My all time favorite perfume is Chanel coco mademoiselle. I absolutely love that perfume. It is very classy, elegant, feminine and glamorous scent. But sometimes I need something light. So I purchased Rose Essentielle. And it is perfect for spring/summer and you can wear this to work/school. Nothing too overpowering or strong. It smells really pretty, soft and feminine (not girly!). I wear this perfume when I am stressed out. Because this scent is so calming and comforting to me for some reason. Also I wear this when I feel extra feminine and laid back. I pair this perfume with a very soft pink feminine and light sweater/cashmere/cardigan. And in the summer time, floral/skater dresses and wedge sandals or flats will make a perfect combo for this perfume. For make up, dewy and glowy foundation, a little bit of highlighter and blush, mascara and a light pink lipgloss or lipstick will be great addition to that feminine look with this perfume. Last but not least, pretty curls and sexy VS hair will make this look even more pretty and feminine

I've searched for months to find a more youthful "sweet rosey" scent.... and finally believed I found it.... The description!... the notes!... the pretty pink bottle!.... so completely perfect!.... Until I actually tried it on last night at Sephora. I felt like I couldn't wash it off fast enough, but suffered through a couple of hours to hopefully see if the various notes would settle any better. Ughh... Not good on me, at all. Actually putrid... like burnt honey or what I don't know. I am still in shock and will make due with Stella for the time being, which is as close to my perfect rose as I can get.... for now.

**This Bvlgari's fragrance is a beautiful bouquet of various sorts of rose. Together with the fragrance Voile de Jasmin it accompanies the re-launched edition of the classical Bvlgari Pour Femme in a new design.

Two kinds of roses – opulent and deep Turkish rose and rose Prelude with pure, greenish aroma – open the composition. In the heart, the fruity notes of blackberry are softened with delicate violet and jasmine trace. Sandalwood and patchouli make a lingering and sensual drydown. The fragrance was created by Beatrice Piquet in 2006. The bottle in light pink color repeats the shape of classical Bvlgari Pour Femme.

THE BEST PERFUME OF ALL TIMES. Really classy and expensive so I don't wear it every day. You really can't go wrong with any Bvlgari products

I was looking for a rose perfume but this is much to monotone, its just rose I cant notice any other notes at all and because of that, to me it smells like a room freshner. I think I must look for a rose which is noticable but has been intertwined with other flowers
It lasts all day but I notice that after a few hours of sniffing it Im getting a headache so Im going to wash it off
Thank goodness this was just a sample

I bought the EDP in the charms/purse spray edition. Sprayed it on my wrist and sensed it insist, insist, insist itself oh so gracefully on me. It is not a shy rose, nor is it a daring rose. It is elegant but haughty. Aloof but ready. A rose for me. :-)

Very lovely rose scent. Not too overwhelming. Just pretty.
It's soft and subtle , I even love a spritz before bed
I hate the bottle- awkward to spray
I wish it had a bit more staying power, but maybe that's just me

Edit- update. Loving this still. I do find the scent lingers longer than I thought. It' is a fragrance I get complimented on more often than others.

I was searching for the perfect fresh, natural, dewy rose.
YSL Paris felt a bit old fashioned.
L'occitan 4 Reines and Rose by Roger & Gallet dissapeared in a few minutes.
Stella by Stella McCartney and Very Irresistible Givenchy had more peony than rose IMO.
And there was mainly freesia in Femme by Hugo Boss and too much patchouli in Coco Mademoiselle.
Chloe was too powdery.
Rose The One by Dolce&Gabbana smelled a bit off and sour on me.
Parisienne Yves Saint Laurent had the cranberry note I dislike.
Tresor In Love by Lancome was pretty but a bit faceless.
Moroccan Rose by The Body Shop had more spices than I would like and Cassis Rose wasn't fresh enough.
Amor Amor by Cacharel was too fruity.
Rose Absolue by Yves Rocher was too sweet and Jammy
I couldn't find Rose by Paul and Red Roses by Jo Malone was soliflore, not so interesting.


So, after a long search I tested Rose Essentielle! Lo and Behold, this is it! Not pure rose, but rose is the star here! There is a distinctive non sweet juicy berry note that gives a fresh modern playful vibe and a background of well blended violet that makes it even more dreamy and elegant. It's a soft scent, not a flowerbomb. And very springy, optimistic, well mannered and ladylike.
One lipstick missing because it would be perfect with more lasting power.
But overall it's an extremely natural and interesting rose. It's not intended to be old fashioned neither edgy.
I would call it timeless, a potential wedding day rose.

I've recently come into a sample of this, not expecting to care for it much, but I'm surprised by how much I like it. I'm mostly a sample hoarder and will only take the plunge for scents I truly love, and I think I may actually buy a bottle of this.


I typically gravitate toward darker, bolder & even slightly avant-garde perfumes, but I work in an office environment, and my typical haunts can be overpowering in that environment even with light application. I also dislike most "clean" scents because of the prevalence of citrus.


I don't get any fruity sweetness on my skin and rose notes have a tendency to smell too sour or green on me. The first spray is a bit artificial smelling, but the scent quickly morphs into a barely-there rose backed by a dusting of faint woods. It's a slightly lotiony scent, and my first sniff of it reminded me of Jergens body lotion. Occasionally, the scent of a pink rose will waft up from my wrists, but this is mostly a "your skin but better" scent for me, and it seems like a warm cream color. There's maybe the tiniest tinge of green notes that come through on me.


Overall, I find Rose Essentielle to be warm and inviting. I'm going to wear out my sample before deciding on whether I'll go for the full bottle.

I randomly spritzed this while in Ulta and at first I liked it, although I didn't smell much rose in it (the rose in the name of the perfume was what drew me to it in the first place). It started smelling very familiar as it dried down, because it became sweet, Iike cotton candy. Upon reading about this fragrance's notes on the Sephora website, I realized why this smelled so familiar - it smells similar to YSL's Parisienne. So if you're looking for a rose fragrance, this isn't it, and if you already own Parisienne, you don't need this.

As everyone else has said, this is a very pretty, feminine scent. I love it, although it can be a bit too... innocent for me, at times. Sometimes I wear it on it's own and it's quite lovely, but other times I want something a bit darker, so I layer it with a heavier rose-based scent, and the combo is wonderful. I got it online pretty cheap, so I can't complain!
There's something almost champagney about it. Bubbly. Glamorous.

One of the most classically feminine fragances out there. It truly makes you feel beautiful and elegant. It has amazing lasting power and the smell gets even more pleasant after a while. All flower (and very subtle wood), no powder, near perfect!

Notes: Ottoman Rose, Blackberry, Prelude Rose, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Violet, Patchouli.

A very classy, feminine rose fragrance. This does have an artificial smell to it, but it fades after a little bit and the perfume turns into a more pure rose scent. Patchouli is not very noticeable. Very pretty, old-fashioned feel from the supporting violet and jasmine combination.

ETA: After more uses, I noticed this perfume is a migraine trigger for me. I am getting rid of it.

I finally, finally find a pretty rose perfume that doesn't smell sharp and vinegary, and I'm allergic to it. Every time I sprayed even a whiff of this on my clothes or in the air to walk through it, my throat would start to constrict. Sadly, I had to let it go.

I've been seeing bottles this and some other things in the Bulgari line at the discounters frequently. I picked this up for $32 a while ago, and today I saw The Rouge and Voile de Jasmin there for the same price.

One of my favourite parfumes. It is very close to "the perfect rose scent" i am looking for. It is not pure rose though, it has notes of wood and musk. Very feminine and classy, works for both day and night. I always get a lot of "you smell nice" when i use it. I got it first at Marshall's for 25$, but after the bottle was over i purchased a new one for the full price. It is totally worth it.

To me this smells very much like Bulgari pour Femme with more rose. I really like this fragrance, shame that it's limited edition though.

This is probably the most classy perfume I own. Most are sexy with a woodsy masculine edge. This one is pure femme. On me its a pure, clean rose without a lot of interference. Very nice for wearing a pretty dress on a summer day. Personally however, I prefer Stella for roses.

I tested this out for a good month or so before buying, which is a first for me. As I don't really go for rose fragrances. I prefer citrus or darker amber fragrance and hate anything sugary or sweet with vanilla, however I really like this. It's not too sweet or powdery but manages to be light, with the blackberry giving a nice slight sharpness. The staying power is pretty good for this EDP, with the dry down on my skin smelling similar to Narcisco Rodrigues for Her oddly enough!

I spent quite some time researching a rose based fragrance that would become my own. The rose holds a certain allure; it possesses the romance of the 1920's and 1940's. I have this idea that the grand dammes used to wear this in the day.

I researched and I sampled and purchased Rose Essentielle. In retrospect I do not think this properly exemplifies the rose. It's an overly chemicalized version. I have spent some time sniffing and researching essential oils and this does not bear a close resemblance to the aura of the essential oil.

I could not wear this fragrance over the summer. It becomes overpowering on me. Maybe the winter months will fare better? I spritzed some on a minute ago to rehash any emotional responses I may have. It's ok. I'll keep looking for my ideal rose.
