Rose de Mai

Just received my bottle and I’m pleasantly surprised. I purchased this off Amazon because of Notes by Josephine on YouTube. She describes this as a fresh and powdery clean rose and I was convinced. So to my nose this is slightly fresh, slightly jammy, slightly citrusy, slightly green rose. It immediately reminded me of a fresher and less jammy take on Hermetica Rosefire. Perhaps if Chloe and Rosefire Mixed together it would become Rose De Mai. The most prominent notes to me are the rose, lily of the valley (Clean/green), cassis (jammy fruityness), and a bit of violet (powdery). The rest of the notes are blended well in the background. This is linear yet very pleasant. Projection is actually quite good the first hour in Florida heat. It then settles to medium projection and longevity. Wonderful for all year round actually but super nice in the Spring. Could be a nice work scent too! Lovely fragrance! I’m glad I have my bottle!

This is the happiest scent I own. The rose notes are very fresh and vibrant, complex, not too intense or overpowering, but actually like a bouquet of different colors and varieties of roses. In my opinion, this perfume is effervescent, suggesting of a fragrant glass of champagne, it is just sparkly. The longevity is very ok in my experience, the initial projection is fantastic (though not aggressive) and it lingers pleasantly both on skin and on clothes. The ylang ylang and cassis are still there, never divorced from the rose notes. I usually get compliments for this scent, it gives me a smile to put it on, plus I get the additional comfort of it being sufficiently singular from other market perfumes.

I love this! My husband bought it blind for me knowing I love roses and Fragonard. This is a great rose scent. It's complex enough not to feel flat, but simple enough to not feel muddy or confused about what it's trying to say. Does not go powdery on me, hallelujah. It's romantic, and old fashioned in a Marie Antoinette shepherdess way. It's coquettish and happy, fresh and dewy.

Beautiful rose perfume. No, not like that. It's a ROSE perfume. Everything else in it is there to make the rose sing. It's a a live rose on the bush, rather than a dried up powdery cosmetic rose. Absolutely gorgeous, everything you might want form a soliflore rose scent.

Awesome rose scent! Ultra sophisticated, feminine and clear. Light and casual yet elegant.
