Macaron Rosé

Following @blackcat02 's example and leaving a review for Rose Chocolat here since Fragrantica doesn't have it in the database yet. If you like "sweet gourmand", powdery, creamy, "lactonic baby wipe" scents, you'll love Rose Chocolat! It's like kissing the top of a baby's head, wearing a fluffy pink sweater, cuddling a kitten. Purity, sweetness, creamy and clean. To my nose, the break down is: - "watery/ozonic" (35%) - powdery "baby wipe" (15%) - creamy/lactonic (15%) - Dove soap (15%) - white chocolate (10%) - sweet musk (10%) The liquid is a beautiful semi-opaque blush pink too. It also lasts a LONG time - throughout the day and even overnight! This is one of my top 5 favorite "clean/soapy" scents - hoping they add it to the database soon so I can add it to my "scent wardrobe". P.S. For more sweet gourmand + soapy + "lactonic baby wipe", check out BBW's Golden Honey Praline mist (lasts as long as a perfume IMO!)

For me this perfume reads pretty much just straight rose, which is exactly why I love it. Too often, for me, rose fragrances are layered with other florals, or ouds, or musks that hide enough of the rose in the perfume that they no longer read rose to me. Or they become too powdery and iris-y that they travel into baby powder realms. This just smells like anointing yourself in rose water, with maybe the hint of sweet to give just the edge of turkish delight. I mostly use my roller ball for a nice bedtime scent, because its gentle and not overpowering, yet luscious enough that it feels like a treat.

I don't understand all the hate this is getting. Is it because it's cheap? It's actually pretty nice, IMO. I see it as a good attempt at striking the balance between lychee and rose so that it's neither too lychee-sweet nor too rose-serious. There's a nice green element that keeps it from getting too boring or too feminine. Pretty crowd pleasing and refreshing. Great for after the shower. Longevity is good but projection is weak, which I don't mind.

This is linear but so lovely. The only other rose scent I can tolerate is Le Labo's Rose 31, which is a more dirty / earthy rendition of rose. If you're looking for a fresh, crisp, just-washed rose scent that avoids the potpourri / grandmotherly pitfalls of typical rose fragrances, then this one is for you. I'm 36 and I rock this one on summer days.

like the first bite in to a turkish delight you get from the euro mart. cloyingly sweet, noseburning soap art first, and then it devolves into a mellow sugary rose. longevity in skin is meh, but lasts forever on hair and clothes. wore it religiously during a mental breakdown so it's kinda nostalgic to me now.

Lovely rose water and turkish delight. Reminds me of rose scented things from the 90s, like Avon rose bubble bath. Almost a cold/icy/chilly vibe, not a warm or sweet rose at all

super clean, sweet rose, if you like the Dr.Teals elderberry bath salts and want that scent to stay with you, this is great for that.

Very rosy and sweet! Reasonable and budget friendly price tag.

Rose flavored Turkish delight!

I recently tried Macaron Rosé from Le Monde Gourmand, and it was a delightful experience. The first thing that struck me about this fragrance is its refreshing floral notes, especially the prominent scent of rose water. One of the things I appreciate about Macaron Rosé is its subtlety. I didn’t detect any overwhelming sugariness or excessive sweetness. Instead, the perfume maintains a perfect balance, allowing the natural floral essence to shine through without being overshadowed by artificial sweetness. The sillage is moderate, leaving a delicate trail that is both captivating and sophisticated. Overall, Macaron Rosé Le Monde Gourmand is a beautifully crafted perfume for those who appreciate fresh, floral scents without an overpowering sweetness. It’s perfect for everyday use or special occasions when you want to feel effortlessly elegant. I highly recommend giving Macaron Rosé a try if you're looking for a fragrance that embodies the beauty of rose water in a sophisticated and refined way.

I tried this one on to see how I might like this brand. The first few minutes after one spritz were some rough rapids, a bit harsh. But give it 5-15 minutes and it settles down in to a nice rose scent that lasts for a couple of hours (which I think is fine for the price). If I didn't already have more fragrances right now than I've ever had in decades to play in, I might add it on. As it is, I already have florals (and most other things) pretty well covered in a brand I am very very happy with. But if you are searching for a budget friendly rose, I didn't find this one terrible, obnoxious (after the first 5 minutes) or headachy which I often do with inexpensive fragrances. Obnoxious and headachy don't always coincide though they can. It didn't here.

I really enjoy this one. I got this in a Le Monde Gourmand sampler set, and I received 7 different scents. I love rose and sugar, so this was right up my alley. This is very much a sugary rosewater scent as opposed to a strong, uberfloral rose. It's very light and clean. The longevity was average on me. It started fading after about 5 hours or so, and the sillage is easily buildable depending on your tastes. (Though don't expect to ever have a loud entrance or exit, it is NOT that kind of fragrance.) This would be wonderful for a spring or summer visit to a garden.

Obnoxiously soapy and harsh at first, but give it 10 minutes; it turns into an amazing clean, fresh rosewater scent with surprisingly good projection and longevity from this brand. You’re basically being assaulted with a bouquet of pink roses. GREAT rose cheapie! My con is that “macaron” implies gourmand, and this is not that. I’m not even getting “sweet” out of this. Just boisterous rose. But I’m actually okay with that, just think the name is very misleading.

just picked up the rose riche body mist at tj maxx which people on reddit are saying is the same scent. i like it quite a bit! relatively long lasting for a body mist. starts off pretty tart and dries into a fresh rose water scent. i was looking for a rose perfume to replace one i ran out of, and this was a solid, wallet-friendly choice pretty simple but that’s what i was looking for!🌹

The “Macaron” part of this fragrance is entirely lost on me. It’s gorgeous, don’t get me wrong, but there’s no gourmand or fluffy elements to this. It’s a linear rose fragrance. Clean, fresh, even soapy at times. It’s got some beautiful green notes to it, even though they’re not listed. If you’re a rose lover this one is a safe buy but don’t expect any sweet desert-like elements here.

Honestly, I enjoy this scent. I like to spray it on my clothes before bed and still smell it on them in the morning. Not much range to it, it is mostly sweet rose water as another reviewer said but I like it. Kinda powdery fresh which keeps bringing me back to it.

It smells exactly like sweet rosewater. I bought this at T.J Maxx for 5 dollars, if you're looking for a nice light rose scent this is great, but do not buy it unless it's considerably marked down. For 50 dollars you can get much nicer, more complex rose perfume.

A sweet rose-water like fragrance, simple and great to wear as an everyday gourmande. Not sure what I was expecting but it doesn't smell like macarons. An addition of almond in this case could've been nice, but not sure what I was expecting for the price point.

Smells like rose water desserts or candy. I associate this with Turkish delight candies. I like those and I like rose water toners etc. So I find this a calming nice scent that’s not too noticeable.

Upon spraying, this smells exactly like Mr. Bubble bubble bath! It dries down into a true rose water fragrance. The sweetness lingers, but doesn't cloy. It is a simple, fresh and clean rose.
