Eau de Cartier Goutte de Rose

Gorgeous...Gorgeous...Gorgeous!!! A beautiful soft lovely rose that will have you walking around in the loveliest of fragrance clouds. When I first spray this I smell sweet fruit. Not rotting fruit but something edible and delectable. RosaMilena stated yuzu in her review and that resembles the fruitiness I picked up. This fragrance is pure joy. The sweetness is not over the top. Cartier got this one just right. The rose is soft but do not be deceived it is there and the rose stayed with me well into the dry down. Towards the end it took on a bit of soapiness but I did not mind one bit. This is one of those perfumes where I kept catching the most gorgeous perfume in the air from time to time (even several hours later) and each time I would smile to myself and say mmmmmm. That's me. Seven hours later this perfume was still going strong. Amazing longevity!!! The only note listed anywhere is rose but for a seemingly simple EDT this girl is complex and there's definitely more to her than meets the eye. There is so much more here than pretty roses. You want a perfume with longevity this one is it. Some have stated little to no silage but I thought it was just perfect. This is one of those scents that from the first time on my skin it resonated with me so greatly that even if this was a skin scent I would still want the 200 ml bottle. Polite??? Yes she is but for those of us who detest patch this little beauty is a gem. Summer days, sunshine and perfect manners in a bottle. It is fall right now and winter is on its way along with a lot of snow so I will be spraying this to remind me that beautiful blue skies and sunny days will eventually come back around. TIP- When I first smelled this it was on a test strip and on the paper test strip all I pretty much smelled was faint rose and musk. This is a fragrance that needs to be sprayed directly on your skin to appreciate the depth of its character.

I've been searching hard and long for the perfect rose fume, sadly, to little avail. I'm finding that I'm not a huge fan of Cartier for the most part, while I have liked a couple of there scents, most fail to mesh well with my rather volatile chemistry. That being said, I decided to go ahead and give Goutte de Rose a try, in part from curiosity and finding a very decently price .5oz bottle. I can honestly admit that had I not taken the chance on this, it would have been a big mistake. I absolutely adore this juice and will be purchasing a large bottle as soon as funds allow. I love roses in general, but have found it very difficult to find a true to life rose fragrance that lasts, isn't too sweet, soapy, powdery, musky or, for lack of a better word, old. Cartier really hit the mark with this lovely juice. It really does smell like rose water but with much much better longevity and projection. I'm usually rather shy to recommend a perfume, but do so here whole heartedly and without reservation. My hat's off to Cartier for finally producing what I've longed for for many years now. I'm in love...

I don't know where I've been that I only recently found this gem. Cartier Goutte de Rose, despite of being edt - has a considerably long lasting power, satisfying sillage, and yummy scent! Rose is very dominant in this fragrance. I have zero complain as I love rose. However, I would disagree that the rose is linear, because it's not. It starts with wet, watery rose bouquet scent that develops into a rounded, fluffy, enveloping, warm rose-vanilla. Slightly reminds me of Stella, but Goutte de Rose is not as prominent or full bodied. Compared to Stella, Goutte de Rose is like its shy yet friendly younger sister. Softer, still got character, but have something that is "not yet there". It's probably the innocence part of this fragrance. I find Goutte de Rose very easy to wear and very easy to like. It is safe, inoffensive, and seems to bloom into its best in warmer weather. This fragrance could be a quick feminine fix to almost anyone. Now excuse me, I need to stare lovingly to my new 200ml Cartier Goutte de Rose bottle and sniff my wrist again.

At first this reminds me of Kenzo Coleur Rose- Pink a little bit, and the first 5 minutes after spraying this on me is kinda disappointing. It's nice, but nothing special. But after that, this floral scent changed into this rosy smell that is really yummy and addicting. I keep smelling my wrists afterwards. The longer it is on my skin, the more it develops into a complex floral scent. This would work well as an everyday perfume. I have been wearing this for 5 days straight. Usually I change my perfume everyday, but these past few days I have only reached for this bottle. This perfume lasts over 6 hours on me, so it's really really great for an EDT. And I adore the bottle, I don't have to worry about losing the cap. I think it's suitable for all ages, because it's not too floral or too sweet. This is my first Cartier perfume, and I think I love this house already!

Goutte de Rose is the third fragrance I buy after just trying it. It was instant love. I should say that I do not buy on impulse and the only two times I bought a fragrance the same day I tried them was when I bought Infusion de Iris and Miracle. And I still love them. You know, when you see the word "eau" and "rose" in the same sentence, you think: rose water. But thankfully this is just not the case. There is more rose water smell in Stella M. This a case of a subtle sophisticated, feminine and complex composition. I usually do not describe the notes in the fragrances but in this case I want to say that I love the spices in it. This is a Cartier after all. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...my new favorite :)
