Ferre Rose Gianfranco Ferre for women

I've worn this several times and each time I find it a little more interesting! I seem to be sensitive to woodsy, evergreen notes; what I get at first sniff is a very cool cedar note underlying the warm, juicy melon and pomegranate notes. Closing my eyes I have a vision of being in a garden pergola surrounded by fir trees just after a morning rain. The mist in the air holds onto that refreshingly green woody scent, and as the sun comes out so, too, do the rest of the notes of this fragrance!

I do wish it had more pronounced rose scent -- that said, the gardenia and orange blossom, which assert themselves as the melon starts to wear off, are very beautiful together. The rose is in there but it's not va-va-voom rose, it's much more muted and subtle.

As this dries down I still have that effervescent cedar scent tinted (and this is delightful!) with mandarin orange, vanilla and a lingering hint of the white florals. The dry down is my favorite part! This will definitely be one of my go-to fragrances for summer!

Somehow i can feel a hint of patchouli...:|

Ordinarily, an all-fruit opening line-up, including both watermelon and pomegranate, would be a huge red flag--or rather pink--evoking memories of some of the ghastly Victoria's Secret Secret Garden fruity nightmares. However, as a big fan of Pierre Bourdon's fruity-iris, FERRE edp, I decided to throw caution to the wind and pick up a bottle of FERRE ROSE, which was also created by a famous nose. What did I have to lose? Even if I hated the perfume inside, the bottle would still look beautiful next to my glorious FERRE edp.

As expected, this perfume is indeed pink. About as pink as they come, but somehow the fruits do not decompose and attract gnats, as happens when I attempt to don BEYOND PARADISE and similar synthetic fruity-abstract floral mishmash fragrances. In FERRE ROSE, the fruits retain their integrity and dominate the florals but in a cheerful not a cloying or sickening way. This perfume is nowhere near as nice as the Pierre Bourdon creation, which is more floral than fruity, and golden, not pink. Yet FERRE ROSE is nice for what it is: a balanced and wearable fruity pink (not rose) perfume.

It's not very rosy, but the rosy note is still noticeable. It's very fresh,little fruity and sweet. Nice and refreshing. Smells gorgeous on my skin. I really like this one!:D

not a typical rose fragrance,it's cool

can any body tell me this fragrance has the similar scent of which perfume,thank you

There's nothing masculine about this scent. It's very girly, delicate rose aroma mixed with the freshness of the fruits. It's not aquatic but I get some sort of watery feeling about it. From time to time it can develop a slight sour note, but generally it's ok. Quite linear though.

I got it together with the body lotion, and I have to say that it smells exactly like the perfume. The staying power (approx. 4h) is very good as for EdT, and if you add the lotion it's there from 9 till 5. Really good for spring and summer.

Watery fruity scent..very very light with poor staying power. Nice and refreshing...like pink shampoo. Not very special..at least not my cup of tea.

It's indeed a fresh watery floral scent. Good for summer/spring. A light non-headache rose scent.

Though I'll admit, the rose is not the standout note, I was very pleasantly surprised with this nonetheless - Perhaps because it is my first rose scent.

It is very fresh and airy and aquatic even, prim and proper and girlish. And the staying power is good, this scent definitely "whispers" and lingers on the skin for hours, which is a plus. Very nice spring/summer fragrance... I'd wear it with an airy floral print dress, or something feminine and fun.

I was looking for summery fresh rose scent when the shopassistant handed me some of Ferres' Rose and sprayed some onto my wrist.

Well, it's a light summery rose scent, but I have to say the rose is barely there and the summerey aspect is due to it's fruityness, most I got was the melon, some lemon and and some shy and barely there flowers. It almost didn't develop on my skin at all, watery-fruit-flower that morphs in the end into some sandalwood-vanilla finish.

It's not bad, if you're looking for something reminiscent of a fruity (pink) showergel go for it, it lasts pretty good, has a reasonable price and I guess nobody will dislike it with a passion. But it's not special or really rosy.

I don't get a rose scent here. Where is the rose? It's an aquatic , slightly masculine, scent from my point of view. There are many others out there like this and similar scents have been named already.

There can be quite a lot of Rose scents in the world. Ferre Rose is the kind of watery, tender and soothing. The top is sweet juicy melon, but never too sweet; the floral part is wet, light and soft. The rose is out there however to my nose it doesn’t really dominate, still the other flowers have their roles, at least, I can smell some fresh freesia. Overall, very well-balanced.

Ferre Rose is a safe choice on your first personal perfume, meanwhile it can be a pleasant one for workplace. It smells like spring! Given the reasonable price tag, likely it will be my next purchase.

This one is my at-work-scent (office). Soft, a little bit sweet, Love the rose in it. Not tooo sweet and not to loud. A scent that stays close to me. A scent that lasts - on me - for many hours. I tried D & G rose the one - but that scent is a lot more sweet and expensive, than this one. I think rose the one and ferre rose are similar to each other to 75-80 % when I wear them.

Very sweet scent without little rose smell,the fruit notes including peach and watermelon are very strong and sweet which make me headache for one day.It gives me the worst feeling of rose.

I hate this rose.

On me this opens as a beautiful, light, fruity rose. Promising!

It does unfortunately not have a strong sillage or staying power at all,
and after about an hour, the only thing left is the drydown that on my skin is shallow and sour.
Each and every time I wore this I got the same result,
short&beautiful opening, then ugly sourness.
What is it with my skin and rose scents?

So twice I also applied it on my t-shirt - it stays longer and gets much less sour, it keeps its fruity rose notes and only gets a little more.. watery.
Nice on fabric, except for the first 1/4-1/2 hour nasty& sallow on skin.

I have pretty much the same thing going on with D&G Rose the One and even worse Bvlgari Rose Essentielle.. pity.

Pretty, watery peach scent with floral compliments. It's quietly lovely, a scent of ripe peaches in a blooming water garden. Lacks obvious 'aquatic' notes, so it lacks jarring or harsh edges. Quiet, pretty pastels perfect for spring, though it is versatile enough for most seasons.

I tested yesterday: it is rich, sensual scent, to me a little harsh at beginning.
I expected to compare to another rose scent Paris and Paris varieties, but No way! Totally different scent, similar maybe to The one and The one rose. Nothing speciall to me. Staying power isn't strong.
I compare it at testing to Ferre Rose Princess which is too girly with some unrecognized fruits...

very nice, balanced fragrance. To me it is very feminine without yelling at all the people around 'hey i am a woman' and i love this! Discrete, classy. Too bad it does not stay long.

I love gianfranco ferre rose perfume it's great I love the smell xx

I thought that it would be similar to Ferre Rose Princess, but Ferre Rose Princess is a thousand times much better than this one.

When I sprayed it on me, i got a little peach and mandarin – orange smell. The rose smell seemed artificial to me. The flowers faded away almost immediately and the dry down… well, kind of bothered me. The lasting power was medium.

I guess this perfume is not suitable for me. I have given it many chances to like me but it didn’t work.

So, we took separate roads! Didn’t mind though!!

I bought Ferre Rose blinded when visiting Italy as there was no sample to be "smelled" at the airport. The box was just so lovely! Haven't been disappointed. Suitable for every occasion. At this site noticed other Ferre EdT that I have to try once available. BTW, does anyone of you ever use perfume at daytime? I think it is just too heavy in the office environment. Have a lovely spring everyone!

this fragrance has a very strong sour note that you get from the begining till end. it just doesn't dissapear. i personally don't get any rose from this one, meerely just fruits. it is a beautifull fragrance though and good for summer wear. but i must insist those of you who expect a overwelming rose elixir will be dissapointed. in that case you should try rose essentielle from bulgari.

I've chanced upon ferre rose edp and ferre rose princesse edp at the fragrance store in the mall.. I was very much impressed with the name and colour of ferre rose princesse. After i tried them both i think ferre rose smelled so much better than ferre rose princesse. The rose scent is pretty distinctive the instant u sprayed them. The later on the rose smelled creamy and light on your skin. If you're a big fan of rose perfume then this is the one for you-)

I love Ferre works.it has became one of my favorite Italian perfume houses.
to my luck,I first smelled the limited edition of rose which was diamond edition and then I smelled this one.these two are really similar.the same romantic,mild rose that explore your feminine side,without being annoying.this soft rose is well mixed with refreshing fruits that has made it even better.the exotic and feminine scent of peach and the fresh notes of watermelon that I really get.thought pomegranate is listed here too,I can't recognize it.
by the way the whole fragrance is floral,as it's categorized in the site and it's right.the floral notes are stronger than the juicy,fruity ones.
I think this original version is more suitable for +25 females,while the re-edition of diamond can be wore by every age.
to be honest I like the original version a little more,because totally I like fruitier perfumes.but this one is very delicate too.

Aww! It is so nice! Agree with Marianne, it reminded me of Touch of Pink only this is more delicate and juicier (thanks to watermelon :D). The top is very like florals + citruses with a watermelon which gives the juiciness. Nothing special so far, but it's nice, clean, inoffensive, for everyday to wear. I would happily receive it as present, but I wouldn't buy it myself. After few hours there are some flowers, still a hint of something citric and peeking thru musky base. It doesn't remind me Bright Crystal, it's more like Lacoste Touch of Pink but without any spices. It also recalls me Hippy Fizz for some reason, but I doubt it because smelled Fizz long time ago.

Ferre Rose is advertised as fresh and delicate, but I didn't get this impression at all. To me, it is without a doubt quite flowery, intense, warm and voluptuous.

There is of course no arguing that this is not the best, most truthful rose fragrance as such. So, if you're looking for something like a soliflore, this won't do.

Instead, in Ferre Rose you will find a rich, creamy flowery fragrance with great staying power and projection, to which a sweet edge is further added by its fruit notes.

Ferre Rose is clear, pure, simple floral scent for mature women. I like it for it is wearable from beginning to its development. Maybe only classic, but nice one.

Reminds me of Versace Bright Crystal... However, I like both fragrances, their nice flowery and fruity scent.

Personally, I can hardly find any rose. The fragrance is similar to the Escada summer scents and Morgan fragrances. It reminds me of Lacoste's Touch of Pink. Splashy, fruity and slightly creamy. But the fruity notes don't match the base. In my opinion, they should have left out the musky and woody notes. All in all, it's nothing special... From 1 to 5 I would rate it 3.

I will get this one in a few days time and then tell you about my experiences. I'm really looking forward to discovering the scent.

I don't like rose in the fargrance, but in this parfume so delicious. It's a fresh and fruity fragrance, with a little rose.

i like this rose. it is fresh and weightless. although, i would prefer such rosey note less undertoned by other floral notes.
