Pros & Cons
- ✅ Very clean rose, almost soliflora. The peony note and jasmine are noticable, but doesn't overcharge the main star. Perfume conception is meant to be bright and sunny and it is. To be honest, on my skin it behaves almost like rose water. Musk-vanilla base is warm, but intimate. The scent is more watery than sensual. It has oriental vibe, however spiciness is present only by bergamot. If you want to smell feminine, graceful and neat, this is a very safe chioce.
- ✅ Pretty pink roses. Only slightly powdery. Very light but able to project and also has some staying power, at least 6 hours. Very good but not as good as Rose Essentielle, she was a princess...
- ✅ Smells similar to the orange jessamine flower, with some added notes obviously. Fresh, floral, sweet in a subtle way. Surprised there's no orange, or even orange blossom, in the notes, because the bergamot totally reads as orange-ey to my nose. Mainly smelling the 'bergamot' (although interpreting it as orange), jasmine, other floral notes, and peach. It's such a stunning, feminine, fresh fragrance that isn't overpowering or harsh on any front.
- ✅ A fresh and sweet rose scent. In my opinion, it suits women aged 30 and above. I picture a loving mother enjoying bonding moments with her child wearing this perfume — a classy, caring ‘motherly’ scent.
- ✅ Very clean rose, almost soliflora. The peony note and jasmine are noticable, but doesn't overcharge the main star. Perfume conception is meant to be bright and sunny and it is.
- ✅ A lovely sweet delicate rose fragrance, quite fresh in the opening but dries down to a lovely warm sweet skin scent, not as strong as I expected but then that makes it so easy and inoffensive for all occasions!
- ✅ Such a stunning full bloom rose, it isnt made to be surprising or inovative... classicaly beautiful roses, boudoir powdery and romantic, a really soft trail that is refined and well stablished.
- ❌ Rosy, powdery fragrance. It's okay for offices and therefore do not expect to be able to detect it after an hour. Very weak performance, weaker than your usual skin-scent perfumes that should take number 1 on the podium of worst performance and projection. It does smell a little like ladies' bathroom. I know my review sounds more like a rant than anything else but there are fabulous rose fragrances out there and this one felt like a mistake. I genuinely regretted buying this.
- ❌ I ordered a little sample of this, hoping it would smell very similar to Rose Essentielle, but it was a complete let down. It smells like pencil shavings and very stale. Maybe mine was old. It reminds me of Stella McCartney (purple bottle), which I never smelled when it was still in production but bought a small sample of on ebay recently. So either both were quite old and had turned, or there is some type of rose that smells very old and off-putting to me, and very clearly of pencil shavings. Bleh!
- ❌ I bought this in an attempt to overcome my dislike of roses, but it ended up making me hate the scent of roses even more. Not only did I dislike it, it even gave me asthma. It was expensive, so I can't bring myself to throw it away. It's like a special grade cursed object.
- ❌ I got this as a present a couple of years ago and I honestly didn’t like it. It smelled like elderly ladies to me. Grandma vibes. It’s because of the rose. However I still have this bottle and I have worn it every now and then because I did appreciate such a nice and expensive gift. Now I’m a little bit older I have to say it has grown on me. I start to like it more and I’m wearing it more often. I like to layer it with Noble Blush from Lattafa to make it a bit sweeter and a bit more.. how do I say this. More suitable for younger girls and women.
- ❌ Weak Redundant Boring Not even worth trying It’s the kind of fragrance you buy from the supermarket A waste of time and money
- ❌ I got this because I can't find the Rose Essentielle anymore... This was close, not an exact match but it works for now. It doesn't last very long on me.
