This has been described as a 'jammy rose' scent and I find that is accurate.
Whereas scents like Chloe Roses smell like real, freshly cut roses. Bvlgari Rose Essentielle is more of a perfume like quality.
It is a good scent and definitely more wearable than something like Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose (which gives me a headache and smells unpleasant after a while).
It's just not a natural rose scent.
My review is for the EDP. The longevity of this is medium (a few hours) though I don't find the silliage to be that great.
I can smell this scent on others who wear it so maybe it just seems that way
It doesn’t have a “pure” rose scent that you normally smell on real roses. More like a Bvlgari version of rose, as it has the trademark “Bvlgari scent” that’s easily recognisable in their other fragrances. The scent is light and doesn’t last the whole day.
I’m not in love with it nor am I loving it. In my opinion it’s not really a stand out product from their collections.
