Reverence

This is such a pretty aroma. The glass bottle is so lovely. I am finishing it up fast! This is a day time clean floral for wearing casually or semi formal things like tea, girlfriend time, and or weddings. When you spray it comes off subtle, sweet, a little bit citrusy with like neroli and the green notes that come with that. Green and white are the colors in it. There is a tea note but it's a light jasmine tea. The scent doesn't last long. It is very simple, linear, and intimate/skin scent. Does not have sillage. According to Fragrantica it has fruit notes including plum but I don't get any fruits other than very short fleeting citrus note like a little lemon. This is mostly a soft white jasmine perhaps freesia too. There is no rose to my nose. This is not musky either. It's bright and soothing. This is just something to put on when you want to smell clean, feminine, floral, fresh. There is a peaceful maturity to it. At the same time it is youthful and sweet. There is a classy elegance to it that never get too floral or too complex. Inoffensive and suited to office/work place just as it can be worn to formal social gatherings. I can't compare it to any perfume except maybe it's got a Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue vibe but that one is stronger. This is a very dainty tea perfume and white floral perfume. The dry down is simple. I think it's just a very light clean and soft sandalwood scent and possibly some amber. But it is over in less than 2 hours. Cheaply priced on Amazon but a good one if you like clean white florals and fresh florals. Great for spring and summer.

This brand (MdB) quite rare fragrance actually, and I really attracted by the cute bottles I have several MdB, and in my opinion Reverence is the finest MdB. if Marina ever claim her perfume to smells 'Royal', then this is the one. probably because I like the plum? either way, the scent is mesmerizing enough to be admired by anyone who like something different compared to the mass of sweet fragrance. this sweet floral is quite distinctive compared to the other mainstream fragrance out there. But, there come the drawbacks. The plague of almost all MdB, the projection comes short and longevity is not last long enough to finish a gala dinner. its quickly became a skin scent. spraying a lot in your clothes would help to increase it, maybe because Marina consider Royalty must behave unoffensive and unnoticed? if that so, I prefer not to be a Princess. seems that my decision to buy this fragrance is right, the bottle is the best part of this fragrance!

I have a tester of this "royal" perfume. It smells so soft, yet makes it's presence known to those close to me. I love fruity florals, and this perfume has the best of both worlds, blending the beautiful rose with the sweet fruits, & being balanced well with the light woody notes. Lasting power doesn't seem good, but then again I do use it sparingly, because I thought it would be a hard to find perfume. I just purchased the large bottle on Amazon, so I will be able to test it's longevity & projection with a few more sprays.

I received 100ml bottle as a gift, and I ́m addicted to it! I use this almost every single day; it ́s my winter day scent ...it ́s soft, classy, elegant, doesn ́t offend anyone...great office scent, and it smells unique. The only problem is that it doesn ́t last at least on my skin. This is a pity. But the smell is gorgeous...I don ́t care...I reaply that 5 times a day with pleasure.

Elegant, timeless, fragile and romantic. Like a naked madame Pompadour rolling in her silk pillows eating macaroons. The pyramid might seem boring, yet it's one of the most balanced soft floral blends I have ever owned. It was love from first sniff years ago, and still remains dear.

I bought this 5 years ago while I was in Versailles for a trip. It was love at first sniff! Very underrated brand and perfumes!

Nice,very nice floral fresh with some citrous in it ,so I love this fragrance...

Love Reverence when I first smelled it in Versailles and I bought myself a small bottle along with Cristal Royal as souvenirs. They first attracted me by their beautiful and elegant bottle designs but then impressed me with their lovely graceful scents which smell exactly like a real royalty. To me this is a fruity floral fragrance but with poor lasting power so soon become a skin scent. I am quite surprised by the different lasting powers of various Marina de Bourbon perfumes. I later found a shop selling MdB fragrances and bought another bottle called Royal Marina Turquoise, which has good lasting power as well as Cristal Royal. The former lasts about 4 hours on my skin while the latter lasts overnight. I once sprayed it on my sweater and scarf and it projected very well and even lingered for a few days! Though it was a bit annoying as I could not spray other perfumes during that few days. But the lasting power of that particular fragrance is super good! I don't know why this one has such weak lasting power and silage. However it will still be some of my favourite scents and I love to wear it in spring. P.S. I can't smell of any green or spicy notes. What I can smell are mostly rose and fruity note, probably plum.

I wonder who this Reverence (Reverence in english=a deep bow) is aimed at, since it is so exceedingly inoffensive as to be barely there. Its is rather "nice" - the ultimate damn-it-with-faint-praise adjective - in a fruity flowery kind of way, but it lacks the majesty, the plain old "oomph!" to cause me to humbly bow. Like all of Marina de Bourbon's bottles, Reverence's container itself is gorgeous. The juice however has very tightly spaced sillage - I can smell it, no one else near me can. It seems to last well, about 8 hours. Alas, these are the unexciting statistics for a pleasant, if ho-hum 6 out of 10 fragrance. Wear it to the office and Reverence your boss, if you wish, or buy it for the pretty bottle, but don't expect anyone to bow deeply to *you* when you wear it. Unless they see that faboo bottle...

I like this perfume a lot, although I wasn't sure if it's just nostalgia; I bought this during my first trip to Paris at Versailles when I was 16, and it was my first "proper" perfume after I left behind those awful £2 bodysprays most tweens and teens use. So I decided to buy another bottle a couple of months ago, and to my surprise it was just as lovely as I remembered - floral and fruity with a noticeable bergamot note, which becomes a sandalwood skin scent after a few hours (and sandalwood is my favourite base note). Although I wouldn't put it in my all time favourites, it's still a great fragrance, especially when I'm feeling particularly feminine.

I was looking for something new & the girl at the perfume shop convinced me on this one. I like it & yet I don't. Something about it, I guess I just don't like it on me though I've received compliments on it. This one & CK Euphoria I feel like I'm trying too hard to like. I do like CK Euphoria more than this one though. I don't plan to repurchase this one. It's soft & beautiful I guess, but I'm just not feeling it. I can't put my finger on what it is that I don't like about it. Many say it doesn't have lasting power but it does on me making it a bit cloying & that's probably why I don't like it, the cloying scent it has.

A rather rare brand in my country, it doesn't really rank among the cheapest fragrances in shops. Nevertheless Reverence is a nice musky floral.I don't detect any green notes. To my nose plum and rose stand out the most on a soft musk background which gives it and elegant and somehow classic aspect. It leads to an imminent comparison with Ferragamo's Incanto, which however is a lot more opulent with peach and sandalwood. Reverence is a more reserved alternative cutting the epic peach, if you find Incanto a bit too much. Good lasting power and sillage, but somehow unintriguing.

Jasmine, and a bit of spice at the start with a good bergamot note supporting it. I occasionally got a bit of the plum note that everyone is talking about but it was definitely more floral thank fruity on me. After about an hour rose made an appearance, and a really nice creamy watery freesia that isn't listed, and maybe a simpler floral like sweet william. In the drydown I could get some creamy sandalwood but it stayed under the rose freesia and jasmine. It lasted a good six hours.

Reverence by Princesse Marina De Bourbon is a nice sweet scent, smells like wet honeydew, very natural. There is no spicy, woody or powdery notes detectable. Proper for every day use, good for any informal situations, it will never annoy anybody at anywhere. Summer could be the best stage for it to show romantic and tenderness. The bottle looks divine, also designed with a hint of playfullness. Contrary to the name "Reverence", the perfume itself is quite easy to approch.

One of my inofensive loves, wich surely attracts compliments. So I use it quite often when I am not sure what I want to wear. I love the magical powderiness about it, It seems so simple but so well done. Unfortunately my nose gets numb to this fragance some days and all I can smell is bergamote (this hapens to me with other fragances also) Other days I can more notes for the whole day.

Bergamot is present through the first phase and became subtle until the drydown. Smells soft, fresh and inoffensive. I found it a lil bit similar to JLO's Deseo Forever but Reverence has that fresh, almost green like jasmine smell that I love which DF doesn't. Silage is moderate and the staying power's great up 8hours+ on me. Lovely bottle :)

I have to admit I bought this perfume because someone said it smelled like Perceive Avon, which by the way, is no longer marketed in Brazil. I liked the scent and now I could find one like that. It is a sweet perfume, soft and discreet as I like. The bottle is something charming and desirable. I love it.

Bought this on a recent trip from the USA to Russia,loved the notes but find the staying power is poor in comparison with other favorites of mine like Kiss of the Dragon for example This is very hard to find so I will use bottle I bought and see from there

Nice juicy fruits with a large bouquet of jasmine. A fresh floral classic. I agree it smells like something else familiar but also cannot think of what. Maybe it's just the simple jasmine. It's easy to wear and easy to enjoy.

Very pretty floral with just a hint of fruit to give it a little depth. I have a hard time with ultra-feminine scents but I kind of like this one. Unfortunately two hours later it is a whisper of sandalwood.
