Reviews of Comme une Evidence by Yves Rocher

Cottony neo-victorian floral patchouli with a soapy dreamy soul. Rosey, light and poetic. The rose-lily of the valley accord, initially earthy and angular, slides gradually towards a balmy exotic patchouli quite romantic and airy-fairy. Yves Rocher Comme une Evidence is a gracious suave floral accord. The body lotion is a balmy dream. An "easy" shy little pearl by Annick Menardo.

Clean, crisp rose centerpiece with an earthy combo of lily of the valley & patchouli. It's almost soapy, rather subtle, and appropriate for virtually any occasion. You won't necessarily be making any statements with this fragrance, but it's safe, reliable, feminine, and pleasant.

There are many versions of "Comme une Evidence" around. My version is Eau de Parfum.

The notes on the box say:
essential oils of patchouli, bergamot and petitgrain, rose and jasmine absolutes

There is one limited version which has exactly those notes, but my box or bottle don't say anything about LE, nor do the box or bottle match mine.

My version smells rather soft and I would not be surprised if the often mentioned lily-of-the-valley was one of the ingredients (maybe it's the bergamot and the petitgrain) but the patchouli has too strong of a hold in the background so that I can not detect the rose and jasmine, only something "floral". Too bad.

I always get compliments when I wear this! I was initially attracted to the violet leaf in the composition but have since learned that violet turns peculiar on me. Just as well that the violet in comme use evidence after a first blast goes away and other florals take it's place. And they're pretty! Not sugary but springlike smells, lily of the valley, Jasmine, Rose, and is that Tonka to anchor it all? Comme use Evidence doesn't Make a Statement, but one doesn't tire of it, it's not novel, it doesn't shout I just love it for saying one thing, 'I love flowers and I love smelling like them'.

I've worn this perfume for years and years. I really love it! I do not wear it at the moment. sometimes it can get a little heavy or to present.
It is a good en sensual smell.

One of few perfumes that stays true on my skin and continues to smell nice. There's also a A FRESHER, MORE RADIANT VERSION OF COMME UNE ÉVIDENCE Comme une Évidence Eau de Toilette. When I wear either of these I'll usually get compliments. The scents don't last a long time on my skin though, and I have to refresh it during the day. I have a lot of allergies, so it's nice to be able to find a perfume/cologne I can handle.

A pleasant floral chypre – feminine: The floral is primarily lily of the valley. I personally don't care for the violet leaf in the opening but it doesn't come on strongly enough to annoy me. I think Comme une Evidence is one of those fragrances that exhibit a variation of reactions to different skin types because it reacts completely different on paper from the way it responds on my my skin. It is thin, uninspired, and a bit boring on paper, but on my skin it works beautifully. The fragrance is freshly floral, and a little soapy. It's more subtle than not, and uncomplicatedly constructed which is difficult to imagine considering that it's a chypre. The lily of the valley is well presented – clear and nicely natural. My favorite aspect is the mossy drydown that projects a discreet elegance as well as that bit of sensuality typical of chypres. The drydown gets a little powdery at the end. For as light as Comme une Evidence is, it lasts quite well. All in all, it is a very good fragrance at a reasonable price.

I really liked this one but it ended up cloying me so I gave it away.This is a very elegant, feminine scent, mainly chypre, a little floral and quite sharp, but not heavy IMO. The drydown is conforting and pretty, without losing its freshness.I think it's a suitable fragrance for the office, sprayed in moderation, of course, as its lasting power is quite good.

This smells really pretty-in the bottle, that is! On me it stank badly of some chemical waste! Too bad because I really wanted it to work for me! Oh, well! So many perfumes, so little time!

Not too green, not too floral, just right chypre with a muted lily of the valley and slightly warm smell that's perfect for spring and days in winter when you feel like spring will never come. Have the solid perfume and intense version too.

May I recommend you all try the lighter edt. version of this called Un Jour se Leve. It is absolutely gorgeous in an airy,nonchalant,flirty way. Rhubarb lends it an appealing, zesty top note and the middle notes are warm and to die for. Lasts quite well for an edt. at least four hours on me.The YR blurb compares this scent to the first rays of sunlight piercing the sky - how can anyone resist that?Apparently this is the second-best selling scent in France (after Chanel no. 5 and before Angel)and they know a thing or two.... What's more it's very inexpensive. What more could you ask for?

God I love this one! But only during springtime... I am usually not into these flowery fragrances, but this one is really special to me. I am not a huge fan of Yves Rocher because the products are not qualitative, at least not those made for Eastern Europe. :(Comme une evidence is fresh, feminine, joyful and can be worn during daytime and evening. When I'm wearing it I feel like I really love life.

I have a bottle of Comme Une Evidence in "elixir" format. This reminds me of Ralph Lauren Romance but it's greener, and heavier on the rose and lily. It's a very pretty, rather elegant smelling fragrance that would work well in an office environment, but it would be great to wear on a night-out as well. If you're a lover of chypres, this one is certainly worth a try. It's an attractive fragrance offered at a very fair price. I really enjoy the body lotion and bath gel in this scent, too.

It reminds me a bit of Romance but with a chypre finish. It's rather long-lasting (which is not the case of all Yves Rocher fragrances, yet never overpowering. See it as a nice basic blazer you can either dress down with a jeans or dress up with pearls. Great office scent, colleagues will ask what you are wearing.

Light, springtime Lily-of-the-Valley green chypre. I first tried it on a towlette sample, and adored it. So sprightly, refreshing and cool spring airish. I bought the edp and wasn't as wowed, though I still liked it. It had a lot of aldehydes in the bottle that were absent on the towelette.
It slowly lost its attraction for me, as lily of the valley is a note I can only take sparingly - there is an indefinable hard edge to what should be a delicate note. And the aldehydes were giving me real problems, becoming very hairsprayish. I don't remember if I gave the bottle to someone or threw it away, but I didn't finish it. I tended to bring it out in the spring, and forget it starting mid summer, so would classify this as a spring fragrance. I think this might actually be charming on someone other than my aldehydic-challenged self.
