Fleurs de Rocaille

Fleurs de Rocaille is a vintage-inspired aldehydic floral that evokes a refined, elegant, and somewhat nostalgic beauty. It opens with a bright, soapy-bubble aldehyde burst that feels both cool and radiant, like champagne bubbles on skin or fresh linen in sunlight. The core of the scent is a delicate, powdery bouquet of lilac, lily-of-the-valley, rose, and carnation, all blended with a subtle ylang-ylang and violet, giving it a soft, slightly romantic, and gentle complexity. The dry down reveals a warm, woody base of sandalwood, musk, and oak moss that grounds the floriental melody, creating a balance between airiness and depth. The scent develops slowly and intimately, often sitting close to the skin, leading to a worn-in, subtle, and personal presence. While some describe it as ethereal and timeless, others note it carries a sharp, soapy, or even metallic tang that can be intense initially—especially for those not fond of aldehydes. The longevity is moderate, with some reports of fading quickly, while others praise its lasting presence through the day. It is not overtly noticeable in a crowd, more a secret kept close to the heart.
