Une Tonne de Roses 8

Beautiful pink rose, tender and naturally sweet. The patchouli is subtle yet gives a earthy touch to the rose, enhancing the impression of being in front of a real rose bush, with roots clinging to the wet soil and droplets of rain on the leaves. This is the most realistic smell of rose I've ever come across so far, but with none of the unpleasantries usually found in rose essences, like the artichoke smell, or geranium enhancement. Performance is average, it lasts 4 hours with no issues and few hours more as a subtle skinscent. Sillage is intimate, you can overspray but this is a perfume for people looking for something natural and delicate. If you need a "loud" rose fragrance I'd go with something different. Can be worn all year round, but Spring is probably the most appropriate.

I don't understand how some people say the Parle Moi perfumes are linear or have simple notes. I don't find that at all. They seem simple but have so much going on in the background. Especially true of this one. There is way more going on here than rose and patchouli. I just can't put my finger on it. Some sparkling fruit? Lovely green in there. And a creamy woody dry down. I love all the perfumes I have tried from this house and I think they are expertly done. I have at least 5 bottles on my wish list. 🖤

Whoa, this one I actually like! And I am very picky about rose. I assumed by the name the main note would be rose, but it shocked me how great this rose is and had to check other notes. Patchouli? No, it has to be fruit note and I would also say some other flower. Maybe honeyed-white flower. And I agree with others, pear note. I love it and I don't think it's linear.

So delicious of a scent! It's very fruity with a light hint of rose. Fresh, clean, fruty-aromatic. Amazing for tbe high heat, doesn't radiate too much after the first 3hrs, but it does last around 8hrs. Raspberry off the top and settles into this calm soothing smell of woods, fruit, and rose. Simplistic, yet delightful indeed. I simply love this offering.

I am a sucker for fresh citrusy flowers and this is an absolute dream. It smells like zesty lemon cake in a sunny rose garden. I absolutely love this and wear it often. Sometimes I pair it with a vanilla perfume oil too warm it up just a little and it’s great! Disregarding the price, I can imagine this being very good for layering in general.
