Rose Essentielle

BVLGARI ROSE ESSENTIELLE was an impulse buy. I didn't really invest to much thought or anything else into it. I never even thought about it after the fact. Until .. I Ran out of the Juice. I was really pissed.I didn't even realize that it quickly became my go to perfüme. One of my favourites. BVLGARI ROSE ESSENTIELLE, You sneaked into my heart and made me unconsciously fall in love with you. I'm not the only one who missed the lovely comforting scent either. My husband did. He never noticed anything. If he does he doesn't mention it. After the Repurchase of my BVLGARI ROSE ESSENTIELLE fix. One day he said, You smell so good. I really missed that smell. I looked at him perplexed and surprised and said my perfüme?. He said, that stuff, is sexy as hell. I love it on you. He told me, Even his best friend always says, how nice you always smell after you walk by or leave the room. Man, your wife smells good. But, I can say it really does smell nice. Unfortunately, I didn't even realize how nice it was until I ran out.I really missed, that first opening spray of soft but deep juicy rose with that little zip of blackberry.I typically don't care to smell "fruity". The blackberry isn't loud or obvious. But,it adds this character and Elegance to it. Followed by an almost regal rose with a strong support of Mimosa. It stays pretty true to the first spray almost all the way through. It's a mature,elegant Rose. It's also clean smelling.(by clean,I don't mean soapy) It definitely exudes class. No doubt. The best way I can describe how this perfüme smells is, Ever feel a Rose petal? Soft, Rich, Velvety & Moist? ROSE ESSENTIELLE smells just like a Rose Petal Feels. If that makes any sense. Silage is moderate, even when I can't quite smell it anymore. Others can. Longevity is decent. I get about -five or six hours. But, I like my scents a bit stronger. {I'm notorious for reapplying a little more often than most.} This is one of those underrated perfümes for sure. It's a very classy,elegant rose with a strong mimosa background with just a bit touches of blackberry and others to keep it interesting and a bit different. But, without making it wierd. Really Really nice. *Like the one poster jmalone pointed out. Like her, I tire easily of scents. This one for some reason. I don't.

This is absolutely the best rose fragrance out there, hands down. I have a difficult relationship with rose. But this fragrance is my idea of the PERFECT rose scent, and I would smell like this all day, every day, easy. And this is someone who gets tired of fragrances verrrry quickly, and I find fault with a fragrance 99.9% of the time. So this is a rave review. I am not unsure about purchasing this at all, which is a new thing for me. There is the lovely powdery, clean rose-hip like nuance, as well as the lush, dewy, sweet mouth watering aspect of rose. It doesn't smell horribly synthetic, it's fresh and elegant at the same time, where I often find fragrances are one or the other. There are very few that manage to be clean and refreshing, while also being potent and unique enough to make you feel beautiful and well dressed. It manages to be youthful and light while also being quite sexy and grown up. Oh so feminine, sophisticated and romantic. Also, I usually find Bvlgari sadly lacking on the sillage side, but the sillage is absolutely perfect on this one. I used only a spritz on my wrist and it wafted airily around me all day in a lovely soft pink cloud of deliciousness. I really don't get the patchouli. I get mainly rose (the 2 aspects I described earlier), the fruity notes, and the elegant woods. The most prominent notes I think are perhaps the fruit notes actually. The blackberry lingers on and on. And in the beginning it is a little tart and tangy, blended with the mimose and rose. I don't understand how anyone could complain either about the sillage or longevity, because both are probably the best out of all the Bvlgari fragrances. Bvlgari tend to do very quiet, subtle fragrances, and this is the one that projects the most. It smells divine in the shower 8+ hours after application when the water hits it, and I can still detect it afterwards. Lingers on clothing for days afterwards. Once you start wearing it, it truly becomes a signature because you detect hints of the base notes everywhere due to its longevity, it sorts of seeps on to everything. I am eagerly awaiting my nice big 3.4 oz bottle! LOVE.

I could now say this is my signature perfume (until I find a better one, that is. Been searching for more fragrances too - since I suddenly had the urge to collect perfumes now!). Anyway, my nose is not detecting complex notes like some people here. So here's just a simple description for this lovely scent: LIGHT, FRESH, POWDERY ROSES. I do not get why some say this smells like their grandma. Does this mean your grandma smell sexy/powdery/flowery? I recently got a Coco Mademoiselle and I see a similarity. But I love the Rose Essentielle more. The latter takes me back to those salmon-colored roses that my boyfriend first gave me when we're still just dating, way back in 2010. Yeah, that's a long time - but when I smelled this, it hit me with nostalgia. The smell of roses is very natural! When I first sprayed this, I detected a hint of sharp fruity smell (probably the blackberry that some are saying?) But other than that, I could just smell the roses. Roses, roses, roses - which is a GREAT thing (for me). The drydown is superb too. Roses with another flower I could not decipher (maybe the jasmine?) Anyway, this is a long-lasting scent. It did not last long on my wrists since they're really dry (blame the weather). But the one I sprayed on my chest is still there after 19 hours!!! The sillage is not that good though :( :( So if you have suggestions on similar fragrance as Rose Essentielle with better sillage, let me know please. :)

First impressions of Bvlgari rose essential ..edp. Oooooh nice ! Very similar to pour femme but juicy roses are in background. (I have read it was a limited edition but don’t know how long it was made for) I’ve only just recently discovered Bvlgari perfumes and they are bloody lovely! Bright , boozy / HONEY SWEET rose , lots of violets, sadly not as long lasting as pour femme.. honeyed sweet is my cuppa tea / glass of wine lol,Rose Essentiale is sort of tangy sweetend yummyness. Original pour femme I grew to love first, so this version is lovely to me too. The rose is sugary and I wonder if berry notes create that, there is a stunning crispness, then after a few mins it becomes a touch woody, never loosing the violets and the blackberry gives a tiny touch of sharpness against the soft musk and powder, warm and sweet.... BRE is : Very pretty and feminine ! Able to be warn at work or on a night out ! Especially warm months. More violets than rosey, loveheart sweets with violets and rose ! Nothing like potpourri yet still a teeny tiny bit vintage ! Fruity tea rose violets , mimosa , and plush yet still innocent like a watercolour version of pour femme!... Love this so far.... yep I’m falling for this and big sister pour femme so much ! smiley face :) 8/10 2010 bottle.

I absolutely appreciate this scent , the heart of it is a total bouquet rose , violet and jasmine , with a slight fruity dry down of blackberry, and a slight patchouli liftoff . What amazes me is how a friend or a stranger can be wearing the same scent and I totally get different notes and the final take is not one I can say what you're wearing . I'm not shy to ask , you smell so good , sometimes I'm shocked that I have it also , but on me ,it smells like " my fridge needs to be cleaned out " , you know that , what can that be as you open the door. This on me is pretty much a straight up Floral , with a lasting Rose and a slight fruity musky afterthought . The predominate scent of rose lasts 4 ~ 6 hours where others can smell it , after that I'm the only one that can smell it , which is fine with me . I've also noticed that I can smell one time roses , the next more violets or patchouli , regardless of that fact , I think it has to do with the change of our body chemistry . Those are the scents I live for , although I tend to stay away from those scents on days I'm less than stellar in mood and chemistry , I can tell my scent mood must be a match or I get an overwhelming desire to go home and " look in my fridge " ~ /=^ } ~
