PG13 Brulure de Rose Parfumerie Generale for women and men

I love this fragrance. At first it smells like crème brûlée topped with raspberries and rose petals, but it quickly turns into an extremely unusual, irresistible fragrance. It could be that I've completely lost my mind, but this scent reminds me of original Revlon Flex shampoo, circa 1977. This doesn't smell like shampoo, however, but something about the zing of it calls to mind Flex. I haven't smelled Flex in 25+ years, though, so I can't explain the association! Something about vanilla, rosewood, musk, and cocoa must trigger Balsam Fir resin in my brain.

Just tried this amazing rose scent today very fresh rose scent that reminds me of a indian dessert that comes in blockes in different colours.
There is one which smells almost identical to the opening of this scent. it is that smell i have been looking for for a very long time.
i was brave enough to wear diptyque lombre dans leu to work which is marketed as a female rose scent, but in the end there was something that was not me, but it was close to what i was looking for.
Brulure de rose however is everything i wanted in a rose scent the sweet desert quality almost turkish delight smell. but with some other desert blended in. very clean and fresh at the same time. A fresh rose not is the main note in this scent and for me it is a unisex scent that women will wear alot but can easily see myself wearing this on a special occaisions. i do see this as a unnisex fragrance that leans toward the feminine side but only by a little, which is not enough for me to call it femminine. This is not anything ordinary, very refined. for men to pull this scent off imo have to really be well groomed and dressed. not a jeans and tea shit fragrance. If anyone is looking for a clean fresh rose scent than you cannot go wrong with this. i got decent sillage not a huge trail but it was flotaing around. and lasting power for the scent is 6- 8 hours.
men dont be afraid please try this one as well, and im the kind of guy who wears dior's farenhight.


Scent 9.5/10

Tooth achingly sweet. Less a scorched brûlée, where creamy sweet rose would have the bitter bite of the crisp burnt sugar to play against, more an infusion of rose, warmed gently in a pan with milk and mixed into a selection of confections. For me, the evolution of the scent, and it does evolve quickly and interestingly, was a study of the confections the rose is conveyed in, rather than the rose itself. Good quality white chocolate filled with raspberry pieces and lavishly flecked with vanilla and rose petals, candied roses imprisoned in sugar, roses buried under thick pannacotta or the brûlée that hasn't yet been burnt. And that's my gripe, the rose is constantly buried under it's confection, peeps out enticingly before being swept back under. Enticing can be wonderful ... but sometimes it flips over to frustration. Overall this is lovely , but not quite what it could have been if more contrast had been there to balance the sweetness, or to lighten the edible burden the rose is under that prevents the whole composition from truely shining. It gets a thumbs up because I like the idea, and it certainly entertains through it's progression. One to try, just for the fun of it,

At first it is a little bitter, like Manic Love by Neotantric fragrances, then it turns into Royal Bain de Caron with dominating rose. Finally it becomes a sweet rose-raspberry pie. I recommend this scent to sweet fragrances' lovers. It would be better if they put more raspberry here. And I think it's not unisex, it's a definitely feminine fragrance.

Rebella, I wrote a beautiful review and I absolutely agree with you.

For me it's not at all cloying, I even don't care about the notes (what is it cacao, raspberry?.. it's boring to counts and spoil everything). This fragrance should be inhale and understand as it is, an impression of dark sweet rose, mysterious, unbelievable and very real, a flower fatale for every bee.

It's like the time stops when you smell it. This rose is an attribute to a very beautiful woman, I instantly imagine Monica Belucci in Malena - virtue and beauty.

Umm..honey, cocoa, vanilla??? What and where!! I didn't get any yummy gourmands in this! This was a citrus powdery rose at first, and then as it dried down it got more powdery and reminded me of a rose scented soap. I don't think it's very good, but at the same time I''ve never been much of a rose fan. I do get a touch of raspberry musk after about 15minutes, but its sickly cloying to my nose and this doesn't in any way save the fragrance as far as I'm concerned. A whiff of cocoa came out after about an hour or so, then- the fragrance faded to nothing. This is one of the WORST-blended scents I've come across!
A minor note: This reminded me of Indult Manakara-though not nearly as strong.

Like roses dipped in sugar and powder. Im still trying to figure out if Im going to like it or not.Unfortunately I cant smell roses after a while but I suspect its all about my skin chemistry. Its not a kind of overpowering sweet perfume and I would recommend for people looking for unusual rose fragrance.

I can only smell a wee bit of rose at the start, and after that I keep smelling incense though it's not on the list. I feel like I've just walked into a shop that sells heavily scented incense sticks. This is a very heavy scent and very long lasting - more suitable for night use.

rebella, your reviews make me wanna try everything you suggest:)
Ok, here's my review. I am testing this fragrance right now. At the beginning there's a fresh scent of candies tickling my nose. It really has something similar to Aquolina's Pink sugar. But this period lasts for a very short time. Then the scent of roses appears. You know, the more I smell it, the more it reminds me the Bulgarian rose jam. The base is warm and sweet, it surely has the smell of sweet incenses.
I love the sillage of this fragrance. It is powdery and rosy. The staying power is great!

Beatiful and sweet, but I only get the rose from start. After a while there's so much musk, amber and vanilla (and all thing nice what I don't reconice), that I lost the rose somewhere in that soft cloud. Truly nice, but my search of "perfect rose" scent continue, I want my roses rich and juicy in a natural rose way, looking for quite simple soliflore I guess.

This is the most beautiful rosefragrance I have ever smelled. It is so true, so pure and delicate that it is like magic.

When first applied I can almost see a pale, pink rosebud in front of me surrounded by darkgreen leaves and branches... Slowly as the day warms up the rosebud develop to a rose in full bloom... Now the fragrance is stronger, sweeter and warmer almost gourmand... And so comes the night, the smell of the rose is weaker but even more sensual, aromatic and spicy.

The stayingpower in this perfume (as well as the others I`ve tried from PG) is amazing and this fragrance is so wonderfully put togheter that I culd sit with my nose attached to my skin for 8 hours or so... It is close to the skin, but still noticeble for others. I think this could be the most feminine scent I have ever tried. A perfume in the perfume, a masterpiece... I dont usually like rosefragrances so much, not delicate flowerfragrances either, but this is a flower perfum worth dying for. At least almost! ;)

A must try for every perfumelover on this globe!

(I have to figure out a way to get a full bottle of this!!!)
