  And what can I say… it’s a jewel, unconventional. Every skin fixes it differently, it’s refined and not invasive.

  I just bought it, quite expensive but I thought it over until I decided. It smells very much like violets, like those purple hard candies, sweet but not annoying. My only doubt is that it leaves an oily trail on the skin, although I bought it at a well-known department store.

  I smelled a slightly powdery but rich aroma. The violet scent stands out quite a bit, reminding me of Guerlain’s Insolence, though this one is more delicate. It’s a safe scent, looks good on any occasion: reserved, elegant, and soft. And did I mention that the bottle is absolutely divine?

  I agree that at first you smell the violets, perhaps softened by a powdery jasmine, but that fades quickly. Then come the currants and ripe, acidic berries, also powdery from the iris. The final result is ripe, powdery berries with a discreet touch of iris. It’s very sophisticated. On my skin, it lasts a bit longer than average, and the projection is timid. Even if the blend and longevity hadn’t appealed to me, its place in my collection was won solely by the bottle, a wonderful example from Van Cleef & Arpels.

  The bottle is much better than the perfume.

  A floral-fruity fragrance with a subtle delicacy that avoids being cloying. A balanced mix of berries, red fruits, violet, jasmine, iris, and rose. The opening is fruity with ripe and acidic berries that then blend with the softness of the violet and a discreet powdery hint of iris. A distinguished and elegant aroma that is noticeable without being overwhelming. I think its sweetness would reach its peak in the colder months. Also, the bottle is a jewel, literally, a masterpiece worthy of Van Cleef & Arpels.

  I bought it blind because it was half price (usually it’s expensive). The packaging is gorgeous with that fairy concept; the bottle could have been more striking for that price, but the cap with the perfect, sensual, and ethereal fairy takes all the applause. I don’t understand why people compare it to Insolence; aside from the violet, I don’t see similarities. Insolence is dense with wild projection and sillage, while Feerie smells more like rose with an acid-sweet fruit, like those hard candies sold in Mexico. For my nose, with the rose standing out and medium-low sillage and longevity, it reminds me more of Berdoues’ Clair de Rose; it smells soapy, not powdery. I like it, but I wouldn’t buy it again if it wasn’t half price.

  What a cool surprise opening it: the indigo blue glass and the pewter chrome cap are pure luxury, no cheap plastic, almost a table ornament. Smells like sweet berries and wild fruits with fresh touches, very elegant red roses like Bulgari Rose, well-blended blackberries, and notable wood, though I didn’t notice much iris. A jewel for anyone wanting to make a difference.

  I bought it because the bottle is marvelous. I’ve liked it a lot, but it hasn’t enchanted me. I’ll have to give it another chance. It’s a fine, delicate, and mysterious scent… but I don’t like the base notes, and I think after two hours the lingering scent isn’t my style.

  The moment I sprayed it, I was surprised thinking it smelled like some kind of candy. Once it dried, it confirmed notes of caramelized violets with a subtle makeup undertone; it’s hard to explain, but it’s a special and charming scent.

  When I sprayed it, I was surprised to think it smelled like some kind of caramel. After it dried, I concluded it reminded me of violet candies with a tiny touch of makeup in the base. It’s very hard to explain, but it’s definitely a special and charming aroma.

  I adore the way of life it speaks without words; it says more than all our languages. And in this case, the landscape where ‘The Fairy’ lives speaks better than the nymph. The ‘Feerie’ forest is bicolor: the moment you step between your rough violet trunks, I’m hit by a citrus scent: violent clementines with peel and purple pulp shaking me until almost a shiver. I keep walking on your purple carpet and caressing your bushes, which embrace me with branches and berries. I look up at a cruel sapphire sky that softens with the tone of your leaves and pink flowers, which were red but dissolve and pour their scent, bleeding out to pink. Now the landscape changes: a clearing appears, the light between your canopies bathes a river of amethysts and violets… Feerie, aren’t you a fairy, right? Feerie is diving into the river of your forest, with berry-stained legs and feet in iris sandals, floating among crystals and flowers; roses and violets, without stems but with roots, being perfectly imperfect.

  Its presentation awakens fantasy, charm, femininity, and innocence in that beautiful faceted blue bottle that looks like a precious stone with a flower and a branch holding a silver fairy. It’s a jewel, more memorable and adorable than its delicate fragrance, which is good and becomes more enchanting the more you wear it. It’s a woody floral with a citrus opening that blends between berries, then flowers, and a woody base. It reveals soft violets with refreshing green notes, like pleasant herbs, accompanied by flowers and a fruity accord of tangerines and blackcurrants that give a sweet freshness. In the heart, a velvety rose stands out with a touch of jasmine, accompanied by violets and iris; sometimes intense, sometimes subtle, giving that talcum-like, elegant, and sophisticated accord. Everything rests on a woody base of vetiver, where the trail is more intense, creamy, and beautiful. It’s a fresh and slightly sweet perfume that doesn’t invade or tire; its longevity and trail are moderate, so it suits any occasion and all year round, especially in temperate climates. In summary: recommended (and I’m eager to try its other fairy versions).

  My last purchase and I’m very happy with it. It starts clearly fruity: sweet, juicy berries like currants and blackberries, along with a tangerine and the acidity of the berries, which add freshness and prevent it from being cloying. Then come velvety roses and violets that, with the iris, become softly talcum-like, very feminine and seductive. The base is a soft, earthy vetiver, slightly woody with oak moss that balances everything and completes this enchanted forest. Fruit, flowers, and woods. It’s very similar to others, but with notable differences: it’s more delicate and youthful than Guerlain’s Insolence (which I find potent and tiring), and not as childish or cold-weather oriented as Britney Spears’ Midnight Fantasy (which is denser due to the vanilla and amber). Still, it has that gummy candy imprint. It’s closer to Lancome’s Tresor Midnight Rose, with that little acidic touch and elegance, but without the sadness that perfume evokes for me. It has the best of all without the nuances I hate. With a soft, delicate trail, it has good longevity, up to 6 hours on me. It’s not childish nor mature, it’s intimate, elegant, and versatile for any occasion, except extreme heat. It’s not dark despite the color, but youthful and radiant. Special mention to the packaging: cobalt blue box, another dark box you pull out by rings, and inside an urn with the bottle. There’s no instruction manual. The bottle is a beauty, midnight blue faceted crystal that hides the liquid, perfect for display. The cap is a flower with a silver fairy. It would be better if the figurine came off so it could be used as a brooch, though some suggest using the branches as a ring holder or even a throwing weapon. Everyone use it as they please. I plan to enjoy both the perfume and the bottle with all my might. Hehe, and if I find a deal, I’m already thinking about Feerie Rubis.

  My latest acquisition and I’m very happy with it. The opening is clearly fruity: sweet and juicy berries, currants, and blackberries, along with a tangerine and the acidity of the berries, bring freshness and avoid being cloying. Then comes a combination of velvet roses and violets that, with the iris, become softly talcum-powdered, very feminine and seductive. The base is a soft, earthy vetiver, somewhat woody with oak moss that balances everything, composing this enchanted forest. Fruits, flowers, and woods. It’s very similar to others, but with noticeable differences: it’s more delicate and youthful than Guerlain’s Insolence (which I perceive as potent and overwhelming), not as childish or cold-weather as Britney Spears’ Midnight Fantasy (which is dense with vanilla and amber). Still, it has that gummy candy stamp. It’s closer to Lancôme’s Tresor Midnight Rose, with that little acidic touch and elegance, without the sadness this last one evokes in me. It has the best of all: soft sillage, good longevity (up to 6 hours on me), intimate, elegant, and versatile for any occasion except very hot summers. It’s not dark despite the color, but youthful and radiant. Separate mention for the packaging: cobalt blue box, another dark box with rings, opens like a little cabinet, and inside is the dazzling bottle. I need an instruction manual. The faceted midnight blue glass prevents seeing the liquid and is perfect for an empty shelf. The cap is a flower with a silver fairy. It would be better if the figurine detached to use as a brooch, though some suggest using the branches as a ring holder or throwing weapon. Everyone use it as they please. I plan to enjoy it and its bottle with all my effort. hehe and if I find a good deal, thinking about Feerie Rubis…

  I was curious and found it in a store today. I couldn’t spray it, but smelling it made me want to buy it. It was a breath of fresh air, something different from that army of gourmands or vanilla-amber scents everyone uses. It smells of violet, followed by currants and berries, a distinct aroma. The bottle is another story: it’s great when a house cares about design instead of just putting a clear rectangle out there. The blue bottle is nice, but the fairy-topped cap is gorgeous and well-finished. It paints a picture of a great perfume; I hope it doesn’t disappoint me in longevity and projection.

  Curious about this perfume, I found it today at a lucky store. I couldn’t spray it on my arm, but to my misfortune, I smelled it and now I want it. It felt like a break from the norm, stepping away from the army of gourmands, vanillas with amber, and woods; I think I know what I’m talking about. A distinct aroma, an underused flower, the violet, followed by gooseberries and berries. The bottle is another story: it’s refreshing when a house values a good container, reviving old design traditions instead of just clear rectangles. The blue bottle is lovely, but the cap (the fairy) is exquisite; you can tell the quality and excellent finish. It looks like it should be excellent. I hope it doesn’t disappoint on longevity and projection.

  It smells exactly like Miss Charming by Juliette has a Gun, just weaker. I like both for everyday wear; they’re very easy to wear and I find them charming.

  I tried it and it’s subtly beautiful, delicate, and reserved, with that soft floral-fruity touch. It’s very discreet. I prefer more pronounced scents; on my skin, it was very soft and didn’t last long, but it’s still elegant. I’m sure it could look great on someone else.

  It’s extremely sweet and fruity; on my skin, I don’t detect any violets or roses, just fruit. If you like sweet perfumes, this is for you. It has good longevity, trail, and gets me lots of compliments. For me, the best part is the bottle, which is absolutely beautiful.

  I’ll admit my expectations for Feerie were a bit mixed. I’ve read reviews calling it gorgeous and others dismissing it as simple; I understand both sides. I’m not sure if it’s been reformulated, but on my skin, it’s pure floral: nothing powdery, just herbal and deep. It starts with a touch of red berries, but then it’s just violet and rose, faintly reminiscent of Lolita Lempicka and more like Guerlain’s Insolence. What I love most is its depth; it delivers on its ‘enchanted forest’ concept, feeling potent and sweetened, very atmospheric. The problem is it feels empty, like a forest with pretty lights but no real life, making it feel a bit incomplete. It’s not innovative or dreamy for me, but it has an excellent conceptual focus. The bottle is stunning in person, though impractical and perhaps too flashy; I’d say they put more love into the bottle than the perfume itself. In short, it’s pleasant, moderate, and has an autumnal vibe.

  I bought it blind just for the beautiful bottle, found it at the perfumery in my town without a tester, what anxiety not being able to smell it. I had been curious for a while. I read it was similar to Insolence and had doubts, since I don’t like it and neither do I like talcum-powdered scents; the violet and iris gave me hesitation. I thought if I didn’t like it, my mom surely would, who loves those flowers. But oh surprise! I’ve loved it, could it be the fairy on the bottle? I enjoy discovering scents outside my style. It’s mysterious, delicate, very natural, without artificiality, there’s a forest with flowers and fruits combined excellently. The vetiver helps in the base so the iris isn’t so powdery, giving it a herbal touch, and they do a good job. I don’t recommend buying it without trying, it’s a perfume you either like or don’t. I was lucky and I’m very happy to have it.

The vetiver helps the base so the iris isn’t so powdery and dominant, giving it a herbal touch, and together they do a great job. I don’t recommend buying blind; it’s a perfume you either like or don’t, it’s risky. I was lucky and I’m very happy to have it.

  Wonderful fragrance. Lasts a very long time. It resembles Cacharel’s Promesse.

  An ode to the violet. I was looking for a floral for spring, the bottle enchanted me, and I decided to try it. The start is intense: the violet and berries are very noticeable, reminding me of childhood violet-flavored candies; then it loses intensity and the flowers appear, maintaining the absolute protagonism of the violet and becoming a bit powdery. It’s a beautiful perfume, it doesn’t resemble any other I’ve smelled. It’s feminine and romantic, but not outdated; I imagine it with gauze, velvet, or fine silk, in violet or lilac. I see it in Arwen’s or Evangeline Lily’s vanity.

  My mom used to say that in her youth, a woman who found ‘her perfume’ only used that fragrance, turning it into her signature. I was puzzled because I love having and using many perfumes; there’s so much to explore… One day, in 2009, I was gifted my first Feerie, and then I understood what my mom was telling me. The opening is intense, with violets standing out and that sweet-and-sour taste of red berries perceptible. In the final evolution, the violets remain, and the Bulgarian rose barely peeks out, a subtle and delicate combination. The longevity on my skin is 9 to 10 hours, and the sillage is wide at first and then moderate. I never go unnoticed. The bottle deserves special mention: it’s beautiful, fine, deep blue, and ethereal, perfectly representing the fairy concept. I love this perfume; every time I see it, I try to buy it so I don’t run out of stock because in my country it usually disappears and reappears several years later.

  My mom used to say that in her youth, whoever found ‘their perfume’ used it as a personal signature. I was puzzled because I love having many and exploring… Until in 2009 I was gifted my first Feerie and I understood what she meant. Its opening is intense, highlighting violets and that sweet-and-sour taste of red berries. In the final phase, the violets remain and barely the Bulgarian rose emerges, a subtle and delicate combination. Longevity on my skin is 9 to 10 hours, with a wide sillage at first and then moderate. I never go unnoticed. The bottle deserves special mention: it’s gorgeous, refined, deep blue, and ethereal, representing the fairy concept.

  Have you ever bought a perfume just for the bottle? Here’s an example. After a major disappointment months ago with Chopard’s Wish due to its reformulation, I looked for something where violet was the star, and this perfume intrigued me because of its bottle, worthy of fairy tales and fantasy like Middle-earth. I feared they put more care into the bottle than the composition, but luckily I got to try it and I loved it; the notes appealed to me (I never follow others’ tastes because my nose is particular), and I dove in. This beautiful composition doesn’t have that loud violet of Guerlain’s Insolence (which I love), but it’s undoubtedly the note that stands out the most. The opening is fresh and fruity with mandarin, blackcurrants, and red berries; those forest fruits with the mandarin give an acidic and fruity accord that reminds me of a pink grapefruit. This initial stage lasts about half an hour, and although it’s delicate, it projects quite a bit, but it calms down afterward. This citrus-fruit accord with the violet (which is felt from start to finish) gives way to a floral note of juicy, velvety rose accompanied by a powdery iris that reminds me of childhood candies and bubblegums that tasted like violet. From here on, the fragrance becomes linear, and that violet-candy scent accompanies you on the skin for hours; it’s not loud, but it’s felt and gives a enchanted halo worthy of Galadriel. In my opinion, it can be worn all year and is versatile; although the candy comparison might make it seem youthful, it’s not, it’s refined. I already had a place for it in my collection with just the bottle, and now that I know it, I think it will always be there.

  Feerie, the jewel every woman wants in her collection. You want to hold it to admire the fairy, touch it, and appreciate every delicate detail. Watching thoughtfully, just like the fairy on her branch holding her little face, you see the faceted blue glass, and perfection becomes tangible. Then you move to the scent upon spraying, expecting a perfume that transports you to that magical world of fairies in a forest of glowing flowers, but it doesn’t happen and disappointment appears without understanding that exterior perfection. Feerie by Van Cleef & Arpels: envision its opening with talc-dusted violets, barely sweet berries and red fruits surfacing in that imagined forest. Then, that talc vanishes suddenly, softening in minutes and staying close to the skin. Thus, the fairy tale fades. Too bad for Van Cleef that they bet only on packaging, forgetting the olfactory charm. Should I recommend buying blind? Yes, only if you’re a collector and care about the design, not the fragrance. Does it resemble Insolence by Guerlain? Not at all, it doesn’t even reach its heels. Does it smell like a magical perfume? Yes, but like Disney princesses that little girls buy after a children’s birthday party.

  Feerie, the jewel every woman wants. You want to hold it in your hands to gaze at the fairy up close, touch it, and appreciate every delicate detail. You stop, thoughtful, just like the fairy on her branch holding her little face. The faceted blue glass is the next thing you see, and perfection becomes tangible. Then you move to the scent, expecting a journey to that magical world of fairies in a forest of glowing flowers, but it doesn’t happen; instead, disappointment appears without understanding that exterior perfection. Feerie by Van Cleef & Arpels: you catch a glimpse of its exit with talcum-powdered violets, barely sweet with some berries and red fruits emerging in that imagined forest; then the talcum suddenly fades, softening it in minutes until it’s just skin-scent. That’s how the fairy tale ends. Too bad for Van Cleef, which bet on packaging while forgetting the olfactory charm. Should I recommend buying blind? Yes, only if you’re a collector and care about the design, not the fragrance. Does it resemble Guerlain’s Insolence? Not at all; it doesn’t even reach its heels. Does it smell like magic perfume? Yes, but the kind Disney princesses buy for girls after a birthday party.

  Feerie (2008): a very elegant violet. It reminds me of Cacharel’s Promesse (2005), but I like Feerie more for its powdery violet with iris and a candied touch; to me, it smells like raspberry, even if they don’t say so. I think it’s very similar to Guerlain’s Insolence, but it’s fresher, lighter, and more youthful, ideal for girls under 20, whereas Insolence is deeper, more mysterious, and has more nuances.

  Van Cleef, what were you thinking deciding to drop this masterpiece? I don’t believe it’s actually off the market. The longevity is monstrous, the sillage is huge, and it smells like an old doll, somewhere between Barbie and bubblegum. It’s a perfumed work of art and the packaging is gorgeous; my mom keeps the empties as decor. What happened? Why isn’t this beauty sold anymore? I don’t get it.

  What a beast of a perfume! I don’t get why they discontinued it. The sillage is incredible: long, deep, soft, and pleasant; I’m sure more than one person asked what I was wearing. The bottle is art. The only flaw is that they no longer sell it. It’s unique!

  I tried it and I’m hooked. It smells sweet and dark, like berry jam, then the violet comes through. I bought it for the bottle and ended up truly loving it.
