Rose Nuit de Mai

I just bought my first bottle tonight of Rose Nuit de Mai. This is on the Last Chance buys so this is going to be discontinued. I couldn't resist the notes in this. The fragrance opens with the fresh and delicate note of wild rose. A bunch of May roses blends with the delicious accord of violet and blackberry, heightened by cinnamon. Lingering woody base notes reveal the captivating scents of sandalwood, cedar and vanilla. In May in Provence, the young people from the Pays de Forcalquier celebrate the joys of the first harvests. According to tradition, they dance and sing around a tree decorated with rose garlands and colored ribbons. In the whirl of the night, when the scent of flower petals blends with the woody trail of bonfires, the perfume in the air bewitches and seduces... The Rose Nuit de Mai Eau de Toilette evokes the atmosphere of those May festivities with a floral woody sensuality. How can any lady resist this fragrance?

I bought the beautiful bottle and I'm glad I did, because it's a nice add to my collection, still I need to wear it more to feel involved. I expecte a much darker/intense rose scent, stronger than the Eau des 4 Reines, but it isn't. Rose Nuit de Mai is more of a red cold rose with a hint of wood, very pleasant anyway. Edit 18/10/2009 This fragrance is growing on me! It's much more interesting than it looked like. It gives me a feeling of wellbeing and it's definetely feminine and alluring without being aggressive or too upsetting. I enjoy it in these early times of cold weather, but it's not totally a warm scent for colder season.

This perfume was a favorite for me and my mom. We really enjoyed it every drop. When I wanted to buy it again , it was discontinued, jaja I felt very sad , because deep inside of me , I would miss that rose aromatic composition. Actually I haven’t find something similar , and for that price. My favorite moment to wear this , was before going to bed and after a long lukewarm bath. It was romantic, relaxing and classic , femenine and magical.

Best rose perfume I have ever had. Not too sweet and sharp but rather creamy, woody, ethereal. A masterpiece. Silage, performance and dry down were perfect. I will never understand why it got discontinued. Perhaps the inability to maintain the supply of raw materials? Could be a reason, I think. Perhaps perfumes like Chanel 5 remain being produced after four decades or more is because it’s almost synthetic, I guess. Well, that’s it.

I loooove this frag..I just started combining this one with Tea Rose from the Workshop and it smelled divine! Using it alone or to layer with musky or other roses perfumes, you can't go wrong with this one. Very elegant; a rose scent with a woody & spicy dry down. Just lovely! So sad they discontinued this one as I like it more than eau des 4 reines.
