Gourmand violets and roses
La Rose Legere opens with a gentle swirl of sweet fruits on a bed of powdery violets and roses and greenery. It's absolutely charming and feminine with a brightness that simply wakes you up. This is the most beautiful part of the fragrance. It brings to mind a sweet young girl who's just very gentle and understanding and feminine.

After that brief phase, the projection becomes less pronounced and it seems to lose a bit of its brightness. On me, rose and bergamot becomes a tad more prominent, backed by violet and something a bit bitter a musky. It's less girly than it was, but still feminine, in a grown-up way.

I enjoyed this very much. I like how it is so wearable and laid back, but somehow manages to exude class. It could have developed a little more, but it didn't, and the longevity on me was incredibly weak, lasting about 2.5-3 hours before fading entirely.

However, if you like sweet and light floral gourmands, this is definitely worth a shot.

A quiet rose fragrance
La Rose Legere is my first foray into the house of Les Parfums de Rosine. Over the years, rose has become one of my favourite notes, and I've come to realise during this time that rose has many different facets. It can be sweet, feminine, powdery, lush, tart, rich, oily, dark, sheer, fruity, gourmand, dewy, elegant or casual. And of course, many other things too.

This fragrance, (if I were to pick out any of the descriptions above), would be described as fruity, powdery, casual and sheer. La Rose Legere is not the type of rose that likes to make a bold statement. It's rather quiet and subdued, only hinting its existence every now and then.

Admittedly, I prefer my scents much stronger, but I did enjoy wearing La Rose Legere for the duration that it lasted. It's a bit fruitier than what I'm used to, yet the strawberry and black currant accords did compliment the rose nicely.

It opens quite fruity and fresh, smelling 'rosy', very pink and sparkling on the skin. The sillage is also rather commendable at this stage. Once La Rose Legere settles, a powdery musk can be detected, smoothing out the composition and transforming the scent into a whisper.

It's a pleasantly romantic Summer scent to my nose. Something that smells wonderful under hot and humid conditions, yet a little less entertaining on the average day. At times I find it a tad generic and plain, although I do like the way it has been composed.

The rose note is a strong feature in La Rose Legere, yet it doesn't own the spotlight like I personally think it should. It may be gentle and soft, but that's no excuse for its lack of lasting power. Once La Rose Legere is all but gone, I am left lusting for so much more.

It's all in the opening
The opening of La Rose Légère is quite lovely. It opens as a slightly powdery, modern take on a classic rose. If only the entire wear was like this. Unfortunately it dries down to a everyday floral on a amber-woody-musky base. Very light and very average.

La Rose Légère fails to impress. Try before you buy.
