You can still purchase it on eBay, but I’ve seen the perfume bottle in different colored base, is there a difference? Thanks!

Based on the reviews here, I ordered this for my 15 year old niece as a present for her upcoming birthday.
It just arrived today, and, of course, I HAD to spray it once to smell it myself (with a bit of fear that I would like it and get greedy about it).
I do like this, but it is also quite odd to my nose.
The honest truth is that this smells like straight up nail polish remover! At least up front. And 30 minutes later, it still smells that way on the spot of fabric where I sprayed.
When I BLOCK the idea of nail polish remover from my mind, I get a nice, clean, NEW MAGAZINE fragrance from it.
It smells bright… and like… NEW STUFF… for a teenage girl. That exciting NEW “girl stuff”… the feeling you used to get as a teenager when you got a new magazine at a shop, or the mall, new makeup, or a new super cute outfit.
I am not getting “candy” from this.
Well, I take that back, I just picked up a strong whiff of watermelon jolly rancher upon sniffing again.
Its light, fun, flirty, refreshing… I dont smell any vanilla or praline, but it’s not on my skin, and it will likely unfold differently on skin rather than on fabric.
I hope she likes it.
UPDATE: Almost a year later, and I finally got myself a bottle of this because it haunted me for months after i got it for my niece. I guess I had to have it.
Now, after wearing it daily, I still see exactly the same thing I described above, but its not TEEN AGE anymore to me.
Its … for sure…innocent and clean and … simply lovely. I find it to be quite unique and never overpowering. A gentle … yet… energetic… HApPY… lift.
I love this one. Really simple… when you want to just smell GOOD. Uncomplicated, classy.
Joyful.

It’s a happy sweet candy-like summer fragrance to me. i like it very much, as I do all Ted Lapidus frags. I had to part with the Fantasme because DH hated it but otherwise I am able to keep the other ones:) They are all different, I would say the Creation that I have is a soapy sophisticated 1980s-type and Fou d’Elle is the opposite, light and playful young scent. I enjoy it every time and the staying power is pretty good. I got it in a swap, don’t remember from whom anymore, but thank you, whoever you are:) Since I have lots of frags now in my collection and like to give a chance to all of them I don’t wear this one very often but it is a pleasure every time. Happiness and sunshine and lollipops in a bottle.

I first bought this duty-free coming home from West Africa 15 years ago. It reminds me of wafting through the airport and the scent staying on my scarf. I keep buying it because it is a useful part of my perfume wardrobe.
This may be a tricky fragrance for some because it has fruity, vanilla/gourmand, green notes and floral notes. The EDP smells great on me, but sometimes I have to give it a rest. It is a bit strong and reminds me structurally a bit of Tresor, not that it smells the same. However, it does share the peach, floral, vanilla and woods. Tresor has a nose “tickle” and powder note that Fou d’elle does not have. Fou d’elle smells like a cozier vanilla floral, like something you would want to smell on a sweater. The projection is medium, but I can smell this on me at close range all day.
I do like it, but almost wish it were a candle or a home-type fragrance. When I use it I appreciate it from time to time, but it isn’t my signature.
Update: I spray this with Jessica Simpson’s Fancy Nights. They balance each other out very well and create a staying power that won’t quit.

If ever there could be bliss in a bottle, this would have to be the scent of bliss! I do love this frag.
I purchased a BIG bottle (blindly) for an excellent price, figuring if didn’t like it I could decant it or even sell it, but it has become a part of my collection.
This is the tame, more refined sister to my Chloe Narcisse-not so forward or overwhelming, much more demure and composed. The top notes I get from this are very much floral and bright-jasmine and freesia sweet and mellow. I have always like freesia, but in this mix it’s not so “Honeyed” and thick, as freesia can be. This is a breezy, easy frag to wear. As it dries down I get the woody part of it, a very soft, wispy cedar scent-not a masculine cedar, though. The vanilla tends to warm it on my skin to a nice clean and soft powdery smell…I love that in a frag.
Fou d’elle (Crazy about her, in French) is something to flip for, definitely. I will make sure that I always have it in my collection from here on…I have the EDT, but will next purchase an EDP if available. Main reason for that is sillage…the sillage on this is spotty. It does last all day (an 8 hour workday and then some…) but I only catch it occassionaly wafting through my cubicle. No one smelled it unless I asked them to sniff me, which, quite frankly is weird so I don’t do that. I do love the smell of it though, I just don’t like that I am not able to share the bliss with others…the world needs more bliss.
I highly recommend this frag if you like things that make you smile and feel lighter. This frag will do that for you. I am crazy for Fou D’Elle!

Ok, so about 200 bottles of different perfumes later, there is still something about this fragrance that always puts me in a good mood, some kind of warm comfort and an element of addiction. I am not into buying backup bottles, but I actually bought another large bottle before I even used up my 1 oz.
medivini – :
Olga, thank you so much for reviewing this one! I’ll try to obtain a bottle for myself too now that I read your opinion on it!
THANX!!

As a perfume addict,I wanted to enrich my collection in buying Fou d’elle.I was amazed by the packaging and the ludicrous bottle,but the fragrance itself let me down.I couldn’t distinct any note of this “juice”,neither praline,nor freesia,nothing at all.

I finally got it. I bought 1 oz bottle to be on the safe side, because i didnt’t know what to expect.But this fragrance exceeded all my expectations. It comes out of the bottle really sharp, but settles almost right away ito a warm, refined and sexy scent. Yes, it is sweet, but in now way sticky sweet or cloying. I am not familiar with Nilang, but the closest thing i can compare it to is Narcisse by Chloe, but much more wearable.
It is more suitable forcolder weather, but I would say it can be worn in spring too. And the bottle is so gorgeous.
I really think this perfume is a beatiful creation, definitely full bottle worthy to me, after I run out. I am really in heaven….Can’t stop sniffing my wrists.
When I occasionally discover something like this, and for so inexpensive, It makes me wonder if all those trendy perfumes we pay crazy money for, are really worth the price tag.

I am about to purchse it, and will post my review as soon as i get it. It was created by the same nose who created Nilang, so it very well may be similar.

This perfume does seem to share some notes with Nilang from Lalique (Thank YOU very much Kastehelmi for THAT one!!). I should try it, because I love Nilang!!

Cheap smelling sticky juice. It’s inexpensive so I bought it without much thought. Now I regret this decision. Better to save your pennies and buy something tasty.
