Rumeur 2 Rose (2008)
by Lanvin

Rumeur 2 Rose is a wonderful scent for warm...even hot...weather! What a fresh scent!

This is a very citrusy floral (rose, mugeut et chevrefeille...rose, lily of the valley and honeysuckle) with a little hit of citrus at the start. The scent then mellows out to a warm amber. I can see this as a marvelous scent to wear in the summer or anytime for a pick-me-up. A happy scent.

Hmm. Got this free at work, would NEVER have picked it up. The smell is not too 'pink', though very, in fact, stridently, pastel. Starts of fake-citrusy and a touch loud, no rose in sight. It has that weird modern perfumery trying-for-clean-but-getting-slightly-musty effect, with the sparkling zing of fake citrus, for the first hour. Then it suddenly calms way down, and a soft, quite charming rose appears, all on its lonesome. By now it's very quiet. I am sure it will be all but completely gone by the three-hour-mark, as everyone on the web seems to be complaining. You could buy something a LOT worse for a young girl's first perfume. If you're over 18, pick something a lot more interesting. The box is charming and the bottle's heft quite satisfying.

Good. Fresh, playful and.. elegant. Slightly aldehydic. Rose + lemon + grapefruit. It reminds somewhat Baby Doll.
