Rose Perfection

A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet Roses are aesthetically visually beautiful and smell just as beautiful as they look. They are treats for the sense of sight and smell. I also love the texture and feel of rose petals. For me this fragrance is a dreamy, sensual, velvety rose. It can come on as rather strong so don't apply liberally. It is not powdery although when it's soft it's still very realistic and true to the scent of roses. I detected some fresh, green floral rosebush scent, along with the bloom of a rose, a red and pink rose. As with most roses the odor profile can be described as being citrusy, deep, romantic, feminine but in this case neither soapy nor powdery. Rose Perfection is more of a lush deep Oriental mature rose. It smells like a Middle Eastern rose cologne not a European rose perfume. There are ambers, musks, incense, some creamy tones of perhaps tuberose (unlisted) and a touch of sandalwood. The luxurious rose can be quite the experience so this is suited to experienced rose fragrance fans. As for what time of year to wear it, this is a spring and summer rose but it can also be worn in the fall and winter. It's an any season rose. She is also an any time of day rose. Day wear. Evening wear. But make no mistake. This gorgeous epic rose is asking you to wear her with formal and glamorous clothing, not T Shirt and jeans. I wear this to the Opera, the Symphony, wedding receptions, dinner parties and other black tie galas. As a rose fan, this hits the spot. There are many rose fragrances out there that are of this caliber: Calligraphy Rose by Aramis, Sa Majeste La Rose by Serge Lutens and La Fille de Berlin. She is unapologetically fragrant, exotic, even. This is not as dainty or as typical a rose as some might think. I really enjoy this fragrance oh and let me finish by stating that because it has those darker touches of deep amber, resins, musk and incense, it has a unisex air so it can be worn by men who enjoy rose scents in their colognes. This is a stylish and very beautiful perfect rose fragrance captured by the same house that gave me the most memorable perfumes of my entire life like my Fracas which was my wedding day perfume. If you love rose notes in your perfume, this is going to blow you away. So beautiful. Ravishing roses. Thank you Robert Piguet

A while ago I said that roses in perfumery are not old-fashioned, despite their popularity. I still think roses have many new stories to tell and can be interpreted with lots of creativity and I sustain my words by mentioning two good examples of this: Trance from J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin and La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens ( now I realize both involve not only good and original roses, but also the name of a great city). Moving to Rose Perfection, I must add that for me it is not a big surprise, because it is produced by one of my favorite brands ever, Robert Piguet. Actually when I say Piguet you can imagine red little hearts in my eyes :)). So thank you, dear house for my signature scent Visa, for "the Fracas" classic and Petit, and now for this gorgeous rose which trully deserves it`s name. It is a dark, natural but refined red rose, lush and strong. Not the type that grows or transforms itself very much on your skin, as it is big and mature right from the start, and it also does not seem to need any complementary notes around, because alone it`s perfect. Don`t be afraid, you will not get enough of this, as it is not boring to look at the photo of your loved one the whole day...

Well, it certainly isn't true that when you've smelt one rose you've smelt them all!! And I certainly have never heard that said!? It couldn't be more inaccurate!! This is a sublime sublime sublime rose perfume!!! It's roses. Roses are the most varied of smells you can get!! There are millions of different roses, and their scents are widely varied. This perfume has a perfect blend of a few different rose fragrances, made into one beautiful bouquet - or even a beautiful rose garden, crammed with all sorts of varieties, all in varying stages of bloom. It's completely heavenly. It has a beautiful spicy edge to it, and is very very lush. Fabulous. The sillage is superb; everyone can smell me a few feet away, and always say how gorgeous I smell, and my husband ADORES it!!!! It's beautiful!!! And it lasts well. It is Rose Perfection!!!!

pure, unadulterated, perfect rose. I have never found a perfume that is named so aptly. this is the epitome of a good, solid, classic rose. It doesn't even smell like a rose "garden", it just smells like millions and trillions of perfectly shaped, perfectly fragrant rosebuds. it's like you dived into an ocean of dewy rose petals! don't ever worry about it smelling old fashioned, there is no grandma here to be seen, anywhere. it isn't sour at all either. you know how some perfumes make you "feel" beautiful? this is one of the best examples of that. it exudes beauty and elegance, it really makes you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, bar none. If I ever have a daughter, this is the first perfume I would give her. It is that precious and blindingly perfect! highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended to all rose-lovers.

Wearing it feels like you been sleeping on bed from rose petals, for breakfast had cup of rose-tea and rosy-jam on rosy-toasts, that your dress is of rose colour and the whole air induced with rose essential oils. Sounds like too much, isnt it?..Its a right rose for mazohist! The problem is that I like it, it clicks with my rose-cravings, but the price on this perfection is not that perfect at all. Its very potent and very strong, last night I sprayed on sweater-sleeve, but when I took it off to be ready for bed, from my own skin the scent of the dark rose was rising around my head, and I smelled it on the morning. Yet I applied the leftovers of the sample, true mazohist! *sigh* In my memory it will stay one of the most favourite roses, among Paestum, Luten's Sa Majesty and Rose Anonyme.

One of ROSE PERFECTION , indeed. This fragrance deserved recognition. Not only it’s a modern rose, it’s beautiful, classy, and youthful at the same time. Everyone keeps complementing whenever I wear this. The main star of the fragrance is POWDERY ORRIS . There are also soft rose petals scent and subtle fruity sweetness with mild musk blended to perfection. This is not a soliflore rosy scent with the green aspect of stem & leaves like Frederic Malle Une Rose or Jo Malone Red Rose. It’s a different take on rose with its own sophistication. Longevity is about 7 hours on clothe and project 2 feet around the wearer. It’s love for me and I am so happy to discover my first Robert Piguet.

THIS is what YSL:s Paris should have smelled like! No, not really, but I feel that this is true rose with a violet aspect and without the super powderyness of Paris. But forget Paris. Rose Perfection is clearly stunningly made and to me, loving the loud scents of this world, slightly too demure. But wait a minute- things do happen here! From the slightly spicy tang of the opening rose hug this develops both in fruity, musky and creamy ways. Its demure, yes, and pure, but really way more interesting that this sounds. Actually, I have few words for it. Exceptional creamy, dreamy, slightly violet pastille like rose with more serious undercurrents.

I would have called this "Blue Rose", because evidently rose perfection involves a huge dose of violets and a side of iris. The violets must make up a huge part of the formula, they're metallic and starchy and have an electric, deep blue intensity that gives contrast to the plush, velvety rose. Iris adds a silver sparkle of moondust. The rose aspect is indeed perfection, its deep and naturalistic, wine-like and acidic. It's hard to understand why this kind of rose, deep and formal, was missing from the market but I'm sure happy I found it! 10/10

Rose Perfection by Robert Piguet is pure rose bliss! This is rolling around in bundles of lush pink rose petals while they shower you from the heavens like rain. I detect a bit of fruit in the opening (It could just be how one of the types of roses in this fragrance smell) but this also has a very feminine musk. If you really love roses then this fragrance is an absolute must to have in your collection. I blind bought it and I love it! When I am channeling my inner Elle Woods meets la vie en rose vibes – I reach for this every time!

Oh what a glorious glorious Rose Perfection!!! Perfection!!!! It's gorgeous. Beautiful. A gorgeous bouquet of deep red velvety roses!!! Oh it's such a deep, rich, sensual smell!! It's very swoony! I love roses, and this one is one of my very favourites. It's such a smooth and true rose! Very potent, very strong, which I adore!!!! Elegant, womanly and majestic!! Romantic to the hilt! And it lasts!!! Fabulous!!! Pure Rose Perfection for me!!!!

Fragrance that evokes bucolic and romantic atmospheres: a morning walk, on a spring day immersed in a lush rose garden, full of magnificent and magnetic roses, roses soaked in fresh dew that rise in the soft rays of the early morning sun. Roses with an enveloping, delicate but inebriating scent. Rose Perfection by Robert Piguet is the rose fragrance par excellence. Pure magic. Chapeau.

When I put this on my first thought was "oh no, this can't be right". It was light, fresh and somewhat more sweet and jammy than I thought it would be. But I left it on and during the dry down the sweetness went away and this blossomed into a full, lush, beautiful rose. It is linear and all you get is rose, but oh, so creamy and wonderful.

Ok, I think I am done with rose-themed perfume now. I can stop the searching one. It's nice all right but just not the one I have been looking for. Maybe the so-called perfect rose perfume is only my imaginative product! But I do love the smell of the real rose! What's wrong with me?!

STUNNING fragrance! Not as spicy a rose as I would prefer, but oh--what gentle beauty. I feel like I am in a soft pink cloud wearing this--it makes me happy. I feel timeless--elegant, but not haughty. It does not last long on me--maybe due to dry skin--but it's worth re-applying.

I'm really impressed by Rose Perfection. Not tea rose, not powdery, not green. This is all lush, creamy red & pink rose that doesn't quit. The name pretty much nails it. Simple soliflore? Yes, but nothing boring here at all. I can't stop loving this.

This is the smell of my childhood.We spent days stripping the neighbours roses of rose petals trying to replicate the gorgeous high summer scent of dewy pink roses.It never worked.Piguet have perfected this.Its aptly named and just sheer perfection.

Top notes: Rose oil Bulgaria Middle notes: Rose Absolute Base notes: Ambroxan and Musk Creamy and Dreamy!

The purest and classiest rose I know...

I wore this the other day and I suppose I like it? It's rose ffs! However I found it to have a soapy, slightly annoying trail that you could taste. Seriously. Modern, musky and diffusive. It's smells different at a distance to close up. Close you get some lightly vanillic, clean musk infused with rose and at a distance more sweet, fatty rose. This is a perfumed, perfume and evokes...no screams the colour pink. As such I felt very self conscious wearing it, and that's not me at all. I think it's because there's no oud, no woods no patchouli or the usual suspects to speak of and nothing as a counterpoint or anchor to the relentlessness of rose accord in here. It's complex in and of itself but not enough for me to get onboard. I'm not one who utters this particularly often but Rose perfection is too feminine for me.

Beautiful pink & red sweet roses! This is to my nose its initial opening is a sugared Rose, so it must be the ambroxan I'm picking up strongly, my skin however tends to play up the "sweet" notes, Its along the same vein of KM Attar de Roses, sugared sweet pink roses skirting along gourmand territory, but with the rosy rose of PW Tea Rose. Though Its linear, for Rose lovers who want "ROSE" with none of the other florals this is one to try. As it develops the sweetness abates thankfully. If you are after A ROSE and you happen to love rich rose scents like KM Attar de Rose, but find Tea Rose a little sharp, then this is a must try. It really is a perfect Rose.
