Rose d'Ete

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) ROSE D’ETE... Such a great name for this beautiful summer fragrance! The scent is fresh and reminds me of a summer garden. This rose is definitely not from the hothouse. I can almost hear the insects buzzing over the pale yellow rose and the sunshine on my face as I enjoy it’s innocent and slightly sweet aroma. The rose in this scent is not capricious and pampered queen but rather simple but beautiful young girl who loves spending time outdoors looking after the gardens and enjoying the nature. The opening at first is very natural green apple and bergamot but as soon as the scent settles on the skin I could detect galbanum with its earthy and spicy aroma. The galbanum is not overpowering but it adds a nice kick to the top and heart notes. The scent transforms into the gorgeous heart notes of the rose, linden flowers and mimosa. Linden flowers add sweet aroma and freshness. I detect fair bit of mimosa in this fragrance with its sweet and innocent aroma. I love mimosa scent and I think it is combined quite well with the rose and linden blossoms in this fragrance. The dry down is a soft floral musk. I have to admit that I am quite smitten with ROSE D’ETE. This charming summery fragrance definitely captured my heart with its fresh and natural composition. It managed to capture spirit of the summer with its sunshine, gorgeous flowers and blue sky. I will definitely wear this joyful and graceful fragrance in spring. The sillage is medium and longevity is fine (at least 8 hours). Notes from the Les Perfumes de Rosine website: Top: Galbanum, Green apple, Bergamot. Heart: Yellow rose, Lime (linden) tree flowers, Mimosa, Lotus. Base : Ambrette seeds, Musk.

This is my favourite out of all from the Rosine House- fresh, green , crisp rose scent . Love that the rose isn’t overpowering in this fragrance . I find it light , even aquatic . Such a lovely scent for the summer weather . Not sure why it mentions powdery in the main accords as I don’t get that at all. It’s so light that I can spray this all over me like a cologne without it being intoxicating . I usually go for white florals but this scent has won me over with the mimosa , linden blossom and lotus. Such a well made perfume which makes me feel happy and fresh when I wear it . LKNU had a 50% sale on some Rosine perfumes so I bought a bottle and a bottle of Vive la Mariee , my second choice,

I have all the samples for this fragrance line, and so far, this particular one is in the top three produced by Rosine, in my opinion! I absolutely adore the way the fragrance unfolds, especially the juicy top notes! It reminds me of a sparkling glorious summer morning, full of promise. The rose is this scent is oh so subtle, it is a beautiful blend, that does not remind me of any other I know. I like to wear a different fragrance every day, and this may be one of maybe two that I buy in the future. ps-I just received the new Cereus women's fragrance samples in the mail today, as well. Send them an email, and they will send you samples, too! Enjoy the discovery!

Such a tasty (mmjammy) delicious rosey fresh smell! Together with Une rose au bord de la mer this is my favorite of the Rose de Rosines. It s never too cloying fruity, never too citrusy fresh and never too watery meloney although you get some melone in the middle notes. And I can smell the linden and a soft mimosa in the dry down together with the amery musk it makes a PERFECT summer scent! And like Diablolo Rose which is also very nice, it last very long on my skin!

Definite water note immediately reminds me of Acqua di Gio and I'm tempted to do a side by side. In fact... okay side by side comparison... ADG smells like grass mixed in water maybe with something yellow in it. RDE is watery but sweeter. But as I walked through Target the other day wearing this, I got a whiff of ADG... and then remembered I was wearing this. Very similar.
