Rose de Courreges

I've been looking for the perfect mix of feminine, sexy, and clean for a long time, and I finally picked this up in Japan of all places. Sprayed onto a test paper, this perfume is floral and very fresh and clean. The sexiness happens when you apply it to your warm skin. This perfume has a depth that's both luxurious and tender, and doesn't give me a headache, which is a surprise considering how strong it is. It's really the perfect combination of fresh and fun, and if you're tired of sexy perfumes smelling "dirty", give this one a try!

Absolutely lovely : juicy, fruity and delicate. Rose is very present of course, but sweet fruits are very present too. It seems there is something sugary in it. I can't help thinking of Sweet Courreges and I'm so happy (I loved Sweet Courreges). Too bad : very very expensive ! Similar to Baby Doll YSL.

This should have been named Vinyl Rose. It has the Courreges touch, taking a matronly classic (rose) and doing a modern reinterpretation. Reminds me of a shiny irridescent neon green vinyl jacket I had in my teens waaaaaayyy back in the day. Not a Courreges vinyl jacket, but a cheapie from the mall. Classic profile, modern textile. This is a perfect clean girl scent. Not soapy fresh, but citrus fresh. Yoga mom, bleach blonde hair in a muppet bun, hot pink tank top, black yoga pants and flip flops. That's who this scent is. Rose is barely detectable in this. It's all about the grapefruit, smells sharp like you literally just cut open a pink grapefruit and squeezed its juice into a bottle. Maybe a bit of bamboo, but you aren't sure what you are smelling. Then you get the softness of cherry blossom, and the watery and aquatic lotus. Light musk throughout. Gently sweet, but citrus sour. Lasting power is amazing, sillage is moderate to strong. Great value, I paid maybe $12.99 for a 3 oz bottle. I like this one, it's very pretty. Could absolutely be a signature scent for a lover of aquatic florals or citrus fans looking for not just another boring lemony freshie. I feel a bit ridiculous at my age wearing it any place but to bed after a warm bath. Perfect gift for a teen girl or granola crunchy types in the sub-thirty age range. It's comfortably a running errands type of frag.

I purchased this hoping for a good rose fragrance, but I'm disappointed. The fragrance is good, however; I get lots of pink grapefruit, bamboo, amber and musk, so it is definitely complex and interesting. To my nose it is just not rosy. I ordered the new version of Courreges in Blue and am more pleased with this one. They are both very citrusy, but the Courreges in Blue is more complex. I'd recommend either of them, because they come across as old fashioned green/florals, which I love. The sillage and longevity are both better than average, which for me is saying something, because I tend to favor sillage monsters. They are both lovely very fresh daytime fragrances.

Beautiful feminine fragrance. I just bought this in Galleries Lafayettes in Paris and for the moment, this fragrance is exclusive to this store. After I paid, the saleswoman asked if I would like her to spray some on my skin and then she proceeded to spray all around me, like a halo: a beautiful extravagant gesture. It will always remind me of springtime in Paris 2013: modern, light and feminine.
