Mille et Une Roses

It's six weeks since I splurged on a 75ml FB of this gorgeous frag. Every morning since then, I've stood there considering my collection of uber pretty florals (because I am a totally floral gal) - from Guerlain, Chloe, Cartier, Narciso, Vera Wang, Agent Provocateur, etc etc ... and just about every morning, my hand has closed around this little bottle of "my blue heaven" - Mille & Une Roses. I don't think calling it "drop dead gorgeous" is overstating the case, I really don't. Rose and vanilla together can be utterly bewitching to the point where you don't ever want to wear anything else (yes, I'm talking about you, Rose Ispahan!). But although Mille & Une lacks Ispahan's wicked fluffy marshmallow vibe, it actually has something I think I prefer: it's an understated elegance, and I call it that because while it's an unashamedly feminine rose, it's so very well tempered (or perhaps subdued is the better word) by the musk and amber and vanilla; and also it doesn't project hugely, so you aren't going to smack anyone over the nose with it. I notice it most when I've been driving for five minutes with the heater on, and in the warmth of the enclosed space, it blooms and fills the air. It makes me inhale deeply, and drive on full of smiling goodwill for my fellow motorists. I love it madly.

I'm a rose lover that really likes well done rosey perfumes but I can wear most of my rose based fragrances once in a blue moon,maybe because I couldn't find MY rose,something that I'd really love Now I feel that lancome mille and une roses mat be THE ONE.rose is the most dominant note here and it's a very pretty one.there is also a soft touch of very good musk,amber and vanilla to make it deep and sweet and sensual.it's gorgeous,feminine and delicate.I adore it's sweetness and how well-rounded it is It's wearable almost everytime and everywhere,I can't tell about it's longevity and sillage yet,it's the first time I'm trying my 3ml sample,but I've already ordered a bottle.I applied two sprays 3 hours ago and I easily can smell it but it seems to be close to skin.really wish it doesn't dissapoint after some time.I even like it's blue-colored juice Edit:I'm not a rose fan as I used to be but still I love this one.it's a sweet,delicious rose and reminds me van cleef's rose velorous in the opening. As time passes sweetness becomes delicate and it becomes musky.amber and vanilla prevent it from becoming very soapy This is a modern,sweet,clean,superfeminine and lovely

This is my very favorite perfume. I first had the original in the teardrop bottle, then when it was released in the bottle pictured above. When I found out they were discontinuing it again, I bought five backup bottles. Yes, five. It is that good. I am down to two bottles, so am trying to find something else I like, but no luck so far. For me, so far no other rose based scent compares. Any ideas? I receive compliments all the time when I wear this. I won't pretend that I know how to identify which kind of rose it is, or even that I can find vanilla in it. I do see the musk and amber, which is what I believe keeps it from being 'old lady'. I do own Stella as well and can see how they are somewhat similar. I find rose the star in the Mille & Une, while the rose in Stella has almost equal billing with amber and citrus. The citrus, I think, it what makes Stella too different than Mille & Une Roses.

I am not into rosy perfumes. Or maybe I just haven't found them. I bought this by the reviews just to test if this was a rose that I like. This is really beautiful scent. Soft, very realistic light rose. In Finland we have a special white rose that blooms in the June. It's linked to our midsummer festivities. This perfume brought me straight back to midsummer. Just like the midsummer rose and rosebuds. I love it! Afterwards I can smell soft vanillic note that mixes beautifully with the rose. And at some point I can smell pure honey. That sweetness is quite dominant for a while. I'm not sure if it's the amber but it smells good. (Normally Amber is strong and stingy note on my skin) Overall this is really beautiful perfume and it gave me a nice surprise because I had no expectations.

Beautiful take on rose. Mille et Une Roses is a bit different rose scent. Soft, dreamy and ethearal but has enough depth to stay interesting. Very, very beautiful. Something I love more and more every time I wear it. I get mainly soft, velvety rose blended with vanilla and musk. The bottle and the blue juice match well with the scent. I bought my first bottle from Harrods, it was a gift set with the edp and scented candle. The candle was the best and most beautiful perfumed candle I've ever smelled and I'd pay a fortune to get one again. If anyone knows where to get that candle again, I'd be very happy to hear it! I ended up buying a backup bottle and a mini of this too, which I rarely do. One of my all time favourites and something I wish to have always in my collection.
