  I like rose fragrances a lot but this particular one I don’t like at all, I don’t know what it is but I feel very heavy despite smelling quite distinctively of rose, I don’t like it at all.

  Ahhh! What a beautiful fragrance (: If you’re looking for a fresh rose, this isn’t it. This perfume is warm, intoxicating, and sweet, sweet, sweet. The tonka bean gives it that delicious gourmand touch. I understand why many dislike it for not being what they expected; the rose in this perfume isn’t light or fresh, it’s sugary and combines perfectly with the cinnamon. I’ve read they compare it to ‘rose jam’ or rose jam, but I’ve never tried it; sometimes it smells of fruit wine or rosé wine to me, delicious. The cedar at the end prevents the perfume from ending up cloying, unfortunately I don’t feel the patchouli… but it’s not necessary, it’s perfect as is <3 What a pity they've discontinued it.

  Cnidaria… did you read my mind? Because you described it perfectly, just as I would have. What a lovely review 🙂 I agree that this isn’t the fragrance many would expect: it doesn’t smell like a soft, tender little rose. It’s sweet, and the cinnamon is clearly perceptible. At least I perceive it a lot. Just like Cnidaria, in me it smells like rosé wine, it seems like a perfume made of that. Which makes it unique. As I received this perfume when I was 14, I found it very strong and preferred its little brothers that were also gifted to me: Tendre Jasmin and Iris Noir. But now that I’m 17, my opinion on this perfume has done a 360° turn and has become my favourite of the 3 Yves Rocher perfumes I have. And of course, one of my all-time favourites. I identify with this fragrance a lot. Even, they already gifted me the shower gel, which is a must for me every time I have an important event. I put it on, then apply the perfume, and it lasts on me all day. A fragrance exquisite by Yves Rocher. Is it true they’ve discontinued it? What a pity 🙁 I’ll just have to take care of my 5ml presentation of this perfume and my shower gel like gold. What a shame.

  The best rose I’ve ever had! It’s a warm, romantic, and charming perfume. The only downside is that it causes sneezes in some people, but otherwise, it’s a perfect scent to charm… it’s a pity that Yves Rocher no longer sells it.

  A rose jam. The perfect example of a gourmand, adult perfume without being cloying. Rose Absolue from the Secrets d’Essences line by Yves Rocher was a rose chypre with a jelly or jam texture. It smelled just like an orange or raspberry jam, same texture and palate, something sweet and fresh at the same time. The trick is that it didn’t smell of orange or strawberry, but of rose. Imagine an expensive jam, with chunks of natural raspberry mixed with sugary fruit paste, a dough that melts in the mouth, cool, a treat for the palate in the form of edible rose… I’m not a fan of gourmand scents, I hate the overly sweet and bakery-like; there’s no clearer idea of hell than a confectionery workshop bursting with sweets and meringues. And yet, this was a well-made perfume, with its charm, because from that rose soaked in jams and syrups also rose hints of oriental and exotic notes thanks to tonka and cinnamon, mature and adult chords perfectly blended with the rose, which, when exploding with patchouli, took on a classic chypre tone at the base, fatal, only spiced with gourmand memories. The perfect perfume for those women who adore rose chypres and also feel tempted by treats, but who would never put on a fruity chypre. This Yves Rocher (an undervaloured house par excellence) was measured to the inch to be a sweet treat made into perfume, but an adult, mature, sexy treat, with memories of sweet liquor, jam, and even a touch of governess, as is not uncommon with this family. At the time, I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have worn it in my life, but this Yves Rocher line was fabulous, and this, without being one of the best, was no exception.

  A rose jam, the perfect example of how to create a gourmand yet adult fragrance without falling into the sugar trap. Rose Absolue from the long-loved Secrets d’Essences line by Yves Rocher was a rose chypre with a jelly or jam-like texture. It smelled exactly like orange or raspberry jam—the same texture, the same mouthfeel, that same taste of something sweet and fresh at once. The brilliance is that it didn’t smell of orange or strawberry, but of rose. Imagining it without testing it first is easy: picture an expensive jam, with bursts of natural raspberry mixed into sugary fruit paste, a mass that melts on your tongue, cool, a palate indulgence in the form of edible rose… I’m not a fan of gourmand scents; I hate anything overly sweet or pastry-like; nothing paints a more accurate picture of hell for me than a confectionery workshop or a kiosk bursting with sweets, milkshakes, and meringues. And yet, this was a well-made fragrance, with its own charm, because from that rose soaked in jams and syrups also rose up oriental and exotic nuances thanks to tonka and cinnamon, mature and adult chords perfectly blended with the rose, which, upon blooming with patchouli, took on a classic chypre base tone, a fatal chypre, only seasoned with sweet memories. The perfect perfume for those women who adore rose chypres and are also tempted by treats, but who would never in their life wear a froutchouli. This Yves Rocher (a truly underrated house) was measured down to the last detail to be a treat made into perfume, but an adult, mature, sexy treat, with memories of sweet liqueur, jam, and even a hint of dominatrix, as is not uncommon with this family. At the time, I didn’t like it; I wouldn’t have worn it in my life, but this Yves Rocher line was fabulous, and this, though not one of the best, was no exception.

  As it’s discontinued, I keep it like gold and reserve it for special occasions. To me, it’s not that sweet; it smells of rose with a hint of cinnamon on top. I don’t detect the patchouli, and frankly, it’s not needed.
