French botanical cosmetics brand Yves Rocher, founded in 1959 in the village of La Gacilly, has impressed generations with its fragrances since launching its first perfumes in 1976, Chevrefeuille and En Avril Un Soir. Growing up in the Netherlands, I remember eagerly awaiting the monthly brochures and samples that arrived in the mail in the eighties and nineties, leading to the purchase of many small treasures, like Clea, Ispahan, Magnolia, Pivoine, Ming Shu Fleur Rare, Venice, and Vie Privée. (Read more about this iconic brand in Sergey's articles on Clea and Ispahan.)
Yves Rocher's scented offer evolved with the fashion of fragrance, following trends from 'natural scents' (Les Plaisirs Nature, Fraicheur Vegetale) to fruitchouli bombs (Mon Evidence, Mon Rouge) and ingredient-based exclusives, like the Secret d'Essences line (which includes Rose Absolue, Tendre Jasmin, Voile d'Ambre, Vanille Noire, Iris Noir, Neroli, Rose Oud, and Accord Chic). Today, Yves Rocher counts 298 fragrances in the Fragrantica database!
The latest addition to the Yves Rocher fragrance collection is Bouquet Ambré, which has found a place in the Pleines Natures collection, inspired by olfactory landscapes. According to the brand, iconic raw materials of perfumery meet inspiring natural landscapes in this line, which comprises Sel d'Azur, Matin Blanc, Sable Fauve, Plein Soleil, Voile d'Ocre, Garden Party, Verte Envolée, Sur La Lande, Cuir de Nuit, and now also Bouquet Ambré. Among the perfumers working on this line, we find the highly regarded Amandine Clerc-Marie, Fabrice Pellegrin, Marie Salamagne, Sophie Labbé, Caroline Dumur, and Ane Ayo.
Bouquet Ambré
2026
Amber Floral
NOTES: Iris, Jasmine, Incense, Bitter Orange
"At dawn, a mystical wind disperses the mist and reveals a wild nature tinged with golden hues. A floral bouquet structured around a majestic iris, wrapped in creamy incense and contrasted by bright bitter orange." -Yves Rocher.
In the perfumers' words:
"Wild flowers gracefully blend with jasmine and noble iris, wrapped in a creamy incense veil that is both mysterious and highly addictive." -Nadège Le Garlantezec & Guillaume Flavigny, perfumers.
Bouquet Ambre is available in Europe in 100 ml bottles (69.90 EUR) and 30 ml (43.90 EUR), and I also spotted it in the Canadian webshop. The US webshop hasn't shown it yet, but I'm expecting it to arrive there, too.
