Rose & Osmanthus

Rose & Osmanthus is actually all about rose on me. It opens with a watery rose adorned by green leaves. The rose is quite realistic despite the watery texture, and it turns a bit more fruity and sweeter as it dries down, as if there're some peony and fresh berries joining. I can hardly discern the osmanthus, though. The sillage is moderate to soft, and the longevity is around 7 hours. I find it a nice green rose overall, but there're other equally nice or better rose fragrances out there as well. Considering that it's a limited edition, I don't think it particularly worths the effort to aquire.

This one smells very nice and pleasant. Feminine, light but not too light, sweet but not too rosy. It lacks any flirty/sexy tone, and I don't mean it in a bad way, since women are not always trying to feel sexy! I wear it mostly at home. I can imagine wearing this scent on a relxed weekend with the family, or any other occasion when you want to smell nice but feel relaxed and content, nice and decent, not like you're looking for adventure. When going to church, maybe ;) I would say it is mostly for daytime, though it could be OK for a casual night. Suitable for summer/spring. Good for any age over 25, not right for a very young girl IMO. It is simple, non-assuming, safe. I got it as a gift from my sister and it is safe to give as a present since I can't imagine anyone actually hating this smell, but it's definitely not something I can't do without.

A very obvious watery rose note that's typical in many of L'Occitane rose fragrances, with the barest transparent hint of osmanthus thrown in the mix. I could smell some jarring notes of green in there, as well. The scent's texture seems too artificially smooth - not very well blended to my nose. Smells like a yellowish-pink scent. A tad too generic, imo.

This is a nice combination and the rose is beautiful. Nothing too green or too powdery and definitely not fruity. Quickly turns into a skin scent, so I wear it when I'm going to bed. Doesn't last very long either, around 3 hours till it's completely faded.

It's a lovely (just what it says it is) Rose & Osmanthus. Really lovely. Fresh and light and gorgeous.

Easily the best smelling one in the line.
