Sexual Fleur
by Michel Germain
Sexual Fleur is a gourmand floral with a sweet caramel core, softened by nutty and woody notes, creating a wearable, feminine scent that feels both youthful and mature. It opens with a bright citrus and walnut freshness, evolves into a rich blend of egyptian jasmine and frangipani, and settles into a warm, slightly musky base with caramel and woody notes. The fragrance balances sweetness without tipping into cloying or synthetic territory, making it feel refined and natural, especially compared to earlier entries in the Sexual line. It wears best in spring and summer, with moderate sillage and longevity that suits daytime wear, though the scent fades relatively quickly after a few hours. Many find it reminiscent of a celebratory, carefree moment—like a sweet treat at a carnival or a boutique in a big city. Its charm lies in its individuality, where sweet and floral meet in a balanced way that feels distinct from typical floral gourmands.
Pros
- +The fragrance strikes a balance between sweet and floral without being overly synthetic or childish
- +The base notes of woody and musky depth lend complexity and prevent the scent from feeling flat or generic
- +Wears well in spring and summer with a moderate sillage that's appropriate for daytime and casual settings
Cons
- −Longevity is moderate, lasting only a few hours and may require reapplication
- −It may feel too heavily feminine for some male or unisex wearers, and the sillage is not strong enough for a bold presence
- −Some users found the scent initially overpowering or medicinal, linking it to mistaken associations with Brut cologne or mint tea
