Miss Dior Rose N'Roses

Renessance rose, clear and delicate, put on a much French, Dior and sophisticated musk base, with a gloomy geranium twist that adds deepness and just a hint of intrigue! If you are looking for a true pink rose, without added sweetness then this is it, the only sweetness present in here is that inherent to the type of rose used, which is supposed to be Damask. It is much perfume-y and refined so do not expect a proper rose water or something too much photorealistic a là Jo Malone, in here there is all the French allure and sophistication of Dior. Well balanced, rose centric with both the citrus and the musk never stealing its spot, just as the name claims but with a good dose of geranium for modernity and dimension. I find it immensily beautiful and worth of becoming a signature, in the sense that it could be a dignified everyday scent; there is a perfect balance of everything that I like in a scent...modernity and classic elements, sophistication with an airy, clean and "elusive" musk and some contrast and edge with the earthiness of the geranium. It can adapt to a multitude of styles, moods and weather (but it shines the most in spring). On my skin it opens with a proper pink rose, the citrus are very bright and add much luminosity for a radient effect but do not overpower at all. At this stage of the geranium I can smell just a bit of the foliage, and I don't find it lemony. We could define the opening as a watercolor rose effect, more similar to rose water, but there is a rapid crescendo in the rose, it intensifies in both smell and consistency so from watercolour we arrive to something vivid, full of color and life! Now the rose essence is strong, purely floral and a little heady, no sweetness no fruitiness no nonsense! Not even the greenness of stem and foliage. Pure floral. Had this stayed like that we could have described it as a photorealistic rose, but the base of the perfume starts to warm up and a seriously refined musk comes through. It smells so perfume-y, elegant and airy! It's seriously French, if you know what I mean...we have the artistry Dior dna with a clean, etherial and intense musk. Lightly powdery and seriously seductive. The real soul of the geranium starts to shine at this point, it is as if the rose petals are embroidered at the edge with something more gloomy and deep, I would not say a proper smokyness but a mix between something lightly smoky and earthy, not even herbaceous but it has a tang to it. It adds much complexity and refinement, so that there is dimension in the rose. From there it comes a modern and cool edge, to the point that the fragrance doesn't smell so clear and romantic anymore, now it gets intriguing. It's not yet carnal, or sensual or coquettish, it still remains a serious, composed and rigorous rose but the geranium deepens it in a darkly way. I don't find the scent soapy or old style at all, maybe classic and as such never out of fashion. It is seriously feminine, but the geranium adds a bit of an androgynous feel, I originally was after Dior Miss Dior Rose Essence for the very same reason. Performance are very good too for being an edt, lasts for five to six hours and that gorgeous musk endures for many more. I had better performance from this edt then from many edp. Projection is moderate. Packaging is classic, romantic Dior so not really my style but nonetheless beautiful to look at, specially with the bright pink liquid. Price is...well they are Dior prices, but I won't complain, I prefered to save in the long run and bought a 150ml for 119,00€ from an official retailer that offered a good deal. This remainded me very much of Zara x Jo Malone Fashionably London, a pure and vivid rose that turns deep in a refined way, but here the quality of the rose is much more superior and it is not the woods that give deepness but a much more elevated geranium. Also the musk is more powdery and less harsh in Rock N'Roses. But, if on a budget, Fashionably London is a really good alternative for Rose N'Roses. Edit: I suspect something is in the base of this one, just as it is with Zara Fashionably London, beacuse there must be something more substantial that smokes out this a bit in to a earthy dimension, maybe it is a gentle vetiver mixed with the most light oudy note or some type of incense, or patchouli even, a mix of some of those thing, if it is only musk and geranium that enriches it like this then hats off to Dior for the materials choosen.

First impressions review: Okay, let me start by saying that I am not a rose perfume person.And that is because in perfumes rose is usually portrayed as a heavy jammy sweet rose that bears no resemblance in real roses ,even the most heavily roses don’t smell that much or that way. Having said that, you might wonder why did I choose a perfume called roses n roses. Well, firstly,I absolutely love the older miss dior fragrance line (dior edp 2012,dior edt 2013,miss dior edt 2007, also the miss Dior edp 2017 which is too sweet and patchouli oriented which isn’t my thing).Secondly, I read the reviews here, and nobody mentioned a jammy rose aspect, eveybody wrote different aspects of this perfume and none of them as far as I read here at least, said that it is a sweet rose scent much less a jammy one. So this was another blind buy, and imagine my surprise when it arrived today and tried it on a hot humid Mediterranean weather, and what did I get? Jammy rose. Sweet jammy rose that is persistent and stays on the skin even even after a bath. So naturally I was disappointed. Sure, for a jammy rose perfume, this one is the least insufferable (yes, I know, this doesn’t sound very good or promising in a review). So I washed it off, I couldn’t stand it and let it develop more, and decided to leave the perfume ‘breathe’ before trying it again. I started reading the reviews again, wondering if I had missed something,but nope. Nothing in the reviews prepared me for this. And being nightfall as I am writing the review, I decided to spray it one more time before letting the perfume breathe for at least a few weeks before trying it again and giving my actual review here. I notice a change right away, the jammy rose isn’t immediate or that promiminent straight on, as it was when I sprayed it in daytime for the first time. I get a different flower mixed with the rose (my nose doesn’t recognize this flower note to compare it with a real life flower, so I am not sure what it is, but it isn’t the supposed geranium, in real life, geranium smells weird and bitter and I do not get that). I also get a floral powderiness which was made more smokey-dusty from the pepper note, the jammy rose is present, just thankfully not in the front row. As time passes by, the powderiness comes even more forth, and the rose even further back. A powdery muskiness,very soft, nothing screechy or disturbing the previous phases and notes of the perfume, makes its appearance, silently and softly settling into place. The sillage is moderate, but it lingers in the room, it has become a very toned down aspect of a perfume, something that makes people wonder, ‘am I actually smelling a perfume trail or something else, maybe a freshly washed laundry with a nice soft fabric softener?’-Lol, no matter the impression it gives, it feels as if this perfume is a small chameleon, a very subtle chameleon, that is affected by weather and daytime/nighttime conditions more than other perfumes. I can’t wait trying it again in a few weeks and in different cooler/colder seasons, and give my final review by adding an edit here :) EDIT: still writing in hot summer weather, it’s been a few weeks and I tried this again.This perfume is so, so, so pretty. And such a chameleon... I sniff the sprayer before putting this on (I do this to tell if I am in mood for the perfume) and the jammed rose is there and I am: oh no...But I decide to try it on nonetheless. And I am glad I did. I spray it and I get that jammy rose but toned downed and freshened up by another accord (probably the bergamot?), it just feels like a jammy rose in the background yet a freshly cut rose at the same time, it is so weird,but I love it. Very quickly it retreats even more in the background and a warm but very natural and sophisticated powderiness comes forth and stays there and smells like this throughout the duration.It is so pretty, it is so elegant, I cannot even describe it. In a sea of overly loud, or overly similar perfumes out there, this one is so special and so well made it stands out.Not by being loud, or a crowd pleaser, but by exuding effortless finesse. I honestly don’t know how this will perform in cold/er weather, but for summer and I think for spring too, this one is amazing!BIG LOVE ❤️💕❤️💕

I was given a teeny tiny tester of this fragrance 6 years ago and I couldn't stop sniffing it. Roses n' Roses is a classic scent, the perfect perfume rose that isn't too rich, too floral, too girly, nor too warm, just the right amount of the best part of smelling roses and best of all, IT'S DIVERSE! You can wear it anywhere but it will never lose its value. It was my signature scent for many years, but then I switched to cleaner fresher scents since I moved to the city and walked around a lot so I wanted to smell like soap (Versace Versace + Davidoff + no5... I know I am quite classic.) But I did meet my husband wearing this scent and while he doesn't tell me, I know he is bummed out that I no longer purchase it. It is a lovely scent for me, but the longevity at that price range? Ridiculous. Then today, my husband surprised me with YSL's Pour Femme Eau De Parfum Mon Paris and OMG--what a surprise, it is Roses n' Roses revamped! My husband was so shocked, he blindly bought it because he wanted him and I to match YSL since he loves their scents, and what do you know--it smells like a longlasting, picture-perfect version of Roses n' Roses. I literally cannot tell the difference, I can't believe it isn't on the forefront of the 'This perfume reminds me of' row on this fragrance. One spray 10 cm apart and it lasts hours. My husband gifted it to me in the car so I spritzed it into the air to get the spray going and he told me even hours later he could still smell the fragrance in the car. The price ranges for the same amounts on their official website but I bet you can find it from Macy's for cheap or if it ever goes on sale...In any case I value it a lot and one spray goes a long way. Both fragrances are lovely of course, but Mon Paris is like Roses' n Roses' reliable big sister who got the better genes :P

This is beautiful. Get ready for an artsy review with lots of vibes and feelings. I was looking for a rosy scent and so far this is my favourite. I was looking for something that was just rosy and not very complex. Tried it at the store and fell in love immediately. It's just roses on roses on roses. It's not at all synthetic or soapy to me. It's like if you haven't smelled roses for a really long time and try to remember what they smell like - realistic but a lot more romantic. I smelled it out of the bottle first - roses. Tried it on a tester paper - roses. Tried it on skin and suddenly roses is not the first thing that I get, instead I get this herbal almost basil-like smell, which I don't mind at all. Then the rose emerges softly but fairly quickly. It's not a powdery vintage rose but a fresh and dewy rose. Like it's been handpicked mere seconds ago with the morning dew still covering it. Gorgeous. Some might feel it is too mature, but personally I find it smells very clean and sophisticated and is perfectly suitable for younger ladies as well. It's not the old-lady type of scent to me, but there is a certain nostalgic vibe to it. It makes me miss a person I've never even known. Comforting and nurturing, I would love to be a child who associates their mother with this smell. As some have mentioned, I too would like to smell this on a man. While it is very feminine I feel like it would not be offensive at all on a man. I'm a chronic over-sprayer but Miss Dior is not forgiving in that sense, less is definitely more.

I bought Eau des Merveilles and received a 5ml bottle of this beauty as a complimentary gift. I fell in love harder with the tiny bottle than I did with my full size Hermes. I do love Eau des Merveilles, I like that one for my denim days, when I want to feel airy and free and confident, but this one is incredibly transformative. In my skin it smells amazingly sweet but not in a gourmand way, more in a powdery rose way, extremely clean, like you just left the shower and you feel like that all day. I can smell it in myself after good ten hours, I still get whiffs of it in my hair, when I go to sleep. I have received a good amount of compliments but even if I hadn't receive those, I love the way it smells. I don't get the comments about it smelling cheap or synthetic. For me it smells like roses with much more, the musk makes it so it blends with your skin beautifully. I love how this feels like it envelopes you through the day. I tried the other Miss Diors and they didn't come close to this one, and it's weird it's an eau de toiliette, but maybe that's what gives it such airyness and fluffyness. Not the original nor Blooming Bouquet impressed me as this one did, it's truly a "princess" fragance, and makes you feel like one. EDIT: I've seen other people describe it as sparkling and it had never occured to me, but it is extremely spot on. Sparkling and almost bubbly, carefree.

Headache inducing? Not if you don't overspray this. What I mean is, do not spray this like you would some of these insipid EDPs that are mostly like body sprays. This has a bit of oomph to it that you may not be use to in a perfume nowadays. Go easy on the trigger and you’ll have a much better experience. Yes, it’s a EDT and yes it wears better than most EDPs out on the market. You just need to use it correctly. Starts out with citrus and a few minutes later rose starts to bloom. The geranium keeps the Mandarin orange from getting too sweet and gives the composition a bit of an edge. Settles to a nice rose/musk on the skin. Lasts 8-10 hours on my skin. No kidding. For those who think the longevity isn’t very good, let me tell you, some people may not smell the musk because that is a note that some people are anosmic to, but others around you may smell it on you. Also applying to moisturized skin helps a lot. I’ve been enjoying wearing this scent and I think this can actually be an all year round perfume which I love actually. Really I’ve been looking for another perfume that I can wear all year and can be my go to in just about any situation. This is it along with Chanel N°5 Eau Premier and Guerlain L’Initial.

Dear Lovesmells. You are very welcome and it was my pleasure. We see enough ugliness in the world from people disrespecting each other. They been allowed to do it because no one says anything. Therefore, others who see that and think, if they can do it, so can I. Then we find out what it really means when, “what comes around, goes around.” Mahatma Ghandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world!” For me, that means tolerance for all, but not tolerating abuse. Here, a person can say that a scent smelled terrible on them. Body Chemistry is not an exact science. Could be soap products used that didn’t go well with the scent. It could be stress, medication, diet. Recently, I tried a scent and it smelled like wet grass. Smelled lovely on others, but not on me. Just the way it goes. It’s not ok for someone to make insulting comments about what “type of person” would wear a scent because of how it smelled on them. There’s the difference right there. It would not have been ok to insult the people who love and wear that scent I tried recently, because of how it smelled like wet grass on me. So my hope from all of this is for people to please.... be kind! ❤️

I'm not entirely sure why I like this scent so much as I'm a hardcore sweet and vanilla fan (this perfume being neither) but somehow I do. I don't always agree with the listed or order of the accords on here but they're accurate this time because that's exactly what I get. It's a supremely feminine, zesty modern rose - not at all the "dated" type. A nice deviation from my typical sweet fruity florals and vanilla-heavy fragrances when I want to smell a bit more "sophisticated" without feeling like I'm trying too hard. Lovely, flirty, feminine, clean, fresh, even a bit lively are all adjectives I'd use to sum up Rose n' Roses. A spring-leaning scent that's ultimately versatile enough to be worn year-round or even as a signature scent and although an EDT - it outperforms some EDP's producing a noticeable scent bubble and trail that follows you nicely throughout the day. A fragrance the vast majority of people will find pleasant as there's a certain allure to it that isn't so overt.

This is actual rose essence scent. In the opening the granium is a little sharp but it doesn't exactly smell like granium flowers which smell very warm and give me a massive headache. Here in this perfume the granium basically just adds a little bit of an edge and flowery soft bitterness to this which I honestly love. Then in the dry down the granium pretty much goes away and it gets very softly sweet and completely rosey, and I mean rose water or rose essence type of rose. It doesn't give a headache and is perfect for warm weather, so beautiful. It performs great considering it's an EDT from the MD line. Lasts 8 hours on the inside skin of my elbows and fills my entire room for a couple of hours. I unfortunately don't like any of the MD EDPs much and even tho Blooming Bouquet is my most favorite, it's just not worth it since the performance is horrible and now it's reformulated too. RnR is the best one out of all of them in my opinion.

I love the opening of this fragrance: you feel like you're walking in a beautiful garden of roses. It's fresh, floral, hyper-feminine. It's the girl-turning-into-a-woman scent: blooming yet classy, elegant and a little seductive. I would love this fragrance if it wasn't for the longevity: while the sillage is a little noticeable and gets me a lot of compliments, the rose scent lasts about 1 hour at best, and when it fades, the fragrance loses almost all of its potential. This was my go-to fragrance when I was going on a date night as a young adult, and I still like to use it for a romantic date or weekend with my fiancée. The fragrance can be great as a day wear, but take the bottle with you, as you'll have to spray it again and again throughout the day. In conclusion, a great hyper-feminine fragrance, in my opinion best for a date or romantic time due to its longevity. It doesn't last, but it smells like a very realistic fresh rose.

My oh my. Classy. Delicate. Ladylike. But first, let me talk about expectations. If you’re one of those people who want to be smelled from the car park and stinkbomb the entire building with your perfume, then buy something else; this is NOT the fragrance for you. This is a true rose that is somehow nostalgic, but Dior has managed to keep it modern. Not dated at all. My 16-year-old daughter loves it so much, so she will get her own bottle next birthday :) I have worn dozens and dozens of scents over the years and own many Dior, Chanel, etc. This is unique and like nothing before it. Did I say classy? Yes, and elegant. I can feel her presence for the entire day and into the evening. Don’t expect nuclear-powered beast mode. This is better. A delicate trail that will get you noticed for the right reasons without punching everyone around you in the face. Definitely one of my favourites. LOVE! Please don't discontinue!!

This is lovely. Simple, gentle, feminine, airy. Very soft rose notes (with a bit of mandarin in the initial spray) wrapped in a very gentle white musk. No one note overpowers any other. Nothing groundbreaking or unique. But I absolutely love it because of its simplicity and femininity. I like to have a fragrance in my collection that I can repeatedly reach for on days I just want to smell pretty and this one fits the bill. It is nothing like the other Miss Dior scents. It doesn't have any patchouli or sharp notes nor does it have thick, rich notes. It's just a dreamy scent. My boyfriend bought me the 3.4 oz for my birthday this past weekend and he absolutely LOVES the way it smells on me. So much so, he plans to buy a backup bottle for me right away. Forgot to mention that this actually has nice sillage and great longevity, considering it's only an EDT. Nicely done, Francois Demachy!!

My absolute favorite among Miss Dior perfumes. I believe it’s EDT but it stays on me until the next day. When I wear it, I feel really beautiful. I can imagine being surrounded by pink flowers. Plus my husband and kids like this smell on me. I first smelled it from the bottle my sister had but just a whiff didn’t impress me. Then I tried it again on my hand at an airport shop and it smelled different, sweet but my kind of sweet, not the edible kind of sweet. So I tried to buy a 50ml bottle from a friend and it blew me away once I wore it full time. My bottle’s still almost full but I had to get a 100ml just to feel secured. Lol. Bottomline, if you just like fresh scents or scents leaning to unisex, this might not be for you right away, but it can grow on you! My favorite way to wear it is to layer on top of Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc. They’re perfect with each other!

Honey what did you wear tonight, it smelled lovely!! Hmm? Nothing.. Oh..let s buy you a hundred bottles of that , immediately! Honestly Hon, I cannot remember the one scent I tested this afternoon... but if you love it so much I will try ...what does it smell of? Can you describe what you smell , love? Hmmm a field of pink roses and a fresh lemon zest?! ? A warm wind of green grass and a soft candle wax ?? Oh ..okay that could be .. Rose n Roses.. now that you tell ...I remember but for me it was tooo soft.. No, honey love, that is quite strong and very roses on you..I wanna eat...come bin Lets get you this rose water!! The best I 've smelled on you for years ... (Grrrmpf... I for myself like it heavier ..like Malle Une Rose... but ok ..What won t you do for love ...!#=:) So I let him buy it for me..

@QueOndaGuera I don’t usually call people out, but this time? I’ll make an exception. It’s one thing not liking a scent, because you’re entitled to your opinion and have the freedom to choose whether a scent is good for you or not. You do not have the right to make bullying and abusive comments. For instance, use ageism in your review the way you did as if 55+ communities always smell bad and the use of revlon lipsticks are a bad thing too. People don’t use hairspray like that anymore either, so that was uncalled for as well. You think you’re so cool and that if you make comments like that you can somehow bully others online into not using the product? This makes you feel powerful or something? I feel sorry for you! Grow up!

I'm just dying for the mid opening😭It's too good!!! Initially it gives you a burst of fresh morning picked roses from Grasse in France, but in that moment you get zesty vibes from green and vibrant bergamot and lushious scicilian mandarin that is just intoxicating and livey. You will be transportet from Italy to France. You start out just out of the shower on the Islsnd of Scicily. The intoxicating fresh feeling lasts for about 10 min. But not to worry, after that you blossom and come to life! Roses! Peony! And now you are in France. In the most luscious rosegarden in Grasse. It's elegance and romance. And you wake up in a dewy musky skin scent, and someone left a rose on your sheets. And yes it does last as long.

Miss Dior Roses N’Roses is a floral bouquet of rosy goodness. This is the second bottle of perfume my boyfriend bought me this Christmas. The opening notes smell soapy, clean and floral. I was certain I wasn’t going to like it but I was wrong. This is a very girly, pretty and feminine fragrance. It’s a quiet beauty. The rose notes don’t explode in your face. They are very well done in this perfume. Sometimes I wanna smell alluring and sexy. Other times I wanna smell pretty and feminine and that’s exactly how Rose N’Roses makes me feel. I think it’s better suited for the Spring and Summer. I highly recommend this scent. It performs very well on the skin.

Definitely an Eau de Toilette rather than Eau de Parfum. Beautifully fresh. I don’t think I will ever tire of it. It’s one of my favourite fragrances due to its perfect balance of complementary scents, and it smells totally natural. It’s much less rosy than other brands of rose perfume (e.g. D&G Rose The One), so you may be disappointed if you are looking for a strong rose scent. Perfect to wear during a heatwave when many other fragrances will seem too cloying and heavy. This one is like walking into the cool drawing room of a stately home where there’s a pomander on a side table, filling the air with exquisite floral aromas.

Do you remember that time in the 1980s when Barbie donned a hot pink power suit, grabbed her briefcase, and became a high-powered businesswoman? Well, I'm pretty sure that this is the scent she wore. Commanding and authoritative, but in a distinctly feminine way. This is the smell of a successful woman who doesn't ever feel the need to compromise her hyper feminity when going out to demand exactly what she wants from life. She will decorate the whole office in pink, roses, and splashes of bright white gold, and it will just make you want to work harder for her. After all, she's the boss, and everything she does is a success.

If you're usually into gourmands but are interested in a floral, try this out. I agree with reviewer Blackcat below -- I'm also a vanilla / sweets fan, but I love this perfume. I was gifted this and I was surprised at how much it appeals to my nose. Maybe it's because it's a warmer rose/floral, and is not at all old-fashioned. Lightly powdery and musky, and a little brightness from the citrus notes that was harder to pick up at first...it's just a young, pretty, sweet and simple take on roses and yet it's sophisticated and romantic. Very elegant and sexy. No complaints.
