stumbled upon this bottle last week at a beauty store and I test sprayed it on a testing paper. I could still smell the scent on the paper after 8 days. The longevity is crazy lasting and end notes are beautiful and elegant. Pricey but worth it. A must own for anyone’s fragrance collection I’d say.

A lovely,warm spicy and unique perfume.
this is an unisex fragrance like any other of “NOIR PREMIER LA COLLECTION”… it’s wonderfully rich&warm spicy,a bit sweet with top note “Pink Pepper and rum”..Interesting I think it could be even better on a man.longevity and sillage are very well.This is one of the most beautiful Pink Pepper base fragrance i have ever smelled.

Yesterday I stumbled over this beautiful fragrance and was stunned in a second when my nose made contact with the spicy aroma.
The bottles certainly draw your attention and you somehow hope their content matches the attractive flacons.
Out of the whole line I like Fleur Universelle and the Or the most. Unfortunately, the price (I paid 222 Euro) made it impossible to simply buy both….but I indulged in one of them. My choice was the wonderful unflowery flower scent. There are no flowers in there, just spices, vanilla and : dust. In a positive way. In the beginning you encounter nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom, it´s all about gingerbread. Then the dust kicks in. Dried flowers smell similar, at least in my memory, always liked to smell them. The base is woody and resembles Armani´s Bois d´Encens.
This scent very much reminds me of Bois d´Arménie by Guerlain. The same soft and very understated sweetness, the dry and dusty feel, similar to old libraries. The same class but in a much more beautiful Art Nouveau bottle.
OK, the outer lacquered box is totally unnecessary for me (I hate the ritual of unboxing the whole thing before using the scent but then you do not want to Keep such a bottle unboxed). I hate to pay for such fancy-schmancy knick-knack but well…the Juice is my focus.
Personally, I would describe this perfume my favourite discovery of the year 2015 (it came late but it did come after all).
Cheers !

In ‘Fleur Universelle’, the warm-sand scent of the everlasting flower is enhanced by rum and cinnamon and spiced up with pink pepper and cardamom. It is a comforting and mesmerizing scent. Sweet caramel facets of rum blend effortlessly with cinnamon’s warming spiciness in the opening notes. Pink pepper and cardamom offer inward reflection and further piquant accord. Slowly as if a cautiously opening bloom, the eponymous immortelle flower is noticed. Its unique scent profile is so expertly blended with the other components as to be nearly seamless in its transition. Immortelle’s dusty, ambery and caramelic facets are put on full display. Here additions of myrrh and tonka bean swirl in and out of focus contributing hay-like qualities and hints of resinous depth. Patchouli and a synthetic “Lorenox” note (woody, ambery, and aromatic) complete the fragrance’s base.
For me this fragrance epitomizes autumn, carrying with it a clever comfortableness which invites long embraces. It leans masculine due to its heavy reliance upon amber, spice and woody notes, but may be certainly enjoyed and worn by women as well. ‘Fleur Universelle’ is captivating in that it can be successfully suited for causal encounters as well as reserved for more formal occasions. It brandishes a definite sensuality, wrapping its wearer in both luxury and comfort. Those close enough to smell its beauty will most certainly be drawn nearer to gain an additional whiff.

Beautiful product! The bottle alone is to die for and it comes in a LALIQUE branded French polished wooden black box that screams understated luxury.
The entire collection is a feast for the eye and brilliant packaging.
The scent here is marvellous and very similar to GUERLAIN’s L’Instant de Guerlain.
No floral component except for Immortelle, very spicy, warm, sweet, cozy, feel-good aromatic elixir.
Only let down, it does not last as long as an EdP should, so for me it really only is an EdT in terms of longevity.
And I would love to know and have someone competent explain to me, what that “Lorexon Molecule” is supposed to smell like.
This retails at £180 in London’s most luxurious department store and I think it makes a brilliant Xmas gift or just another excuse to update your fall/winter scent wardrobe.
For those on a budget: get “L’instant” de Guerlain and you get perhaps a ‘better perfume for less money”…..perhaps that is.
8/10.
