Rykiel Rose

From a male stand point. I have to say i absolutely love this. My wife recently started wearing this. At first spray it comes of a little powdery and strong but the dry down on this is amazing. It's like the softest most delicate rose swimming in a sea of soft amber and a lovely soft white musk. It is a very pretty and feminine scent. For you ladies out there. This would make a beautiful date night scent. Just the thought of it makes me want to do naughty things with my wife...lol...it's a beautiful and very underrated womens perfume. If you are looking for a very unique and beautiful scent and don't want to smell like every other girl out there with their Paris Hilton or viva la juicy, try this. Wow him tonight!

This perfume is so sophisticated, that maybe it is a bit TOO sophisticated. It is extremely well blended, but somehow it can be very demanding of the wearer. Something like it is saying: 'Do you smell me, do you understand me, do you see me for who I am?' I do love it and I will be buying myself a large bottle, but I would suggest wearing this one when going on a date with a man that is overdoing his intelligence and is trying to belong to the happy few. This perfume really fits that bill.

This is interesting!!! Sonia Rykiel in my book, makes only masterpieces, the original (OMGOMG!), Belle en Rykiel (wauw!), le Parfum.... And this is actually a very 'old school' rose. Thereby meaning like the vintages were made, very well done!! A.

floral-woody-sweet; rose runs around in every phase of the scent evolution;

I am not gonna lie about this one. I purchased this one because of the bottle and I already had the original of this scent. I purchased it blind and I didn't like it all. It smelled like a cut rose that had been sprinkled in pink Himalayan salt. This one was on my vanity for another 2 years before I was able to appreciate this unique take on a spring floral. I wish I could say this 2 year delay was because my sense of smell had become refined but nope that wasn't the case. I was out one evening and I met a woman randomly at a bar and while we were chatting I kept getting a whiff of her fragrance and it was so exotic and wonderful. Finally I got up the nerve to ask her what she was wearing and she said "Rykiel Rose." I was like " Really?" I couldn't believe that she was wearing this same fragrance that I was allowing to collect dust. I wore my own to work the next day and got three compliments before noon. Slowly this has become one of my go to fragrances. It is nice and you won't find a lot of women rocking this scent. Love it!!!
