Etat Libre D'Orange Eau de Protection Eau de Parfum Spray 3.3 oz

EDP Rossy de Palma is a Beautiful fresh and spicy rose fragrance that unfortunately doesn’t last on my skin. Hopefully once this awful cold snap with it’s drying lack of humidity is over I’ll get better longevity. Other than that it smells divine. It’s not at all sweet, candied or snuggly. It’s an incense-y wearable Rose fragrance for those who don’t like traditional florals

This is an interesting darker rose with a strong geranium note that keeps it green. I prefer my roses spicier so I’ll keep looking. A bit disappointed I didn’t smell blood?

Green sharp pepper, ginger and bergamot open the scent. Incense and an ambery, resinous base complete the opening. A soft rose and green patchouli enter the dry down, and it becomes a spicy, aromatic rose with a green aspect and resin base. After an hour or so it warms and becomes slightly sweeter, like a sweet dark amber.Eau De Protection doesn't want to fit into a box. It's a soft rose, but it's spicy, green and aromatic, but it's resinous and dark with smoky incense. All of this is blended quite well to create a beautifully unique scent that's become one of my personal favourites from the sampler collection.

Etat Libre d’Orange’s Eau de Protection eau de parfum, released in 2009, is classified as a Floriental fragrance with notes of ginger, pepper, Bulgarian rose, incense, benzoin, and patchouli. It opens up in a metallic way; not necessarily with metallic notes, but with fresh ginger, black pepper and bergamot - there to emulate the pricking of your finger when you go to pluck a fresh rose. The Bulgarian rose is very evident after a few minutes and it stays for a long time. This is not your ordinary rose floral, as it comes with an earthy and smoky essence, an potent beauty that has been plucked from the ground instead of floating with other bright florals. The patchouli, incense, benzoin, cocoa that you find only seem to make it darker, more earthy, and richer.

The patchouli, incense, benzoin, cocoa that you find only seem to make it darker, more earthy, and richer. I absolutely love that. The performance is good - around 5+ hours on the skin, and sillage is moderate. Rose is a standard in many fragrances, but this one seems to be a little edgy, maybe beautifully intimidating? It’s like a woman is issuing a protection spell: you can get close, but not too close, as I stand independently of others - and if you get too close, prepare for the consequences. This is probably great to wear at night just because of how earthy and seductive it can be, but could be pulled off in the daytime I’m sure. If you want an edgier rose fragrance (but don’t want to spend the money on TF Rose Prick or Frederic Malle’s Portrait of a Lady), try this one out.

An awesome spicy rose

I had a hard time deciding if I just liked the scent and loved the botttle (I mean, come on, it has a DRAGON on it!), but after a month or so of wearing, I figured out that I truly love this scent. It's a lovely gingery, spicy rose. I can't wait until the weather cools down and this scent will REALLY blossom!

Perfect Vampire Rocker scent

This was a blind buy for me, but I know what notes I like and this hit all of them! This is not a fresh from the vine rose, it's more like rose potpourri - a lot deeper and darker. And then the spiciness just adds to the image of spiked leather jackets and sharp teeth <3 The geranium in here is what I think comes off as slightly metallic, sort of like fresh blood? ooohhhh It's just sooo good and unique!

Rose delight.

Lasts almost 24 hours on me. Attracts heaps of praise. Roses and spice. Perfect for all seasons. Not good for dinner for two though because its too overwhelming in a small space. My all time favourite.

Unique fragrance and it's great!

I really like this perfume. Its different for sure. I bought it online so I had no clue what to expect but the description and reviews were intriguing. I wasnt disappointed. I might buy it again but I like to change things up all the time. Definitely unique for sure!

Very pleased with this

This was a blind buy for me. For me this type of scent can go either way, with more times than not being left disappointed. This perfume doesn't come off as too old lady-ish to me. I picked up the smaller sized bottle and feel like I got good value too. If I manage to empy this bottle though I'll definately buy it again in the larger size.

fresh and spicy

This is the rare fragrance that manages to be fresh and spicy, sexy and oriental but not in your face aggressive. I really enjoy this one, it's unusual but very wearable. I'm happy I purchased. Oh, and I love the bottle! I ordered the 1.6 oz but my bottle looks just like the larger bottle pictured, instead of just the dragon it has the large black circle on the front. I think this will be awesome once the weather cools down.
