Rumeur (for women)

At first, I thought it is very liquery, alcoholic. In fact at the first top notes you get a blast of alcohol. But later it opens up as a very nice, elegant, sophisticated fragrance. I have got many compliments since I’m wearing it. It smells strong under my nose, but other people find it a very light fragrance. I like it better in the evening thou.

It’s nice perfume, but I prefer more complicated scents. I think they’ve put to much Lilly-of-the-valley, so it became almost the only think I can smell.

Terrible. Magnolia top-note, then it develops into a biting stench.
Very similar to Ange or Démon by Givinchy (just as bad).

drydown seems oldfashioned to me, I like the beginning - hmmmm magnolia

The top note is all acetone all the time to my nose. I like the dry down, but I can't stand it in the meantime. I gave it several tries to be fair!

I loved this in the store when the the sales associate tested it on me. I typically don't buy scents on a whim, and like to get various opinions tester trys before I commit. Perhaps it was the bottle (I love the bottle and the ring/handle top) and the effusive gushing of the associate; but I got suckered. It it more floral than I typically go for, but has a nice musky undertone. My biggest complaint is that does not last past the first hour of wear. Big disapointment.

Finally, I got a bottle of this, and now I'm just testing it. On my waist it's rather strange, I can't decide wether I like it or not, but spraying the normal amount on other pulse points close to the heart, it's very nice! Only for those who love floral-woody-musk scents, of course. Jasmin dominates the frangrance, and it's really powdery a bit, but also happy, joyful and still elegant. I agree, it's not for teens anyway.

its a very powdery, and a bit elderly scent in my opinion, which i like though.

Would somebody write a review on this one? I'm very interested, many negative comments I read, but I can't believe a Lanvin, a Kurkdjian can be that bad....
Thanks!
