Absolue Rose On The Moon

Like so many of Lancome's rarer, higher-end fragrances the notes don't capture the complexity of the fragrance. Absolue Rose on the Moon is an immediate favorite from the Absolue discovery set (which is a great bargain and highly recommended). The rose here is red and slightly dry. The incense is akin to an incense accord you might find in Comme des Garcons incense series. The sandalwood needed a moment to balance: it almost veered dill, but that nuance disappeared entirely on me, and became outstanding on my skin. There is also a tiny hint of praline, giving the composition a bit of sweetened balance. This is a fragrance any lover of rose and incense should try. I really like this. I'll definitely have to wait until it is available for a good deal.

INCREDIBLE!!! Smelt this at the mall yesterday and unfortunately didn’t have it in store but I ordered it immediately!! The notes on fragrantica are not the same on Lancôme site... CENTIFOLIA ROSE Born from the Domaine de la Rose: Honeyed rose shines with pear & lychee-esque notes at its heart. VANILLA ESSENCE A mellow and carnal tone brought about by a harmony of facets: honeyed, ambery, spicy... SANTAL ESSENCE Powerful, enveloping woody touch with creamy facets These are the notes that are listed on the website and I knew I wasn’t going crazy when I smelt vanilla! The rose is sparking but is balanced by the darkness of the Santal making it very sexy and sophisticated. So excited for my bottle to arrive 10/10.

This perfume exudes elegance! It instantly reminds me of my affluent aunt in Argentina—classy, refined, sophisticated, and beautiful. She drives a Porsche, wears Dior, and lives in a stunning mansion. This scent captures her essence perfectly. It blends creamy sandalwood with a touch of incense, a hint of jammy rose, and a whisper of vanilla. A truly sophisticated and luxurious fragrance!

This is my new favorite. I like rose scents, but I don’t care for overly flowery, sweet, one-dimensional rose scents. The addition of the sandlewood balances the rose scent perfectly. I always get a “Mmm, you smell good,” out of my husband with this one. I wear it to sleep when I want to dream that I’m wealthy and sophisticated.

A beautiful rose sandalwood fragrance. If my memory seems me well, it’s very similar note wise and scent wise to Desert Eden from the Luxury Collection by Estée Lauder. Creamy, woody, powdery rose forward perfume. Nothing groundbreaking but really beautifully done. It’s just a matter of preference, which one you like better the presentation or which you can get cheaper. From my experience, Estée Lauder is cheaper price wise, around 100 euros less per 100 ml bottle, so I would go with that if I would buy a rose centric prfgume.
