Reviews of Eau des 4 Reines
by L'Occitane

lovely! a very pretty feminine true rose scent without any other flowers. sillage is minimal as is the lasting power. a bit pricey for the quality but it is pretty.

A very pretty and light rose scent that is like a true, delicate rose. Minimal staying power however. Reminds me of a more one-dimensional version of the new Chloe scent.

I bought a small bottle of this in Florida last June when it was swelteringly hot. I found it delightfully cooling and refreshing but, as Tovah noted, extremely short lived. It's especially nice after a shower before bed in the evening. It's cooling, soothing and one of the nicest simple rose fragrances I've found. A bit tart, a bit sweet, and fairly natural smelling. I love the story behind the name (told on the side of the box): The four daughters of the Count of Fourcalquier - Marguerite, Eléonore, Sancie, and Beatrix - each had a favorite rose - the Grasse rose, the Bulgarian rose, the Moroccan rose, and the Turkish rose, and each of them became a queen. The fragrance is supposed to be a blend of those four roses. Romantic! :-)

"Eau des 4 Reines" sounds so regal and formal that I expected this to be a sort of new Nahema. Not so! This is a bright, fresh rose with fruity undertones. This is unmistakably a rose perfume, but the tea, mandarin, and blackberry in the blend provide a take on rose that I've seen before only in the great Rosines. I honestly prefer Eau des 4 Reines to Roseberry!

I have the edt and the lasting power is shameful. I can smell it for all of a minute, and then it completely disappears. I look forward to trying this in edp, because it's such a beautiful fragrance. If the edp doesn't last, I'll surely buy the bath products so that I can layer for better lasting power...

Even though this scent is fresh and lively, I like to wear it at night, and to spray my bedsheets with it. It's a lazy romantic kind of fragrance that smells warm and sweet.

I must agree with truedeluxe, this scent is wonderful. If you're looking for a rose scent that's not too "old" smelling, Eau des 4 Reines is a good one. It has a sharp, sophisticaed rose smell.

A clean, fresh rose bouquet, springy and cool, like walking into a florists' refrigerator filled with roses and ripening, tart fruit. Light and modern, not your grandmother's rose sachet smell!
