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 :)

The most perfect rose in my opinion. As the name implies, it's a beautiful dew droplet - a floral kiss of rose essence on your skin. Never overwhelming, alluring without the need to be provocative, and classically charming. It's a true rose scent that is on the sweeter side but not jammy or candy-like. The vanilla and amber balances the scent and provides a subtle creaminess. I enjoy that these notes don't overpower but effectively does its job in preventing the rose from ever smelling too sharp. Because it is devoid of fruit notes, it never turns sour like some of the other perfumes in the same realm of rose. I encourage you to experience this one if you can.

A perfect every day frangrance. This one along with Chane Chance eau fraiche have succesfully replaced my beloved discontinued Moschino L'eau de cheap and chic. I do not like rose frangrances but this one is subtle, refined, sweet but fresh at the same time, it smells like clean skin perfumed with something expensive and refined... Petal indeed. I am soo happy for finding this one and Chanel eau fraiche...so happy. Edit: I have generously sprized this beuayt yesterday night. It is not the classic powdery , "oldish" rose, it is a very fine fresh with a touch of airy sweetnes frangrance, very "lady-like". Beautiful.

A very light rose scent that lasts for hours, making for an impressive first wearing. People note that this smells like other rose based perfumes, and I agree (duh... it’s rose— one of the most ubiquitous scents in the perfume world). But I will also note that if you are a fan of Cartier like I am, you will pick up that underlying yummy vanilla base that they use in all of their perfumes. Smooth but still full bodied, it’s different than Chloé and Stella McCartney. This is an easy to wear, light but persistent rose veil. For an EDT it’s performance is very good, I’m lookIng for a grey market deal.

This was the first mainstream designer rose I really liked. It smells just the tiniest bit sweet, but not overly so. I believe that is the violet just giving it a little added oomph. It's a soft lovely rose, just enough of every element and not too much wood. I am in love with this one. Finally a rose scent that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This will be my go to rose fragrance for the summer. It's so light and not cloying at all, very refreshing. This is what Caron's Delirrhe de Rose should have been but is not.

Wore this to a spring bonfire/casual cocktail party a couple of days ago and received many compliments. I would compare this to the rose/berry combo of Guerlain's Flora Rosa, except far more subtle--also similar to Stella EDT and Roses De Chloe. Very clean sweetness, but still something I felt added a touch of glamour to an evening out. I would echo what some others have said: probably won't buy a full bottle, but it was nice to sample. I find Cartier Basier Vole and Lys Rose more exciting.

I have it and I love it! It's an elegant simple and classy rose and pretty nothing much else but it stands out of the crowd of latest launches this year. I feel romantic, clean and feminine in it. I bought it as a summer break from my complex orientals and was happy, but even if longlasting it doesn't project at all. I wish it was more radiant, instead it has a very subtle attitude and just a little nostalgic, too. anyway I love this little rose gem.

Soooo gorgeous. I get the tester edt for only $33 Even though the batch code tells it was produced in 2013 but my Cartier GdR remain fresh and come in a very good condition. My Gaawwdd, this creamy amber rose is so pretty. Think about the young Queen Elizabeth in her early 20's. Peachy pink with a touch of woodsy notes 😍 Many people said it's discontinued already, yeap no wonder I got the old batch from 10 years ago. I'm so lucky 🤍

I have had this perfume for a few months now and I like it a lot. It is rosy but I wish it was even rosier, I also smell some woodiness in it in the beginning. Perfect for office since it's not offensive. To be fair I can hardly smell it on me after an hour or two. Although I like this perfume a lot, I do not think I'd repurchase it, there are better rose perfumes out there.

Rose addict here. This rose is not syrupy or sweet, a mineral underpinning. I don't feel vanilla, rather a salty finish compare to Les Merveilles ambergris. Could have been an old bay rum with a huge cabbage rose straight from Queen Mary's Rose Garden in Regent's Park. A man can easily wear as if the salt were leather. Fresh and cooling, maybe even mysterious.

Yummi, rose and wood/amber mix. I can't smell any vanilla in this. Wonderful. fresh, clean. A bit sweet rosenotes and I just looove it! Very nice spring-scent. Mums, ros och trä/amber mix. Jag kan inte känna någon vanilj alls i denna. Underbar. Fräsch, ren. Lite söta rosnoter och jag bara älskar den! Suverän vår-doft.

Remember, just because a perfume is gone, doesn't mean it was any good. The $250-$350 prices on eBay are laughable. I had this when the big bottle sold for under $50. It smelled like Yardley rose soap, and projected like a body spray. I found it ok, but very generic and plain.

This perfume is just such a lovely scent, it is hard not to like it. I just love it so much, its really just so beautiful it smells fresh like a fresh clean pink rose i don't want to ever run out this is definitely one of those you want to always keep a big bottle of.

This is a very nice rose scent. I usually don't like rose perfumes as they tend to be very strong and I sometimes get allergic reactions to that. However, it's not the case with this one. It's very similar to Stella by Stella McCartney which I really like.

This is a delicate, young rose in its first bloom with a distinct red berry note hiding among its petals. It's subtle but exquisitely lovely. As it dries down a softly, woody vanilla emerges. Sillage is arm's length. Longevity is about 4-5 hours.

This perfume is so soft, gentle and airy. It smells of delicate crushed rose petals and spices. I really like this perfume, its classy, sophisticated and seems to last well for such a gentle fragrance.

Beautiful fresh rose. Has become a favourite for spring/summer. Smells so perfect on my skin. Stays fresh for hours before it fades and never moves into sour or too green territory. Elegant but flirty.

This is a very light fragrance- lasted better than expected from other reviews- I don't notice any citrus- just pure light row- lots of compliments on this very subtle fresh perfume-

An elegant rose scented signature fragrance that I was introduced to via my monthly Birchbox. I fell in love. Simple and elegant. I am not that into florals but I LOVE rose.

This is not female only, totally unisex.. lovely after a night bath... wearing only this before going to bed. Awesome in Spring.

Well, it is one of many rose perfumes on the market, and it is not the best one. It is not the worst one, either, but I would expect something more exciting from Cartier. It stays on, but does not project. It is great for the summer, it is warm and light and pleasant and floral. It will stay close to the skin and make you feel feminine: a rose tends to do just that. What I do like about it is that it is not just rose like some other perfumes; it is floral enough that it is like a sophisticated rose-based bouquet instead of just a dozen long-stem roses. However, it is not complex enough to be exciting; it is just barely a well-balanced perfume; these days, the are many on the market just like it. There is enough citrus in this to keep it fresh and not cloying like some other rose perfumes. I like it for when I feel like a floral, but it is not special enough to be my go-to.

This smells like sophisticated rosewater to me, and that's a good thing. The scent is classic, crisp and clean, but the rose/wood combo warms up wonderfully on skin. It's fresh, but not in a nondescript, generic way. It's ladylike and sophisticated, but also young and unpretentious. It represents delicate femininity at any age and in any era. There's an echo here of generations of continuing womanhood. Anne of Green Gables would wear it, I'm sure. I can't say I crave it, but I definitely want it in my collection for days when I feel like a lady. It's perfect for day/office wear when you don't want to offend but you still want to stand out. It's distinctive in a way that's sure to provoke memories out of anyone who comes near you, but it's not overly sweet or cloying. It's fresh, clean and won't cause headaches.

A sophisticated and pure rose scent, made to smell elegant with the wood and fresh and spices tinge of the original. It doesn’t smell artificial to me or overly “of the moment”, which might have cheapened its effect. I get no chemical-induced headaches from this one. It is somewhat delicate and airy, if applied sparingly. Could be a little more heavy if applied heavily, I appreciate that simple versatility. It is not “heavy” though in complexity or evolution. I really enjoy this one to keep me feeling fresh in the hot weather, and comforted in the cooler months. It doesn’t offend and isn’t fruity in any way. A nice “no-brainer” that won’t make you smell “brainless”.

Goutte de Rose is a lovely fragrance, but I feel like its existence is redundant. It's a clone of Stella McCartney. I could barely tell the two apart, except the opening of Stella is a little juicier on account of the mandarin, and if I get my nose right up on my wrist, Goutte de Rose does have a dry, woodsy undercurrent, but it's subtle. Other than that, they are both elegant, jammy rose soliflores, comparably priced, both available at chain beauty stores and department stores, only Stella has ten years on Cartier. And there are apparently even more jammy roses just like these that I haven't tried. Cartier, your lack of originality is disappointing.

This was something i wanted to have for some time now. It is a fantastic spring-summer scent, with a distinct rose note, but also with something very very refreshing, something like eucalyptus, mint or verbena leaves. It has a character of its own, and for an edT it lasts pretty well- 9 hours at least! Not a sweet, girly perfume - rather unisex, and uplifting - and i have difficulty believing that there's amber and vanilla in there! Instead i get a hint of insence and a certain bitterness that I like very much! It could be called "Goute de Bitterose" !!! So far some people who prefer very sweet perfumes hate it.. Oh well..!!

I have to agree with everyone here. This is a clean, soft, true rose scent. If you are looking for something that's pure rose water without adding a bunch of extra notes to make it "complex" this is for you! This is so pretty and light and just what I was looking for. I love Rose scents and wanted just that, but without it being to strong and dated. As an aside, I sometimes have trouble wearing rose- tuberose in particular, but any type of Rose in perfume can go musty and stale on me. This does not! It stays as fresh on my skin as it is out of the bottle and for me that is a HUGE win!

I've fallen in love with Goutte de Rose! I couldn't resist buying it on the spot, which I rarely do! I am very picky with rose fragances. I like them either pure and fresh, or dark and mysterious. I am not very fond of roses mixed with blackberry, raspberry or too much amber, vanilla etc... Neither do I like roses that smell like a common old-fashioned soap. I love Goutte de Rose because roses are mixed with citruses which gives it a little bit of pep. The drydown is quite musky. Very refreshing, energizing and elegant. It's a wonderful summery fragrance. I simply love it!

Rose Centifolia, Violets, Yuzu, Cedarwood. Beautiful, softly sensual, delicately feminine. No harsh edges. No sourness. Not overly sweet. Just a pinch of powder. Cedarwood base is very smooth. Very elegantly done. Very Cartier. Very soft and refined. Relaxed, unpretentious, casual sophistication in a bottle. Lovely Spring/Summer choice. Recommend to any rose lover, or those who love light, fresh florals.

I wanted to love this. I don't hate it, but it doesn't impress me. I somehow thought I'd like all rose scents because I LOVE romance by RL; but it turns out the only Rose I love is Romance's rose note. I smell rose with a little bit of wood in this scent. Also smells almost powdery to me. It's very fresh/light. Not sure if to keep..

Young, lovely, fluffy rose, bordering on jammy. To me this is a pure rose fragrance, I am not picking up on any woodiness or whatever, I guess the other notes just serve to deepen the fragrance without making their presence very known. Light, airy, slightly sweet but elegant. A lot of different people could wear this. Lovely.

Eau de Cartier Goutte de Rose is a fresh, luminous rose with litchi-like sweetness and tartness, and some green undertone. It stays pretty much the same from the beginning to the end. A simplistic but true-to-nature rose soliflore, romantic but also quite versatile. The sillage is soft and the longevity is around 5 hours.

Mi sono innamorata di questa fragranza. Si sente la rosa, una rosa dolce, mescolata alla vaniglia e non come spesso si sente in altri profumi, una rosa acidula data dal mix con note agrumate. Quando sfuma, lascia un profumo che ricorda il talco. Molto delicato, si sente poco sulla pelle, peccato sia poco durevole.

A nice inoffensive and clean rose fragrance. I sense a shy rosy and musky sweet smell. It might b interesting for someone that works in a hospital because I have body lotions that has more sillage. I like the smell but it is so inoffensive in its projection and duration, that I'm almost offended by it ;).

Lovely. Simply lovely. It’s a clean, soft rose with a tiny hint of muskiness. Understated and elegant. This is one that I believe the vast majority of people would like. However, it has very little sillage or longevity, making it not quite worth the price, in my opinion.

I’m enjoying this one. A delicate, shampoo, woody rose. It lasts a good amount of time, although it stays close to the skin. You get wafts of it throughout the day. It’s a nice rose. Clean, not powdery or anything. Soft. Likeable, clean fragrance.

A very straightforward, linear - but beautiful - fragrance: light, sweet, sugared rose. After it's settled a bit, it reminds me of a lighter version of Parisienne (one of my favorites!). Perfect for spring! I like it.

It was a blind buy..a little bit disappointment. It is too sweet, too girly and too simply. Nothing specialty, nothing elegance and chic. Ideal for young girls for every days.

Lovely clean, fresh, dewy rose. Easy to like, easy to wear. Feminine and spring-like.

Simple, young, vibrant , very pleasant to wear rose.

I love the opening, the first hour starts out as a round ambery rose, then after it's more a woodier rose. Unfortunately, 2 hours later it's fainter and I can't find the rose smell that I really liked, it's more blended in, the original Eau De Cartier woody fresh DNA scent take all the stage and I'm not amazed by this phase. In overall I'm not a big fan of the dry down and I found the performance poor, maybe it lasts better in a warmer weather. When I bought Must De Cartier Gold, I got a sample in a Eau De Cartier vials set (the original, Concentrée, Goutte De Rose, Vétiver Bleu) and I HATE those vials! They are hard to dose, hard to use, I think I got more perfume on my fingers than anything else, I don't know what they were thinking. Goutte De Rose is the only one I like from the set, the others are too masculine or spicy for my style and I gave them away. Goutte De Rose starts off so well, I even prefer the opening scent over a lot of rose perfumes I've tried, I love Goutte De Rose simplicity, but as the time goes I just find it average. It's easy to wear, I don't think I will buy it, but I will certainly finish the sample when I feel for a light woody rose scent. I'm still looking for the rose perfume I will fall head over heels, but I feel Goutte is not the one.

I had high hopes for this fragrance in my search for a photorealistic soliflore rose. To be blunt, this does NOT smell like rose. Generic pink floral, maybe. It doesn't last past a half hour. It has a candy sweetness to it to makes this even less of a realistic rose or even realistic floral. It's not terribly offensive, as others have notes. But it's not memorable. Gorgeous bottle though. Love the twist off/on! PS: I have a humongous 6.75 oz. brand new bottle of Goutte de Rose to exchange!

I was looking foward to this scent, because I really like rose scents. I tested it today and am a bit disappointed. It's a very soft rose that has quite good staying power, but I find it so boring. It's an old fashioned rose that stays calm and decent. I remember a scent that is like it (Judith Williams "Lovely Rose"), which in my view is made for elderly ladies. Sorry, but this is not a rose for me.

Thankfully, a light perfume, with much more lasting power than I anticipated - Eau de Cartier being one of my favourite summer frags, I had hoped that this one might become a warm-weather extra. However, all I got was a confused floral, reminiscent of so many of the new "young" released, albeit without the fruit notes. There was an occasional whiff of rose, but overall, it was simply a flat flora.

FINALYYYYYY a rose fragrance that resembles rose water but lasts much longer. So many others go overboard, either too sweet, too strong, or have the odor of spent rose petals. This is soft, understated, and pretty like a rose.

This did not work with my chemistry at all. Everything in the scent notes was like my vision for the perfect fragrance. I told myself , this has to be the one! Now that Stella has been ripped from my world , I was really hopeful. 💔 Sadly, it wasn't Stella's replacement. To be exact, I believe the words he used were, "ugh that smells like an old grandma!" Now I love Grandma's, I hope to be one, someday, but he wasn't complimenting me. I was dizzy and not loving the whiffs of this perfume; apparently everyone else was suffering with me. Now before you come for me, because the comments on this perfume are mostly positive, this is a chemistry thing. I have worn perfumes that compliment my chemistry and smelled horrible on someone else or visa versa. Well, this one wasn't feeling my chemistry. Sold it, five tries in.

I picked up a bottle of this fragrance blind, on the strength of my previous experience with the Eau de Cartier series, of which this was the latest entry. It's a well-named juice: drop of rose, because there's not a lot of rose here. Really Goutte de Rose is a pink fruity-floral perfume in the style of Ferré Rose. I've worn Goutte de Rose several times and find it wearable but not very desirable. In fact, yesterday I was somewhat looking forward to my bath after wearing it out and about all afternoon. It started to get that synthetic stickiness (characteristic of many recent fruity fragrances) near the end. That said, I do aver that Goutte de Rose is good for a fruity-floral pink perfume. My impression is that Cartier was trying to straddle two worlds with this launch: to appeal to the pink fruity-floral crowd but also the more sophisticated wearer. This creation is more appropriate for the former than the latter, but, again, it is perfectly wearable as a public-friendly juice. For a true rose perfume, I'd reach for something else entirely, such as Creed Fleurs de Bulgarie, or any of the Keiko Mecheri rose perfumes, or Guerlain Chamade or Nahéma, all of which are better than this.
