Bvlgari Rose Essentielle Eau De Toilette Rosee

Rose Essentielle L'eau de Toilette Rosee (as it states on the box) is a scent of fresh roses and patchouli. It's ultra feminine and delicate. The patchouli note stood out to me from the first whiff. It gives an earthy and sophisticated feel. It mixes pleasantly with the soft, sweet roses. This perfume has very simple components, yet it's not lacking depth. The violet note does not stand out particularly, but gives it a delicate powdery note. Very elegant! As this perfume wears on my skin, the bitter patchouli note dissipates, and the scent gets more subtly sweet. At that point I detect a hint of fruit. Orange and bergamot are the notes listed here, but I think blackberry is more accurate since I don't get any citrus note from this, and blackberry is listed in the original EDP. I also don't smell any other flowers than rose in this. Jasmine could be there, but probably mixed completely into the patchouli. The musk is not strong but ever-present here. It rounds the perfume, gives it a warm, sensual feel as opposed to the earthy greenness. This perfume is fresh, but not crisp, unlike Paul Smith Roses. The latter is more of a simple, innocently crisp rose. It's also earthier and more tuned-down than Roses de Chloe. It reminds me of L'eau de Chloe, another of my favorite rose-scented perfumes.They share the same patchouli note. But the rose note in Essentielle is fresher and closer-to-real. L'eau de Chloe has quality of the Chloe EDP, which is a rich, ambery, vintage rose. To me, Rose Essentielle is the most elegant and sophisticated out of all. It requires some taste to appreciate. I love the scent now, but I remember hating it the first time I smelled it two years ago. I couldn't handle the patchouli in there. I was more into Paul Smith Rose back then. As an EDT, the longevity is beyond my expectation. I can still sniff it after 5 hours. I think this is the best line of Bvlgari perfumes. I also adore the Mon Jasmine Noir and Mon Jasmine Noir L'eau Exquise (No one does jasmine like Bvlgari!). Also, it does smell like Vera Wang Truely pink! Which is also an amazing scent. :) :)

I have always been a huge fan of Bvlgari's even since i have come back in to the fragrance scene. They never release a dull fragrance, always refined and accurately tuned to smell very rich and smooth. Roses are obviously the centerfold to this delightful creation, held up so tenderly by the other accords. Almost as if the other accords are sacrificing the virgin, youthful and sweet rose to God himself! Roses are one of my most favorite fragrant flowers, besides jasmine, and orange blossom. I remember my mother and grandmother when i was a child (4-6) taking me to this far away place where there were flowers, knick knacks for your home and food made-from-scratch. This place was called "Ashcombs" and we would visit it once in the spring, and once in the fall to get all sorts of different seasonal flowers for my mothers garden, and food for my endless appetite for savory delectables. I also remember specifically (when i wasn't running from the hungry, greedy bees) taking the time to gather the fragrances from many different flowers into my nostrils. One in particular that i would always vist over and over before we left was the rose. So soft and tender, the sweet rose was very pleasing to my young nose, and smelled very sobering in a cool early june breeze. The woman that wears this fragrance surely is well spoken, humorous and seductive, everybody loves her, and the people that don't, completely envy her. I approve Smell: 10 Longevity: 9 Sillage: 6.5

The perfection of this rose scent is astounding. After smelling this one I will be forever spoiled for any other! It is to me what catnip is to some cats; I would love to roll in the stuff. It sparkles, yet it's gentle. It's clear but muted. There is a hint of spice but it's rosy. It's got a distinct personality...and I think it's me! Since I love it so much, I don't mind that it only lasts about four hours on my skin because I'll enjoy re-applying it. Edit: I would like to add that the patchouli note in this is integrated into the fragrance in a completely smooth way. It works beyond what I would have expected. Fortunately, I didn't know what the notes in it were when I smelled it for the first time. This fragrance has complete harmony with no jarring notes to my nose. Smelling it on my skin is like listening to beautiful music. I have received many compliments while wearing it.

I loved this EDT so so much, it's light, sweet rosee and fresh, airy like, as if iam flying on soft clouds -- but it is like a deflated balloon, it is not long lasting. The 100ml bottle is massive and heavy so there is no way i will carry that in my bag to reapply every few hours. I thought i was smart - I went off and get the EDP hoping that it would last longer. Well, EDP truly last well over 6 hours. OK, i feel very bad when i say this, but this EDP is strange, it is like cat pee... sorry... it is that weird. Why the EDT is so different to the EDP? To fix this cat pee error, i sprayed 1 of EDP and 5sprays of EDT....well, that will fix it ...temporarily... until the EDT is gone... i smell like cat pee again...argggg..... seriously, i will give this EDP away, and will only buy EDT in future.

I bought this one as well for my best friend for her bday last week, and it absolutely complimented her to no end! My best friend is a very big rose perfume wearer, and her queen of scents is of course Lola. But when i had her open this perfume and spray it on herself, it was like a different kind of heaven to what Lola provides. Love the smell of roses and that orange blossom and jasmine, even though you can just smell them, still compliments the rose, giving it that boost of feminine it needs, the powdery musk when it hits cooling off and drying down was sensual as well. In the end, it ended up smelling kind of like a musk stick and made me want to eat her wrist, but it was still great! Another great blind buy from myself, and im glad i got it for her! 9.5/10!

Love the smell but I also wish it would have better silage and longevity. Nothing worse than loving a smell but it doesn't last on your skin. Does it stay longer on clothes maybe? What brand of great rose smell has better longevity and silage? Edit: I have since bought this as it was hugely discounted. I have worn it now a few times and still smells great. I have found that its longevity is better than my initial test. It lasts 4 to 6 hours on average. It is a fragrance you can spray your clothes to extend its life. Love it. I still think the stronger the better. I think all age groups would like it as my teenage daughter likes it as well as my mum but its definitely not as some say "old lady" or "sickly sweet girly".

To me, this is a fresh rose scent with a glimpse of a tea note upon first spray. However, as I allow the perfume to develop on my skin, my body chemistry causes it to transform into a warmer and sweeter scent as the base notes of musk emerge. This transformation is what allows me to use this perfume for all occasions; it is an easy transition from work to night, from spring to winter. Bvlgari Rose Essentielle EDT is a perfume that radiates elegance and luxury. It is undoubtedly feminine, albeit more refined than conventional sweet scents. I believe that this perfume would be suitable for all ages, however as it develops rather differently with different body chemistries, I would recommend testing before purchase.

I generally do not like rosy fragrances. So I wasn't interested in this one when I saw it, but my mom loves roses so much so I bought it for her. However, from the second I smelled Rose Essentielle, I'm in love with it. I can't stop sniffing my mom when she wears this :) The sillage is pretty good and powerful, and it lasts! I put it on yesterday afternoon, and I can still smell it. It's not overbearingly rosy to my nose, beautifully -and indistinctively- blended with jasmine. It awakes a happy feeling and is suitable for day, though I'd wear it at night too.

To me, this is a very subtle scent. I feel I can wear it with lotion with a little bit of a scent (currently Olay Shimmer, which smells very clean). I don't know if they just work particularly well together or what, but I've been getting so many compliments every day on this. It smells very clean, very rose. Almost smells like, when you're wearing it, YOU are the thing that smells good, if that makes any sense. This was a blind buy because I saw it for $10 at a discount store, and I generally love Bvlgari anything.

I absolutely love this. It is my first time trying Bvlgari, and I love rose - this scent is unique. It smells of true roses and I always get compliments from men and women when I wear it. A lot of people have said it doesn't last very long, luckily on me rose scents cling well to my skin. Throughout the day I get whiffs of myself and think "woo!" It smells romantic and delicious and feminine.

I love Rose Essentielle (EDP) so i have to try this. This is very similar to EDP. They share the little sour Rosy note that i like. EDT is more fruity, have quieter silliage and shorter longevity. But it can be used in Winter, just like EDP can be used in Summer. I think it is up to individual taste, whether they want a 'bigger' or a 'quieter' fruity rose. I love both and have to have both.

This perfume was gifted to me on my Birthday from my husband. I really like that it is a light rose scent that is youthful and fresh. Perfectly suited for day time wear. On my first time wearing this I was taken back a little by the initial musk scent and this reminded me of SJP's lovely but this settled quickly and the beautiful rose and bergamot scent started to sing. Gorgeous.

My mom bought this for me, and what an excellent choice. Initially on me it smells very lemony (my husband compares it to lemonade) but then it quickly settles into a baby soft, dewy rose. Longevity & sillage are about average (my only quibble is I wish it was a little better.) But what a stunning spring fragrance, and now I'll be cheking out some of the Bvlgari Jasmine line.

I love this scent, its in my top 5 favorites. I have been wearing this to work and was told that I smell 'expensive', which I took as a great compliment! I have been wearing this on hot summer days, and unlike a lot of other rose scents I don't find the sweetness sickly or overpowering - its very very fresh smelling. If applied liberally this scent will last all day on me.

This was my first perfume, it was a gift and will always be very special to me. I love how it smells like a big bunch of dewy roses straight from the cool room, and how it can be delicate or HERE I AM depending on how you wear it or the weather (I personally love it in summer, just one spray on the chest/neck).

I am another who is disappointed that the scent disappears so quickly. I prefer the edt to the edp in terms of scent. The edt is all round softer, lighter, more joyful but sadly vanishes in under 2 hours. I may try spritzing my clothes instead of my skin? Because it is a lovely smell t have around.

I thought I had tested this one but it must have been the EDP. I think I need the more woodsy base. This is fresh and pleasant but not quite strong enough enough to satisfy my rosey sweet tooth. It is doing a disappearing act in this humidity. Hoping it will fare better in different weather.

I buy this yesterday, i never expected such a GEM OF PERFUME, i never smell rose in this lovely way, i couldn't stop smelling my hand, is really really eternal. am just waiting to go somewhere on a trip, to use this peace of art, so i can always remember it, when i smell this perfume. 10/10

I have been fortunate enough to get a second hand bottle of this discontinued gem. However, I am also in absolute distraught to have fallen head over heels over Rose Essentielle. I love the sparkling wine boozy side to its rose. I hope to get a bigger bottle in ebay soon!

The most romantic fragrance for me and yet with a very well-shaped personality. An intimate, close-to skin fragrance, that works so naturally to the body chemistry and warmth! I guess it's the combination rose-jasmine-musk that makes it such a natural skin fragrance!
