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.

My review is for the EDP. I am totaly in love with this beautifull perfume. So gentle sweet but not too sweet. My little treausure. All notes( freshness form the apple and the softness from the mimose and the linde) blends so well together, really a great scent.

Now to the winners in the Parfums de Rosine sample kit. Rose d'Ete starts off w/ a crisp and very realistic green apple. The apple is just as sweet/tart as it can be. Smelling the opening of this perfume is like biting into that apple and having your mouth tingle w/ delight. As the perfume goes along it becomes a very pretty and light tea rose w/ a lovely linden blossom. Lotus comes through throwing a touch of watery clean shampoo type freshness but never ruining the main stars of the show which are the pretty pink tea rose and linden blossoms. Mimosa can at times be a very powdery note which I love but here the powder is not strong so if you dislike powdery perfumes don't worry, this is a very gentle powder. The mimosa here is giving a golden and sunshine like smell in this perfume rather than a heavily powdery one. The dry down is a gentle musk combined w/ all of the above smells. It is a lovely swirling perfume to delight the senses. A day in the park, or a lovely garden. Spring flowers, the gentle warmth of sunshine and a crisp Granny smith apple to snack on. Delightful, feminine, pretty.

With my chemistry it starts with a fresh apple and rose scent, moving into a rose and linden blossom heart with the mimose and lotus making brief but lovely appearances and moving into the final drydown where I get rose, violet and chammomile with a lovely ambrette and just enough musk to make it soft. It is a very clean scent on me and as I am someone who enjoys that, I have moved from like it in the air to quite like it on my person. Thank you to KittyKati who sent me this lovely fragrance in a very generous decant!

"Rose D'Ete" as other perfumes by Les Parfums de Rosine might be best described with the word "nice". It's nothing groundbreaking nor unique, but makes a decant choice for everyday wear for those who enjoy rose fragrances. In fact, I believe this is unisex as the scent is rather sour and could be easily worn by man as it never gets too floral or sweet. As far as staying power goes, this was a pleasant surprise and lasted well over 6 hours with the slightly sweet musk dry down reaching almost 9 hour mark.

Such a pretty scent! I found Rose D'Ete to be a light, ethereal, feminine and subtle rose soliflore. I found that it didn't develop terribly sweet or overly sour on me, and it smelt mostly like a natural rose that was quite soapy. The scent was also linear. Soft sillage on me, but I would love to follow someone wearing this. It smells so beautiful when carried on the breeze. Only lasts for about 3-4 hours.

hmmm i adore roses and this one is perfect! ;-p very rosy and a little bit sweet(melon), couldn't stop sniffing and looking forward to use it in summer! BUT fragantica didnt mention all the notes ;) here they are Top notes: Galbanum, Green Apple,Bergamot. Heart notes: Pink Yellow linden flowers, Mimosa, Lotus. Base notes: ambrette seeds, Musk.

A whiff of a new rose bud, opening in the sun, with the green notes of the surrounding leaves. Fresh, clean and new. The next stage keeps the rosy-green freshness, and begins to mingle with the green apple and other floral notes. In the end, it is a light rose-floral fragrance, with limited depth and development.

Smells like galbanum, lime blossom, and musk. It's a bit tart but not sour and not sweet either. It smells like a fresh out the shower scent. It's a little scratchy but as I move my hand the loveliest fresh scent wafts in around me. This is nice! -

It was a humid morning of October that I was out for a walk with my kids when I entered a perfum shop and there it was! It smells perfect, its light and fresh and I'm sure I want to buy it even for winter!

Fruty fresh ,clean and deligthful. the light yellow rose in the garden early morning one a beautiful day . The mimosa and linden blom in this fragrance makes the whole differens. i love it

This smells just like J’adore EDP to me. Especially the opening. After a few min I can tell them apart but still quite similar.

Not a summer scent for me. It is a summer rose, but warm and sweet, very cozy. Best for using in winter.

Well, by the fact it is named "Summer Rose" I should have known better... It is in fact a very fruity/sunny fragrance and I am not much in fruity notes. I think it is just personal taste. This fragrance is obviously a quality frag, well blended and summerish, easy to wear, young. What I get upfront is a very strong note of banana and other summer/tropical fruits (some melon, and possibly mango). I absolutely do not get the citrus notes that are mentioned in the pyramid - then comes the rose (and some heady mimosa that triggers migraines)... but the fruity notes are predominant I must say. The drydown is still sweet and lays on a very common musk/ambrette combination. In any case I should have known better: how can I possibly like anything that is said to be Naomi Campbell's favourite? LoL. Just kidding.

Has a really strong and unappealing soap note for me. The apple does come through, as does rose, but the combination is not enjoyable. Un Zeste de Rose bodies this imo, if you want a fresh, joyful, summer take on rose.

(A review originally posted on MakeupAlley in 2005, I wanted to re-post it here now because I do not use MakeupAlley anymore [but have many fond memories of using it] and I am trying to get back into writing reviews, using old 'work' as inspiration...): I loved this when I first bought it, melons, apples and yellow roses brought back memories of country landscapes and pretty brightly painted clapboard houses...the creation of a yellow rose based scent seemed somehow genius and so simple at the same time (are there other yellow rose based scents out there?). Whereas Floris has a white rose scent which I have yet to sample, and Frederic Malle's Lipstick Rose seems pink to me, this was an exciting discovery, something different than tea rose, tuberose, and the perfect red rose scents out there (for me Rosine and Fresh, and Creed's Fleurs de Bulgarie). After a while I found it didn't mix well with my chemistry so I've given the rest of the bottle to a special friend who I think suits the uplifting qualtiy of this fragrance. Even though it turned out to not be perfect for me I think this scent deserves a place as something rather understatedly revolutionary. Wet juicy summer fruit (even apple comes to mind, green and crisp) and glowing yellow rose. Delicious.
