Of all the l'Eau d'Isseys (pour femme) I've smelt, this one is my favourite. Let's see... I've smelt the original, Florale, Pure, Pure Nectar, Nectar d'Issey Première Fleur, Rose & Rose, Shades of Kolam, and A Drop. And my verdict is Rose & Rose is the best one (despite its stupid name). If I have to rank the Isseys pour femme I've smelt, it would be: 1. Rose & Rose 2. Pure Nectar & Nectar d'Issey Première Fleur (tied) 3. Pure 4. Shades of Kolam 5. Original EDT 6. A Drop 7. Florale Rose & Rose is somewhat reminiscent of Florale, but it's much fresher and doesn't dry down to the smell of withered bouquet of flowers, which Florale does on me. It's addictive, delicious, and simply classy. There's no powderiness to it, which I'm glad because many rose perfumes tend to go to that route. This one stays fresh throughout its life. I love rose. And I love raspberry. And this one has both! It is also somewhat youthful, though it unmistakably has that l'Eau d'Issey DNA. This came out with its masculine counterpart, Wood & Wood (equally stupid name), but the latter, while being very pleasant in the opening, has a nasty ambroxan dry down that I cannot stand. Thankfully this one doesn't. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. I like it this way instead of being a rose fragrance that fills a room *ahem* Moschino Toy Boy *ahem*. Not boring or typical rose at all, in my opinion. It's very yummy and dewy!

Give this a chance to macerate first. It will get better. Honestly, it is not a rose-rose fragrance, but more like a rose-raspberry kind of fragrance. I did not like this at first, but now I do. The smell in the first few minutes is very intoxicating as I wish it would stay longer so that I could smell the beautifulness of it. One time, I wore this during a scorching hot day and I knew I could smell this on me sometimes but my friend said he could smell me even before I arrived in front of him and said I smelled peaceful, calm and made him felt comfortable?? Out of all different fragrances that I've worn not any of them but this one only?? It made me speechless and gagged a little bit because I am nowhere near that kind of description 😬. That moment lives rent-free in my mind because I could not stop thinking about what my friend said. Only then, I have realised that I actually love this fragrance as I keep wearing it more often. It leans towards smelling feminine but never cheap.

As soon as that autumn chill is in the air, Early September to October in the UK, That's when I get the craving for this beautiful jammy rose. That raspberry and pear really does make it smell like roses and jam. I purchased this blind in October 2022 and in on my 4th bottle. Last bottle was a gift from my daughter in law. I use to tell myself I wasn't a rose fan, But I am. Dewy rose, fresh rose and most importantly sweet, jammy rose. I adore this and coach wild rose. This as a better longevity but it's still not amazing. But for the price I pay in the UK, I don't mind having ro reapply. Two colleague have smelt this on me and went out and purchased it. It's a crowd pleaser, It's a complaint getter. It's joyful. Definitely for the day time. Not really intense enough for the evening. It also smells amazing in the colder months too. Safe blind buy. Please don't discontinue master piece.

I have only just received this fragrance so may edit this review once I have worn it for longer, but my first impression is this is a really lovely juicy fresh rose scent. This was not a blind buy as I tested this at a department store and it's nice from the first whiff. Not a very complex fragrance, it smells somewhat reminiscent of Turkish delight (as you'd expect) but in a pleasant, wearable way. It's definitely a food sort of rose to my nose and the projection is stronger than I expected, as I can smell it very clearly when using my hands which is really enjoyable. It is clean and fresh and pretty, and a perfect fit for spring in the daytime. Suitable for spring and summer dresses and wearing anything that's pink.

Beautiful beautiful fragrance! That combination of raspberries and sweet rose petals in all eternity! Had a sudden crush on the raspberry in Lancome’s la vie est belle INTENSÉMENT, until the suffocating dry down reminded me how I hate lvb’s lingering heaviness and toothaching sweetness! Issey’s rose & rose has all that raspberry freshness without the heaviness of lvb. Tart raspberry and sweetest rose petals in a (to me) gourmand parfum that stays just as fresh as first burst, hour after hour after hour. I don’t get any peppery notes, the rose petals are very real and any peppery note is inherent, just as sweet as Kashan roses that are used for distilled rose water.

I thought I hated rose. I thought I hated Issey Miyake scents. This stuff is fucking delicious... I've never smelled a fruity, floral mix quite like this one before. Rose notes usually sicken me - they often smell like tepid rosewater with nothing to redeem but this juice is..... oh wow. Update: It's so JAMMY. It is the jammiest (yes this is now a word), sweet rose combo I've ever smelled. Literally edible. I'm in love.

This perfume is for someone who is obsessed with Rose like me. It might not be good in your body chemistry so do not blind buy unless you love rose. The rose note here is kinda fresh ,doesn’t smell like grandma or vintage rose fragrance. This is kinda millennial rose with a touch of Raspberry. The DNA from l'eau d'issey is also here which I love ! Dry down is powdery cashmere with the hint of rose still.

Got it as a gift, and used every last drop of it. Only reason im not buying it again is because i want to try a more woody perfume. I recommend if you want a feminine fresh perfume, that is both rosey and fruity. Good for everyday wear, and i got a lot of compliments on it. Takes about 30 min before it begins smelling less fruity and more rosey, and lasts around 5 hours before i had to reapply.

Lovely rosey scent with a great big pink pepper punch, its oh so lovely. Beware it's not a delicate timid type rose type scent. If you looking for a more edgy type rose fragrance I would recommend this. It lasts strongly for around 5 hours there after it fades but does last throughout the entire day. Pair this with english rose body butter. Silage decent as well. Glad I bought it

RIP Issey Miyake From first spray to final notes this is a really beautiful fragrance. I think a lot of rose scents can come off as cold or powdery this is neither. It has a fresh opening but it is very inviting. It is a joyful rose scent and when it fades the amber and cashmere mixed with warm skin leaves such a seductive scent.

Love love loveee!! Fell inlove with it the minute I got to feel its sweet rose smell; didn't even need to look up the notes to know the real strong rose within it. Real girlish scent thats gritty and flirty a perfume I can see any girl rocking at a party. The kind of party where you go to have fun and be a hot mess!

Blind buy! But what a wonderful surprise - fresh, rosey, sweet, marshmallow, warm, woody and perfect for summer!! You don't need to spray much either, it stays for hours and lingers in the air. Obsessed!

really nice everyday fruity rose scent! it definitely smells a little bit fresh imo (maybe the raspberry) but still has a tad of musk. beautiful scent, great for daytime and gives off a girlish vibe

Gourmand sugary roses with overdose of juicy (but somewhat synthetic) fruits. Very radiant. Smells expensive. It can be sold as one of MFK fragrances, for sure. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

If you want to smell like an actual rose - like a blush coloured rose out of the garden - this is it! I find it to be the most accurate rose scent. I absolutely adore it!

I tried it last week, it's a pretty rose perfume, in the same vein as rose de Chloe and Stella mccartney, absolutely my type of rose, not sour, a bit sweet and fresh

Heavy raspberry with strong rose underneath it, even after drydown. Comparable to Lancome's La Nuit Tresor, but slightly lighter. Gorgeous sweet scent. 8/10

This is really lovely it has a really nice rosey smell it blends with my skin really well and has great silage on me lasts all day I love it

The first perfume i have ever finished! I got so many compliments from women wearing it, the perfect all rounder, daily wear perfume.

Yummy roseish raspberry jam,smells like perfumery shops. Long lasting, a really complimante magnet. Love it really!

Ever since I started layering this with La Vie Est Belle, I love it even more!

This smells incredible to me !really works on my skin love it.

At first, this seems like a generic fruity rose perfume with quite a noticeable woody base. As the day goes by, I catch myself sniffing wafts of something sweet with a slight woody undertone and it is becoming quite addictive. It must be the raspberry note. Now I can smell the jammy rose note quite well and love to reapply throughout the day to smell it again and again. Surprisingly this is quite tenacious on my skin. I sprayed it at the back of my neck in the morning, showered in the evening, put on another perfume the next morning and I can still smell slight wafts of it when the wind blows through my hair. Amazing! I live in a tropical climate so perhaps the heat helps. So happy to have discovered another Issey Miyake perfume to love.

I blind bought this and it’s just not reflective of my personality - but it’s a really beautiful perfume. I’ve not owned the original L’Eau D’Issey since I was a teen but this definitely has echoes of it. It’s a very floral, very sunny and pretty scent. I reckon this will be an easy reach for me for when I wish to feel feminine or want to smell ‘nice’. It’s not challenging and it’s delightful to be around. I’ll probably get about halfway through my (huge) 100ml bottle and then give it to my mum, who loves a floral. It’s beautiful but there’s only so much of a Not Very Me perfume I can wear.

Could've done without the patchouli, it makes it musty smelling. Thankfully it dries down to a sweet rosy musk slightly different from others of the same genre. This one has more spice due to the patch, so it's not so mainstream or cutesy although I like the cutesy sweet stuff, this is for those gals and guys that like a little edge to their rose. This is what Portrait of A Lady was trying to be. I'll def have to try this in different seasons and temps cuz I want that sweet jammy flirty in your face rose. Too much patch right now for me. Could've been named patchouli rose. Too musty .

Starts out with a strong rose/fruity scent that I really like. I like a nice rose scent but to me the pink pepper is the dominant scent here. After a hour it dries down to a sweet rosey scent that doesn't smell like the old ones that grandma wore, for this is pretty and alluring. For A toiletry the longevity is amazing long, I could still gets nice hints when I woke up today. The sillage starts out strong and then settles down to a moderate scent. I would wear it anytime and it work very good as a cold weather scent. it comes it a really cool looking bottle!!

I absolutely love this perfume. I don't like rose scent alone but it blends very well with the other notes. The sweetness from the fruit notes and the rose are very well balanced. You still smell the rose but it's not an old and stale rose scent. It's a young and sweet interpretation of rose. It can be used except in extremely hot weather. If you find Delina too sour or expensive, it can be a suitable alternative for you.

I don't understand tihs perfume. It starts out really fresh and fruity, a spring scent, but when it dries down the cashmeran comes out and it turns into a fuzzy warm scent. Unfortunately the fruity rose only lasts for about an hour. I really can't decide if it fits young women or old ladies. I would have to try it again in ice cold winter and again in hot summer weather to find out which one it likes more.

I adore this fragrance, it must be said. I tested this while sampling multiple fragrances so I did not dwell on the opening, the dry down however, is what dreams are made of- charming is the right word for it! Pink roses, pink pepper, cashmeran, some greenness (I'm not sure if from a dried down osmanthus or patchouli) and a hint of pear. A strong like for the books.

Lovely, rose fragrance. It really leans on a sweet side Rose-Rose. This isn't a "mature and powdery" perfume. It exudes youth but not in infantile way. It lasts approx 5 hours on my skin. I think it's a fun, feminine every day fragrance. My mum was gifted a bottle. You can't go wrong with getting it as a present especially for women who adore floral perfumes.

This is a very girly and flirty scent. Raspberry and pear syrupy scent with a drydown full of bright and fresh pink roses. Some musk. Not much patchouli or woody notes on my skin. Sweet, feminine, clean. Reminds me a little bit of Givenchy irresistible velvet. It also makes me think of a fizzy raspberry drink after a while. Fun to wear in the heat of summer.

I'm surprised to not see watermelon as the main note. This is an aquatic watermelon with some fresh and sweet rose. An uncomplicated fragrance, pretty soft, good for Summer. Nothing exceptional, but it's pleasant and longevity is pretty good. It's definitely a calone bomb though, you need to like this note to appreciate this perfume.

I think the scent is more fruity, which makes it appear younger, but after a while it smells like cashmere and patchouli, which makes the center of the scent more mature. This smell enhances the sexiness, thus I believe this fragrance is ideal for college students to begin working on.

This is a soft and sweet rose petal scent. I don’t detect pepper unfortunately. I wish it had more woody notes. It’s not a perfect rose scent to me, but I still appreciate it. I like the cone bottle and the slanted box. Will not repurchase this one.

Opens with a very sweet beautiful rose and then dries down to a soft pear musk but also with this odd public toilet note - like a clean, cold public toilet with cheap decrepit soap

Light, pretty, low key rose with raspberry lemonade. Very watercolour, not bold. Agree it's similar to Chloe and other rosewater type scents. A touch fruity and quite fresh. Nice.

A soft fruity rose with bad sillage and longevity. Not bad, but done a thousand times. In this genre, i prefer the fragrances from Lancôme.

Lush velvety rose with a hefty dose of fruity sweetness and a bit of woodiness. Very pretty and feminine.

Reminds the perfume of Perry Ellis Portfolio women 🫶🏼✨

super juicy and jammy raspberry and rose <3

A really pretty feminine scent.

Another sweetly clean rose. Nice but uninspired. I wouldn't mind getting a whiff of it from someone else, but I wouldn't chose it from the myriads of rose perfumes out there. The opening is fruity with watery pear and raspberry. I can also sense a hint of dry pink pepper. The rest of the scent is mostly rose, which is not edible enough to be called jammy, but definitely of the sweeter kind. It has some of the typical dewiness of the L'Eau d'Issey line, too, but it's not as aquatic as the original. In the base the scent turns a little creamier, which I think is mainly from the cashmeran. I think Issey can do better. The older rose flanker, L'Eau d'Issey Florale, had more of the Issey DNA and was more interesting in general. I also prefer L'Eau d'Issey Nectar de Parfum over this by several miles. No idea why this got 16 votes as similar to Delina. Delina has inspired a rose trend in mainstream perfumery, but not every fruity rose smells like Delina - and this just doesn't. I'm also confused why this is an EDP Intense, it acts like a regular EDP on me.

Rose based scents are not so popular now, so I found it quite daring from Issey Miyake to come out with a scent so totally centered on rose. They did it, and they did it well! It is a gorgeous, well rounded, very recognizably rosy rose scent. I would even call it a rose gourmand, because it reminds me of rose lokhum. The soft, velvety cashmere base makes it rose perfection to me.I have it on my wishlist, I will totally buy a whole bottle of this beauty. Of course, it rose is not something you like, than stay away from it :)

It's very strange that none of the notes support my theory but this perfume smells quite aquatic to me. I've realised that I'm not a fan of pink pepper notes so the pink pepper takes over everything else for me, but I can still say the rose and fruit notes are well balanced. Definitely not a sickly sweet scent. Perfect office fragrance as opposed to seductive date scent imo.

a strong young girl scent. cheerful but the sugar density can be overwhelming. if sprayed too much it takes over my nostrils. i bought it blind a long time ago thinking it was light and floral. it is definitely floral but it is never light for me.

It was the first perfume I ever bought and I thought I liked it a lot. For me, it quickly started smelling like chemicals and the scent was too strong so I'd get a headache. People around me also commented that the scent was too old for me.

Too flat and cheap smelling with no issey miyake original DNA. Not really rose, the raspberry overpowers. This would be great for a tween or teenager. I’m sad to have such a low review for an affordable perfume house that I often admire.

I agree with Momococo after blind buying this. This smells cheap and not of the same quality as the original. The rose is lost somewhere in the nonsense that is this perfume. I've gotten rid of it.

Start with a lychee jelly smell for less than 1min, juicy and fruity. Then come with rose and other floral smell for 15min around. Finish with a woody and musky smell.
