Splendida Rose Rose

Agree with user Kinomeow's review below, this perfume is amazing sprayed on your attire. Great complement to a powerful feminine 'boss lady' look. It lasts longer that way compared to only spraying it on the skin (my technique is to spray a cheaper less powerful vanilla or moringa scented body mist on my skin to complete the scent). This perfume's smell is lovely, powdery and powerful without any hint of teenage princess over-the-top sweetness or mysterious lady in the night velvety kind of smell. The single middle note of damask rose is delicious without smelling like a cloying floral bath. The dry down to the base notes of patchouli and musk keeps the scent lingering on your clothes just enough that other people can smell it in close proximity (in an AC office environment, I cannot attest to outdoors longevity).

I’m surprised this one got so many negative reviews. I loved it from the first sniff! It seemed that the silage was weaker until I’ve started putting double amount of sprays than I usually do. Yesterday I wore it to work and I still could smell the sandalwood and trace the pink rose after 7 hours. I find it a very nice feminine perfume and I just love it’s subtle rosy powdery character. It’s gorgeous! EDIT: one minus for the product – my bottle started leaking somehow and the perfume is evaporating little by little. But I’m, going to buy a bigger bottle soon anyway, cause it’s gorgeous and it is working. I work in a place where I meet many different people and absolutely always got nice admiratiob while wearing this scent.

Beautiful. It opens on me as a lemony fruity rose scent. I actually grow some roses with this fruity smell. Uncanny. Who knew the juicy fresh blackberry note would go so well with rose. There is also a little juicy natural sweet orange. It is a light and creamy scent. The musk is soft and lush. Further down the timeline and you can just about detect a touch of patch and Vetiver. A wonderful, sparkling, grown up rose scent. My only disappointment is the weak longevity and sillage.

i love this perfume! it’s womanly and feminine but not immature. i normally avoid scents with powdery accords but the one in rose rose is really nice. i don’t get much blackberry or woody notes but the rest of them i 100% can smell behind the strong and consistent rose scent. i could see anyone of any age wearing this! it’s a really perfect spring scent. my only complaint is that it’s got pretty intimate to moderate projection. decent longevity too, if not a bit disappointing

Amazing!!!, if you ever thought that rose essentielle was too powdery and somehow a little dated, this is the best option. Its a modern take on a rose centered edp, but remaning bvlgari classic, so delicious because of the blackberry note in the opening and so comforting due to the soft slightly powdery rose you can detect throught its entire existence. Finally youll feel in this expensive amazing rose cloud wearing it. Great proyection and longevity.

Very delicate and feminine pink roses with a hint of musk. So wonderful light roses fragrance. Like Rose Essentielle. I like it:) If I didn't have Rose by Paul Smith, which smells very alike, I would buy it. Yes, I think that I will but it later. So tender! The best pink rose I've ever tried in fragrances. My favorite from the line.

My skin does not enhance feminine perfumes . Sometimes I try but I can only destroy their beauty . This is a wonderful subtle rose on my woman's skin.

I love this parfume so much. So elegant, mature, sexy and beautiful

It’a controversial perfume and I can tell why now. But I am at the like side. After having it for 9 months I finally can write a little review for this one.At the first I hate it. I couldn’t find any rose and it really doesn’t smell pleasant on my skin..But I bought the 100ml one and I like the way it looks ..so I still use it time to time but i only spray like 1 or 2 times .And it really disappear quickly. So long time don’t know what I was wearing 😅 And like 3months later I change my strategy which is spray 4-5times on textile...And it really nailed it .it smells splendid .And I feel extra happy ,sparkling ,flattering and I do want to yell loudly “Oh Rose rose🌹🌹”Although I can’t smell it on myself well..But people can smell it when they are close to me. And I got compliment every time.So I agreed this one is not good on skin but it’s a secret killer on the second body ..when a woman wear a soft texture outfit..it’s a lovely ,kind ,sexy but not that sweet type one.it’s not a typical candy sweet rose princess like figure..the scent is crispy and fresh and a bit powdery. the personality is famine ,bright and friendly (or say it can bring this part out). In conclusion,It’s not a bold and loud fragrance BUT if you dress/look like already bold strong enough and you would like wear something to balance it ..well Rose Rose is the missing puzzle in your collection.

I do not usually go for rose kn a fragrance as it often makes me feel older and more conservative than I am, especially paired with musk, woods, powder it can easily be suffocating. So I am not so very familiar with rose centered perfumes. However this seems to me a perfect act of balance, portraying the scent of a rose or rose water rather than rose oil. This without turning into ozone or calone freshness land or sacrificing projection. It is tender but present.Lovely and romantic. As for longevity I usually do not have problems and it stayed on until next shower so at the least not one of those that disappears very fast.

Fresh, light, citrusy-rosy scent. I was expecting more on the rose side. It is a nice, feminin, happy fragrance, but not a groundbreaking one, probably the weakest one of the Splendida line. Plus side is that it does not get soapy, remains crisp, fresh. Unfortunately silage and longevity is nowhere. It fades away after max 2 hours, which is a quite disappointing considering the brand and the price tag. I bought it after testing at the airport - which is the last time I did this. Is it only me that most perfums smells lovely at the airport duty free and at home it becomes totally different?

At first sniff it appeared 'meh' to me, but when I tested it again I understood that this is would be a very easy daytime pick for spring and summer. It is a fresh, simplistic and non synthetic smelling pink rose, which is not overly fruity nor overly sweet. Many rose perfumes these days are not even about the rose - it is lychee, some red fruits, citruses and then the rose. The official website states mulberry amongst the notes, which is present in many Bvlgari perfumes. Mulberry adds this sophistication which is present here, nevertheless it is almost rose soliflore. Really pretty!

Hm... This must be a very body chemistry dependent perfume. Rose Rose is a beautiful, natural smelling pinkish rose (not deep red). A little powder, a little patch and spice. Some fruits to lift the mood. Very beautiful and natural smelling! Sillage and longevity on me is huge and also on paper - I tested it on Saturday and am sitting at my desk now, wondering what smells so good. It was the strip in my bag! :) Apart from Goldea and Omnia Paraiba I love all their scents :) If you like Stella you might also like this, I think.

The scent of Bvlgari Rose Rose is nice and elegant, but nothing special, like other Rose perfumes like Paul Smith Rose, Chloe Roses de Chloe,... they are all 90% identical Roses. If you've ever tried Rose Essentielle, you may be disappointed. I see this as a step backwards for Bvlgari, but if you like Chloe Roses de Chloe and want a similar scent that lasts longer, then try Bvlgari Rose Rose. Chloe Roses de Chloe has a better scent, but longevity is bad, so you can use Bvlgari Rose Rose instead. Rating: 7/10, quite boring

This is a freshen up version of Rose Essentielle. Both of them are amazing but they're giving totally different vibes. This one is very soft, clean and light. It makes me feel like walking in garden of blooming roses. I can smell berry and patchouli blending in it, too. Unfortunately, it's not last that long on my skin. However, this is one of the prettiest day time rose scent.

I almost wanted to give it away but gave it another try. It's so beautiful when sprayed on my clothes, but on my skin it develops less sparkling, fresh and sweet and therefore more sour and musty - in one word: disappointing. On clothes it's such a delicate elegant soft blooming rose. Perfect for spring. I will keep it and remember to spray it only on textiles ;)

This is very very light fruity rose scent. I'm afraid, it doesn't have much of a sillage. Pleasant and nice, but kind of boring as well. An everyday fragrance, but not marketed like that. It should be more fancy, considering those bottles and the fact that it's Bvlgari.

A rather generic, uninteresting rose. Not bad and certainly not offensive - maybe meant for women who feel they are not sufficiently dressed up without some kind of a perfume, but who are not interested and actually probably do not even enjoy scents.

Fresh, light, citrus, clean rose scent, subtle and lovely. Delicacy in a bottle. I like it very much, but it is too jammy for me. The bottle looks just great.

A sugared berry rose. Pleasant and elegant. Love the name and the bottle. Rose Rose reminds me a little of YSL Parisienne.

Blooming roses. I find it a bit stronger, but very similar to Pure drop of rose by DKNY.

This smells so elegant, very pleasant

Never thought I would give a rose perfume anything less than a 'like', especially when it comes from one of my favourite brands like Bvlgari, but here goes... I'm so grateful I decided to get a 1.5ml sample before buying the bottle. In my country, this specific fragrance sells at $110-$150 so it's quite an investment and a risk (for me) to blind buy it. Being a fan of almost anything rose (perfume, jam, shower gel, plant, tea, etc.), I thought I would like or love this one for sure, but this is not exactly the kind of rose I enjoy. I enjoy fresh, dewey, young rose. This one is much more mature and powdery. It reminds me of 45+ year-old ladies somehow. I guess if you like mature, powdery rose, you're going to enjoy this. I get no top notes whatsoever. Just the middle notes (rose), lots of musk, and a bit of patchouli. Having said that, being a Bvlgari product, this is made of quality ingredients. As I've said in another review of mine, even if I don't enjoy some of their scents, I have yet to find a Bvlgari fragrance that is made of poor quality ingredients (maybe save for Bvlgari Man Glacial Essence, whose depry down smells very off). Thus, if you enjoy mature, powdery rose, this may be a safe blind buy for you. PS. Smells nothing like Yves Rocher Comme une Évidence, despite the similar notes. I personally prefer Évidence to this one as it's brighter and smells more transparent.

Unfortunately I ran out of my Rose Essentielle perfume and somehow I could not find it anywhere only to find out from a SA that that version is discontinued. She did however claim that this was the new version. She told me it smelled exactly the same only the box packaging and name changed. I was beyond excited to find it again only to be disappointed by the difference of the beautiful Rose Essentielle and Splendida Rose Rose... Firstly, how stupid is the name ? Splendida Rose Rose ?! Secondly, it smelled nothing like Rose Essentielle (RE), which was stunning, crisp, beautiful true rose and incredibly long lasting. This one is a very poor, wannabe copy of it. The crisp and clean rose is nowhere to be detected like in RE. This one is way more fruity making it a more young fragrance. Far not as classy. I wish I never spend my money on this new version. I guess to some it is a good fragrance when not compared to RE, but the old version remains in my heart. I hope to find it again one day and perhaps if Bvlgari was smart and listening to its buyers it would bring it back too. It is sad that many perfume houses would change the formulation and stick a new name on a bottle to make profit. It seems careless and not much effort was put into it... This is exactly why I am discovering more and more niche perfume brands as they are much more unique and different than the big perfume brands, which I have been disappointed by over and over again...

I like a lot of compositions from Sophie Labbe, but this isn't one of them. Probably because this isn't a rose perfume but a blackberry perfume with a little rose and some other notes tossed in. I'm not opposed to that note in a fragrance, but I wish she had lightened up on it and allowed the other notes some room to shine. It's not bad, but it's way too fruity and youthful for me.

Although Bvlgari swears that no reformulation has occurred and that Rose Essentielle has undergone a name change and a bottle alteration only, I am very skeptical. Splendida Rose Rose smells very different to my nose. Many will dislike me for saying this, but I actually enjoy this reformulation. Splendida Rose Rose is a sweet, garden-fresh rose scent on my skin, devoid of any harsh, disruptive accords. Quite often I crave a simplistic rose fragrance without the jammy-ness and the additional patchouli thrown in for good measure. Splendida Rose Rose is just that; a basic, pretty in pink rose fragrance with sweet blackberry and a powdery musk and sandalwood drydown. It's a comfortable, inoffensive Spring scent, just what I'm looking for when it comes to my future wedding day fragrance. I look forward to testing this fragrance further and sampling more rose scents as opposed to the traditional bridal-appropriate white florals. I didn't find Splendida Rose Rose at all disappointing in regards to its sillage and longevity. Although I enjoyed the now discontinued Rose Essentielle, Splendida Rose Rose is far more promising as a fragrance that could potentially be added to my growing collection.

lol, what an imbecilic decision by Bulgari. This is why you cannot respect this brand the way you respect Cartier. It is so pitiful to throw out your three staple blue chip perfumes that you've built your entire beauty department upon and dilute them down to a nothingness, just to say you've released new fragrances! The new bottles are uglier, the new juices are weaker, the new names are lamer. You've replaced a stunning name that elegantly rolls off the tongue like Rose Essentielle with 'Rose Rose'? lol, what the hell is a Rose Rose? The name of your cat? Are you calling to give her her dry food? They should have kept the original three untouched, expand the line with newer and equally spectacular fragrances, bring back the original Omnia, and build a solid signature line little by little which people can actually respect. This is why people think Bulgari has turned into a complete joke of a brand. Pass!

I wanted to give this fragrance another chance as I still can't believe that they have kept the bottle, almost the same name and swapped the juice with a new one. So, yesterday I have tried this again, generously spraying my forearm, first directly on the skin and then on my cardigan hoping that the scent would last longer on fabric. After one hour all I could smell was a faint rosewater scent. A nice rose soliflore, though very generic, and very very faint. I had to put my nose directly on the fabric. So, not only they destroyed this fragrance with the reformulation but they have also dramatically diluted the concentration of pure perfume in what they call EDP but still charge an outrageous price for it. I won't buy any new Bvlgari anymore.

I totally agree with Tiara76. Why did they do this to such a beautiful and unique scent such a Rose Essentielle? Now it is a generic rose scent, without personality, depth and sillage. I could spray the old one on one wrist and the new on the other and I could have started crying. The new is like a watered down version of the old without the sensual creaminess of the old, just a light rosey, powdery something, something reminiscent of Stella EDT. I also can't smell any freshness, only something sharp at the end. Why didn't they release this scent as a seasonal flanker and call it "Rose Delicate" or "Rose Light" and keep the old in the range?

Very feminine rosy perfume. Uplifting, light, tender, elegant and luxurious. It have bit refreshing vibe not in a too soapy way. Bit warm due to musk, but not dark or cloying at all. I usually dislike vetiver and patchouli and I can still separate these notes in this perfume, but here they are mixed nicely and only add to perfume. I might wish that there wouldn't be patchouli, but fair enough it's nice perfume. At least for me this isn't true rose scent, rose is not only note here. Overall it seems bit synthetic, but not bad. For spring and not very hot summer. Day and evening. For feminine, elegant, not loud/bold woman 25+.

I know most of the reviewers said this rose perfume is a failure, but I’m very sure, this is what a pure rose scent smell like, without supporting notes like citrus, patchouli and others. Very close to Molinard Rose Eau Du Parfum. Molinard ones has the rose wood furniture bottom notes, very old woody, while Bvlgari did better on the bottom notes. So I have no regrets by spending extra for Bvlgari Rose. Goldea Rose is a girly sweet rose, while Rose Rose is a womanly rose, without the sweet notes.

Ok, so the Jasmin Splendida didn't work for me so what about the Rose Splendida. Surely they cant all smell bad on me. It was true. It didn't smell bad. It just smelt...... light, fragrant. A bit wishy washy. It was ok but I have my Annick Goutal rose scent, and that is a delicate rose, that doesn't have any sharpness. There's no downside with Annick Goutal and the price point is fairly similar so.....not for me.

I am disappointed and confused. I loved Rose Essentielle and I could understand why suddenly when I wanted to buy another one I could not find it anywhere (literally anywhere, I travel a lot..) then few months ago I had luck finding a bottle 100 ml in Dubai airport ... yesterday i tried the new one and looks like a washed out version of rose essentielle. that is unbelievable. Why?

I love this fragrance so much though it maybe lacks a tiny bit of sweetness. I feel it works best in the summer with light clothing. Unfortunately, the performance is not too good for the pricetag since it does not last long or at least it doesn’t project much after one or two hours. It stays on clothes, but it’s barely detectable.

It doesn't smell much like Rose Essentielle to me, except that both are rose scents. Splendida Rose Rose is really really LOW sillage. Like...I can barely smell it. Maybe I'm anosmic to the musk? It smells like the pink rose, and a tiny bit of musk, and then - poof, it's gone!

OFFICIAL NOTES FOR SPLENDIDA ROSE ROSE: WHITE MULBERRY MANDARIN ESSENCE DAMASCENA ROSE SANDALWOOD MUSK OFFICIAL NOTES FOR ROSE ESSENTIELLE: BLACKBERRY OTTOMAN ROSE PRELUDE ROSE PATCHOULI BOTH LISTINGS FROM THE BVLGARI WEBSITE

A lovely Rose scent with woody undertones that add a touch of warmth . Perfect for cool weather but still nice anytime . Fairly linear , close to the skin and great longevity . If you like sweet rose then maybe not for you .

Could anyone explain the difference between Bvlgari Rose Essentielle and Rose Spendida? By the difference in the actual smell, not just the notes ( I can read the difference) but, actually I was wondering which one is nicer?

@pasha ,Cartier have made many watered down versions of declaration ,as a way of bringing out new fragrances ,not many houses stick to there original perfumes anymore ,which is sad ,not a lot of originality

This actually smells peng and i dont even like rose smells but this!!!! This smells elegant and sweet and clean, a woman with class would wear this and its a smell that wont offend anyone.

Where is the smell? This is s joke. Rosé Essentielle edp was looong lasting and full of rose and mimosa. This one is full of nothing. Why, Bvlgari, why?

Is nice. that's all.Just above suttle. I usually wear this earlier in the morning and need to reapply by noon. I had the original one, I like it better.

I would prefer it made an impression on me but it didnt. Kind of rose and lightly powdery smell that fades after 1 h. Forgettable.

Versatile, expensive, exquisite Rose. Usually not a rose lover, this one smells comfortable and cheerful. Very nice balance.

To me, this smells like Narcisso rodriguez for her EDP but a better version
