    Smells super fresh and modern, right on trend. It’s a good perfume, yes, but not for me. The longevity is top-notch, though the sillage is just average.

    Smells super fresh and trendy, right on the fashion line. It’s a good perfume, sure, but it’s just not for me. The longevity is excellent, though the sillage is a bit weak.

  3. I hadn’t tried the 2014 version before. I already tested Valaya (2023) by the same Quentin Bisch, and the resemblance is incredible, which bothers me a bit. Valaya is a reinvention of Fleur Narcotique. What a shame about that self-plagiarism. This isn’t about personal taste; both are gorgeous. But please, I’m asking for creativity. Anyway…

  4. Smells very soft and floral, then suddenly the fruity side kicks in, between soft peach and lychee. It’s true that it doesn’t project much, but it’s definitely noticeable. It’s not as elegant as they claim; more fresh, clean, and feminine. I grabbed it on sale and added it to my collection. ___ After some time, I still don’t fully love it. Once macerated, it smells like unsweetened flower and fruit, almost insipid. It does smell fresh, but for the price, there are fragrances much better. Not recommending.

  5. Disappointing 😮💨😮💨. For what you pay (an absolute rip-off), it doesn’t project, doesn’t last, and it’s not that extraordinary perfume that its undeserved HYPE makes you believe 🤷🤷. If it happened to you like it did to me, save yourself the trouble and a few bucks 💲💲 with a clone/inspiration; the Dua ones are excellent and last forever 🥰🥰. If you don’t know them or they’re hard to find, any Maison Alhambra or Lattafa is easy to grab.

  6. I feel like this perfume isn’t unique and it doesn’t drive me crazy. I tried to make myself love it because the hype made me want the full bottle, but I don’t feel the price is justified. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who senses a resemblance to Oriana, but it’s much subtler and less potent.

  7. It’s a soft perfume, fruity opening, floral dry down. It doesn’t project much nor have a strong trail, but I absolutely love it. It’s one of those that works super well in hot weather; it’s not intoxicating but you can feel it on you all day, sweet. Very similar to Valaya but softer and sweeter. If you like Valaya or Delina, you’ll like this. One of my best buys of the year!!!

  8. There were too many good reviews, so I decided to try it despite not liking florals/fruity scents. I thought I’d lose my mind and not like it… On the opening, it reminded me of Delina (which I don’t like), that lychee and bergamot scent followed by flowers like peony. If you like Delina, you’ll surely like this, but in the case of Fleur Narcotique, it seems much softer, only noticeable at skin level, less memorable, and the price isn’t justified. Rating 7/10 Originality 6/10.

    I was drawn in by the name…Narcotic Flower…and thought it would be great for spring since I don’t have many options for those days. The truth is, I didn’t like it: it’s a very soft floral, almost skin-scent, and very linear. It lasts a long time on the skin but doesn’t project at all. It has nothing narcotic or captivating about it. Maybe someone looking for a balanced floral would like it, but to me, the price isn’t justified.

    I let myself be swayed by the name… Narcotic Flower… it’s spring and I, being a winter perfume person with few options for spring days, thought it would be great. The truth is, I haven’t liked it. It’s a very, very soft floral, skin-scent, very linear. It lasts a long time on the skin, sure, but with no projection, nothing narcotic or captivating to spark my interest. Maybe it suits someone looking for a balanced floral for personal use, but to me, the price is totally unjustified.
