Sleeping on the Roof

Purchased the discovery set after years of waiting to try “Sleeping on the Roof”. Being a green, white floral lover I expected to love this scent , and I do! I’m not sure why the votes are so low , could it be that its longevity is questionable ? Whatever the reason, for me, this is the best predominately LOTV fragrance and despite the price , one day I hope to buy a bottle . My favourite perfume in my twenties was Diorissimo by Dior and that set in motion my love for LOTV scents . Fast forward two years ago when I started on my fragrance journey , I realised I’m not that taken with LOTV as a soliflore. Too green and sharp . I have given away Penhaligon’s and Floris’ LOTV perfumes for this reasons . I currently own Etat Libre D’Orage’s - . Another fleeting fragrance but so beautiful with a sweet , marshmallow LOTV. Sleeping on the roof is greener , not harsh , warmer, and creamier on my skin . A touch powdery . I sprayed it on myself last night as I went to bed . In my dreams I could hear myself comment on the outstanding smell that was enveloping me . I wasn’t sleeping on the roof but I could experience the captivating , white floral journey it personified . It’s a love from me ! 💓💓💓💓

I absolutely LOVE this. LOTV is one of my "forever" florals. I go through phases with most others. I've owned many, hated many and loved few lily of the valley scents. I was surprised when I got this sample, I thought I would get more orange blossom but this comes off as a soliflore. Like many others have commented, this is LOTV done RIGHT! It's clean, it's soft. It's not waxy, suffocating or dated. I've bought 7 samples from this house so far and I have to say, they absolutely fit the vibe they've presented. They're soft, delicate but noticeable - so says hubby. I own Miu Miu and disagree on the similarity. Miu Miu has quite a bit of pepper and woods and feels a little more... jagged. It is much more close to Dior Lucky but not dupes for each other. If you like LOTV, give this a try! Even if you don't, give it a try. It's an easy wear with wonderful performance. I did try to wear in 10 degree weather 2 days ago and it felt very out of place. It was 70 here today (scary) and it was so lovely.

Love at first sniff, and thankfully it stays just as beautiful once it hits the skin. This opens very green and floral with an earthy grounding quality, and there’s something about it that reminds me of banana leaves or fresh greenery. It honestly smells like attending a wedding held in a garden, where the air is filled with flowers and green arrangements rather than heavy perfume. It feels natural, soft, and quietly elegant. The sillage isn’t strong, and part of me wishes it had a bit more punch, but I think its beauty really lies in its delicacy. The performance is actually better than expected for something so airy, staying close to the skin and becoming an intimate scent you enjoy mostly for yourself. I kept catching gentle whiffs of it throughout the day, and it genuinely made me feel calm and happy. It evokes springtime, lying on grass, walking through a garden - a very personal and immersive experience.

I was gifted this.. Wasn't thrilled on it at first.. I was putting my outfit idea together for a breezy outdoor Napa Valley wedding.. Went perfectly with my minimal, ethereal look.. my signature French gal updo, blue silk dress, Brother Vellies pony haired cowboy boots, simple diamond earrings, a splash of blush .. Sleeping On The Roof was the perfect call. All throughout the day I kept getting nice hits of the herbal, delicate floral dewiness, then it would (veryyyy quickly) fade into a musky skin scent. Definitely had to keep re-applying throughout the night and probably used half of the bottle.

After smelling nearly all that Harrods had to offer on a recent trip, I was looking for something new, something that would grab me. This was it! I tried nearly all of the collection and this really jumped out to me. It transported me to a beautiful garden in the middle of summer just as the sun passes over the horizon, the flowers that have been soaked in sun all day get ready for bed, creating this warm, slightly creamy but green fragrance that leaves you feeling relaxed and sleepy. I love this, I guess some people don't like lily of the valley, but if you do, go for this!
