Satin Rose de Mai

This was a really lovely scent, shame they discontinued it. So light, fresh and classy in comparison to the VS perfumes in production now. I reached for it every day when I had it. And the packaging was adorable!

I love this fragrance. It is so clean and refreshing, but still pretty and feminine. Has anyone found something similar now that it has been discontinued? I am currently still searching...

Victoria's Secret SATIN Rose de mai is a heavily rose-laden linear that delivers roses from beginning to end, but with a touch of honeysuckle that becomes a bit stronger after a few minutes. The quality here compares with Guerlain's AA ROSA MAGNIFICA, and the idea is the same: to showcase the rose. To don roses or not to don roses, that is the only question. Although roses contribute beautifully to many symphonic compositions, I am leaning toward the belief that as soloists they are better showcased in sachet-scented lingerie drawers than on my skin.

I have a little 0.25 fl oz pray vial of this with a satin pink ribbon coming off of it. I actually remember getting this in a swap back when I used to engage in swaps- this is such a nice scent. I like to use it in the morning, or when I need a really fresh pick-me-up which is usually mid-afternoon. Florals really work to elevate one's mood and keep the energy up. This blends juicy grapefruit with a dewy, fresh rose. It is so fresh! It almost reminds me a little bit of Clinique Happy in Bloom flankers they always make in the Spring. Great scent!

I got the body spray of this for under $10. I think I spent $10 too much. I was hoping for a more rose scent but this is rather sweet fruity rose. I would classify this as a fruity floral because I really can smell the grapefruit in it very strong. The honeysuckle in it turns it too sweet for my taste. It is a linear fragrance and smells more of a mature sweet fruity floral. Again it isn't for me. Too sweet. It is a very lasting powerful fragrance.
