Mauboussin Lovely à la Folie

This is gorgeous lemon/white rose perfume. You can get it for a song thru discount houses. I definitely smell lemon and white roses. The fragrance doesn't last more than 3 hours, however, but it is so pretty, fresh and lemony that I just reapply. And reapply! So much classier than the celebrity perfumes, and also very natural smelling. Sometimes I wear Mauboussin Rose Pour Elle on one wrist and this Lovely on the other. But if I compared Rose Pour Elle with A La Folie and Lovely A La Folie, this Lovely is the best. It has been great fun wearing the three "rose" perfumes, but I do wish they lasted longer!

I like lemons a lot but often have a hard time with lemon notes in perfume; either they are too artificial, or in combination with floral or pine notes, they start to bring up bathroom deodorizer / floor cleaner / dishwashing detergent connotations. Thus, I was quite pleasantly surprised with this perfume, which is a pure, crisp, refreshing lemon zest. There's nothing much else to get in the way, but on a hot day this is ideal because it could never become stifling. Like it!

Just lovely, I don't usually much care for lemony notes, but this is so lovely and zesty but not sharp, must be the white flowers that just keep it pretty and fresh. I'm usually one to wear big fragrances and I adore the original Mauboussin, and while this isn't heavy in the same way, it does have some of that originality to it. Lovely summer evening perfume. I just love it.

This smells like Sicily in summer. Zesty lemon, soft rose, and a slightly spicy musk base are the main notes here. It’s delightful and cheery, something I wear when it’s warm out and I want a refreshing, uplifting scent.

This is likely not something I would normally blind buy based on the notes. I actually ordered thinking I was getting A La Folie. After noticing my mistake, I was horrified to see apple among the notes, but white rose had me hopeful. I don't have anything really lemony in my collection, and this is primarily a lemon musk. I get a little peek of the white rose note. I'd love for that to be flipped around into the main attraction here. I sense sharpness from the apple, but it doesn't ruin the scent even for an apple scent adverse gal like me. Very casual. Lemon shampoo. My 5 year old liked the bottle a lot. It's huge. A huge triangle. Does anyone feel like Maub goes out of their way to make difficult bottles?
