This rose is on the opposite of the spectrum from the ironically titled 'Portrait of a Lady'. I can't help thinking Frederic Malle was having a giggle with that one, because it is the embodiment of...

I can’t believe I enjoy Drole de Rose by LAP, but I do. The note line-up really isn’t my cup of tea, but I’m finding it delicate and charming. 1) Violets (Green grass and wet cement). 2) Iris...

After testing multiple times, I found "Drole de Rose" sour and soapy. It is not pleasant light powdery. It is more sweaty sour. I think it is leather and iris notes do not mix well on my skin.

If you have it in your mind that Drole de Rose is going to smell like a makeup bag or very high-end type of makeup. Then that is exactly what it will smell like. I like to imagine Drole de Rose...

Meh. This is kind of pretty. I am wholly unimpressed with l'artisan fragrances overall and this is no exception. I was expecting a powdery soft rose fragrance. Well the rose is barely discernable....

Though there have been many, many wonderful rose releases over the past few years--most of which have gained love from this once non-rose gal (Lyric, Mille et Une, Ta'if, Coup de Foudre, the JHAG...

I first smelled this when I was given a sample of it at the L'Artisan shop. I was a bit surprised at first. It was a very unusual scent. Nothing like I sniffed before. It grew on me and I used a...

I love roses; and I equally love violets. You can see that I was immediately captivated by Drole De Rose! And after I read its description in L'Artisan webpage (a little daughter watching her...

This is a warm, soft, musky red rose floating in a bowl of cream. There's a subtle cedarwood tang, at least for the initial half hour. Drôle de Rose always reminds me of luxurious makeup from times...

Pretty, happy little rose mixed with a baby lotion type accord which makes it wearable for me. I'm a rose hater and this is the only one I've EVER liked. Whimsical and feminine and upbeat. Not...

My goodness, isn't this lovely stuff! Fluffy and sweet, Drôle de Rose makes me think of Sofia Coppola's movie "Marie Antoinette." Yes, I know that a lot of people turned their noses up at that...

This is really my favourite fragrance....I love the smell, powdery and soft. It's not like ordinary rose...something in it makes me calm and happy.

A nice composition that evokes makeup and fading flowers, neither of which I find very uplifting or inspiring. Much too sweet and dry for my tastes. Although I still think this is pretty, I would...

Oh my, this is so pretty! Drole de rose is feminine without being over the top, in your face. The composition is slightly sweet and fresh with just a hint of powder. I have terrible allergies...
