Reverence Princesse Marina De Bourbon for women

When I was 16, I spotted this at the little store in the Palace of Versailles. I don't remember it smelling "green", but it did smell nice. I wish I could smell it again.

A rather rare brand in my country, it doesn't really rank among the cheapest fragrances in shops. Nevertheless Reverence is a nice musky floral.I don't detect any green notes. To my nose plum and rose stand out the most on a soft musk background which gives it and elegant and somehow classic aspect. It lead to an imminent comparison with Ferragamo's Incanto, which however is a lot more opulent with peach and sandalwood. Reverence is a more reserved alternative cutting the epic peach, if you find Incanto a bit too much. Good lasting power and sillage, but somehow unintriguing.

I have to admit I bought this perfume because someone said it smelled like Perceive Avon, which by the way, is no longer marketed in Brazil. I liked the scent and now I could find one like that. It is a sweet perfume, soft and discreet as I like. The bottle is something charming and desirable. I love it.

Very lovely perfume. It is a very soft and sweet floral. However the excitement is short-lived. This is a good scent if you don't want to be noticed. This scent remains very close to the skin and it doesn't last long at all. I can't say its a favorite of mine but I would definitely purchase this one again if the price is right. I like it but don't love it...

Nice,very nice floral fresh with some citrous in it ,so I love this fragrance...

At first trying I thought I had seen/sniffed this before. Then, after a while, the name that came in my mind was Eau D`Eden by Cacharel. Reverence, however, is floral while Eau D`Eden is fruity and fresh. The dry down I get the sandalwood and the musk, despite sandalwood is not in the pyramid provided by Fragrantica. Sillage is good and staying power around 6 hours in my skin. Not buying a big bottle after my 7 ml miniature is over because I did not fall in love with Reverence.

I love this fragrance and I have looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it before. It is a very fresh fragrance and there are no spicy and sweet notes.It is an aristocratic old fragrance but modern and young at the same time.Irresistable perfume, I love it. It really deserves a reverence.

Bergamot is present through the first phase and became subtle until the drydown. Smells soft, fresh and inoffensive. I found it a lil bit similar to JLO's Deseo Forever but Reverence has that fresh, almost green like jasmine smell that I love which DF doesn't. Silage is moderate and the staying power's great up 8hours+ on me.
Lovely bottle :)

Reverence by Princesse Marina De Bourbon is a nice sweet scent, smells like wet honeydew, very natural. There is no spicy, woody or powdery notes detectable.

Proper for every day use, good for any informal situations, it will never annoy anybody at anywhere. Summer could be the best stage for it to show romantic and tenderness.

The bottle looks divine, also designed with a hint of playfullness. Contrary to the name "Reverence", the perfume itself is quite easy to approch.

I wonder who this Reverence (Reverence in english=a deep bow) is aimed at, since it is so exceedingly inoffensive as to be barely there.
Its is rather "nice" - the ultimate damn-it-with-faint-praise adjective - in a fruity flowery kind of way, but it lacks the majesty, the plain old "oomph!" to cause me to humbly bow.
Like all of Marina de Bourbon's bottles, Reverence's container itself is gorgeous. The juice however has very tightly spaced sillage - I can smell it, no one else near me can. It seems to last well, about 8 hours. Alas, these are the unexciting statistics for a pleasant, if ho-hum 6 out of 10 fragrance.
Wear it to the office and Reverence your boss, if you wish, or buy it for the pretty bottle, but don't expect anyone to bow deeply to *you* when you wear it.
Unless they see that faboo bottle...

One of my inofensive loves, wich surely attracts compliments. So I use it quite often when I am not sure what I want to wear. I love the magical powderiness about it, It seems so simple but so well done. Unfortunately my nose gets numb to this fragance some days and all I can smell is bergamote (this hapens to me with other fragances also) Other days I can more notes for the whole day.

I really have to say this is much, much, much better than Pink Princesse, this one is so much more elegant. It also literally made me imagine of baroque dressing rooms of french princesses and queens! This isn't too "chic", nor too "old" so I think almost everyone can wear it.

The name "Reverence" suits this perfume so well! Not only elegant, but royal too indeed. Marvelous. Feminine, but it's the femininity of a strong woman, who is well loved and respected.

I think this perfume really deserves more love and reverence. I was quite shocked when I found only about 10 reviews of it... Guess it's really hard to find??

Great fragrance! Sweet and juicy, bright and very feminine. It reminds me just a little bit the original Marina de Bourbon, especially in the dry down, but Reverence is younger and sweeter and there are no spicy notes. It is very hard to get indeed.
P.S. Staying power is just great, next day my scarf still had a very distinct aroma of the fragrance.

I found this perfume when visiting France. They sold it in Chateau de Versailles gift shop. It made for a great suvenir it smells so elegant but not overpowering. Great everyday perfume.

I like this fragrance very much. Why haven`t I seen it before in our shops in Russia?

Bought this on a recent trip from the USA to Russia,loved the notes but find the staying power is poor in comparison with other favorites of mine like Kiss of the Dragon for example
This is very hard to find so I will use bottle I bought and see from there

Nice and comfortable. An everyday fragrance. I wear it when I go to the office, for example. It's not an 'invasive' perfume. So, you can enjoy it without bothering your co-workers :)
Really elegant.

A very nice & soft smell, but no lasting power at all :o{

I loved Eau de Lys. And so I tried this one which is even better! It is a very rich smell, can't describe it exactly, but my first associations were with Versailles and baroque, before I even saw the advert for the fragramce. The fisrt stage is the bergamon, but then you feel like if you were sitting in a garden full of roses... Really worth buying if you're into floral fragrances...

This perfume is great-smelling, but it doesn't last an hour on my skin!

I can't wait to try this one. perhaps, someone might already give a commnet on reverence. :)
