Creed Fleurs de Bulgarie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1845, created by Pierre Bourdon and Henry Creed Third Generation. Fleurs de Bulgarie opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambergris. Creed's Fleurs de Bulgarie carries an Acquired verdict, a animalic-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its classic, unapologetic rose and musk blend or find it a bit too 'granny's soap'. It's bold, a bit soapy, and definitely not for shrinking violets.

About

Fleurs de Bulgarie greets you with a bright, fleeting whisper of bergamot, quickly ushering in a majestic Bulgarian rose. This isn't a shy, dewy bloom; it's a deep, rich, and almost jammy floral heart, underpinned by a powerful animalic musk and creamy ambergris. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of clean soapiness with intriguing wafts of warmth and depth, evoking a sense of classic luxury rather than modern freshness.
