Boudoir Belle (Rose)

Couldn’t be described better than the previous reviewer (GRAF). Indeed a very linear scent, Dove soap it is - and that’s what’s so addictive - linear soapy musk without going into cloying territory. It gives a feeling of being very comfortable and “at home” all through the day. Quite impressive, how potent and long lasting it is.

This is very potent, linear, versatile and simple scent. It smells exactly like Dove soap on steroids. It opens like Dove soap and it remains till the end. After many hours a light sweetness emerges. It has "rose" in its name but.. rose is the weakest in this blend. Dominant notes are ylang, musk, aldehydes and mild benzoin. The rest notes are very mild. It leans to femnine scents imo. Beware, most creations of this house stain slightly the clothes.

As a 80s kid this reminds me of my grandmothers makeup case. The air spun and powder compacts. It’s airy, powdery, with a slight sweetness. A hint of white bar dove soap and aqua net hair spray. Absolutely unique and classic. A very well kept woman in pearls or a soft woman at work. I really like it.

Good fragrance but it does not carry the wow factor by any means. It is very similar to Lorenzo Teint de Neige. Its nice in the begginig but it later turns into a old talcum powder smell. I do not gravitate to that kind of powder but I think it can smell good on a woman in spring or fall.

This scent is all about powder and petals. The aldehydes hit first with a clean, airy feel, then the rose and ylang-ylang bloom softly. It settles into something cozy with musk and vanilla. If you love scents that smell like classic makeup and floral soap, this one delivers.
