(sample review)
I wore this and as soon as I was out walking on the streets, I felt this fragrance is so “queenish”. It is weird but this is the word that came to my mind. It’s cold.(how could they have made amber so cold?). Unforgiving. Dignified almost arrogant. With a touch of animalistic lure and unattainablity. I felt like if this fragrance spoke it would say:”bow down, queen is here!”
Then now I read calvini’s comment that it was made for queen Victoria and it made perfect sense!!
I am not sure this is my mood today. Or that it would be something I want to ever smell like? But maybe I’ll keep it for days I feel like I have to be cold-blooded and lure at the same time.

Imagery: romeo and julet. being 15 but trying to be more grown up. hiding in a catholic chapel to meet a lover in secret. rose and cinnamon smell that, on me, turns into a powdery scent. there’s something so familiar about it that i can’t put my finger on, i think it almost smells of some incense i had when i was a 17 year old, this rose musky cinnamony smell. i really, really like it. it’s not very light, not heavy, just …distinct. it’s hard for me to separate this from the night i had – in an irish restaurant for valentine’s day, in a dark room with red candleholders alight. for some reason i keep getting romeo and juliet imagery, forbidden romance, soulful. i would buy this. i am writing reviews for each decant i try 🙂

I’m extremely cautious when it comes to rose scents but Creed’s Fleurs de Bulgarie goes beyond any rose fragrance I’ve ever come across. It is just beautiful, mysterious and uplifting all at the same time. I feel so feminine and elegant whenever I wear it and I get many compliments. The sillage is excellent and it lasts for hours. It is a special addition to my collection which I shall always treasure. It is the best rose I’ve ever experienced.
maral6565 – :
I am uncertain about what my chemistry is doing with this one……. I just tested this (86F) and all I smell is cinnamon. *blink* I had it down as a “love” before………not sure what’s wrong with my nose now. WAAAAAAAAAAA
fbl215InsuffBooni – :
I was just on a search for a rose fragrance and this doesn’t even come close to a soliflore; I smell candied orange blossom and other white & yellow flowers along with it..
It’s sweet, powdery, very romantic (especially after realizing it’s made for Queen Victoria) and very comfortable to wear. This fragrance matches Emily Blunt’s portrayal of The Young Victoria perfectly! Definitely better than any of Oliver Greed’s creation
*BTW it’s nowhere close to the citrusy tea-rose of Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare; I feel like people just voted for fun based on the name
megap1ka – :
The drydown is quite nice with creamy rose and musky ambergris, but it took about 2 hours to get there while the first couple of hours smelled of candied rose and freesia, which I did not enjoy. Finally though, after the long wait, this ended up being a really nice, classic scent, but it took too long to get there.
roma zabava – :
Is it possible this fragrance has been reformulated? I recieved a sample of this fragrance from a bottle at my local von maur, and the sample was the most beautiful rose soliflore I’ve ever smelled. It smelled like a fresh red rose with the stem, thorns, water and everything. Then the gorgeous ambergris came in softening the sharp edges and turning this scent into a gorgeous french milled soap confection. The drydown is what really enamored me, it was at once refined and slightly sweet but with a salty, animalic underpinning that made this perfume an exquisite combination of youthfulness and carnal seduction. Ive tried twice now to get a full bottle, but both times ive been foiled. The first time i thought i must’ve recieved a fake, because the scent was so synthetic, harsh and rubbery. The second time i went back to the store where i originally received the sample that lured me in, but the bottle i received from that store had the same harsh, synthetic scent of the previous bottle I’d assumed was fake. Does Creed ever reformulate their scents?
GKOEKRKOP – :
This is pretty much as much a straight Bulgarian rose soliflore that is really not particularly sweet and is very comparable to a lot of the Montale rose unisex rose perfumes, so there is certainly no reason that this one would not be an excellent rose soliflore for a man as well, as there is absolutely nothing particularly feminine about it. The bergamot is there but I’m not sure what it does and it me the musk must also do its job behind the scenes because to me it’s all about the Bulgarian rose that from the opening until well into the dry down. Then quite a while into the dry down the nice natural ambergris starts to emerge. It begins to be noticeable really close to the skin and then as it progresses it is noticeable further and further out from the skin until finally when the sun has set on the Bulgarian rose and it has faded away those of us who are ambergris lovers can savor the remains of the natural ambergris remaining that will be there to smell for quite some time. And yes, Creed does still use natural ambergris. I have actually confirmed this with the company, so it is fact, not speculation. To sum things up this is a great very neutral Bulgarian rose soliflore that works well for both women and men. It has a good degree of sillage and you will not need to freshen it up as it does easily last all day. It is a high quality Creed perfume and a great choice for anyone who wants a great classic Bulgarian rose.
palych999 – :
Hmm…I’ve been wanting to try this perfume for a few weeks, and I finally had a chance today. I don’t know how to quite describe this in words. While it’s not sharp or green kinda rose, it’s not sweet (olfactorily and figuratively) and pure kinda rose either. In fact, I think if you smell this expecting “rose” you may find something different than what you expected.
димитрий – :
Mmmmm….this perfume knocked my socks off.
To me, this evokes the image of a very elegant, worldly lady, with tightly laced petit coats and sheer lingerie underneath. The woman who wears this perfumes exudes a strong, quite confidence, she is poised, she knows what she wants and she is fearless in pursuing her desires. This scent is not for naive young girls who still question their place in this universe.
This perfume is a very musky, robust rose that has amazing sillage and longevity and which, interestingly, really has a lot of depth for so few notes. This perfume has the uncanny ability to transform and transport the wearer. I highly recommend this fragrance for when you want to feel exquisite, beautiful, sexy and powerful. You will get noticed with this scent.
dimas_9619 – :
A beautiful classic ambergris rose. This is a fresh aromatic ambery rose that lingers forever. It smells of very expensive rose soap , it smells of what a classy lady in the 40 s smelled like , it’s so utterly beautiful that a scent like such got carried into the presence and is still admired but many. Beats any modern perfume , it’s art of perfumery at its best.
I can’t see a young girl choosing this , but once you approach your 30 s you can pull this off , and wear it right into you 80 s , it’s a stunning classic , warm, fresh ambery rose !
IsormRodo – :
There are two different things FdB before and after reformulation. I had a bottle in 2004 and I bought it already again. Two different things. Now it’s more synthetic (like some reviews said). Before it was a masterpiece. It’s a pity that nowadays perfumery is killing the scents and good formulas
reuskiyxxx – :
The best rose fragrance I have ever sniffed… Elegant, rich, soapy, very persistent… The kind of perfume you can’t forget… Every time I wear it, I dream…
Wonderful!
OVambDumbDusy – :
I washed it after 1 hour. To me it is extremely soapy. It reminds me of walking in a store of old fashion hand made soaps. It is not a bad thing per se, but it is not what I wish I smell. It is marketed for woman but an older gentlemen would probably wear it better than a woman. It is very strong, very soapy. I still smell it after washing it.
I wear Vanisia for a period of time, I thought that Fleurs de Bulgarie would also be a winner for me but it is not.
It also reminds me of very old colognes that are still on the market: Roger et Gallet (extra Vieille made in 1806) and Acqua di Parma. Not that it is identical, but is also blended in and old fashion way.
I totally agree with AMH2
uxw322elipseskism – :
LOVE it. smells a bit deep and good for someone 30s and up. But im in early 20s and I wish I could wear this…perhaps in the winter or evening?
top note smells very similar to fantasia de fleurs, but base note smells better especially because of the musk. Fantasia de fleurs smell powdery and I dislike powdery scent.
Sad they only have 75ml…30ml lasts me quite long since i don’t wear perfume that often,and even if I did , I don’t like sticking to one perfume.
Maybe I’ll spray on my skin a couple times at the boutique and if I really like it will make a purchase
pelisoli – :
I am haunted by this magical
elegant Rosy dry down
and would love a bottle of this,
but can I have it with out the wild,loud,strange opening?
Yes -I want it
momfrelpVep – :
Dark red roses, rain, soil and night.
Pavlenko – :
Impresive fresh lemon roses softened with amber. Fleurs de Bulgarie is something special. Reading all reviews below someone could think that FdB is a sinthetic and boring smell, but I would say the thing is completely opposite. It’s fantastic, spirit-uplifting, very well balanced perfume. It’s something special, very “loud” but not havy. It smells “important”, “elegant” and “very sophisticated feminine”.
If you expected something sweet and cute rosy in this bottle, you were wrong. Due to havy sillage, you might find it agressive at the beggining, but later on when it settles down you should adore extremely well balanced elegance of Fleurs de Bulgarie.
I love this perfume, I keep it for a special occasions and for a special mood when I feel very confident. The longevity is unbelievable.
hunt2033 – :
It is a beautiful and mature perfume. But it didn’t beat my favorites roses which are, for now, the Annick Goutal’s Rose Esplendid and Rose Absolue.
This is more powdery and soapy than my favourites.
I think I’m going to make a quirky comparison, but I can’t avoid it: Yardley’s English Rose. Although the Lutens is much more refined, here it is the same musky rose of it’s poor cousin. That’s not a bad thing, because I like the English Rose very much.
However, unlike Yardley, Fleus de bulgarie has long-lasting and a big projection. Few drops and you are ready
Also notice that the Lutens is less acid, which, I believe, is due to quality of the roses.
mr.loneliness – :
To me this is definitely a soapy rose..! It opens up as this sophisticated royal rose but then mellows down to a clean soapy note! Its like when you meet this very elegant and sophisticated lady for the first time and later on find out that she is not what she seems. You discover that she is a very simple clean straightforward approachable person. Thats what Fleurs de Bulgari is.
Its not a bad scent at all, it’s just a very personal choice when it comes to this perfume. I feel it’s a good option for those who seek a clean, just showered soapy scent.
12368 – :
The best description that I can give to this fragrance is bizarre. Based upon the reviews here I purchased a bottle of this and expected a lovely rose fragrance.
I have other Bulgarian Rose fragrances that are mixed with Bergamot, including my signature scent.
Maybe this is too heavily weighted with Musk and Ambergris, but I can’t imagine how any woman finds this fragrance pleasing. I can’t believe that any woman would want to smell like this. I lasted 2 hours and had to scrub this one off, which took numerous washings.
Fragrance is certainly a subjective arena.
oleg.panasyuk – :
I fell in love! Delicate perfume for young princess. I feel like I’m in a fairy tale.
Juannaska – :
OVERALL RATING: *
Pros: powerful projection
Cons: synthetic, cloying, and harsh
I’m searching for a wearable masculine rose, and my research suggested that Creed’s Fleurs de Bulgarie would at least be worth a sample. I imagined it would be a crisp, light, air-puffed rose with underlying hints of green wood.
Instead, I found it to be harshly synthetic, similar to pine-sol or melting plastic. The rose note is there, and it is certainly powerful, but it is competing against something sharp and rather nauseating. Over-ripe gardenia, perhaps?
As with Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, I couldn’t get this off my skin fast enough. When a water and soap scrub in the men’s room didn’t work, I resorted to coffee. That only managed to make it angry, as the rose cleaning chemical smell fought through the French roast.
While Creed advertises this as a unisex fragrance, I’m hard pressed to imagine what sort of man would want to wear it. Not recommended.
SANCHO197800 – :
It IS a vintage smell but it’s totally wearable. It’s classic but not in a ‘your grandma’s powder puff’ way; floral but not in a roadside flower shop way (it’s more like a flower bouquet in a fine Victorian vase); clean but not in a soapy way; seductive but not in a flirty way; powerful but not in a overwhelming way.
Fleurs de Bulgarie is not a sweet and shy housewife. It is a confident career woman who takes control of both her work and personal life, a true lady. My mom is a professor in physics who spends more time with numbers more than family but whenever she wears this, I feel she is a real woman in every way. On her it lasts all day but on me only about 5 hours. The sillage is pretty good though.
finigndraisee – :
Ambergris should really be listed in the notes here, because it is a very noticeable aspect of this imperial fragrance, giving it a pleasant, pervasive soapiness and underpinning the grandeur of it’s style. Too grand for me – at least until many hours after application. The ambergris was still strong on the sleeve of my cardigan a week later!
kelfWeers – :
Love it!
cheap sports hats – :
At first it’s a bright, citrusy rose that quickly takes on some oily and soapy notes, then dries down to a soapy, slightly musky basic rose scent that stays pretty much linear. It’s strongly floral, but pleasant. Sillage is strong to moderate, and it lasts at least 10-12 hours on skin.
I’m not big on soliflore perfumes, so this doesn’t have a lot of appeal to me, but I feel more neutral about it than anything else. Nice enough, well made, but not really my style.
psa1974 – :
Totally agree with what melia said. It smells good, it doesn’t smell cheap…but for it’s price it as a touch of bathroom gel or salts or whatever that..meh…nice but not the excellence i am looking for in a 75ml bottle that retails for 170€…creed…a bit more effort please!
madfan26rus – :
Finally a perfume from Creed that impresses me in a very positive way. Actually I tested it by mistake, because I was planing to try Fleurissimo.
It was like a revelation! This perfume has the quality to inspire love. Smells like pure natural red roses only in the top notes, once it dries down, the ambergris and the musk predominate and animate beautiful the combination.
It`s a vintage smell, that could be easily worn with grace by someone who wants to be different and feel very feminine.
yalapin – :
To make things clear: to me creed fleurs de bulgarie definitely does not smell like cheap soap. How éver could it be with such high quality ingrediënts Creed uses? It doés have this bathroom touch though, but more like really expensive bath salt an aristocrat would poor in his or hers vintage bathtub with golden craines placed on a marmor floor. It’s a rose perfume, but blended in a way it’s a scent on it’s own. So don’t expect too much of a ‘true rose’. Do I appreciate it? Yes. Do I want to wear it? No, due to the bathsalt idea.
Bogdan kol – :
What Sassy1 said. I don’t think I get this scent at all or if it works well with my nose. To me it smells like cheap soap and rubbing alcohol.
Kostjan – :
Heavenly, perfect, feminine, long-lasting. The only floral perfume that my dry skin doesn’t swallow into oblivion. Citrusy-rose with a warm ambery-musk dry-down.Very light, clean and pleasant. Right now my favorite daytime perfume. Devoid of any harsh and synthetic-smelling notes. My three dogs don’t start to sneeze and run away when I go to greet them:)

fgfx – :
Gorgeous rosy fragrance with a subtle musk finish. Very feminine and romantic. However, it’s not nice enough to justify the high price, in my opinion.
vsqlpwvlhrl – :
It’s strange and powerful and outworldly…. like you’ve been poisoned by a thousand roses that draw blood from you with their thorns, and you escaped undigested from the guts of a whale…. you’re lying on a remote shore, the frozen water still caress your mangled body, you feel the rose poison and the ambergris with every sense that you have, and while the Sun is slowly warming you up you’re wondering how come that you’re still alive….
A unique experience, like an accident of giant proportions… if it doesn’t kill you , it makes you stronger!
An almost masochistic beauty, an assault to the senses
I bought this unsniffed, and while I cannot love it, I enjoy poisoning myself with this stuff sometimes….
it is simply roses and ambergris, but in such concentration to remain forever remembered. Other’s opinions may differ, but I lived to tell you mine!
roman_tim96 – :
I love roses and this is a truly beautiful representation. I did not find it especially retro or soapy, although it is certainly not modern a la Stella. I actually found that it developed with a little sparkle on my skin.
It does open with a brief and scary acetone aroma but this passes and Fleurs becomes so soft, pretty, pink and dare I say, a little tangy, from the bergamot (unlisted).
Fleurs holds up really well over its lifespan. While a lot of rose fragrances I have sampled tend to sour (a huge problem with wearing rose soliflores IMO), she seems to ‘dehydrate’ into the scent of real dried rose petals.
I would definately consider purchasing if I had not *just* brought a full bottle of Ce Soir ou Jamais which is my go-to for those rosy days.
мишкаиванич – :
The queen rose. Loved and hated by so many. Have you ever heard that you should not put Rose in vase with other flowers, because the rose would suck out all of the live from other flowers? The same thing is with this scent. All my sample drawer smelled like Fleurs de Bulgarie even before I opened the sample vial.
It starts with old school Bulgarian rose which I hate as I stated in many reviews already. But then it settles to a sparkly rose scent which is not old fashioned or “grandma” like at all. It is beautiful. Very, very classy and strong, the silage is killer. I bet if you over-apply people will run away in fear. Do I like it? Yes. Do I wish to have a full bottle – no. Why? Because it is way too strong and I’m not a rose fan.
But please ladies who are – do not be afraid of the fact that this is made in 19th century. After the first 10 minutes it is ultimate rose scent. Very, very daring. And remember about the stuff I said about rose and other flowers. The same with the lady. You do not wish to mess with a lady brave enough to cope with this scent in public and wear it bravely.
Irin1975 – :
Beautiful! But at first I wasn’t crazy about it, the first half hour was full of rather confused floral and woody notes competing for attention. Then the florals took over, and lasted all day. The rose stayed true for many hours, and I appreciated not having to top it up at all.
I happen to like vintage and Victoriana – lacy blouses, Edwardian petticoats, Art Nouveau jewelry – so the age of the perfume appeals to me. Makes many modern scents seem thin in comparison. Have small decant, would buy bottle if only I could afford it, but I suppose perfume of this quality has to cost a lot as it uses only the finest ingredients.
ment-bu – :
I really love Fleurs de Bulgarie in itself, not too much as a scent for me.
It’s impressive, massive, royal, somptuous and un-apologetic.
The first time I tested it years ago in a perfume shop I almost fainted! It smelled terribly strong and awfully stoke-like, like a thick brown broth with lots of meat and a rose of top. I went out of the shop and wanted to go to a toilet to brush it away.
After 30 minutes I smelt a beautiful trail in the air. I was in the street and thought that someone passed by and try to follow that smell! I walked for 10 minutes before realizing that I was following no one than myself! Tricky FdB!
I read somewhere that it was a favourite of Queen Victoria. I have no doubt it can be true. This is a very old school fragrance with all the perfection and intent of old school. A perfume meant for a great lady. I can understand how it may be perceived as old stuff these days, but it’s not really the case. It’s not a matter of perfume rather of people. At that time only rich and noble women used perfume. Nowadays almost everyone owns at least a bottle of some perfume bought or given (only my father is out of game), but most people look for a scent that might please theirselves and others around too, the kind of pop fragrance that pleases the crowd because they understand it.
I own a few samples of FdB, it smells good on my skin but when I wear it people clench their nose and I ask me if I’m wearing my granny’s heavy stuff. I swear my sweet grand-mother never even knew about FdB by Creed and for sure she was not aristocratic!
This is an animalic rich rose that lingers for hours , not a confortable cosy scent you wrap yourself in search of confort rather a scent that drives you to be bold and unique. Only not the right choice for anyone and anywhere.
Heingecimetet – :
Creed FLEURS DE BULGARIE is a beautiful rose composition from start to finish. The opening bears a family resemblance to BULGARI POUR FEMME, but FLEURS DE BULGARIE moves steadily ahead with roses dominating in the middle stage. Lots of sweet pink roses. The sweetness begins slowly to fade and the fragrance becomes progressively more soapy toward the drydown, which is very soapy, but it is still a rose-scented soap.
Overall, I find this trajectory worthwhile and not at all old-ladyish. But it is all about roses, and a rose is a rose. This is better to my nose than YSL PARIS, but since I already have a 4.2oz bottle of Guerlain ROSA MAGNIFICA, whch is also all about roses, I won’t be adding this Creed creation to my collection.
I like roses, but I do not love or feel very comfortable in single-note rose frags, yet I find the soapy drydown of FdB quite wearable. Still, if I had a bottle of this, it would probably sit next to my Guerlain, largely unused. I am thinking about mixing ROSA MAGNIFICA with a solid leather frag such as CUIR DE LANCOME, which could be a very nice combination, a la JOLIE MADAME, but with roses instead of violets.
—————————-
2014 update: after acquiring a bottle of this perfume, I fell in love with it. Nothing like Bvlgari pour Femme (what was I thinking?). Rose, musk, ambergris. Simply beautiful.

tambovulf – :
I got a sample of this one purely out of curiosity because it’s been around so long.
It smells just like a rose soap, which was probably very desirable back when no-one took baths but isn’t worth the Creed price in this day and age.
I would think that with all the advancements over the years they would be able to make this scent a little more interesting and complex while still using natural ingredients.
I can’t imagine there’s anyone out there who is really attached to the original smell. It needs to be updated and punched up a bit.
Update: I mixed this with some musk oil I had and it’s wonderful!!
Анастасия – :
I was zipping through Niemans when I spotted the Creed counter. I’ve never seen this line before, so had to check it out. the very first bottle I picked up was this one, and at first whiff I thought ‘Ooh! that’s Rose Barbare from Guerlain!’ Sure enough, Bulgarian Rose was front and center in the list of ingredients. I took a sample home, but unfortunately, the scent didn’t translate well from paper to skin. Rose Barbare holds its note, but this one goes on wiht a strong alcoholic blast and then settles down into something wearably warm and pleasant. Creed, in my mind, competes with parfums de Rosine and Nahema, i.e, other very good, high quality rose scents. A half hour into wearing this you’ll understand why it’s been around so long, as it is very unique in it’s beauty. Will it be a favorite rose of mine? Probably not, but I appreciate it’s complexity and may purchase a full bottle out of respect.
ares – :
Very very old school…this smells like it is 150 years old…i am sure it was cool back in the day but i am not sure too many people who smelled this on me would think i was wearing an expensive perfume made for a queen…they would probably think i smelled like i washed with some old fashioned soap…it’s not bad..it’s just…veeeeery vintage smelling….rose soap clean smell…dries down to an almost unisex soap smell.
oops40 – :
This is quite an impressive scent. It is so old, yet I think it can still be worn well today in small doses. The rose is regal and long-lasting. It really does seem like a fragrance fit for a queen!
boxing – :
This perfume is absolute Royalty in a bottle: rich, sharp, confident , classic, and very seductive. I would recommend wearing it for special occation as this perfume is very strong.
wwwcbkz – :
I absolutely adore the naughty, grownup rose in this scent. It is simplistic, to be sure-almost a soliflore. The ambergris (heard Creed uses the real stuff?) is an incredible carrier for what must be damascone rose-a little dirty in and of itself. I imagine, and hope, that the musk is synthetic. In any case, it is used judiciously. There is some bergamot in the top that carries the heavier notes, but does not affect the final demeanor of the perfume. Longevity is at least 12 hours, thanks to the excellent fixatives. The rose is true, natural, and develops in tune with your individual mood, the weather, the time of year….nothing any synthetic perfume can accomplish. This is a scent that has been successful for 150 years (original version created in 1845 for Queen Victoria), and with good reason.
lvov.e – :
I’m a Creed fan but this is a little to mature for my liking. The rose is too overwhelming for my taste.

Strong and flowery. Very classic smell. Too sharp for me, triggers a headace.
I you want a full-bodied strong rose, I would rather buy Anglomania from Vivienne Westwood.
