Citrus floral, and orange blossoms.
An interesting fresh yet animalic blend of captivation. Powdery animalic with orange honey, and lime aldehydes. Carnation and geranium, oakmoss, lily of the valley, opoponax, ylang, vetiver, and oranges.
This is complex, the deeper you dig the more new horizons you experience! the colder the powdier it become.
A very interesting blend.
Edit (30+ minutes in) it reminds me of Grossmith’s blends, and most likely “Shem El Nessim”.
Edit (2+ Hours) It settled to be similar to “Phul Nana” by Grossmith.

I was fortunate to acquire a pristine, sealed 2 oz Extrait Flacon of this recently. I’m fairly certain it’s late 1920s to mid 1930s. I’m amazed to find it opens with orange, spice and soapy aldehydes that linger as it moves into a sweet mixed floral bouquet starring carnation; I expected any top notes to be gone but they’re here for a good bit. The only flower that stands out is carnation though at moments I catch rose and geranium. The base is mossy, resinous and musky with civet, oppoponax, vetiver, sandalwood, tonka.
I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s a bright unique floral aldehydic with oriental touches.

From a 1950s nip,
Fleurs d’ Amour is definitely a “fruity-floral”, and it was used as an example of a “fruity-blend” in perfume types of the day. There’s almost a fruit-nut vibe going on with this one. the closest (still in modern production) fragrance I can compare it to is “Fantasia de Fleurs”, by creed, it’s like a cheap knockoff of Fantasia.
I’m not surprised that this scent was unpopular when it was launched in 1902. There’s something about it that comes off as “strange”, I guess it’s because with a name like “Fleurs d’ Amour”, I’m still looking for the flowers in it. Fleurs d’ Amour smells like an experiment in wistful thinking from the distant past.
