Rodier pour Femme

I love overly sweet perfumes and to me this is on the lighter side of sweetness, it is also fresh. To my nose it is a creamy floral. I never had a good orange fragrance, though I love orange essential oils. I don't detect the orange in this. At first I smell mandarin, amber, sandalwood. Then mandarin fades nicely and the flowers come up front. It's zesty. The dry-down is very soft and smooth, not rosy so it must be the nerium oleander and amber with a bit of sandalwood dryness to it. This fragrance is having low sillage, so although it isn't the lightest, only those who stand too close to you will smell it :) Initial blast reminds me of Fred Hayman's Rodeo Drive....but the dry-down is far more superior and exquisite. Smells like a beautiful memory....maybe a bit like Anais Anais...yes that's what it is....it took an at least an hour for this perfume to transform into a gorgeous final stage...it is late night and this fragrance outlasted some others that I wore, and kept me smelling my left arm. It can be a comfort or signature scent of mature ladies, it's not for young ladies. Spicy Rodeo Drive, gourmandy Casmir or leathery Anais Anais are much sweeter. Rodier's fragrance doesn't remind me of honey at all, just of expensive cream and flowers :)

Supernice every-day-scent. Lovely Roses, Amber, Mandarin and soft very woman'ish Sandalwood in base. Longlasting on my skin. A gem! Supertrevlig varje-dag-doft. Ljuvliga Rosor, Amber, Mandarin och otroligt kvinnlig Sandelträ i basen. Väldigt hållbar på min hud. En liten skatt!

Intensive and sweet honey. A good-quality perfume, long-lasting. Drydown is the same as the start - buckwheat honey, bittersweet and deep. Though the sweetness is not killing: you won't abuse people around with this scent - it's quite gentle. Wakening and cheering-up perfume. But! - one should be careful with overdosing it.

I received a sample of this a long time ago. It's got a distinct sweet smell. It smells like a honey-flavoured lolipop candy on my skin, which makes me feel peculiar as i don't like the idea of smelling like that. I also found it to be TOO linear, and quite possibly TOO flat, for my liking. Despite the fact that it had a different smell then anything i've smelled before, it felt very boring and mediocre. And lastly, the lasting power was extremely short lived. I'm not sure what age group is this fragrance really aimed at, but it seems it would fit pre-teen girls the most.

Rodier pour Femme smells exactly like hot pink oleander blooms. I have this fragrance on my left arm and an oleander bush in bloom right in front of me, and they smell identical. It's a honeyed floral, so I see why some compare this to orange blossom forward scents, but there is a green twist to it so that it's different. If you haven't been up close to a blooming pink oleander, you may not recognize this for what it is. On me it is a light oleander soliflore, very fleeting. If Yardley made an oleander soliflore, this would be it. Nice for hot summer days. Low sillage, transparent, as you expect from an EDT.
