Miss Rocaille
The bottle does not match the fragrance inside. The bottle is pink and dainty with embossed roses in the glass giving it a very feminine look. One would expect the perfume to smell like roses or be heavily floral and very womanly. The scent is not typically floral at all. There are some floral notes there but they are light. When you first spray this on your skin, what you get is a very bitter "green" smell. It's almost off putting but it settles down rather quickly and turns into something much softer and friendlier. The "greenness" lasts throughout the duration and like I mentioned previously, there are also some light floral elements as well. The beauty of this scent is the lovely sea water note. It's prominent to my nose in the dry down and that's what I'm mostly getting as the fragrance becomes faint. The lasting power on my skin isn't too great. I find it does fade out pretty fast. I also find that this is a perfume that sits very close to the skin so don't expect too many others around you to notice it. I don't love it but I do like it. Totally unique and different from most of the fragrances I usually wear. Definitely worth a try!
