Quelques Notes d’Amour

I had it years ago, but I still remember the scent very well. The rose combination that is more mature, I felt that I was smelling like a woman, not like a girl anymore. Most of the time I was finding this scent somehow comforting, and I would wear it all the time, but I had days when it was giving me a headache. When I think about it now, I would say that it’s an affordable offer with the rose scent that doesn’t smell extra sweet, that has some spice, and more depth, longevity and silage, but it can be too much for some.

i remember my mum dousing me in this perfume before sending me to primary school every morning lol

Szania nailed it. This could be a release from Elizabeth & James. Snug velvet pants & a tshirt. Barefoot to Beckham. The bottle, just ducking the limelight perhaps. Found still in plastic, two bottles, a shoebox full of Yves Rocher, $5 each bottle. F yeah. I opened this, sprayed twice and tucked in the back, 6+mbths. Smoother & more shadowy. 9/10, that Avon-esque bottle lol

This is the fragrance Angelina Jolie would wear. Rose, Amyris,patchouli combination. Sophisticated and irresistible. Intoxicating in the most elegant and refined way. Smells niche and the sillage is to die for.

No disrespect to its lovers out there but instead of Moment de Bonheur this should've got discontinued. I can go to the drugstore and the first offbrand fragrance in a dark bottle I touch would smell like this. A very generic but pleasant evening/cold weather fragrance.

I honestly don't usually love Yves Rocher fragrances, but this one is really nice. A romantic, syrupy rose and balsamic woods. Good value for it's price, I found it long lasting with a decent sillage! However....the new bottle is just so unimaginably ugly. The typography is tasteless and does not fit the scent at all....such a downgrade from the simple and elegant original bottle.

I'm not sure what to think of this perfume. It's not my favorite, but I can't get enough of it. I like to keep it on my shelf. I like to smell it when it gets under my hand. It's not a scent I would turn to often, but there is something unique about it that makes it dear to my heart. What I especially like about it: its rose scent. Because here's the thing, it's not a fresh rose at all, as often found in fresh floral perfumes, but rather a rose syrup concentrate (Damask Rose in particular, which I would recognize among a thousand), and I want to point out that rose syrup juice is my favorite summer drink, and has been since I was a child! This perfume is really a concentrate of love notes, and its name fits it like a glove <3 This scent also has a lot of character, with its resinous amber accord, lightly spiced with pink pepper. Very VERY different from the perfumes of these days, but not vintage at all! Really, a unique fragrance! And it got me soooo many compliments! So why isn't this my favorite? Surprisingly enough, in this perfume, sometimes it's the rose that is dominant (which I love) but sometimes it's the woody resinous notes that take over (which I like less). My nose plays tricks on me, but I don't mind, I never get bored with this perfume :-) Longevity: Very good. Projection: Medium. Bottle: TOO beautiful, I love it with its little heart!! and I HATE the new ugly bottle released in 2021 :( But at least, the scent is still exactly the same and not watered down! A 8.5/10 for this perfume!

It is good perfume but the rose in this scent is really gives arabic rose vibes for me and I really hate getting arabic rose smelling. So it is not my type of scent. But apart from that this scent is elegant and has a nice aroma. It is soft - sweet scent. But it is not an exciting fragrence for me so I don't buy bottle and as for the longevity I sprayed on my wrist on the Yves Rocher store and after I'm finishing 1 hour yoga class it was gone...

What a throwback, i stole this from my mother when i was younger, she never found out because she never used it. but wow i totally forgot how beautiful this fragrance is. It smells expensive, woody and rosy.from reading the other reviews it seems it has been reformulated. i'm going to find an old bottle of this and cherish it ahahahha

smells so expensive and rich.so elegant that i can't wear it bc i don't wanna finish the bottle lol.floral and elegant.i think this is a springtime scent.

For me, this sits nicely in the space between commercial and niche perfumes — it’s very approachable and relatively simple to my nose, yet in no way cheap or synthetic. I like wearing this at any time of the day, when I simply want to smell comforting to myself and not give too much thought to mood and weather and the like. Reminds me of my mom somehow. Unlike most of my other frags, this also does remarkably well on sillage and longevity in the humid climes of Singapore.

I was given this EDT about 5 years ago, but I didn't like it then because I found it too heavy for my taste, and I normally dislike pink pepper notes, so it was a no for me. I kept it in a wardrobe in its original box. I opened it two days ago, expecting it to have turned or smell horribly, and I was pleasantly surprised that it hadn't turned or gone rancid. And this time I've appreciated this scent more, maybe because I have matured. The benzoin makes it smell vanillic, which is one of my absolutely favourite notes. It starts a bit as a heavy woody floral and then mellows out to a warm sweet woody aroma. My only issue with this fragance is its poor projection and duration. After two hours I can barely smell anything on my skin. Shame.

I like this very much, I prefer a sweet scent in the cold weather. I think it smells more expensive than it really is, and it stays on for a long time.

I love woody perfume. This one is very good and it stays a long time :)

I’ve had a sample bottle of this in my drawer for years, think I got it in a beauty subscription box at some point. I was pulling it out for a look today (as you do) and the top wasn’t on properly and it spilled all over my hand and iPad that was in my lap. And wow, I was expecting to have to clear up a stinky mess, but it was just… beautiful. Then I’ve looked up the ingredients, and it has my favourite combo or bergamot, rose and patchouli. Yes mainstream, and popular, but so what? It smells nice! The other notes add a bit of pepperiness and spice, but it’s a lovely, floral creamy, patchouli delight of a fragrance. I can still smell it on my hands after rinsing, and this was spilled hours ago. I used a cloth bag I had handy to wipe it off my ipad, so I’ll see how it’s faired on that tomorrow. Isn’t it nice to get a nice surprise from an old perfume?! Edit - next day my skin still smells pretty, but it’s faint. Still a nice strong smell on the cloth bag though!

It smells like paracetamol oral suspension for children at the opening notes. When it dries, it gives a super powdery and rancidity scent. It makes me dizzy. Not for me. Perhaps these reasons are because I live in a country near the equator.

I quess this is ok to most of women but not for me. Simply because it reminds me a little of Still by Jennifer Lopez. Pepper is the scent about this I don't like. It's definitely not overwhelming but too much for me.

I got a mini about 5 years ago and then I smelled a gorgeous rich rose scent - loved it. However, now it has changed and more spicy, woody, rather raspberry, for mature women. It's not love, but I like the way it smells on clothes. I never tried it on my skin.

Lovely romantic powdery rose and woods. Compliment getter with good longevity and projection at a good price

First of all it doesn't have any similarities with the so élixir to my nose. yes it does smell rose but in a heavy dirty way not like in the Chloé way. the previous review is about a sweet smell. i dont find it sweet at all. it's a grown up smell but not for me. it's too heavy and headache inducing and nauseating to me. Very harsh, powdery, agressive and intoxicating. i can't stand someone near to wear this perfume. i bought it in 2015 at it's beginning and still have it. Maybe i can wear it one day even if it's not even friendship for yet. Even in my mind i can't tell what kind of person could wear it. It's sure it's a self confident smell but not sexy. Maybe a boss that shows no emotion to keep self control. it's name is about romantic love but i don't find love anywhere even not friendship!! My nose is very sensitive. The ones Who like oudy cents will like it. thanks for reading

Sweet fruity rose. Very tender, much more sugary than expected reading the reviews, but nowadays we’re bathed in caramelized notes so the noses have got used to a continuous maltol cloud. Back to the parfume. It’s not complicated : a motherly rose, some candied fructose, and the dry woody patch to hold them together. And it works, very well indeed. It’s kind, it’s nice, no dark shadows, no twisted mind. I like those « Few love notes » just like I enjoy the little clear pleasures of life.

This should be on the list of the best pure rose oil perfumes. Rose oil, directly pressed from the most fragrant Bulgarian roses you can think of. A tiny bit spicy and powdery to my nose, without being incense-y or oud-y. This is Bulgarian rose essence (jam), with some patchouli oil (oil = thick and concentrated), a dose of classic, granny powder + some pepper (red or green? or is it chillies?). The base is rose jam 100%. If you ever sniffed pure rose oil - that's it. No incense, no amber, at least not to me. Just rose oil and powder, with a hint of 'heat'. It is a bit suffocating and strong, enourmous longevity and power. It would overpower pretty much anything less potent than Armani Si, Alien, etc. If you sniff the bottle nozzle directly you may get some hint of pencil shavings. I think that's because of the very natural-like rose extract. That's the only 'woody' aspect I can think of, and either way it stays with the bottle, does not transfer onto the skin/where sprayed. The quality is impressive from a relatively inexpensive brand, and this fragrance is quite popular in Europe. Not to La Vie Est Belle levels, but still, I have friends who love this and wear it everywhere, including at the office. It dries down to the typical, 'cold' rose note, powdery and delicate, baby powder with fresh dew accords. Inoffensive if you ask me, for rose lovers. Quite jammy throughout the day, so watch out for that if you aren't exactly a fan. I've had a 30 ml/ 1.01 fl oz bottle since forever, as two sprays are more than enough throughout an entire day. Beautiful, very French, simple and cute bottle, reminiscent of something you'd find on the vanity of a university student. It is nothing opulent or complex, yet beautifully simple- the thick cap base gives it an elegant touch. Have been using this for years, and will continue repurchasing it. I'm surprised it hasn't made a comeback / become popular, considering the rose wave currently ridden by most of us.

The same bug spray like in the past Rose absolue was from YR..the same suffocating rose and patchouli..Sounds rude and occurs headache. Also somehow reminds "So Elixir" also from Yves-Rocher, which I cant stand either for its harshness. It is long-lasting...suffocating longevity, which I hardly tolerate. Had to start using it as air refresher (for some argent cases). But even for the toilet its too harsh..have to escape very fast for to do not breath with that ... notes d amour?! LOL My husband told me also that its very heavy scent, not for the ladies, there is no delicacy in it. It is somehow a very dry, dirty rose, prevalent wooden notes and patchouli here kill femininity completely. Somehow, especially the recent years I cant use YR perfumes. I liked "Cocon", "Nature"edp, "Ming Shu" from YR..where are they??

The price range of the entire Yves perfume line is very affordable and the quality is comparable to luxurious perfumes.

I put the beastly Goldea on one arm and Quelques Notes on the other arm in the sticky summer heat. Goldea went “poof” but the sweet resin of Quelques Notes lingered. I think you can pull this off in summer. Update: Now I am getting sparkly lime or bergamot in addition to pepper, rose, patchouli and sugar, with a warm benzoin base. It’s a surprisingly uplifting scent I have so far enjoyed in spring and summer.

Despite its modest exterior, Quelques Notes d'Amour has become a surprise hit in my wardrobe since I bought it a couple of years ago. What you smell in the opening is more or less what you smell through the life of the fragrance: a charming, dreamy candied rose with faintly vanillic, woody undertones. I personally do not find the rose to be overly realistic, nor is it overly fresh. It's not dark, either; I don't detect much guaiac wood, if any, or any dirty, aggressive patchouli. It's a sweet, easygoing rose jam that is very easy to wear; in fact, it's probably the closest thing I have to a "dumb reach." If you truly despise rose in all its forms, then you may not like this, but I suspect that the sugary, fruity aspects of Quelques Notes d'Amour could charm many a rose-hating heart. I love this fragrance in nearly every type of weather, except for maybe high summer heat. It lasts all day on me with moderate projection. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a versatile fragrance that lends a touch of romance to the everyday.

I realize why the opening of Quelques Notes delights me so. It’s the comfort of childhood treats. Toaster Strudel hot from the oven, or a fresh baked raspberry filled glazed donut from Krispy Kreme. So far, it’s the perfect jammy rose I’ve been looking for.

One user compared this scent to the “new” Miss Dior (2017). I find MD ‘17 to be more of a juicy orange blast with rose and patchouli. Quelques Notes has the rose and patch but more spice and less citrus. Overall impression is of a candied, spicy rose with woody undertones. Structurally similar to Iris d’Or by Bulgari, it is a strong (yet not screechy) floral sweetness with a creamy, woody base. Sugar and spice. She doesn’t need to try too hard. This one is really growing on me and leaves a lovely trail.

Sweet and warm woody rose scent. Not dark. The rose here is a moist and dewy red rose that’s abit fruity and peppery (maybe a touch sour in the beginning). Reminds me of rose used in Arabic perfumes. If you’re not a fan of rose, definitely stay away. Some people complain about the scent smelling synthetic, but I don’t think it smells any more synthetic than the average designer scent that costs more money. It is harsh upon spraying, but calms down in a few minutes. The base is quite similar to So Elixir...woody, balmy, sweet, and warm. Gets abit powdery and soft in the drydown and less rosy. This scent is feminine, elegant, versatile and good for all ages. I feel like this could be a Burberry, so if you tend to enjoy fragrances by that house, this has the same cozy-elegance, slightly reserved, girl-next-door vibe. Good quality for the price. Not too distinctive or unique, but it’s very pleasant. Low sillage with 3 sprays (maybe this is climate dependent, but it’s a cool, dry winter when I am currently). I imagine you can do 10-12 sprays and it would fill a room in a beautiful way and not be offensive. Very good longevity, and I can actually smell the little scent cloud I’m in for hours after spraying. I have to say, I am enjoying this one. I’d wear it all year round (except hot days), and it will work well in many different settings.

I get a minty rose scent. I used to underestimate yves rocher fragrances. To my suprise i found myself longing for it. It can easily be a high end niche perfume.
