La Petite Robe Noire Rose Rose Rose

LPRN with less cherry and almond, a little bit less sweet. I would say maybe 30% more rose. It is definitely easy to identify as a flanker of LPRN, but the rose is much more prominent and it feels a little bit less juvenile and sexy. It is a glamorized, more mature version of the OG scent. It does have similarities with Rose Cherie but RC is way, way more dense/ intense and the cherry is in the center of the stage competing with a very potent rose note for attention. Rose Cherie is a wonderful sweet cherry/rose elixir. LPRN rose rose rose is a pretty scent but much more diluted and tame than Rose Cherie. I used up all my french kiss decant. I can't compare the 2 scents now, but yeah they might be a little bit similar. If you want the strong rose/cherry punch just save your $$ and get Rose Cherie. Update: the rose note gets more intense in the drydown. Very beautiful rose note, very natural...lovely.

I just received it today, and yes you can obviously tell its a flanker of LPRN, but that's kinda the point. It's not 99% the same, IMO. You definitely get the rose and for me that rose is creamy. I think it's interacting with the almond. I don't have the OG LPRN (except for a tiny little 7.5 ml promo bottle) bc I don't care for that heavy licorice note. That's toned way down here. This will change over the months as it settles and ages, all of the flankers I've bought have done that. Considering I really do love this one out of the box, I'm excited to smell it a few months from now. I have Nectar as well, and I'm just now starting to really like it. Guerlain fumes seem work that way. They need to mature and deepen a bit before I can really get a good sense of them. I love Guerlain, so I'm always going to take that chance. Everyone's experiences will vary, but I'm more than pleased.

This has grown into a serious love. So much so, I wish I had bought two bottles because they're only 50 mls. This is a soft spicy, creamy rose, rose, rose. A flanker? Sure, but it's gorgeous and if you like the DNA of LPRN and extra rose, you'll love this one. Took a while to deepen, so to speak, but I'm wearing often this summer.

I really enjoy this one; I agree that it is very similar (but maybe not 99% :)), very clear LPRN DNA. But if you find the other LPRN too intense/heavy this might be a nice option. I find the roses quite noticeable, slightly jammy rose, but still fresh.

The most beautiful version of La Petite Robe Noire! Very deep, elegant, sensual fragrance. Packiging is great too: this little roses look so cute! I really love it.
