Regime des Fleurs Fleur Eclair was launched in 2024, their first gourmand fragrance - and this is an elegant, grown up gourmand. Notes of cardamom sugar, cocoa butter, rosewater, cocoa powder, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, white patchouli, blond woods and amber make up this very posh gourmand. Regime des Fleurs Fleur Eclair is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From the brand's founder and perfumer - "In the distance between delicate and delectable notes, I found the elusive beauty of longing—a sophisticated new take on gourmand fragrance. This is my experience of having and craving—the passion of a promise, where longing blooms into light. It opens with a kiss of cardamom sugar and cocoa butter, with jasmine sambac and orange blossom breathing through an open window. Pale woods and amber settle softly at the base, like a veil of sunlight on the skin. It’s a perfume I wear when I want to indulge—elegant, ethereal, and just a little bit irresistible."

Fragrantica - "his is amazing, start to finish. a gorgeous cocoa-rose scent that segues into the most opulent, heady, intoxicating jasmine. it's so warm and beautiful. the orange blossom makes it's super creamy and slightly sweet, but the jasmine really is the star player here. i don't get any stinkiness from the amber either, which makes it a winner in my book. 10/10
really impressed; the first scent i've tried from the brand and it's absolutely fantastic. definitely will be purchasing a full bottle, although they're especially dear in the UK!"
Fragrantica - "Chocolatey white florals <3 Warms up on the dry down. Absolutely love. It feels like a kiss goodnight."
Fragrantica - "Fleur Éclair smells like a dense, rich, and slightly oily pastry cream, of the same texture as cold cream, infused with orange blossom water and sprinkled with cocoa powder and cardamom. Alongside this is a waxy, crispy jasmine, overflowing with musk and studded with sugar crystals. If it sounds delicious, it is. But I’d argue it’s more of a floral fragrance than a gourmand, although those aspects are important. The jasmine in this is most important though, and it is stunning in it’s heavily woven simplicity. Like a thick, pure white cloak of tightly woven fine threads. The fragrance is linear aside from the first five minutes when a slightly synthetic cocoa note dominates, which I admit to enjoying but it doesn’t stay. The feeling of texture is the thing that most stands out to me about this perfume. "
Fragrantica - "Airy, fluffy, sweet jasmine with spun sugar and a comfortingly artificial chocolate note (I definitely get the tootsie roll note mentioned in a few previous reviews). Feels like a gourmand take on a floral – rather than a floral take on a gourmand. This is more of an end of winter, early spring perfume to me, the white florals are what I notice first. I’ve never smelled anything from Regime des Fleurs before, but I believe they are known for their floral notes – so I would think this makes sense in context with the house. This perfume makes me interested in trying more of their fragrances. After wearing it for about an hour, it smells like I applied cocoa butter lotion and then threw on a sweater that had an airy jasmine perfume lingering on the fabric. Feels precious, innocent, and a little playful.:
