L'Occitane en Provence — Fleurs de Cerisier Infusion Fruitée
Essence
A discontinued 2021 limited-edition flanker in L’Occitane’s long-running Fleurs de Cerisier (Cherry Blossom) line, this is a light, sparkling floral-fruity built around cherry blossom and cherry over citrus, conceived as an “infused water” of Provencal fruits and flowers. It is deliberately soft and casual - a fresh, fruity spring scent and body-line companion rather than a serious or long-lasting perfume.
Scent Profile
It opens on acidic, sparkling citrus - lemon, bitter orange and grapefruit - that reads bright and fizzy. The heart is the cherry idea: cherry blossom water and Luberon cherry extract alongside jasmine water and gardenia, giving a juicy-but-delicate cherry-and-blossom effect (the brand emphasizes cherry-blossom floral water and a real cherry extract). The base is soft and powdery - iris, white musk and candied “forest fruits”/red berries. Reviewers for the line describe the overall impression as a clean, fizzy, lightly sweet floral, “like cherry-infused soda water,” with the blossom rather than a heavy candied cherry leading.
Performance
Weak by design. Wearer accounts for this specific flanker describe very soft sillage and short longevity, with one detailed complaint saying you “have to use 3/4 of the bottle” to smell it on skin. Expect a close, short-lived eau de toilette best refreshed through the day or layered with the matching body products.
Wearing Context
A spring/daytime scent: fresh, fruity and youthful, well suited to warm-weather casual wear, and easy/inoffensive enough to be near-universally wearable. The broader Fleurs de Cerisier line is repeatedly described as charming, light and giftable across ages. Practical reading: this is a cheerful daytime/seasonal layering scent, not an evening or projection fragrance.
Comparisons & DNA
Closest reference points are within its own family. It is a fruitier, citrus-forward variation on the core L’Occitane Fleurs de Cerisier (Cherry Blossom), and sits near other cherry-blossom florals like Jo Malone Sakura Cherry Blossom and Yves Rocher’s cherry offerings in the affordable-floral space. It is explicitly NOT in the rich gourmand-cherry register of Tom Ford Lost Cherry or Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy - those are dark, boozy, almond-cherry “dessert” scents, whereas Infusion Fruitee is a transparent, fresh blossom-and-fruit cologne. L’Occitane has since continued the line with newer cherry flankers, including Muscat Blanc Fleurs de Cerisier in 2025.
Reception
The signal that exists is mild and positive-to-neutral: pleasant, sweet, fruity, but too weak to satisfy. The base Fleurs de Cerisier line is better-loved (praised as natural, “smells like rain,” refreshing and giftable), and that goodwill carries over, but Infusion Fruitee itself has no critical following and no established critic review. Blind-buy verdict: low-risk because it is inexpensive and inoffensive, but buy for the scent idea, not for performance.
Versions & Reformulation
A 2021 limited edition within the Fleurs de Cerisier collection, released as a small range - 50 ml EDT, a 10 ml roll-on, a hair fragrance, plus shower gels, body milks, hand gels and a body gel. No reformulations; it was a seasonal/limited release and is now discontinued. Single composition.
Acquisition Notes
Discontinued; sold only on the secondary market (eBay and similar) in its single 50 ml EDT size. It was an affordable mass-market launch (the core line sits well under €45 - £54 for larger sizes), so secondary pricing should remain low.
