Vespers

Great fragrance where memory plays a part...Vespers is the one! More modern twist but still divine memory of Byzance by Rochas. Those who enjoy a truly femmine and floral scent. Taking a walk in late Spring Garden under the apple blossomed trees, between roses and violets and lily of the valley at my feet. Smell of the warm light woods, soft but strong aromas of sandalwood and cinnamon bark, white pepper without the heavy sweetness

This is an effervescent, tart fragrance. Ultra feminine wafts of green apple and violet leaf form the top notes on my skin, and are given a piquant sweetness by the cinnamon. Although apple and cinnamon are present, don't worry- this doesn't smell like a cozy bowl of oatmeal. This is a late afternoon romp through a hedgemaze- sprightly and sexy, in a careless way. Very very nice.

I seem to be the odd one out... on me, this smells woody and chocolaty. The fresh phase is just some short-lasting top notes, while this dark chocolate and wood-phase is the lasting notes on me, and hang around for more than a whole day

In order to understand Rouge Bunny Rouge fragrances, at least the Fragrant Confection line (white bottles), you have to understand their makeup. They are known for their nuanced, exquisitely blended iridescent shades evoking an otherworldly aura. The Fragrant Confections line is an extension of that: nuanced, unique; simultaneously magical and in tune with nature. I received a full bottle of Vespers for Christmas. I had put down my choices (I was actually only asking for samples) as Chatoyant, Vespers and Muse. They were out of Vespers samples so my mom chose that one for the full bottle and got samples of the others for me. This is bright, sunny but more like dappled sunshine. A tartness from the bergamot and the green apples tints the floral stage. Like using an Instagram filter that oversaturates the colors unnaturally, yet ultimately makes the composition more beautiful. I don't wear citrus fragrances, but the tartness is wonderful in this scent. Then there is the floral stage: it's not a carefully cultivated garden, but a wild one, disorganized, natural, lush and welcoming. The flowers blend together for me as I am a novice. There's more going on than just a bouquet of flowers, but I couldn't tell you what. The dry down is warm, cozy, perhaps a little incense wafting in from somewhere. The stages seem like they wouldn't go together: tart, floral, woodsy incense but everything flows beautifully together. Overall, this is a gentle, surprising and thoroughly enjoyable romp in a secret garden. The journey is pleasant and daydreamy, unfolding at a leisurely pace. For me this is a casual and energizing fragrance and as down to earth as I get. It's still otherworldly enough that I like it, but has more ties to nature than I usually seek.

A very pretty scent. For some reason I detected the rose first. The lily of the valley and apple sparkle. Fresh, a little fruity. All creamy from the white musk. Another casual wear scent leaning towards the feminine. It dries down to a big dash of musk with a little violet leaf and pepper. I can see why others see a similarity with SJP Lovely etc. If you want a very safe scent that couldn't possible offend anyone's nose then this a strong contender. Weak sillage but longevity moderate.

Dry, cold, snowy and sunny weather is the best for this kind of perfumes (pleasures Estée Lauder, J’adore Dior, Idylle Guerlain, Vespers RBR) Lilly of the valley is just ringing and sparkling in the cold. Very Nostalgic scent!

flat laundry detergent level sophistication fragrance. low key, short longevity. high price. not for me, more for you! :)

This definitely reminds me of a better (more complex) version of "Lovely"... I think it's the muskiness of it... The more I smell "Vespers", the more I like it. The "greenness" is definitely strong when smelled directly from the bottle but it fortunately doesn't translate on my skin after a couple minutes.

Morejmh: Your review sold me on this perfume. I am blind buying it tonight. I adore Lovely but it just doesn't last on my skin. This sounds like a GREAT plan. Will update soon!
