La Rosa

Now that my bottle of this is quite aged, to me this is a cross between LVEB x Pink Sugar x Born In Roma. Love the actual fragrance. As for performance....nice projection from the start but the lasting power was not good at first. It took at least a year+ for me to start being satisfied with the longevity. Now it lasts very well but it took way longer than most to get there. For that reason alone I'm not sure if I'd repurchase. But since I really adore this scent I wish Armaf would update with an improved rendition (or even another brand make a better version). I had a review up at one point but it was heavily edited because I kept changing my mind about this ever so often. Looked at it a few months back and deleted it because of that. Just thought I'd now give a quick take on this. ;)

I have had both LVEB and FB and this smells just like the original LVEB...a 1:1 dupe. It’s sweeter than FB, so not a dupe for that one, but if you love LVEB you will love La Rosa. There is no need to spend the $$$ on the OG I decluttered my LVEB and FB last year, and then as spring got here I thought about repurchasing. I looked to see if there was a ME clone and decided to blind buy La Rosa...it smells EXACTLY like it...no maceration needed. I am not ready to repurchase FB, but will look for a ME clone if I get nostalgic.

beautiful composition....its said to be a clone of La Vie Est belle but i get Flowerbomb from it, but less powdery and less thick, more fruity floral...mainly blackcurrant and pear(ultra male pear note) and peach, suits any age and lasts a very long time, not quite as strong as edp strength but stronger than edt for sure...great bottle,great sprayer and very affordable....its another beauty from Armaf... 8/10 for me

Been having this for 3 month and i can say that it's like not love. It's more like La Vie Est Belle x Angle Muse-ish on me, not that it's not beautiful but i hope for more Flowerbomb. La Rosa is strong tho, it last 6+ hours even in a hot day. All i get in the dry down is musky nutella type of chocolate with some sugary rose and orange blossom.

At this point I just blind buy perfumes from Armaf, becasue i know they will most likely be great. It's super similar to LVEB, maybe not as lond lasting and a little bit less layered but still absolutely amazing, especially for the price. I usually don't buy dupes but with this brand i can't, they're just so good.

Armaf La Rosa resembles rose-litchi fragrances after it settles, but with a definite middle-eastern vibe. Rose is in the name and fragrance impression, but is not listed in the official notes above.

Wow this smells amazing!!! I can't smell anything that i dont like in this perfume. This is like LVEB but with a twist. The initial spray and the dry down are so 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

One of my favorite perfumes. It Smells expensive! Got compliments mostly from women, I mostly smell chocolates mixed in with flowers.

La Rosa is a chypre seduced by gourmand sweetness; stuck in a blase world of mediocrity. I've put this review off for some time now, because I struggle with what to say about the effects, or even affects, of that combination. There is a strange quality that emerges with that fusion. Almost a wet paint odor, like a new apartment smell: clean carpets and freshly manicured walls. I always giggle a little when I see pear listed upfront, because its never done quite right, and for the life of me, I'm unclear as to why not. With all this molecular movement - a synthesized world awaits, except for that damn pear note. We have squatted on the moon people, but the smell of pear still remains impossible and perplexing. Maybe that's the glitch in the Matrix; and at last, the limit of mankind. I'm not going to lie to you, those first sprays will have you thinking about your life choices, and what could be paired in redemption. Worry not friends and neighbors! Once the turpentine, I mean pear note fades, and wetness no longer lingers, deeper, softer, and much friendlier players burst forth. Sweet relief! I mean this literally and figuratively. For La Rosa, where the only rose is the liquid's color, has a buzz of saccharine in the presence of praline, mimosa, and ylang-ylang. Syrupy enough to make your teeth hurt, but a necessary balance to that opening twang. Every once in a while that sugar takes leave, and we get beautiful glimpses of the chypre beneath. Tuberose is a bit booming, but that darling needs volume to surpass any character beyond the faux fruit and hefty carbohydrate load. Its here, yearning for that vetiver and patchouli magic, that I begin reaching for higher marks. Then candy returns and breaks my trance. I see strong ties to La Vie Est Belle and Flowerbomb; and adore the fact that name brand pretentious prices could so easily be replaced by bargain bin sales. I would agree with the former conclusion mostly, in its likeness to La Vie. Ultimately, it is pleasant enough, but I foresee sickening sweetness in Summer's squelching heat.

La Rosa is another great value from Armaf. It opens bright and sweet with pear, pink-peppery bergamot, and springy white florals. It’s sweet, but not in a gross way (I don’t like sickly sweet fragrances) and very feminine. The dry down brings out the praline, tonka, hazelnut, orange blossom, giving it multi-faceted sweetness and a hint of gourmand appeal, though it is not a true gourmand, IMO. The florals remain pleasant throughout and work nicely with the more grounded undertones. This is on the sweeter side for me, and much more “springy”, but still enjoyable. Its also a big hit with my husband. I’ve read reviews that describe it as the lovechild of La Vie Est Belle and Flowerbomb. I have the latter and I don’t like LVEB very much, but I agree that La Rosa is in the same fragrance category. If you like this kind of scent but don’t want to wear the same designer frags as everyone else, La Rosa is a great option.

Imo this is more like a flanker from Flowerbomb rather than La Vie e Belle, and just because these perfumes are sweet and has patchouli i don't think they're smell alike. I always prefer Flowerbomb. La Rosa is like a summer version of Flowerbomb with a more pronounced fresh jasmine and orange blossom, it's sweet from the pear but also zingy at the first minutes from the bergamot. I can also smells tea here somehow. There's still patchouli in the dry down (but feels minty rather than musty), with less musk unlike the original Flowerbomb. I say it's wearable in a hot and humid day, and i agree-- it smells expensive. Sillage is great but the longevity is moderate. Still a good bargain i think.

I would like to mention one more think ... You’ve probably noticed how almost every scent here, too, is mentioned “smells like LVEB” or (alternatively, depending on the amount of jasmine)“just like an Alien”... Well, the scents of what I have had / I have to smell, this one has been the most close to LVEB, even closer than Lancome's La Vie Est Belle. I would throwing from the hip ...😉

Some floral ( it doesn't have rose but feels like little bit Rosy) mixed with chocolate 😋 .. amazing perfume by armaf though their some more grt gems by armaf .. Note : if u don't like rose don't feel worry bcz rosyness is not pronounced in this as also not in their notes as well

Nice. LVEB and Flowerbomb. Not exactly one or the other. But both. Some where in between the two. Moderate silage, good longevity. Definitely worth it. Save some $$$ if you like V&R-FB or LVEB fragrances or those types of scents. Its definitely a good buy.

IT is a La vie est belle dupe. A little bit more fruits and a hint of rose. Not As intense As LVEB.

This is a mix between flowerbomb and LVEB, more towards flowerbomb. Overall: 8.5/10

This was a massive blind buy fail for me. The only notes I got were bergamot, rose and jasmine. Listing so many notes doesnt really make the perfume great or wearable. It was an alcoholic, super generic, chemical mess. All I got was some very basic feminine leaning notes in a jumble that didnt make any of them stand out. Got it for my faves (OB and Tuberose) and the gourmands listed (praline etc.) and none showed up. Armaf barely does women frags well.

This needs to macerate! When I first got it, I was so bummed about it because I was expecting a La vie est belle dupe but got a heavy duty hit of bergamot. It was so bitter and strong, like biting into a literal bergamot. As it sits in time out, I’ve had it for about a month and it’s gotten better. The dry down is just like what I was hoping for. I love fruitchoulis so much and the patchouli is amazing in this! I’m glad I didn’t declutter it right away.

At first I was highly repelled by this scent and thought it was super synthetic and headache inducing. After a while, I smelled it again and it felt like a whole different scent. It’s true when people say with some fragrances you have to let it sit . Idk what changed but yes I can also see how this is a cross between LVEB and Flowerbomb. I wouldn’t say it has high projection but it does have a decent lasting power like 5-6 hours.

People say is similar to Viva La Juicy... it does in paper, but, in skin is way different. Wood, rose, sweet, is lovely, versatile, you can wear it anytime. Performance, sillage, enourmous, great quality for the price. Go for it, dont be afraid, wont regret it. There are perfumes low cost with better performance than the expensive ones, and this is it. Also Eternia from Armaf.
