Beautiful! As in BEAU-TI-FUL!!!
This is a very clean and light rose. How they do it? No idea!
Can I detect all the individual types of rose? Honestly, no I can’t. But it doesn’t matter. This perfume is powerful and airy at the same time (it is!) and I’ve never smelled anything like it. Tempted to call it a masterpiece, if only it lasted a little bit longer (sadly the longevity on me seems to be at the lower end of the scale).
Apologies for repeating myself, but I have to add something I have already written for another perfume from LPdR: I cannot believe that I’ve been avoiding this house for years for the stupidest of all reasons (their bottle design isn’t my cup of tea) – Shame on me.

(A review originally posted on MakeupAlley in 2005, I wanted to re-post it here now because I do not use MakeupAlley anymore [but have many fond memories of using it] and I am trying to get back into writing reviews, using old ‘work’ as inspiration…): My favorite rose ever, period. Evanescent, ethereal, just perfect. A true beauty that deserves to be sampled. A tip because the staying power is somehow medium at times (but give it a try to see how it reacts to you, please): under armpits (!) with non scented deo or so and then on the armpits and inner sleeves of your blouse or shirt. Gives you and others pleasure. Just please seek it out and see what you think for yourself. A true beauty, queen of perfumes. Top notes: Violet, marigold, ylang-ylang, rose. Heart notes: rose, jasmine, iris. Base notes: tonka bean, benzoin resin, Peruvian balsam (musk). [4 exquisite sorts roses: from Bulgaria, Damascus, Turkey, and Greece…all French-ly concentrated and genius scientist mixed!]
Mmmmmmmm.

Very beautiful rose fragrance! Very “old fashioned” type of perfume which I enjoy as opposed to a light fruity perfume for a 20 year old.
The violet is very present at the opening and then the rose and the iris come into play. Georgeous! Dry down is a nice powdery flower bouquet with the dark rose being the centerpiece. My favorite part!
It reminds me of Brosseau Ombre Rose for its powdery feel. Overall very lovely, not too heavy and very feminine.
Sillage: Moderate
Longevity: A good 6 hours
Lionel461 – :
On my skin, iris is the first one to show up, immediately followed by an explosion of roses lined with ylangylang. Right away, it brings to mind the image of a person lathering rose-scented soap and swishing the bubbles around. It’s jammy and rosy and a little sweet and oh-so-feminine.
Something woody and faintly resinous shows up as it slowly becomes powdery. Almost as if there is rose sap being tapped from a tree the way rubber tappers tap rubber. The drydown is somewhat similar to several other chypre roses, with the key difference (for me) being that this rose retains its sweetness.
I really enjoyed this. La Rose de Rosine is a seemingly old-fashioned red rose, and a fairly realistic one at that, with some sugar thrown in for good measure. The bed of other flowers on which it rests brings out the rose even better, IMHO, whilst the woodiness adds dimension to it. It is at once comforting and gracefully sensual (if that’s possible), kind of like a cashmere sweater on a woman who knows how to work it.
Longevity and sillage were decent: about 4-5 hours, with the last 3 hours sitting rather close to the skin.

Violet and iris are both very much in the game, equals the roses, on my skin at least. Musk is not listed in the notes, but I think there must be musk…? Or is it the combination of tonka/peru balsam/benzoine that give that effect?
Very nice, this!

Charming powdery rose with a vintage, old school touch, it reminds me of “Ombre Rose”, but without that much of the soapy aldehydes (which some might find dated), and warmer in feel.
Elegant and safe, sweet, but not over the top, with a very light green undertone (violet leaves, perhaps?) Jasmine definitely plays a role in the composition and enhances it in a slightly animalic way.
Overall a great rose perfume, but it lacks some twist for me, it’s too classic.
Vitalym – :
Powdery sweet Violets & Roses! A powdery and soapy perfume, a classic beautiful Rose perfume. This would have found its way on a boudoir dresser of a “Lady” I’m sure of it. Its sweetly romantic, I cant help but imagine Victorian times, Edwardian times and the high class of the 20s and 30s, elegant ladies swanning around wearing this effortlessly. There is something so familiar about this, like something a great Aunt would have worn. A must try.

I love it!

*New take*: The perfume in my bottle of LA ROSE DE ROSINE opens very sweetly, so I do affirm the presence of violet right off. In fact, looking at the notes in the hierarchy, I can only conclude that there was a decanting or labeling error involved in the production of my carded sample. Based on this fresh bottle, I’d say that LA ROSE DE ROSINE is a fresh, sweet rose fragrance with a youthful appeal. NOT A CHYPRE at all. I do not detect either aldehydes or oakmoss in this composition. If I were to compare this to another floral perfume it would be closer to BVLGARI POUR FEMME.
I still like LA ROSE DE ROSINE quite a lot, but I just lucked out, since my purchase was made on the basis of the previous review!
Goshaa – :
An earthy, deep rose fragrance. From the opening notes of damp earth and red rose, through to what, on my skin, is a wonderful spicy dryness, to a final dry-down of warm, spicy with a light floral and violet note, it is a well crafted rose fragrance with a light sweetness. (3.5)

I like la Rose de Rosine in combination with Lancome’s Tresor. I use la Rose de Rosine to layer.
kanat96 – :
LA ROSE DE ROSINE strikes me as a classic floral aldehyde of the “old lady” kind—which by the way is a term of endearment, not derogation, in my perfume book. Rose is unsurprisingly the centerpiece of this beautiful composition, created by a house built amazingly upon some person’s rose note OCD. And that’s a beautiful thing, too, by the way.
The house of Rosine offers a wide variety of finely calibrated yet distinctive rose perfumes, basically covering the entire olfactory map while also focusing on rose. LA ROSE DE ROSINE is closest, according to my nose, to something along the lines of Jean-Charles Brosseau L’OMBRE ROSE, with its vintage vibe. There may even be a touch of good old evernia prunastri here. Anyway, I like this one a lot, and can heartily recommend it to rose-loving aficionados of old-fashioned floral aldehydes on the chypre side.
overtip – :
Not my favorite, by far. I have decided that I really do not enjoy oriental fragrances. I prefer Rosines more floral/fruity/aquatic fragrances. Am working my way thru the entire line of samples. So far, I like them all, except the orientals. Fun!

I have so far neglected Rosine’s perfume, only to discover that they are actually really, really worth trying out. And although they do seem to share a cunning resemblance (rose in so many versions), all in all, they differ considerably.
La Rose de Rosine starts off rather sweet, like a doughnut filling (I am not sure whether in different countries you get a similar type of doughnuts that I am talking about :)). But the foody undertones disappear very quickly, as the fragrance develops in a more mature way. With delicate jasmine and orris, this is a fresh, combination. Not powdery, not gourmand, not green just-cut-from-the-garden type perhaps, but quite green nevertheless. I can imagine flower petals sprinkled with cold water and sugar. For me, it smells very innocent and pure, and I see it as a perfect scent for warmer months.
Slim84 – :
La Rose de Rosine starts with really potent raisin jam scent with sweet rose hint. It’s somewhat just my type of desert in a cold day but it’s not what I would love to wear on my skin and constantly smell of. Somehow it’s really similar to the smell of Tim Tam (famous Australian chocolate biscuits)Dark Chocolate collection, the purple one with raisin.
It’s a rather linear scent, with the rose gradually amplified and the sticky raisin jam scent gradually backs to the background. The rose scent is velvet, dark, and somewhat old-fashioned with a Victorian charm, it doesn’t make me think of my grandma (unlike some rosewater-ish perfume might have the instantly-teleport-you-to-your-grandma’s-cosmetic-drawer effect). As time pass by, it gets more soft and powdery in a rosy way. It’s much less demanding and much nicer (even with a little bit soft milky touch).
However, I’m not sure is it my skin, the scent somehow totally disappeared after about 5 hours; foody, gourmand and somewhat homely and lovely as it is, there’s something in this rose scent which makes me feel it’s not balanced and I just don’t see my relationship with La Rose de Rosine last.
But on the other hand, it’s a lovely sweet perfume just like chocolate to me, when I go without it for a while, I would literally craving for a sniff of it.
Worth trying if you like sweet perfume with some nice personality and a welcoming manner.

My mother wears this often and it’s so lovely on her. It smells ofcourse very ‘rosey’, very chic and somewhat soapy. I love the bottle too.
fortran – :
Sweetish rose, with interesting accents and a fresh high top note. Very good representation of how some real roses smell, but not quite different enough for me to want to own it. Classic floral fragrance however. 7/10 on my score card.
Laver2008 – :
Very, very strong and powerful rose. It’s a little bit cold on my skin, I suspect because of violet which I do love, but it sometimes turns metalic on me. The rose here is refreshing, almost crisp and very feminine. Not my favourite rose scent, because of the metalic feeling, but I can easily suggest to at least try this to those who love rose in their perfumes.
Chooty – :
Soapy, sweet candy roses. I know that sounds bad, but it’s really a gorgeous fragrance. Clean, clear tart rose with a sweetness that isn’t cloying. I’m loving this one.
Federal – :
This perfume is a gem! The beautiful rose and violet accord reminds me of Paris (pre-reformulation, that is), but there’s also jasmine, iris, vanilla and musk to create a complex jewel of a scent. Paris recently lost its fulness and to me it became a ghost of itself, but thankfully there’s this beautiful Rose de Rosine to take its place as a true Queen among roses! I have just purchased a bottle after wearing a sample for three days, and it will become my signature scent.
Ghost-Warrior – :
This is a very true rose, a Damask rose from paradise-not heavy like a Bulgarian Rose, nor does it have the strange tomato leaf-like scratchiness of tea roses-not soapy, or powdery-very fresh and very true. Despite the presence of jasmine, violet, iris, this smells like nothing but roses to me.It is indeed as light and pretty as Dia Woman by Amouage, but much rosier, of course. The dry-down is a clean warm rosy musky whisper, with a bit of tonka.
I love it, but the best rose-centered rose scent I’ve ever tried is still Roses Musk by Montale.
malishtim – :
This is up there in my ‘favorite rose’ category. I’ve worn this three times now to make sure I wouldn’t change my mind. This is such a beautiful, tender scent that is not over done and of high quality. For reference, it reminds me of Amouge’s Dia Woman (the lightness aspect), but much more pleasant. this is one I”ve pegged to buy, it’s very lovely.
