Yria

love this, so, so much more than i thought i would. makes you smell and feel incredibly clean, made my fiancé tackle me after putting it on. i've had the untouched bottle sitting on my vanity for years - should've tried it sooner. it does definitely feel a bit aged, something an older person would wear - but for certain fragrances like calèche, diamond emerald - i find myself charmed by the notes and i fall in love with it more. yria is a sexy aunt, glamorous. her age is graceful, clean, it makes me feel elegant and admittedly, a little bit sexy. the maturity adds an extra element of luxury. the longevity is great, lasts 4-6 hours without lotion or anything layered in my experience. the sandalwood and amber stand out the most to me personally, the slight musk once it dries down on the skin is just so incredibly nice to bask in. it's woody, sweet, clean, just checks every box for me. typically i dislike smells like this and aim for strong gourmands, but i feel amazing with this on.

Light, sweet nectar of flowers goes into watercolor-amber depths. At the same time, citrus-herbal peculiar top notes sit as if nailed and resemble cologne. This is a fougere-orient that can be worn both during the day and in the evening, in summer and winter, and generally whenever.

This was a gift but I really don't like this one.. It's giving old grandma, a very mature fragrance. It has a strong opening, after a hour it gets a bit more soft but I still don't like it. It's a very woody scent. The longevity is very disappointing as well.

This is one of my all time favourites. Reminds me of my 20's in a good way. I wore this to a bar back then. And I had a huge crush on a man who was 21 years older than me. This reminds me of him. (Unfortunately he died young😿😿🙏🙏) Too bad I can"t get this anymore, but I have 1 bottle left. ❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖

Woody and sweet, but the rose starts coming through a bit too much for me after a few minutes. I mostly get coriander and rose with hints of patchouli, jasmine, and gardenia. Has minimal sillage lasts about 3 hours.

This is one that I really wanted to like. It sparked my imagination to include angora, suede and silk as something warm & exotic enveloping me. I am very happy for the people who enjoy it and smells great on them. I am not one of them. With my chemistry it is similar to the inexpensive cologne that self-styled "ladies' men" over-do. Surprisingly, though, it is decent for scenting the dresser drawer as an unsprayed bottle as it is actually decent to my nose in minute doses. Want to like it but can't wear it.

I have a .25 miniature of this from around 2005, but some of the notes must have gone bad. For about 30 min this is really sharp and nasty but then a warm indistinct dry down occurs. I think this is why I've never been a vintage hunter. That first 30 minutes was awful. I'm just going to put back in my fragrance armoire and just say I have it. Shame, bc all those reviews made me want it.

Art Nouveau, peaches, tea and basil Yria is inspired by art nouveau. While this style is mostly applied to decorative arts, I think this perfume encapsulates pretty well the sensation of luxury that the visual effects of it give. A philosophy of tasteful luxury and of "too much of a good thing is great". This perfume is full of... ample "forms" and with no shortcuts kind of perfume. Far from minimalism, yet not bulked with details, it's a relaxation to go from note to note, it never gets tiresome. It is a bit similar to Allure, I can see the drift, but it's essentially diffrent, Allure is just a cold vanilla with the most modern peach you can think of mixed with a lot of magnolia. Yria has a "morning-fresh" vanilla, very warm ambery peach, realistic woody notes, more gardenia and way less magnolia. And Yria also has a lot of basil. A sheer delight, so much basil it makes it even more relaxing- like a spring time tennis afternoon- it also reminds me a bit of 4711. And because of the bergamot, though it's not the center- I can see the Earl Grey tea similarities. I also like the bottle, the the shape of it and the motives of the cap.

I had this in my mid 20's and I was always told it smelled so good. I got some off ebay recently and didn't regret it. This to me is a sexy goddess perfume without being too overly inviting.

A classic from YR. I have a miniature of this, which I got as a gift back in 2005. I did not use it, because I use to be too young back then, and it felt like a "mature" scent. For some reason, I kept it since then and rediscovered it lately. A beautiful amber, spicy, sweet vanilla, woody scent. What used to be a classic oriental fragrance back then. Warm and truly feminine. And time made it deeper and more intense. Especially the amber. If you are looking for an "old-school" oriental bargain, well balanced and intense, this is it!

Yria is a deep, smoldering, sweet and spicy floral. And from Yves Rocher of all places! It's actually one of the best Yves Rocher fragrances I've owned. What are supposedly base notes are more front and center for me. The amber, sandalwood, vanilla and so on, they're what this perfume is all about. In particular, the vanilla is spectacular after about a half hour of it settling in. It kind of reminds me of Dior Addict with the spice and the vanilla. It's like the dry down of an OG oriental vanilla like Shalimer but not too spicy. It has the scent of a much more expensive perfume. I love it. Even my Yria body creme still has some scent to it.

I just love this perfume! It's so sensual and comforting but fresh at the same time. Not a laster but I grabbed a bargain so I'm not complaining :)

A warm, rich and elegant fragrance that works best during the cold seasons imo (autumn/winter). It's the kind of perfume I imagined the ladies of Downton Abbey were wearing whenever they dressed up for parties/dinners.

very fruity and juicy in the top with mandarin orange, coriander, magnolia, LOTV, sandalwood right off the bat; some amber and patch in the base but this still is a juicy floral, not a spicy floriental

a very feminine, pleasant amber. might call it sensual too, very unlikely to offend anyone. it does not seem to have much depth but it is a relatively good offering given the price/value ratio. On me this is barely a skin-scent after an hour and doubt it had much sillage before that. anyhow, if you don't mind re-applying that it might be your thing.

I found a bottle of this on a flea market at 7 euros only, so I just bought it on an impulse, after briefly taking a glance at the good reviews in here. Elegant, feminine, nice cold season daytime (why not also evening) fragrance. I like it and sometimes wear it for the office, but I don't like the longevity which is quite poor. Another bad thing for me personally is its warmth; even though the scent is nice and pretty, I have a slight feeling I'm wearing someone else's clothes when I wear this. Pretty and stylish clothes, just not mine. Good overall scent for someone who likes elegant, feminine and warm fragrances and does not mind to reapply during the day.

One of the most elegant perfumes of the house of Yves Rocher. It is not a "jeans-and-tshirt"-type of scent, but prefers a classical outfit and a more formal setting. I like it a lot. It is a safe choice for office if sprayed sparingly, and could easily become my signature for work in autumn and winter. I would describe Yria as an oriental and warm fragrance, with patchouli, vanilla and amber. A perfume for a confident woman who doesn't take too much space, never fails on the formal or social codes and takes good care of herself. It doesn't claim attention, but rather quiet admiration. A bit too safe to be used for raw seduction maybe, but that's just fine. Luckily I got a back up bottle just right before the online store completely stopped selling it.

Fragrance Review For Yria By Yves Rocher Top Notes Coriander Mandarin Orange Bergamot Middle Notes Magnolia Gardenia Jasmine Lily of the Valley Rose Base Notes Sandalwood Tonka Amber Patchouli Vanilla A beautifully composed aroma of fragrant white flowers, fresh citrus, heady sandalwood, a patchouli herb and powdery vanilla. This was released back in 2001 and I remember smelling it on a girlfriend of mine. This is all about those white flowers: gardenia, magnolia, jasmine and lily of the valley. They are all here and it could have passed for Fracas but it's softer and more youthful. I love the white flowers in this scent. Smells like a little garden filled with only white flowers. The patchouli is not too strong and the vanilla dominates the dry down. Gorgeous. A spring time floral fragrance.

I am not a huge fan of white flowers, amber or citrus but since I tried the mini perfume of Yria back in 2009, It got stuck in my head to smell it again. I wore it a few times on snowy winter days in Sweden at that time and I even did not like it much and gave the bottle away.(My review is still here). But I kept thinking about it, I really could not forget Yria. but It seemed that it was really non existent and wherever I searched I did not find it, Until last year that I went to a Yves rocher store to buy some lotions and I randomly looked at the perfume bottles there, different versions of Evidence, Flower party and some new releases were available. The shop keeper noticed that I stared at the perfumes and he brought me some stuff and suggested a perfume. Then by chance I saw the dark red cap of Yria behind everything and told him I want that perfume behind! He said that it is not full it has only 5-10 ml left in it and it is not for sale, and since it is discontinued they don't bring it anymore.He also said it is old fashioned and for my age it would be better to buy sth else. Then I told him that I am in to classic perfumes and I want only that half full bottle and finally after insisting I bought it! It was my birthday and Yria was the best gift that I received that day.I still have the bottle and have kept it like a treasure. People this stuff is so good, warm, powdery, very soft and feminine but still powerful, It is timeless and unique and classy at the same time. I am not sure if it is really discontinued? :( but if you find it somewhere keep it for winter and autumn. A few of my friends told me that it is old fashioned but I don't care I am in love with Yria.To my nose this stuff is a masterpiece, the aroma of the femininity.

This is wonderful! Floral, Smoky, spicy! Smooth, first and foremost, with an amazing intensity and sillage. Rose is prominent at first, fresh and dewy, then spice comes into the play and the dry down is a fresh and floral citrucy affair second to none! Delicious! This is ideal for those who like Orientals but are sceptical about using them for Summer. Great for a hotter weather and strong humidity. Pretty much Unisex, and for all seasons, but great for hot weather. Amazing scent. So glad to own it! A keeper!

I used to have this perfume and let me say that this perfume was my favorite is a good perfume and has good sillage people would always compliment me! I used to use it at cold nights I dont think is a day perfume. I think I will get it again just because I love it <3

This is soooo warm and inviting. Stays close to the skin but longevity is great, I got about 8 hours out of 2 sprays.

This most be Yves Rocher's most sold perfume. I Think every woman that I know have or used to have this scent haha. I do have it myself as well :) Classic one.

I have just tried this fragrance and I could smell orange, and I am glad others have too. The scent definitely settles into a floral middle note. I have discovered that a Sandalwood dry down is what definitely appeals to me in a fragrance. Twenty years ago I probably would have hated the smell of this perfume but I am now heading towards the latter end of the thirties and now this is the very fragrance I am leaning towards now. My first eau de toilette was a Mimosa fragrance that Yves Rocher used to do but not any more, sadly. I am a new frangrantician but I do love perfume. My next perfumes I am expecting are Anna Sui, La Nuit de Boheme, I am going to order Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf, and I need to replace L'ancome's Tresor. Can anyone give me more recommendations?

I really really really live it. It brings me so much memories.. Everytime I wear it it takes me Back to the days. Even though life is far better Now, it's sometimes fun to take a spritz of this And enjoy :) I rarely like spicy/oriental/yellow perfumes but this is AWESOME <3 Love it!

This was my very first perfume I ever owned and I still use it as of today. Very warm and elegant. This is wonderful for a night out dancing or an outdoor get together. The amber and sandalwood really shines through in this little gem. Very sophisticated and timeless.

I came here just to say that Yria remind me of Allure by Chanel, and I found that others say that too. I was wearing it tonight and noticed that. I love it, even with that "copy cat" air . The bottle,oh, masterpiece, nothing like it in moderns, remindes me of old Paul Poire perfume bottles, kind of Art Deco style...

Gorgeous bottle... it's like a poem itself. You have to touch it, admire its shapes in different lights. The scent can be some day a bit too mature (and, dare to admit, common in the opening). Close to the skin, round, more like an intimate scent. I can feel its creamy quality after the first hour and also i can say it does smell different applied on the clothes. Like any other perfumes i have, one spray goes on the back of my head; the hair, especially freshly washed, has this quality of keeping the scent longer. Yria, you are a lady.

Very pretty deep smell. At first thought, hey it reminds me of Amber Elixir from Oriflame but a few minutes after it has gone completely different, so much pure coriander and fresh mandarin and much more expensive and long lasting. Yves Rocher definitely the first in my list and am proud of their assortiment of excellent products. Nothing stays at the same level as some of Yves Rocher perfumes.

Lovely soft oriental, full of grown-up zest for life. Very feminine and alluring, though in a close-to-the-skin way. Very French and classic, suitable for those who enjoy good things that do not change quickly, nor loose their charm.
