I've never smelt the perfume, but my mum told me that 13 years ago she smelt the perfume and fell in love with it. She even named me Antonia :)

Floret is a very lovely sweet girly fragrance. I really like it. Its kind of perfect for a nice spring day. Yet I am not sure if I would buy it again with a price tag of $90. I would have to be in love with it. Hmmm so I really like it!

Liddle Kiddle cologne floral. Nice and without plastic edges, but very soliflore and young somehow. Lacks complexity, maturity and interest. Inoffensive and pretty but overpriced for what it is.

Reminds me so much of Jessica McClintock's fragrance (the one w/the white cap). I have not smelled that in awhile but that's immediately what I thought & thus it reminds me of the 80's. I'm not a real fan of Maybe Baby by Benefit & while I can also see that comparison, I think the Benefit is better. Definitely a fresh & uplifting feel though. Too sweet & too strong for me.

Very feminine, floral and long lasting. I am really enjoying it! I usually wear Kate Spade or L'Artisan scent, but I am really into this right now!

Love this fragrance, but the eau de toilette retails for £69.00 and the eau de parfum for £110 in the UK, so it ain't cheap. Benefit Maybe Baby smells exactly the same on me and is a lot cheaper so I'll probably not splash out on this one again.

This has been my signature scent for the last 5 years or so (I know, I'm a bit BORING)...and I just can't seem to find anything else that I like as well!

I previously wore the original Antonia's Flowers and switched to Floret after getting a sample. For me, it's the perfect blend of fruit and flowers (I'm a sucker for sweet pea) and one of the few fragrances that doesn't give me an immediate headache.

Unlike some other reviewers, I find that the scent actually improves the longer it sits on my skin, and I get compliments on it a good 6 hours or more after application. My skin and the fragrance must have a perfect symbiosis!

I got the samples from Antonia's Flowers, including Floret in EDT and EDP. I hate them both. They smell like the peach spray people use in the bathroom, or Naturistics Tropics. I am not sure because I haven't smelled Tropics in 14 years, but I remember liking the smell, but something was off. Same with Floret. It's nothing like Petite Cherie. Nothing at all.

On the plus side, Antonia's Flowers had excellent CS, and I LOVED sogni del mare. I will buy that. I got about 7 or 8 samples for $5, sogni del mare edt, floret edp edt, tempe passate and antonia's flowers. A great deal!

This is the perfect fragrance for spring! It smells absolutely sparkling, like a beautiful apricot orchard in a field of lily of the valley and marigold. Very feminine and lovely.

Floret is easily a HG for me. It's a clean blend of sweet pea, lily of the valley, and apricot. It's very much a spring fragrance. Even though the scent fades within a couple of hours, it's still the best floral in my collection.

Lovely lovely lovely. Bought this yesterday (EdT) for my daughter as a birthday present, loving it so much I want to keep it for myself. It just smells clean and fresh, of flowers, with no chemical nastinesses. Tried it on in the shop at about 1pm and could still smell it on my wrist when I went to bed. Bit pricey, but seems worth it.

I love this in the parfum version but not in the edt version. The edt has a funny middle note on me. The parfum is just gorgeous and feminine and really a pretty scent. I love it for spring. I finally splurged on the full size bottle of parfum when antoniasflowers.com had a special running where you got a free full size body lotion with the purchase of a perfume. I'm so glad I did. I chose gift wrap too because it was a gift - for myself! It's such a nice fragrance.

I have the EDT. This smells sweet and clean, like a good flowery soap. I can't pick out any particular notes, but they are all very light and spring-like, nothing heavy or overpowering. There is something sort of champagne-like about it.I can see the resemblance to Petite Cherie, but that one went all funky and musky and gross on my skin, while Floret does not (probably because of the lack of the vanilla, musk and rose that is in Petite Cherie). The lasting power is excellent, I can still smell it almost an entire day later. The glass flower thing on top is really pretty.

I could probably consider making this my signature scent. It isn't really unusual or memorable, but it is cute, casual and inoffensive.

I love it. I've picked it everyday for a while now. To me, it is fresh and sweet and lovely without having a very strong presence. The apricot note sits just right with me. I tried Petite Cherie and it turned too cloying and perfumey. I tried Maybe Baby and it smelled too synthetic or something. Maybe too fake-ish floral. Something about it was off on me. Then I tried my sample of Floret, which I have had unused for at least two years, and it was just right. Silly but true. LOVE it. I haven't received a single compliment and, although I wish for them, it certainly won't stop me from wearing it.

This is my HG fragrance! It's such a lovely, feminine, sweet floral. The most prominent notes on me are sweet pea and apricot with a touch of lily of the valley. Very spring-like. I will definitely repurchase again and again!

A sweet pea, marigold and rose fragrance into which has been mixed a substantial amount of my Crabtree and Evelyn's Apricot Oil bath gel (adding a very sweet, honeyed note, which comes close to turning this into a floral and apricot jam). That was my first impression of this scent. Very nice, but apricots were firmly lodged in my mind in the categories of bath products or jams and I wasn't sure how I felt about them in a perfume. However, as this dries down it becomes increasingly interesting. I love the honeyed note the apricot gives it and the marigold is certainly not a run of the mill scent in fragrances. A brand new category for fragrances has just been added to the apricot pondering part of my mind. This layers beautifully w/ SL's Arabie.
