Fleurissimo by Creed is a classic floral fragrance for women, adding a touch of glamour to their lives for decades. Fleurissimo was originally launched in 1956 and I was particularly intrigued by the fact that it was crafted for Grace Kelly on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Rainier.
It is a well-sculpted, exquisite creation that happens to be loved by Madonna. And this was enough to push me to try this heavenly fragrance! This perfume has been described as natural, romantic, timeless, and lush without being too heavy.

Top Notes
The top notes of Fleurissimo are Bergamot, Violet Leaves, and Mandarin Orange.
Evocative, inspiring, fresh, and lively is how I would describe the opening of this regal perfume. The lightweight citruses used in the blend add a dash of life and energy to the scent without being too intense.
Middle Notes
The middle notes include Tuberose, Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Neroli; a blissful combination of good old delicate florals.
Rose and Jasmine give their sensuality and richness to the fragrance, with refined Tuberose adding creaminess and depth to it. The florals work together really well, merging seamlessly with each other in this exquisite floral symphony.
Base Notes
Orris, Sandalwood, and Cedar make up the base for this perfume.
Relying heavily on florals, this perfume’s base has a light and subtle woody/aromatic character. Cedar has been used since it is less smoky and less musky, evoking mystery and intrigue. Orris gives away its powdery scent while Sandalwood creates that deep, warm, and aromatic effect to the perfume.

Longevity
Fleurissimo has great longevity considering its composition of light notes.

The scent dries down to soft and gentle tuberose.

Fleurissimo radiates vintage floral perfume vibes, without excessive aldehydes or suffocating sillage, ensuring all the eyes in the room are on you.
This scent has the right amount of sillage to not overpower your senses with the number of florals used in it, ideal to use in casual settings too.

Owing to the light sillage, you can rock Fleurissimo at any casual event and even work! Just a couple of spritz and off you go to whatever meetings, presentations, friendly brunches, or night-outs you have on schedule.
Being purely floral, this scent is ideal for use in the spring/summertime when it shines the most. Fleurissimo is a pure essence of femininity and so whenever you desire to channel your individuality, put on this scent no matter if it’s day or night.
Packaging
Creed Fleurissimo EDP is contained in a sheer transparent glass bottle of the typical CREED silhouette, topped with a green-gold cap and a few engravings. The curves of the bottle add to its elegance and grace.
The bottle is simple, lovely, delicate, and a fine creation of CREED just like the fragrance. Though the bottle could’ve been better, it’s still classy and embodies the opulent characteristics of the scent secured in it.
Final Thoughts
Having used Fleurissimo myself, to me it is one of the most graceful and sumptuous blends my olfactory nerves have ever experienced. It is like sniffing a huge bouquet of fresh lively flowers at once and I don’t want to come out of it.
This beautiful floral fragrance is reminiscent of a big fat wedding bouquet_ symbolizing dreams, hopes, and happily-ever-afters in a sophisticated and romantic way.
However, if you want a fruity punch together with florals, give a look at our take on Aventus for Her.
This scent surely captivates both the heart and the eyes and directs all the attention to the person wearing it. You simply cannot go wrong with a fragrance as classy and exquisite as Fleurissimo_ a powerful expression of feminine poise.
The scent is mature but lightweight, feminine and dainty, perfect for -but not limited to a bride. And even if you’re not getting married, this perfume can still make it to your shelf due to its purely feminine energy_ no age barriers when it comes to smelling good! You’re missing on a treat if you still haven’t got your hands on Fleurissimo.
It surely is on the pricier side of things but if you don’t mind indulging in high prices, do give this one a try.
