Fétiche La Rose

Fetiche La Rose is actually very well blended, but I do feel it’s a skin scent. Considering my sample has really improved over the last couple of weeks, maybe this just needs more time to show its true potential. What initially ruined this for me initially was the ridiculous amount of hype and influencers who claimed this was a black cherry scent. There is no black cherry in this what so ever. This led me to rate it as 2/10, along with its initial strong similarity to "Delina La Rosée | Parfums de Marly" , a scent I personally hate. Retesting it now I still feel they made a mistake when printing the ingredients of this. I still get absolutely no cherry. I do get Hibiscus, Rose, Ginger & pepper. My partner’s first impression of FLR was “it’s really, really nice” and scored it 8/10 until he smelt "Hibiscus Mahajád | Maison Crivelli", which he said was so much nicer. In the opening of both, I’d definitely agree with this. HM is stunning. FLR smells more rosy here, like HM mixed with "Atomic Rose (Eau de Parfum) | Initio" and "Delina (Eau de Parfum) | Parfums de Marly". The dry down of both is where the differences are more obvious. HM flits between hibiscus and leather. To me FLR still had a hibiscus/rose note, but with added ginger and smokiness. This is where I enjoy it most. It is definitely dark and sexy. I still hate the tacky lid and bought directly from Christian Louboutin’s site, just to ensure I got the travel cap. Needless to say I’d now rate this 10/10. If you have a sample, definitely let this sit a week or two and retest. If you’re thinking of buying this, you should also test Hibiscus Mahajad. If you like this, you’ll likely enjoy all the other fragrances mentioned.

I still am amused at how intense the feelings are when it comes to Quentin Bisch.Many love him intensely,many hate him with a passion.Interestingly, even the haters admit that there is this stunning creation called the Quentin Bisch rose.This rose, like the creator, is equally loved and hated,cherished and despised,very polarasing but nevertheless very intriguing.While the famous rose is fruity youthful in Delina, classy and crisp in Existence,loud and unapologetic in Guidance,here the rose is very sensual and seductive.She is deeply immersed in a very sweet, thick dark cherry syrup, sprinkled with ginger and this blend is so sexy and addictive...I am enchanted. I remember Demi Rawling raving on YT about how her fiance reacted to this scent on her and the subsequent mean comments about that here on fragrantica.I completely understand her/his reaction because this fragrance,while not a masterpiece, is somehow so alluring that I constantly sniff the air around me while wearing it. It is definitely NOT a blind buy because of the simply fact that ALL of QB ́s recent creations are intensely polarising (see Guidance or Existence) and because this is for those who love powerful fragrances with good projection and longevity!I personally LOVE the famous Quentin Bisch rose in ALL its forms and if someday it will translate into a real-life rose I will cultivate it in my (as yet non-existent) garden...

Seeing all the reviews, it’s a good reminder that fragrance is subjective, no one person’s opinion is the end all, be all. So here’s my take on my experience with La Rose. I wore Fétiche la Rose and I didn't just wear a scent, I embodied a mood. Empowered. Bold. Seductive. Enticing. Beautiful, demure, and coquette all at once. It gave me main character energy, like I was gliding through my own film, framed in velvet light and a lingering gaze. This scent is a whispered invitation and a crimson statement. Alluring from the first breath to the last trace. It's the rose you bleed for. It's poetic, enigmatic, and completely in a league of its own. This lasted over 8 hours on my skin and even longer on clothing (my work sweater still smells like it 48 hours later). I also received so many compliments while wearing it, which is always a bonus. Two triends asked what I was wearing, and of course, I'm not gatekeeping. This entire line is superb. I love the bottle design, and my sales associate was amazing she even gave me two travel caps just in case. She already knows I'll be back for another from the collection; they're all so beautiful and expertly blended. I truly love everything Sir Quentin Bisch creates.

This has been ridiculously hyped up that I was really excited to try this. Being a cherry lover, especially black cherry, this one drew me in. Well .... This is absolutely nothing special or different what so ever. Fetiche Le Rose is a skin scent, and even at that it’s barely noticeable. The notes are hard to detect and not because it’s well blended, but because it’s so faint it’s difficult to tell what you’re smelling. Don’t believe these influencers who are telling you this is a black cherry scent.... There’s no detectable cherry in what so ever! As it dries down you get the rose and that’s it. This could be Atomic Rose Initio, Hibiscus Mahajad or even Delina Exclusif .... but watered way, way down into next to nothing If any of the scents mentioned above were too strong for you and you just wanted something much softer, this is for you. I’m so glad I didn’t waste my money on this, and that bottle lid is just so tacky. What a total disappointment! I’m so glad I didn’t waste my money on this one, and that bottle lid is just so tacky. What a total disappointment!

I love this scent. It verges on being too much, too sweet, too something but I can't stop smelling it at the same time. It's like a sweet dessert you should leave alone but you keep going back for just another little bit. Cherry and rose both of which I love in the right blend. If you've seen my other reviews, you'll know I work from home so I wear what I want when I want and I think everyone generally should. I bought a backup bottle I loved it so much when I first got it but with time it's clear it's not an every day or even every other day frag for me, so I'm decluttering the backup. I might rebuy but it'll be a while before that would be needed. I'd love if they came out with a slightly lighter flanker version. But this is not a hot heat, warm day one for me. It's better on a cool evening - special occassion, date night. Great longevity and sillage.

Picked this up after a true fraghead mutual shared their thoughts, and I don’t usually blind but at this price point, but I trust her. I’ve been sniffing this non stop since I pulled it out of the box. Without looking at the notes I got a rich, unique and sweet peppery rose with an unusual warm spice. The moment I saw the notes it came together. Jammy rose and almost a dried cherry, spicy pepper and warm zingy ginger. As it dries down, I get more cherry and rose, the pepper falls off and the ginger mellows. This is intensely sexy. Idk how he did it, but this stuff makes me feral. And the dry down is the stuff obsessions are made of. The name, the presentation, the juice all match. I’ll update with longevity after a full day wear, but for now I’ll say Quentin hit the ball out of the park on this one.

Sharida loves this perfume to the MAX and, as many before me have been remarking, so does Demi. Now I don't always agree with her- for example I hate the Delinas- I do sometimes, and I believe her when she says this is sexy. Sometimes she repeats the same phrase too many times when describing things and could study public speaking but I don't find her cringy, and that is a rather harsh assessment, imo, just had to say it. I bet it is sexy indeed. I will try it one day downtown in spite of the sick bottle. Over the winter Demi fell in love with Le Lion so I have new respect for her since that is my winter main LOVE which I can't get enough of. And it's not so feminine but who cares because we love it!!

I actually find this one to be pretty unique. I enjoy the note of rose, so I own quite a few rose perfumes. You definitely get the spices initially and the cherry is less prominent than I expected. It also has a fresh quality mixed in that stays throughout much of the wear., keeping it from being as sexy as it it would otherwise be. I really liked it. My husband commented that he could smell my perfume, but he never complimented it. He usually loves cherry perfumes on me, too. I know it is being touted as super sexy by some influencers, but not everyone will view it that way. I am happy with my purchase, but I am a rose lover. I would recommend testing before purchasing.

This is a very commanding, sexy, statement, clubbing, rose and cherry scent. Though it’s not my style, my husband finds it an intense aphrodisiac - poor guy! It’s giving NYC in the throbbing late 1980s. If I were 40 years younger and had more clubbing/party events, I can see wearing this a lot, but that ship has sailed. It’s now me, my puppies, my husband, some warm orris/ iris labdanum affair, or a chypre, and Poirot. Either that, or the opera and Amouage Memoir Woman. More power to those of you who can wear and enjoy this luscious creation with its undeniable charm! It’s fantastic and unforgettable. Enjoy!

I blind bought this. I also expected something else like a fruity rose based on the reviews online. This is a darker & sensual fragrance to me (not your typical fruity floral), suitable for a date night or if you want to smell sexy. To me this smells like spicy, cherry liquor with rose. The opening is the most interesting part of the scent as the spices and cherry fade rather quickly and you’re left with mostly jammy rose on skin. Strong, amazing peppery opening but the fragrance has moderate performance as it settles. Beautiful scent!

I tested this line at Nordstrom today and this one was my favorite. The pink pepper and ginger make it a very spicy rose, with the cherry adding just a touch of sweetness. It seemed to have moderate longevity and sillage. I honestly didn't think any of them were worth $250...I've smelled just as nice fragrances for much less. And the bottles are horrid. No way they'd fit on a cabinet shelf. I agree with girlfromanothertime's review that this fragrance kind of falls apart in the dry down.

Fetiche la Rose is an alluring rose and cherry fragrance that is truly captivating. The scent opens with a dark, peppered grenadine note that swiftly evolves on the skin, making it ideal for cooler weather. Mysterious and sexy, this fragrance is reminiscent of a woman who is both elegant and bold. It's the perfect fragrance embodiment of your favorite red lipstick. It lasted about 6 hours on my skin, but I was happy to reapply and relive this Quentin Bische masterpiece all over again.

This is such a gorgeous and feminine scent. I can detect rose, but it’s not a simple rose—it’s masterfully blended with other notes that melt together so seamlessly, it’s hard to pick them out individually. I sprayed it twice and could smell it on myself all day. It’s an incredibly elegant fragrance, and I don’t have anything similar in my collection. I also own Delina and Hibiscus Mahajád, and this is not even close to either. So lovely, another masterpiece from Quentin Bisch.

Just picked up a bottle from Harrods. Will update my review in the next couple of days once I properly test this fragrance. Update (22-Mar-2025): Agree with @sarahkarlin, for me the first 5 mins it’s all about the pink pepper and the ginger, then it develops to the most amazing sensual rose with a touch of cherry! If you like spicy rose, this one is for you. Quentin Bisch did it again! A great longevity of 8-10 hours. 10/10.

Smelled this in Nordstrom from the collection and immediately fell in love with this one! It reminds me of Ambre Nuit mixed with Clive Christian Town and country with a seductive Cherry note added. It's Sweet, spicy, sensual, and seductive. Definitely my favorite Rose fragrance. I didn't purchase it from Nordstrom for $250. But I immediately went online, found it for $212 from Bloomingdales and ordered it

You can tell this is a Quentin Bisch creation immediately. The rose is very evocative of Delina, Very Good Girl, etc. But this is just elevated. So good. It is masterfully blended with the cherry and the pink pepper. That combination often results in a screechy composition, but not here. Gorgeous drydown.

When I first smelled this, I was like Naahhhh this is not my style .... and then 5 hours later I kept getting wafts of something that smelled heavenly, turns out it was this on my arm from earlier! Immediately bought myself the FB. I LOVE THIS JUICE. Please never discontinue it. ♥ 🤤

There are roses you wear... and then there’s Fétiche La Rose. A rose with attitude.It’s sensual without shouting.The rose here it's mature, confident, magnetic. Wrapped in soft woods and musk. For lovers of sophisticated florals with a touch of mystery.

Quentin Bisch has mastered the rose. Fétiche La Rose is no exception... If QB has anything to do with a rose accord, I am going to buy it. His rose DNA brings nothing but compliments and attention.

My first thoughts....Dr pepper. I smell straight Dr Pepper. Spicy, boozy, vanilla, cherry = Dr Pepper. It smells nice, but I will have to give it another try to see if I can get past the soda pop!
