Rose d`Amour Les Parfums de Rosine for women

I guess I have to take it up for this gem! For my nose it s pure rose, heavenly rose , fresh, green, lovely and carissing rose.
I got not so much aldehydes in the opening (thankfully) but a little pepper in the opening and a sort of balsamic galbanum. In this opening notes the rose is still hiding. Then I smell a very prominent narcissus note that compliments the rose here wonderfully. A powdery iris comes next when suddenly a burst of fresh geen roses hit my nose! That s the most beautiful part for me :) In the drydown when it finally arrives (after one hour! on me) I got some oakmoss and vetiver notes which do not overpower the rose, no it s still a sweet now a little soapy rose scent. My favourite Rosine together with Rose au Bord de la Mer and Rose Flamenca!

My lowest score, 5/10. I didn't really get on with this one. First of all, I think I applied too much and nearly choked myself. Then the next day I applied a miniscule amount, but I still didn't like the overwhelming rose mustiness of it all. It's a quality fragrance, and well made, but I would only wear it out of doors. I could see myself happily using the soaps in this range, however.

Although giving truly natural feeling of fresh, just cut roses, it is overwhelmingly harp, soapy and aldehyd fragrance. it is green indeed as the color of the perfume's liquid indicates; grassy, cold, fresh and unpleasantly thorny.

Other than roses and aldehydes, my nose detects also a lot of pepper and oakmoss that both contribute the sharp sort of smell. It is very log lasting and quality fragrance, but unfortunately... this is not how I would perceive one Rose d'Amour.

Rose d'Amour smells as vintage as dated notions of romantic love-restrained, scratchy and bold, cold and soft at the same time...I smell a feverish dose of aldehydes smothering tiny tea roses-a touch or narcissus-and plenty of iris to make it soapy and clean as old-fashioned parents expect their children's romances to be...it's not completely sanitized and washed out-the soapiness is accompanied by a simple and pleasant green moss, galbanum and vetiver base-dry and lasting, not quite cold, but certainly not warm. Wearable, well-constructed, but not my style, not my thing-My favorite Rosine fragrances I've tried so far are Ecume de Rose and Rose Kashmiri.

Strong and very spicy, there is something very oriental about this one in the opening; personally I don't smell the aldehydes until the drydown, when they become strong. I love the top and middle notes much more than the drydown... perhaps it's my skin chemistry, but most Rosines turn soapy on me in the end... this one is no exception. It is however a very elegant soap, high society / noble rose soap... The oakmoss and nutmeg are present along with strong pepper; I don't smell any jasmine or berries.
Mainly, according to my nose, this is a very spicy, even woody rose, that turns to aldehydes and moss in the end; good silage and lasting power.
Would I buy an entire bottle? Nope, I love other Rosines more than this, my favorites being Rose Praline, Rose Kashmiri, Un Zephir de Rose ....
But it's a very interesting spicy rose, very very deep dark pink in my imagination, but not really red yet....
