Rose Ispahan Yves Rocher for women

Absolutely stunning! Hands down my favourite fragrance from Yves Rocher. This needs to be brought back exactly as it was.

I had it long time ago, and it was my signature perfume. I simply loved it. But now, my taste has changed and I don't think I could wear it again. It is simply to strong and sweet and oriental for me now.

I don't know what happened here. My aunt bought this for me and before I removed the lid the color was already dark. Is it supposed to be dark? Then I opened it and the scent was like stale old ladies and cat urine. Perhaps it was very old when she purchased it. Now I use it to deodorize my trash bins.

Deep vanilla with powdery rose on my skin. A bit amber, so I can stand it.

I would expect better longevity and sillage.

I miss this fragrance, but fortunately it seems that unopened packages stay stable for a long time (unlike some others, like YR's Ode de Joie which I also miss terribly). I opened a new bottle purchased recently on eBay and am getting as many compliments on it as I did back when Yves Rocher was still selling it. It's very feminine but with a richness and sensual gravity to it. Am trying to work up a similar fragrance from essential oils.

When Yves Rocher switched over from father to son, the fragrances really went downhill and many favorites were immediately discontinued. None of their more recent fragrances really do it for me, and I don't get compliments on them either. Very sad, as for years they were my secret weapon.

Despite the name and bottle shape, I don't smell any connection between this and the original Ispahan. It's not a terrible scent, but to me it smells just like red cordial! If I squint my nose I can think of it as a rosy vanilla smell - but the association with cordial is just too strong :-( The scent stays that way over time, too. So glad I just bought a mini!

Ispahan is a kind of light pink rose, huge with more petals than usual. It has a soft scent. This flower named after its region, Isfahan (formerly Ispahan), a famous city in middle of Iran and used to be the biggest merchandise and science center in the Middle East during Seljuk dynasty.

I got this perfume yesterday and I'm beginning to love it. It smells so wonderful of creamy roses that wraps around me and make me feel so good.

I'm not so fond of rose perfumes but this one and another rose perfume from Yves Rocher are both so wonderful.

Update!
This perfume has become one of my favorites.

thanks action :-p it sounds very intersting now i know this

Lucifera, the strength of this perfume is enormous. It has a real killer sillage and staying power!

I adore this fragrance! It has the most unusual scent! While it is true that sometimes the rose can appear to end up lost underneath the other scents at first, if you are patient the rose slowly wends its way up and out and you will start to notice it now and then, peeking out. It's not really a "rose" fragrance, despite having rose in the title - or at least, that is what I've discovered; yet roses are indeed growing in that garden. To me, this is a desert garden, the flowers growing there hardy and not given to ostentation, saving their energy for staying alive rather than flaunting themselves with strong scents - so the spices of the desert rise in the wind, and underneath that, we get the hints of flowers sneaking in. I can't think of any other way to explain it! It's a pity it isn't available anymore ... unless you can find someone who had the sense to stockpile some and is now selling the little bottles on eBay for %40 or something :-)

This Rose is definitely one warm sweet deep spiced oriental vanilla masterpiece !!!Wearing this travels me to the desert ..red rocks and beige warm sand !I get the image of Petra's Palace in Jordan!
This perfume is my best of rose !
