10 Une Rose Vermeille

My Sweet, how I love you <3 This wasn't the first fragrance from Andy Tauer to find favor, that honor goes to Le Maroc Pour Elle but it was the one years ago, I. HAD. TO. HAVE! That hasn't changed one bit. I didn't know I even had a tolerance for sweets, until Rose Vermeille sauntered under my nose and believe me, it is very sweet, though not cloying. The sweetness is definitely a gift from the raspberry. Raspberry can also take ownership of the jammy appeal. With that, it would be easy to label this a jammy rose and end there, but it's hardly doing the composition justice. While it is the best jammy rose I've spritzed, it's the addition of the mild spice (of the tonka bean) that makes it soooo nice for me! I frequently have difficulty distinguishing vanilla from tonka in the same composition. Not here. This tonka makes a difference. The ambergris is equally important to my experience in the base. It's solid and steady and just a little boozy preventing this from becoming just another floral/fruity concoction, one too linear to appreciate. Neither lavender nor violet catch my nose much. There is a slight powdery accord for me. Possibly from the violet. Citrus is also lost to me, not a single lemon, not a single lime and not a hint of bergamot. There is a smudge of lipstick though, towards the latter half of wear. I'd like to think it's a gift from the violet as well. Strangely, it's not out of place in the jam jar. Leave it to perfumer, Andy Tauer to make me a gourmand lover with Une Rose Vermeille. That's no small feat.

A deep and fruity, rich, warm rose. Not soft, not sugary, but dense and smooth. Une Rose Vermeillie has the same waxy quality I love in my favourite Tauer perfume, Carillon Pour Un Ange. It has a sort of lipstick texture. Tonka bean and amber (I noticed the amber right away) really warm up the scent. It's -20C here and Vermeille is behaving very nicely tonight! My favourite part of Une Rose Vermeille is the opening with that burst of tart lemon... I wish it would remain to cut some of the sweetness, but I'm not complaining. I enjoy the sweet smells of raspberries and strawberries in my perfumes. URV has been on my want list for some time. Although it isn't my holy grail rose perfume (that would be Guerlain Rose Barbare), personally I prefer these warm roses like Vermeille to spicy or green ones. My fiance said he thought my hair smelled pretty. It's the first time he has directly complimented the scent of my hair, although I do spray perfume there fairly regularly. I realized there is something special about this perfume, when I pulled a strand of my hair across my face to sniff it - there was a sort of darker quality to the scent than I had noticed at first, an alluring sandalwood. The definition of vermeil/vermeille from Larousse: D'un rouge vif un peu plus foncé que l'incarnat. My translation: A brilliant red that is more opaque than translucent.

This fragrance takes me to my childhood daydreams in southern Italy and is the antidote to the hottest days of August. Yet it's all grown up in cool, casual and feminine sophistication. First whiff is herbal and a tiny bit bitter as if it is cooling the nasal passages as if it were a palate cleanser paving the way for the fruits and violets. Lemon and raspberry swirl together with a cool powdery background. A bit like cool wet plaster humming in the background. The rose and amber ground it and prevent it from being a sugary cheap confection and the lemon and raspberry lend a sweet crispness that prevent this fragrance from being dusty or heavy. On me there is a point when Une Rose Vermeille is fresh and yet creamy. I cannot stop smelling my wrists - I am in LOVE with this fragrance and can't wait to see how cooler weather affects it. The sillage is strong at first but it quickly becomes moderate. The longevity is not as intense as I had hoped. Lasting perhaps 5 hours instead of the longevity normally associated with Tauer perfumes. I am a huge fan of Tauerville Roseflash, Fruitchouliflash, Sotto la Luna Gardenia, Sotto la Luna Tuberose, Incense Rose and Tuberoseflash. I feel that Une Rose Vermeille is absolutely unique and a fantastic addition to my Tauer/Tauerville collection.

I bought my bottle the first year it was released so it was from an original batch and has since been used and loved. As I have reviewed on other sites, Une Rose Vermeill is not your grandmothers' rose. It is a youthful, glowing- metallic rose. On my skin, usually worn through Spring-end of summer on the west coast so for me it started off with a very green/ crisp and fresh vibe. It has a very clean start. I believe the crisp start is what lends its soapy feel people are commenting about. Also, due to this crisp start the middle develops into a metallic, cooling rose which is what I loved about this fragrance. In terms of modern perfumery, Une Rose Vermeille hits the spot by bringing forth a modern sensibility to the rose genre. The dry down and base, is where I pick up the gourmand and fruity jam that lends a sensible sweetness to the composition. It isn’t overpowering. I did not feel like I was suffocating in a mass produced sugary frag. Wearing Une Rose Vermeille, gave me a touch of playfulness but not without a sense of sophistication added in. It is a perfect day time fragrance which lasted a good 8 hours on my skin. Perfect for any day time activity .

This is my first try of Tauer fragrances and WOW this one really stands out from the sample set I got from Katarina82 (eternally grateful!). Gosh, I am very surprised by this scent. I usually like my roses to smell like...well...let's say roses i.e. mainly soliflores or perhaps slightly citrusy and this scent is not like that at all. On the first sniff I get absolutely divine smell of rosehip jam, sweet and intoxicating bubbling away in a big copper cauldron. I can almost taste it, it is so divine and I don't even like rosehip jam lol. I only put 3 small dabs on but I keep catching whiffs of this sweet jammy rose scent and thinking 'wow something smells nice' only to realise it is me! Somehow this scent reminds me of Christmas, I don't know why but I would say it's definitely a winter/cold weather scent. I am well and truly enchanted by it. Trouble is now, this is so gorgeous I WANT a bottle of it and it is rather expensive.

A delicious vanilla rose scented macaron with RASBERRY cream I love this , it's easlily my favourite Tauer , it stars slightly herbal and soapy due to the lavender , which I adore , it also makes this perfume so differnt from most , rosy gourmands ,,, soon the lavender takes a backseat and the fragrance becomes almost like a macaroon with a marzipan quality , powdery and creamy all at once with the raspberries and violets coming out. The drydown is gourmand and I would recomend this perfume to any gourmand lover out there. I am getting this , it's addictive. This is like a jazzed up Jersey to me ! Vanilla lavender rose with tonka bean. Lots of the same notes , this has been dolled up wit raspberry amber and violets but it's still very similar to my nose. With a Tauer flair rather than a Chanel flair. Very nice !!!

Seems to literally jump of your skin on first spray. I gave it a quick 3 spray blast to the wrist, and going in for the first smell it had me coughing. Powerful bubblegum note as others have said but also the distinct smell of violet going through strongly as well as everything grounded by an earthier smell of something like wet Tomato plant vines. The astringent, almost sour, note balances the sweetness and the whole thing smells pretty sophisticated as it settles having started like it was going to be a sugar bomb. Having tested and bought a few Tauer's now this one was something of a surprise. If you love Rose but with a dark green, sour, twist - this might just be the one for you. Beautiful, to my nose at least - lasting well for 5-6 hours.

This smells a lot like Rasperry Tart, the doll I had in the 80s! That is no bad thing and in saying that I do not wish to imply in any way that this is not refined because it is highly refined, it's a Tauer of course. To my nose, there is a distinct whiff of lavender in the opening followed by all the raspberry rose and vanilla goodness. This never becomes intense or overwhelming for me. Shades of Serge Lutens' La Fille de Berlin in its rosy aspect, that kind of lightness to the rose. It is a gorgeous addition when you want something sweet, comforting with no dark vibes whatsoever - and it just so happens to be perfect for me today. A no drama gourmand, just edible, soft and lovely to be around.

I once discovered an unknown wild species rose nestled against a sturdy oak tree stump.I have never forgotten the piercing sweetness of that rose. I grew fragrant roses for many years but even my most pampered hybrid tea roses (Double Delight and Mr. Lincoln) did not smell as beautiful as that wild species rose.Imagine my delight when I got an immediate scent memory of that special rose when I tried Tauer Une Rose Vermeille. TY Andy Tauer. :) In an interview I found on you tube Mr. Tauer described Une Rose Vermeille as " a happy rose sitting next to a gigantic raspberry. It is balanced with a lot of ambergris".If you love rose fragrances Rose Vermeille is a must try.

Rose Vermeille is the densest ever, - thick, scabrous aroma of raspberry with citrus upon first minute, opens up into sweetness, that suits to colour scarlet just right. It absorbs and plays with skin so hungrily, takes all the space even after you put clothes on, holds on that clothes for next few days, even my coat smells now by Rose Vermeille without one single drop ever been there. It is also like squashed rose oil, heated up by violet petals with plentiful added of hot raspberry jam - delicious aroma, made to be feverishly craved from afar.

Rich, fruity jam with only a touch of rose. In fact, I'd say the rose is hiding out a bit. Actually, this reminds me a lot of Parfumerie Generale's Brulure de Rose. The Tonka comes on very strong right from the start and actually steals the show after about 20 minutes. The jammy quality still lies underneath but it's taken a definite back stage. I like this alot but I'm not sure it's worth the price when you can get something that is so close for a bit less. And I do get the lipstick feel at the opening as well.

I feel a return to yesterday. A mother and her child, singing a lullaby with great tenderness and love. The warmth of a romantic evening. This is a very feminine perfume. It's like a caressing hand. This intense perfume invites to introspection. I do not remember any other perfume when I smell Une Rose Vermeille, and I feel that it is the charm made woman. The bottom notes are heavy, sweet, warm and sensual, and still remaining, after nine hours of being sprayed (one touch) on my skin, which is soft and smooth.

Une Rose Vermeille is a sweet, jammy rose supported by sparkling raspberry, but a touch of citrus keeps it honest. Une Rose is slightly gourmand but never in a foody way. I can smell a touch of vanilla in the base, but it has less of Andy's signature base notes than any of his other creations. This is a beautiful perfume that puts other watered-down fruity florals to shame. Une Rose is yet another of Andy's scents that I simply must own.

Raspberry rose jam with fresh lemon juice and sweetened with vanilla. Add some of Andy's fabulous ambergris, some sandalwood, a little lavender and violet and you end up with semi-gourmand lipstick rose heaven. Absolutely delicious and extravagantly casual. A bit feminine with a touch of a mysterious sensual edge. Absolutely enjoyable!

WOW! Yes, this is a punch in the face, but a beeeeaaaauuuutiful one! Tauer does an AMAZING job with roses. I (will) now own 3 of their "Une" rose fragrances....this, Kandahar and Chypree. All three are amazing fragrances. I want a bathtub filled with either of these and want to soak in it for days. Delicious!

I never ever had such amazing experience... this is most wonderful perfume I found in my life. It is not only my favorite and signature scent, when I wear it I can move to different world. Everybody who likes something special should try it. Go ahead and be in heaven :-)

It's instant love at first sniff with Tauer's 'Une Rose Vermeille' I can cruedly sum this up; Johnsons Baby Oil mixed with geranium and a hint of citronella. But this brash description misleads, making it seem cheap and synthetic, when in fact, this is premium Tauer quality. Notice that I've used 'geranium' to describe the fragrance rather than rose as it reminds me of Frederic Malle's 'Geranium Pour Monsieur' (obviously without the mint) but with a baby powder vibe to it. It's almost like a mint-free 'Geranium Pour Monsieur' layed with an aldehyde-free Amouage 'Dia' woman - now that's a quality perfume comparison. The oily note reminds me a little of the rose based attar 'Marwah' by Al Haramain but much sweeter and warmer due to the slight vanilla. It's delicious and makes my mouth water.

Ok really wanted to love this! I'm all ready to find the gormand rose. On me this started off so very citrus & herbal - very sour, sparkling & bright! The rose was certainly in there too. Although its very juicy at the same time, I just can't get past the citrus herbal blast, it stays there for a while, the lavender, lemon & bergamot combo....im really not a fan of lavender. Although this so different to anything else I've tried, I like it, not sure if I'll wear it. Update: remembering this scent as so juicy, so my sample was sitting there untouched, tried it again, and I tell you it's addictive, it's juiciness is unforgettable. Maybe I will get a FB after all!

A bright, effervescent rose. I wouldn't call this a mature rose, there's a youthful sweetness to it that I find to be sexy although really quite clean, almost aldehydic. I attribute this mainly to the raspberry. As it dries down, the raspberry remains, accompanied by a smooth vanillic tonka. Une Rose Vermeille is yet another great rose fragrance by Tauer, who seems to always have an interesting take on the popular floral note up his sleeve.

An interesting, soapy fruity floral, not what I was expecting, I get more raspberry than rose, something tart (the lemon) and soapy, like fancy french milled soap (probably the lavender). Very beautiful, candied, and quite playful, I like it.
