As a woman in my 40s, this fragrance is light enough to feel 'young', but subtle enough for this 'mature' woman to wear. Incredibly feminine, the rose smell of the perfume is not overwhelming, nor like your Grandma's perfume. It's more fresh and youthful. Love it!

Would use it again?
Did it do what it said it would?
Would recommend it to a friend?
The first fragrance by STELLA McCARTNEY, inspired by the fragile beauty of a rose, is contrasted by sensuality of amber.
Playing with the opposition of the masculine and the feminine as well, the bottle’s lines, both precious and sharp, frame a seemingly infinite plum dégradé.

MY ALL TIME FAV!
I've been in love with this product ever since it first came onto the market...and that was probably near to 10 years ago now. It has the right balance between strong but sweet which emphasises the masculine but feminine elements. It's one of those perfumes where I wouldn't want to share with anyone else! Its a definite must try though so I'll share that hehe.
Tips: You won't want to be spraying it all over yourself, you'll want to savour this perfume so just go for the pulse points. It is a parfum from memory so the smell will stay on your skin for the entire day.

This has been my go to perfume for years and years, it always gets a compliment and friends know I'm in a room as it's become my signature scent. This is light enough for summer snd moves effortlessly into winter to give a hint of fun and floral reminders of the last season. Has also moved up the decades with me without shouting out its to young for you!! An all rounder that is my wardrobe staple forget the scarves and accessories ! I I do struggle to purchase in NZ but then the I can't share part of me likes that fight!!
Tips: Don't overdo it, it does enough on its own.

Fresh delight
I am a big fan of rose fragrances though have found it hard to find ones that I like..
The more natural smelling ones are generally too light and do not last particularly long.
By contrast, the powerhouse scents such as Perfumer Workshop's Tea Rose are headache inducing and incredibly strong and musty.
Stella seems to strike the balance of being fairly natural and yet with decent lasting power.
It doesn't smell completely like a bouquet of fresh roses though that is not a bad thing. You can smell slight hints of the amber coming through.
In terms of the packaging, both the box and bottle are sleek and modern.
I like the gradual colour scheme and the minimalist design in terms of the bottle.
Tips: This is an ideal day time scent, especially during warmer weather when something fresh is needed

I gave wanted this fragrance for quite some time. I bought myself the 30ml bottle and have worn it constantly, and enjoying the compliments.
The bottle is shades of purple, really stunning. The scent, I just close my eyes and can smell it without even wearing it. Even though I am not a huge fan of rose scents, this is not overpowering. I feel, mixed with amber sort of calms the rose. Such a beautiful blend. I enjoy wearing this day and evening. It is a parfum so it has awesome staying power and is value for money.
Tips: Try at your perfume counter before you buy.

All time favorite!
I love this perfume. It is the perfect mix of floral, with rose and peony, with a hint of citrus (mandarin) which makes it smell uplifting to me! To be honest I am not sure that I can smell the peony much, but they are my favorite flower so knowing that it is there makes me happy!
I find that this perfume lasts for a good part of the day, although if I was going out at night I would probably use it again just to make sure :-)

Go to scent
I loved this perfume so much, my all time favourite. It would be my signature scent if it wasnt so hard to find. Almost finished my bottle and cant find it anywhere :(( Wears off after a while so have to apply it again but it is great for a night out.

I am not usually a fan of rose based fragrances and fine them heavy and heady, but I like Stella. It is a sophisticated scent with a musky almost sandalwood note that balances the rose. There is something fresh too, but I can't put my finger on what! I enjoyed this scent for summer evenings or winter during the day.
