Rouge Royal Princesse Marina De Bourbon for women

Gave it to my girlfriend as a valentine's gift. She always love strawberry, and ylang ylang was the flower from her childhood that she like the best.

To me this is one strong frutti chypre that turns out pretty lovely.

Não, definitivamente esse não é pra mim,não combinou com a minha quimica em nada.Quando seca fica cheiro de algo plastico ,artificial.A abertura até que parece ser um pouco melhor,mas depois fica muito desagradavél.

It was at a local beauty counter and i ended up paying $19 for a big bottle...the lady said it a french line and when I sprayed it... it smelled really nice...flowery with a sweetish top note...I don't know if it was my skin but it smelled good I think...my brother and husband both said it smells classy...so the botttle is like a red shell and it is beautiful...The discount the lady gave me like half off..she said people from Canada purchase it more than the locals...yes thumbs up for this...oh hust a note it smells in the family of Nina Ricci so it smells light and it not a overpower smell but never heard of her scents till the lady at the perfume counter....

This fragrance is a very rich full bodied scent that is so well blended that I can not pick out individual notes in it, but the impression it leaves behind when wearing it is one of divine nostalgic decadance!
It brings to mind childhood days of family holidays filled with winter sights & scents. The windows decorated with bright colorful lights, while the pine tree is sparkling with tinsel and twinkling lights. The kitchen scents permeate the home with baking cookies while the hollyberry and bayberry candles drip melting wax into little scented puddles that delightfully set the entire mood for the season.
Those are scents that stay with you forever, and that is what I get when wearing this perfume. Mmmmmmm....I love it!

This fragrance is the favorite of a large number of women here in Brazil. It's sweet, juicy and fresh. Rouge Royal is a juice of strawberry, a juice with ice cubes.

Mi primera impresión: pensar en jugo, pero no en algo muy artificial, no es un olor que te golpee.

Es bastante agradable,lo malo es que su olor no me dura mas de un par de horas,pero para su precio creo que está bien.

i realy get a lot of lime from this at first blast. it reminded me of old spice lime aftershave. now that i've had it on for awhile it's a subdued citrusy/sweet floral perfume and really quite nice. dosen't last too long or project strongly when dried, but i actully do like it and would consider a full bottle purchase.

Like others noted the top notes are quite pleasant, but once it settles on your skin it turns into a synthetic mess. It does a good job as an air freshener though!

This perfume has a very woody, spicy quality to it like sweet Chinese spices rubbed on a cedar tree.

This is a great one!!! I am really happy with it. It is really special for evening and nights out, and it leaves a great impression. If you want a sophisticated fragrance without the powdery effect of the majority of the elegant fragrances, this is the one. The only observation I got is that you have to use it wisely (a little) in pulse points.

I like this very much - just wish it lasted longer. I expect an EDP to be stronger & last longer; this one doesn't. I'm glad the price was low.
However, I might be somewhat glad that it isn't stronger because normally, oak moss & ylang ylang are horrible on me. Thankfully, that's not the case in this fragrance. It's nice and feminine and good for all ages, but the red bottle and the word "royal" don't really fit the scent.

Headache inducing factor: 3/10 (unlikely)
Office appropriate: 9/10

One of my favorites. I put an eye on it a long time ago and for some reason left it on the shelf, without buying it. In my search for the perfect floral fruity new love, Rouge Royal suddenly came to my mind. It's a love potion in a bottle. And a beautiful one, I'd say! Lemony sweet strawberries, yummy strawberries which surround you the whole day.
It is not cloyingly sweet, but the strong strawberry note definitely gives it a sweet character.
I'd wear it any time of the day, it's soft and inoffensive and yet people do comment about it.
Can't stop sniffing my wrist now, my new fruity love.
Yum!!!

At first it smells like delicious oily strawberry, very similar to Avon's strawberry lipgloss. I though I found something really unique and great, but after some time it turned into a plastic smell. I'm not saying that this is a kind of an artificial smell, I mean real plastic. Don't judge it by the first smell. It ended up being an ugly smell.

This scent is sweet fruity floral, with intense top notes, but very short life ;o( Yes, I feel strawberries and they are quite appealing. It's not unique and royal, but nice scent for young ladies, who want to smell yummy fruity.

Mmmm….Strawberries…lots and lots of red and juicy strawberries.

ROUGE ROYAL starts off with strawberries mixed with a lemon, like a refreshing strawberry lemon sorbet. Then it becomes a bit sweeter like a strawberry jam. At one point it smells just like a delicious strawberry bubble gum. I was addicted to the strawberry bubble gum as a child and bought tons of it just for the scent and this perfume brings back those happy memories of my childhood. The scent transforms into a lighter, watered down strawberry juice with lily of the valley and jasmine in the heart notes. I do not detect much oakmoss in the base notes on my skin. The base notes basically smell on me like a diluted strawberry juice, very light and pleasant.

I have to admit that the strawberry note is sweet here and borders on a delicious bubble gum at times. But to me it just smells yummy. I would not say that it is a sophisticated scent but it is certainly adorable and carefree for summer days when I am in the mood to smell like strawberries.

I bought this perfume as a blind buy, encouraged by its many positive reviews; But I was disappointed when I finally got it. It started with a very strong blast of synthetic-smelling notes which quickly died away. No wonder it was cheap. You're much better off spending more on higher quality perfumes which you won't regret buying.

I am absolutely in love with this perfume! It smells soooo good! It lasts and lasts on my skin. It gives off a really loud and strong burst of strawberries and lemon, which smells divine on my skin. As time passes, it becomes more subtle and soft, I think because of the oakmoss...but quietly its still there.....I love it!!!! I couldn't stop smelling my wrists. I think this will be a good Spring/Summer fragrance if you love fruity florals. You don't have to break the piggy bank with this one either. It is very affordable. I only wish I could see inside the bottle. I won't be able to tell when I'm getting low on perfume without shaking the bottle up and taking a guess. Trying to get those last few sprays out of the bottle without being able to see it, should be interesting. Oh well, I will definitely repurchase this one once I run out!! I have already added Reverence to my collection and I am waitin on Marina de Bourbon to arrive in the mail. I am excited about trying other Princesse Marina fragrances, but this will always be my first love.

I just received this from Perfumania. I love the scent, I only wish that it had more staying power.

This perfume is probably the only one in my collection of perfumes that you can actually detect "wild strawberries" in it.
The strawberry note blends in with the lemon to make this almost tart-ish type of scent.
The initial burst is really juicy and bright, albeit somewhat artificial smelling.
The only thing that is a little "off" in this perfume is I suspect the resin and the oakmoss in the base that some might say gives it it's sophistication and uniqueness (although I don't think this scent is very sophisticated at all).
I do have a problem with this scent though, because when I smell it for a long period of time i feel like regurgitating for some reason...so I end up not wearing this that often.

Really sweet fragrance, I loved how it stayed in my skin, I usually use it in the summer. It's not noticeable when people are passing by you, but everytime you receive a hug or someone gets close you can be sure you're going to be complimented =>

just got this perfume today..a very girlie perfume, sweet, really sweet..but i love it..and my friend begging me to sell my perfume to her :)

Confess that first of all I fell in love with the bottle, and in my fantasy there was a thick red liquid inside...I did not crack it to check. What I found after spraying it was a delicious hot sweet strawberry syrup spicied with crushed lemon peel. But it's not just as sweet hot candy. The moss gives it a kind of sophistication. It does not last too long. I like to wear in winter, I feel it warms us. P.S: I usually get more men compliments than women's when wearing this one...and it's not expensive. (Good, isn't it?)

This one is nice, I like the strawberry lemony but basically that´s all I can smell.
Sillage is poor and lasting is weak.

I start using this scent as soon as the days get sunny. The strawberry opening is delightful and giggly but the lemon and moss prevent it from being cloying. Not the single most sophisticated perfume in the world but a delightful daytime fragrance and the price is delightful also.

Really liked the opening on this one. The intial blast of wild stawberries and lemon is very appealing but the drydown just didn't do it for me. Not a fan of moss in perfumes and this is no exception. If the basenotes were a musk or maybe a wood of some kind then this perfume would have been so much better. Oh well.

I have a sample spray and it says ...Fruity, Floral, and Oriental...well, yes, all true. I liked the lemon in the top notes, the black currant and strawberry blend together to be just fruity and sweet. The fruity notes stay around during wear. I see my three favorites-Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Ylang Ylang-but I could not sense them in the scent-seemingly abscent-or all mashed in together and covered up by the with the syrup and sugar. The perfume started out very strong but faded quickly. It is quite artificial feeling. Wish the perfume was a bit finer, to really experience the creatorś nice choice of notes.

Lovely and potent summer nights scent, which starts out fruity but (on some chemistries) quickly turns to the more resinous side, almost chypre-ish (oakmoss?), even a little woody.
Because of this turn to the resinous, it may be one of the only "fruity" perfumes that can be worn all year.
Unlike many scents in its olfactory family, Rouge Royal lasts very nicely, has great sillage, and is more "seductive and elegant" than "fruity and flirty". Definitely a siren's version of the floral/fruity perfume genre!

I LOVE it! The sexiest smell ever! It is sooo one of a kind, just adorable!! I never wear it during the day, this scent is only for intimate and romantic occasions:)

I've been wearing Rouge Royal for a year, it became my signature scent and my love for it keeps on growing!

My favorite! wherever you go u followed by trail of sweet, soft a little bit lemony smell. i always get compliments when i wear it, and it makes me feel confident and sexy. btw, it is very long lasting, perfect for day & night, summer & winter. I just love it!

An interesting fruity scent that is very juicy and perfect for summer... it's almost your typical fruity floral, and almost completely girly. But just almost. It manages to stay unique, barely. There is a lot of lemon in the beginning with strawberry, and the dry down has some florals (not sure which ones, might be the ylang ylang) and I smell the black currant the more it dries down. It actually smells a lot like the Ed Hardy fragrance for her, but better. Unfortunately the dry down on this smells a bit plastic-y. I like Rouge Royal, but I don't love it.
