La Petite Robe Noire L'Eau Rose Eau de Parfum

This might just be my favorite iteration of La Petite Robe Noire. While I adore the original and its tart cherry signature, this flanker offers a darker, more luscious cherry - !almost! like the decadent Amarena cherries of Italy, if you’ve ever savored those. I half expect to bite into one and feel the syrupy liqueur burst on my tongue. The star turn of course is the rose. Guerlain truly knows how to conjure roses, and L’Eau Rose is no exception. The queen of flowers dances on top of the other notes, compliments them at the same time. She doesn't outshine, she makes everyone shine! The frosted glass bottle is equally enchanting, a visual prelude to the fragrance within. My only gripe, which isn't limited to just this perfume, is the plastic stopper they put on top of these amazing flasks, especially at this price point. Guerlain could learn a thing or two from Chanel here! Nevertheless, I find spraying L’Eau Rose on to be such lighthearted fun. The fragrance says Yes! to life and love and fun. I frequently get complimented for LPRN and I have no doubt, it will be the same with L'Eau. The sillage is really good in the first couple hours and the fragrance stays with you six hours easily, even though it will be more of a skin scent by the end of that time span.

I had the impression that the quality of the La Petite Robe Noire flankers had been steadily declining over the past few years, until this beauty came along. Finally again a flanker that is smooth, not overly synthetic-smelling, and that lets the notes dance, instead of clashing with each other. The tea in here is finally not bitter anymore, but it adds a calming aspect, while the licorice shines particularly delectable and sweet in the drydown. I am a fan again!

This perfume I asked a friend to bring from Cannes since it was limited and we didn't get in USA. Smells very beautiful, rose, cherry, sweet, powdery.

This version leans fresh and rosy, with a light, playful sweetness that feels fun and easy to wear. It’s not heavy or intense more like a light rose lemonade than a deep floral. It’s youthful and pretty, but also a bit predictable and safe nothing super edgy or groundbreaking.
