Ode au Reve Yves Rocher for women

I was lucky enough to get this discontinued gem at a very good price. It starts off intense and complex, with a fresh burst of floral and woody notes. Then it settles to a creamy, smoky, melancholic and introspective scent that sits close to the skin. It is definitely a winter scent and I can easily see it worn by men as well.

I find it strikingly similar to With Love by Hilary Duff. The difference lies in that With Love is sweeter (as it has some fruity notes), has better silage and longevity, but overall it has the same creamy, woody quality.

I got a purse spray of this is a swap and I must say this is wonderfull. It is incredibly similar to Gloria by Cacharel wich is a favourite to me. There is a lot of sandalwood but it has to have some kind of liquour in it too, it smells a lot like amareto, like Gloria does. The top notes are glorious and they stay for a long long time, but unfortunatly after the top notes the scent disapears in my skin, it lasted probably 4 hours. But I must tell you that were 4 hours of beauty!
Smoky, woody, sweet...uau this is a really good perfume. I love it!

Bring this beauty gain Yves Rocher!

Sillage: Good for half an hour.
Longevity: +/-, 4 hours has I said

9.5/10

ooohh....I love this. I won a bottle on Ebay, it seems to be rare. I purchased because I am a huge fan of Sandalwood. It does open very strong, definitely LOTS of Sandalwood. A very unique scent, the strength of scent settles, however, it doesn't change much. Sandalwood and Jasmin are most present. Musk is next, then incense and vanilla. Very unique, that's really all I can say...and earthy.

Update: This perfume is strong and so different that it can keep you wondering what you really think of it. All I can say is as it settles into skin it is beautiful and I can't stop smelling....yummee!!

This was too fresh and harsh for me. I found it very masculine.

This I have discovered again. I bought a mini on E-bay a year ago but it was left unused on the shelf. I found that the sandalwood was too dominant. I tested it again recently and it is as if the smell comes out much better now. Even the vanilla and incense that was not so noticeable earlier is apparent now on my skin. It is a very nice perfume that I will use this spring.

i have full bottle 50ml size unopened to sell or to swap, anyone interested?
i love this fragnance and i was wearing it a lot, but i just hate this thought i can't buy it anymore so i'm looking for something new :)
perhaps someone else would enjoy it much more than me :)

I had this fragrance for the first time for my prom night and I love it since then. Here in Bulgaria, Yves Rocher is available in the stores.

Guess what: I've stocked up this one really bad (the bath gel, two body lotions, EDT, EDP, elixir de parfum, and just want the solid perfume now),ALL BASED IN THE BOTTLE!!! Yea, that´s right! I was looking for a "perfect perfume" at the time, one that would be delicious without being overpowering, and would have real not plasticy smell without being too mature. So a friend of mine from college was selling Yves Rocher (here in Portugal,catalogue sales only)and I picked what seemed to me to be the most ballanced of the Odes. And the choice was made, I repeat BASED IN THE BOTTLE! I wasn´t let down. I used the perfumed lotion on a trip to Brazil -hot/wet weather- and it was enough to make me smell great. Must agree, though, that sillage could be better...

Thanks to lovely Juma I have a chance to enjoy this fragrance again. I can't be without it and I'm going to treasure the bottle I have for a long time..I hope:) Have to use it sparingly, or try to find another one as a back up. The staying power could be better, but anyway..this is my love!

Action, you are an INSANELY GENEROUS NUTTER and I love you for that.

I will sleep in an evening dress while wearing this scent.
So, anyone out there who does not know this one:
A dreamy, goodnight scent for a real princess.
A princess that lives in a castle in the woods, the only season in those woods is autumn with heavy fog - use your imagination and you know what it smells like.

Tschiepchen....
All good things come to those that are patient and generous...
I think you fit the bill PERFECTLY!!
SO I think it is coming real soon...somewhere this week even!!
:-)

Yesterday I have been through my empty bottles and found a mini of Ode au Reve.
I opened the lid and smelled it and it was sooo lovely...
Concerning the top notes of this perfume I am with Jillzilla.
I, too, can smell something fruity (not sweet!), maybe blackcurrant, but my guess would have been a bit of blackberry and maybe a bit of waterlily or even lotus before I got any sandalwood.
The sandalwood is the most prominent note and I only got a bit of jasmine and incense.
Still, the jasmine and incense make a wonderful contribution to this fragrance and the vanilla rounds it perfectly.
The liquid is blue but the perfume is not blue at all.
The name is well chosen, I need to say, as I can perfectly picture Ode au Reve being a princess's bedtime fragrance.
I regret that I never bought a full size bottle.
YR discontinued it before I had the chance to snap this little treasure up.
Maybe, one day, I'll find one.
Wish me luck! ;-)

Since I like woody scents, incense and musk I thought I will adore it.
But something is missing, it is to simple with masculine character... but anyway I like it.

i like this fragance, i really do, sadly the sillage is poor, it last very little on my skin and the design of the bottle is so poor.

I absolutely love this one. Sweet and unique. Collegues were asking me all the time what perfume I'm wearing. Just too bad I can't find it anymore.

Notes on the missing green bottle Ode La Vie:

A green floral fragrance with notes of bamboo, cyclamen, galbanum, violet leaf, Virginia cedar, sandalwood and musk.

In the top notes, I thought I briefly got something tart and fruity (remniscent of black currant). After a few minutes, the fragrance settled into a vanilla incense musk, and it's not until the base notes arrive that I get any sandalwood, which actually becomes quite prominant on me. In the end, it is a light vanilla-sandalwood combo, which is pleasant enough, but not something I would reach for due to personal tastes.

That being said, the progression of notes was interesting, even though there are only a few notes listed. I would say this is definitely for sandalwood lovers.

interesting , irresistable, sexy special fragrance

What a beautiful sandalwood fragrance! I love that its opening notes are mostly sandalwood instead of in the drydown, which is where you usually have it.

Sometimes I find sandalwood too dry, but this has the perfect mixture of jasmine, vanilla, and musk in its base to keep it balanced. To me, this is a sexy fragrance, yet still mature and well-rounded. For a unique, elegant lady who is non-traditional in her femininity.

I love it! :)

I haven't worn Ode Au Reve in years, but I've always loved this fragrance. It opens with the gorgeous Asian sandalwood and as it settles you get a good smell of floral jasmine. The drydown is what I enjoy the most. The musky vanilla and incense smells so warm and inviting on my skin. This Asian elixir is so comforting and refreshing and it should be worn during the colder months.

this one is a little bit oriental and has a vanilla and musk drydown.

It's a warm and calm oriental, with a light vanilla drydown and very comforting, I think it's ideal for winter.

Special fragrance with sweet notes, so elegant and long lasting.
