Eau de Fleurs by Nina Ricci: launched in 1980. Created by Betty Busse as an eau de toilette. A more intense version of the fragrance named Fleurs de Fleurs, in eau de parfum concentration was also released in 1982.
Here's how: St. Thomas & St. John, 1982:
"The famous house of Nina Ricci has a new fragrance for the ladies — Eau de Fleurs, and Continental has it for about $10 for one and three quarters ounces of the eau de toilette. This is a light and light-hearted fragrance, perhaps an expression of a new kind of romanticism."

Bottles:
In 1984/1985, the Eau de Toilette for Fleur de Fleurs, known as Eau de Fleurs, extended the fragrance into daily use while maintaining its refined identity. It was presented in engraved gold bottles in three generous sizes—100 ml, 200 ml, and 400 ml—emphasizing continuity with the luxurious aesthetic of the crystal editions. A large 120 ml atomizer offered ease and comfort for regular application, while a 50 ml natural spray provided a lighter, contemporary format suited to travel or daytime wear.
Presented in a limited edition Lalique crystal flacon for the Christmas holiday in 1981.
