Same as Rose by Marks and Spencer.

This was the turning point for me: I had never been a fan of rose scents (as you might have repeatedly read in my reviews).
Well, Rose Opulente did the miracle: it’s truly opulent but, as I said in my other review here, it’s not true “you must be a lover of roses to love Rose Opulente”.
Days after wearing this intensely I find myself to declare my surrendering to rose scents and to Rose Opulente in particular.
I suppose what made me change my mind is the quality of the ingredients, superb here as it’s always the case with MP&G.
I also imagine that the rose scents I had been trying before Rose Opulente were of a totally different league.
Or simply I have changed, my nose has changed, my taste has changed.
It happens and needs no rational explanation.
Days and days after continuously wearing Rose Opulente I smell my clothes and find them so comforting, a beautiful natural scent, a lovely sparkle in this gray winter.
I am not sure I would love this in spring too, I usually avoid floral scents in spring, but certainly the class, the charm, the beauty of Rose Opulente would not make me feel out of place.
Few perfumes in my life have made such a strong impression on me and fewer have changed my preferences so much.
BEAUTIFUL.

Rose this is a rose and Opulente it’s indeed opulent.
But not ovewhelming, not cloying.
Truly you must be a lover of roses to love Rose Opulente.
I had never liked roses as a soliflore perfume until not long ago. For me roses are an acquired taste. I suppose much has to do with the roses one has smelled.
This Rose Opulente is stunning, very beautiful rose even though not too complex. You get roses from the beginning to end, but it warms up on your skin and becomes a beautiful skin scent without disappearing.
It has a velvelty quality, a plushness, that renders the rose very elegant, not pinky or girly at all.
I am sorry I do not detect the spices that are listed in the pyramid, I am sure they will add some boost.
I do not think I will wear this in spring, I find it perfect for winter days, when the rose takes a little grayness away leaving a shining trail behind.

To me, this is a very perplexing fragrance. When I first sprayed it the First scent that hit my nose was that of blooming Russian Olive trees. I suppose that was part of the mentioned green notes, however, it was so strong and profound, I couldn’t smell anything else for the first ten to fifteen minutes, I should probably add that I don’t care for the scent of Russian Olive trees, so I was a bit put off,
At about the twenty minute point the rose finally emerged and made its way to the forefront. And a beautiful rose it is! Rich, full, velvety and lush. Exactly the type of rose I love! In the background, though, was still the underlying aroma of the Russian Olive that, for me, took away some of the luster from the rose.
I should mention that I got none of the spice notes, but the ylang ylang was definitely there. The amber is almost non-existent.
The dry down phase is by far the best part of wearing this fragrance. The Russian Olive and the greenness disappear leaving a light sweetish rose skin scent, and then it shortly fades away and then just disappears.
if you love the smell of Russian Olive trees mingled with a beautiful, heady rose you will fall for this fragrance!
sillage is moderate at first fading to a skin scent
Longevity is disappointing. lasting on me only about an hour.
I would rate this rose a 5/10

Opulent since the very beginning. An invasion of flower notes joined to those of spices to underline its royalty – just in case the overwhelming rose alone couldn’t be enough! This is a ‘quite’ fresh, reliable, happy to exist rose! That’s why – I think – it is so contagious. I detect a note of orange peel even though it’s not declared in the above pyramid unless it were a trick of my skin or of my delirating nose…
Like it or not but the good quality of the ingredients here employed is as usual -while talking of M.g.e.P. – relevant and consequently undeniable. Really lasting (my skin confirms!), great sillage but keep the quantity you spray under controll…….
Lovely opulent rose indeed!

Not a fan of roses but I like it on nice woman. Not too sharp, not too girly.
Good persistence. Fine sillage.
yoyo kun – :
Big quality rose scent, velvety and pure. Very plush, but one dimensional and a tad dull.
I used up my spray sample but it has no pizzazz so I won’t be buying more.

The opening of MPG ROSE OPULENTE is perhaps the best of any rose fragrance I have smelled in recent history. Something about the clean green notes moderates the rose while still allowing it to retain its beautiful identity. After a few minutes, I detect a certain darkness–not sure what the notes are–which tempers the rose in the opposite direction. The drydown is my least favorite part of the development, as the fruits begin to have a slight wilting effect on the petals. But still the rose manages to persevere with some integrity.
Although I am not really shopping for a new rose perfume (I already have a big bottle of Guerlain AA ROSA MAGNIFICA), I do so love to test them! I would say that ROSE OPULENTE is one of the most wearable that I have found. It is very much a rose-centered perfume, but somehow it does not seem old fashioned, grandmotherly, or better suited for a lingerie drawer. I like this particular rose fragrance a lot and might even feel comfortable wearing it beyond the perimeters of my home. (-:

A bit sharp at the opening, must be the green notes. But softened fairly quickly to a pleasant rose fragrance. It’s not overly heavy as some rose perfumes can be. I don’t think it’s super original but is worth trying by those looking for a primary note rose fragrance. Rose stays front and center throughout the whole life of the fragrance. I find the amber gris very retiring.
