Reviews – Colognes Fougere, Gentleman's Chypre, Four Thieves and Plantation

Gentleman’s Chypre had me at the get-go with it’s soft and luxuriously powdery opening. Written of as a “dapper debonair detective inspired by Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.”

Customer Reviews

“We had such a great experience with Fleurage. The team at Fleurage are so warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional and their set up is so amazing! We left with such a great fragrance that we made as a team. Highly recommend anyone wanting to buy a perfume to create it themselves with Fleurage.”

– Adrian M, Melbourne

“I can’t tell you how much I love it! The whole process is really quite fascinating and I would recommend it to anyone who loves perfume. My tip for anyone considering a visit to Fleurage to create their own fragrance is to have a think about the style of fragrance you might like to create.”

– Distantfrancophile

“I just wanted to let you know that I had a delightful experience this morning. I really loved how well you engage with me as a person, how you identified my likes and dislikes and helped me make a wonderful, individualised perfume, just for me.”

– Maureen B, Melbourne

“Just a short note to let you know that I love the perfume we made. Definitely more of an evening scent but perfect as, till now, I hadn't found one. Thanks for such a fun morning.”

– E, Melbourne

“An evening spent designing my own perfume. Thank you ladies, what a wonderful birthday treat.”

– Neda T, Melbourne

“I bought your Citron Cologne — it is so incredible! I wanted to thank you for creating such a close blend to the scent I remember from my childhood. I have sampled so many of the French perfumes but they never quite captured this scent as beautifully as you have done.

– Maribel

“I would recommend Fleurage’s Create Your Own Perfume experience to anyone — it was such a fun, educational and enriching creative activity. It would appeal to both perfume aficionados and to those with no prior knowledge of fragrance.

“I had such a wonderful time making my own fragrance with Emma from Fleurage; it was a really magical experience and a wonderful way to make a tribute perfume both to my father and my own childhood scent memories.”

– Perfume Polytechnic
