Couldn't agree with you more as to the changeaholic phase we seem to be going thu -- it's change for the sake of change, I think...

It's one of those lines for me that I have a huge respect for but cannot wear. But now I really want to try Lady Caron. Donna, thank you for such an insightful post on Carons!

You sum it up so well here. As someone who’s something of a changeaholic, I know when to best leave alone as well. You sum it up so well here.

I am a total Caron fan, and I expect you will get some more Caron reviews from me in the future. I really do not think they make a fragrance I don't like, ranging from the perfect and pure Muguet de Bonheur to the famous (or infamous) men's leather-and-lust Yatagan. Can't get enough! AngelsS, thank you for pointing that out about the OsMoz site. I truly did not notice that they only had the "Fleur" one - I checked several other places to get a compilation of what is in it. The one I have is the "Fleurs" with an "s" -I guess the other one would be considered a reformulation and not a "version" , but the old one is still around too. It is just a little harder to find. rosarita, I totally agree! Now that I have so many MORE things I want to try, I must start getting decants, or else I will have to get three jobs to pay for all the full bottles, or go without - which is unthinkable! :-) Judith, I love those too - Tabac Blond is divine and I adore Poivre - so different, austere and elegant. And don't even get me started on Narcisse Noir... Elle, I hope you try it soon, you won't regret it. Marina, I knew there was a reason I liked you! ;-) greeneyes, I really do love the ones that feel like classics, even if they only came out last year! It's all about the quality that goes into it. Thank you minette - now I must see if I can find some Farouche to try again! Lady Caron could easily be mistaken for a decades-old classic if you did not know it was only seven years old this year. I hope it stays around at least until I am an old lady. It is an ageless scent, and can be worn by any woman of any age who appreciates it. It's also one of the very few perfumes that really is a "feminine" - I would not want a man to wear it! Thanks everyone!

They also have the Fleur--and the not Fleurs--bottle shown.

Although I'm still relatively new to the perfume world, I find I tend to love classic perfumes or at least perfumes with a classic feel. I think that's why I love the FM line so much. I have Fleur de Rocaille on a list to buy. You may just push me over the edge.! Donna, what a wonderful review!

I am going to find my sample of Lady Caron now and re-acquaint myself with it. ( I am not a big fan of change for its own sake either. Heck, I even resist change when change is actually needed. :-) ) Great reviews, Donna! I am going to find my sample of Lady Caron now and re-acquaint myself with it.

I, too, love Caron, though I am partial to some of the heavier creations--Tabac Blond, French CanCan, and the more recent Poivre. But I agree that the original Fleurs de Rocaille is lovely. Surprisingly, I have never tried Lady Caron. Must do. Thank you so much for your lovely piece, Donna.
