Rose by Cardin Pierre Cardin for women

Very interesting fragrance, reminds me Y by YSL or Empreinte by Courrèges. This fragrance shows that supermarket fragrances are not only bad and cheap.

Ah, the reddest, richest last rose of summer! I found a bottle at a forgotten pharmacy on clearance once and find the bottle amazing.

The opening is green spices, mixed with vetiver. And then comes this large parade of heavy, rich red roses. Not the soft pink or white roses that are so common in everything else. The chypre accord of vetiver, patholi and oakmoss(unlisted) sustain the entire grand dame.

The other florals are lost in this sometime bitter rosey chypre that lasts all day. Damascena Rose lovers take note. Its not Chamade or Nahema. It couldnt be. It is more a country cousin that delivers the roses, indeed.

A classic!!
To me it´s like Idylle, Narciso Rodriguez EDT and City Glam. Wonderful!

I like this one and it's a classical for me . This is odd because i've always thought there was pepper in that , but apparently , there is none O_o , maybe i confused with Rosewood .
It's not discontinued in France however , i an see it every week at the supermarket where i make my weekly grocery shopping.

Just gorgeous. This was a blind buy based on reviews and research only...after I had asked advice about a "smokey rose" I'd been dreaming about. Wow. So blown away by its beauty and the way it keeps morphing, transforming throughout the minutes. Really wish I could find a larger bottle of this. I have a mini vintage and I will savor every drop of this precious fragrance. Soft rose emerges from the heady spices...later to reveal a beautiful sandalwood scent that almost resembles a sexual skin-scented rose...If that makes any sense. I'm in love...

wow! my grandmother sent me this one many years ago, I think I was around 17, all I can remeber was how much i loved it back then. The rose and jasmin are just so soft, perfect for a teenager .Then it drys down to a lovely musk and sandalwood. I wouldn't wear it today but it's a great scent

i've just bought this perfume....
Rose and Choc are my favorite Cardin's scents...
Rose is so floral with may rose and jasmine, lilly of the Valley, just great.

I like this perfume soo much , and I am really upset that it is no longer available in stores , I thought it is only out of stock in our region (Arabian Gulf) but when I read the above comments I realized that it has been discontinued all over the world
I really hope that as soon as possible it will be in stock :)

I finally got a mini vintage..:) This is really a stroll down memory lane and I now know why I liked it so much.

It starts off with fresh bergamot in combination with spicy coriander and cardamon. The rosewood is giving body to the top and easily merges with the heart, which predominant note consists of a big thick rose. The base of sandalwood, patchouli, amber and musk is kicking in quite early and dries down somewhat sharp, still with a bit of rose present. On me this it becomes a spicy rose which lightens up by the bergamot and is given more of a character from chypre basenotes. It softens down after a while and becomes a very pleasant frag, but a bit monotone. I'm therefore uncertain about buying this scent and for the moment pleased with my mini. But someday I may go hunting for a big vintage bottle.

this perfume is kind of special for me because the bottle reminds me of my childhood. it's was a classic of it's time. Loved by many women and men of course. Now it's a memory :)

Bitter roses... I don't knows why it makes me think of cherries... so sweet it hurts... reminds me of Asia Argento... not sure I can wear it, but I love it anyway.

Goes on a lovely fruity rose then dries down to mothballs on me. Pass.

I remember I fell for Rose by Cardin initially but as I got a rash on my wrist from it I gave it away after quite a short while. Therefore, my fragrance memory doesn´t work in this case: I can´t really remember anything about this scent notwithstanding its beautiful composition. I would like to smell it again and maybe today my skin is not so sensitive either? Unfortunately it has been discontinued and it is hard to find vintage ones.

They don't make it anymore, hah? What a shame. I had it when I was a teenager and it was the most beautiful smell, not to mention the lovely bottle. Such a lovely lovely scent!
