1001 Roses Reviews

This perfume is like a unicorn - virtually impossible to find. You can't even get it on Lancome's website. So when I happened to come across it DJs online, I was SO excited! I tried to resist because I already have so many perfumes, but then it started weighing on my mind that it was now or never. I wouldn't get many second chances to snap up this rare beauty. So I ordered it, snapping up the last one! Oh my, am I so glad I did!

Rose can be a tricky note because beautiful as it is, it makes me think of little old ladies who garden. And unless you are a little old lady who gardens, rose needs to be very carefully considered to make it age appropriate, which is really important as fragrance and personal expression are so intertwined. So if you're someone who doesn't feel rose is you, this could very well be the scent that changes that.

The rose I get from this is a bit of an incense-rose, not dissimilar to the much loved FM masterpiece Portrait of a Lady. There is most definitely rose there, but it is so much more complex and elaborate than that. I've seen people focus on this as a citrusy rose scent, but for me it is musk and incense rose perfectly mellowed by a very classy, sophisticated vanilla. Not sickly sweet and not overly floral, just sophisticated ladylike perfection all the way!

I would have been heartbroken to have missed the opportunity to experience this scent and that was before I even smelled it. But now that I have it, trust me... If you are lucky enough to find it, don't think - just get it. Who knows if or when you will get a second chance!

This perfume was recommended to me by the sales assistants at Myer. It is a mix of citrus, spicy and rosy with a hint of floral. This beautiful fragrance is one of my favourites as I get a lot of complements every time I wear it.

A little bit goes a long way so it is a great investment!

This perfume smells amazing and feels so good and nice on your skin. It is so nice smelling and makes every one compliment you on how you smell
