Pros & Cons
- ✅ Kiwigoddess 09/12/25 00:44: ... this fragrance is gentle on the rose, heavy on the powdery iris and almond, mildly sweet from the honey with just enough violet to give it a bit more oomph but still keeping it as a delicate composition. ... It's mild, classy, and easily likeable.
- ✅ mutatismutandis 01/15/25 17:32: Drole de Rose has an opening of rose, a sense of powderiness, violet, honey softened by almond, a little iris and an orange flower which appears after ten minutes. ... It's gentle, lovely and feminine.
- ✅ FragrantLeigh 10/18/24 20:04: ... Drole de Rose is a testament to the brand's storytelling artistry... It is 'vintage for today's modern girl', combining elegant feminine charm with a girlish, youthful spirit.
- ✅ For a rose perfume, this fragrance is gentle on the rose, heavy on the powdery iris and almond, mildly sweet from the honey with just enough violet... It has an almost calm and cosy effect.
- ✅ This is a lovely, powdery, vintage floral aldehyde. It's rose, aldehydes, violet, iris, powder, maybe a little musk.
- ✅ I love the way the perfume unfolds. Starts out a little green with airy violet and iris notes, eventually becoming very powdery where pink roses reveal themselves.
- ✅ It's the perfect balance of chalky, dry powder, honeyed leather, rose and violets with a sprinkling of almond for good measure.
- ✅ A cloud of Iris and Violets, and rose peeks out after several minutes for me. I didn’t notice the almond and honey at first, but after several wears I realize it’s just perfectly entwined with the florals, muting and subduing them into a comforting dreamy fog.
- ❌ hsiangchi.huang 02/17/21 22:40: I don't smell any floral... this is more of a soapy scent... If you're looking for a rose perfume, this is NOT it.
- ❌ aspirina 03/22/21 13:09: This is a classic floral powdery, somewhat soapy scent... It is very pleasant, but the rose note is not well defined... Weak in projection and longevity.
- ❌ Anamandy 12/05/20 06:23: ... Unfortunately, a very, very light baby powder... silage is really poor... This was gone in a little over 2 hours and is barely a skin scent.
- ❌ Unfortunately, a very, very light baby powder. Though I really like it I'm not getting the make-up powder scent I was hoping for... silage is really poor... This was gone in a little over 2 hours and is barely a skin scent.
- ❌ I get no violets whatsoever. Worse, I can barely detect this on my skin moments after I apply and what I do smell is like Coty Airspun powder sprinkled liberally on sweaty gym socks.
- ❌ I smell talc, musk, and dustiness, and the rose here does not blend very well because it is sharp and sour.
- ❌ It is very pleasant, but the rose note is not well defined. It feels more like an expensive fine cream or a product you would be pampered with in a spa. Weak in projection and longevity.
- ❌ I don't smell any floral... this is more of a soapy scent. Not women's powder, but SOAP, clean old-fashioned hand soap.
