by Areej Le Doré
Flux de Fleur by Areej Le Dore is a bold, animalic floriental with a dense floral heart dominated by tuberose, jasmine, frangipani, and blue lotus. The opening features a fleeting grapefruit and olibanum, setting a brief but aromatic tone before sinking into a rich, syrupy core. The scent evolves with warmth from amber, woody undertones, and a deeply animalic base featuring castoreum, natural musk, benzoin, and tolu balsam. The fragrance carries strong sillage and a remarkably long longevity, with noticeable projection, making it impossible to wear unnoticed. While some find it over-sweet and cloying—especially when amber and lotus intermingle, creating a syrupy effect—others describe it as deeply addictive, transporting, and profoundly distinctive. The balance of white florals, amber, and musky animalic notes gives it a tropical, sensual atmosphere reminiscent of Gauguin’s paintings. The perfume appeals most to those drawn to intense, unapologetic floral-musky compositions and thrives in night wear and cooler seasons.
