  |  I wore this back in the 90's and liked it when it dried down because it was a soft powder. At first, it is strong and quite floral, but it dried down nicely. It's a pretty and feminine scent. 20 April 2008 |
 |  Calchic has put it beautifully, above.I agree that Ombre Rose has much which is characteristic with Gueurlain's style and It could be mistaken for one of theirs. This is a magical scent and now and again I can get a sort of Mitsouko touch with the opening peach with the aldehydes. She may be like some others which many of us love, but for me she still stands alone and distinct, not very much spoken of sadly, as she deserves plenty of acclaim. The bottle is perfect for the wonder fragrance contained within. 25 December 2007 |
 | Beautiful stuff. I'm a guy, and I'd wear it (if only I could get my sister away from her bottle long enough...)! It may suprise you to learn that I am straight too! This is great stuff, powdery, soft, romantic, just unisex enough for a thoughtful, kind and sweet young man like myself to pull it off! I know a lot of people think it smells like baby poweder, but they are wrong! It just has a baby powder element to it! I find it smooth, elegent, sophisitcated, romantic and solid, not nearly a baby powderish as some people say it is! Notes: vanilla, tonka, honey, peach, moss, sandalwood, cedar, spices and musk. MMMM'mmmm! 10 June 2007 |

|  I am a lover of rose scents, but I am starting to realize that not all rose scents actually smell like roses. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet ...." ...well, not necessarily to me. I kind of liked this when it first came out, and then every time I smelled it, it screamed "old lady." This is the most powdery scent I have ever encountered ... not only takes powdery over the fence, but running through infinity ad nauseum. Like a blast of air upon opening the door to a gift shoppe...a potpourri scent I hope I never encounter again.05 June 2007 |

| This used to be very, very pricey. When I finally got a bottle in the 80's I used it sparingly and felt that I smelled "expensive." Ombre Rose is a beautiful rose perfume that evokes powdery aldehydic classics, but its floral and fruity notes are very rich. On me, Ombre Rose is strikingly similar to Mariella Burani Mariella Burani, and it smells exactly like the original Lutèce by Houbigant. (The reformulated Lutèce is a disaster). Ombre Rose's Art-Deco bottle is absolutely beautiful. This fragrance provides an elegant sniff of nostalgia for me. 07 December 2006 |

| Light yet distinctive; powdery yet not "talc-y"; inexpensive but not cheap. Great bottle, too! A rose scent for those who don't want to smell like Tea Rose/funeral homes for DAYS. 20 October 2006 |
