The almonds on this make me feel sick. I really want to like it as i got a set as a present, with shower gel and body lotion. But even the lotion makes me feel queasy. This made me think I could not wear perfumes with almods, but I do love Tardes which is heavy on almonds. So I just think Fruit de Noel has very synthetic almods, too sweet and sickly.

This one would be a winner if it had any longevity. But I do love it. Good for a spray before bed.

At the first spritz, I can notice the orange and citrus notes. That quickly fades into something creamy and sweet which I guess is the almonds, but seems like something else.
I found this description of the fragrance on the Yves Rocher website:
“The Marvelous Fruit from the enchanted tree is filled with the delicate milky notes of Almond and Vanilla combined with the sparkling scent of Orange. A delicious, cheerful scent, perfect for the holidays.
Sparkling and fresh fruity notes, followed by the delicate and comforting notes of almonds on a base of vanilla.
Surround yourself with a scent inspired by a marvelous fruit, sparkling with happiness and the subtle sweetness of harmony.”
This description says there are vanilla notes [which Fragrantica doesn’t note], so I think this is part of the creamy/almond scent I smell after the citus fades.
Overall, I think if you like warm/vanilla/cake/almond/cozy scents, then you will like this. If you are looking for citrus, then this is not the one for you.
Longevity note:
Although the citrus notes fade within the first 5-10 minutes, the “creamy” scent lasts for hours.

i have to agree.. no lasting power at all… it would not be a bad fragrance if it had ANY lasting power… i think it is more “christmas” than the fleur de noel 2011, but even the bodylotion does smell like nothin’.. hmmm.. i think i will only use it as a room spray (i also have the christmas room spray from yves rocher and even the room spray is more intense.. they should have done that one as a perfume^^)… so all in all the smell is not bad but even if this one is not expensive it is not really worth the money, because it is gone after a few seconds 🙁
