Elie Saab Le Parfum Rose Couture

This perfume is fit for royalty. I picture a graceful woman in an elegant pink dress, sipping tea amidst blooming flowers outside a grand palace. The opening notes are a blend of fresh roses and caramel, with patchouli, litchi, and sweet vanilla forming a smooth dry-down. Rose Couture exudes cleanliness, sophistication, and timeless elegance with its subtle fruity base. It’s supremely feminine and easy to connect with. The bottle and its pink-themed packaging are equally charming, creating an inviting presence. I received this as a beautifully packaged gift and had to test it thoroughly. Even as someone who enjoys gourmet perfumes, I’d be delighted to receive this. It’s fresh, ladylike, and irresistibly lovely. This is definitely a blind worth trying.

I tried a sample of this perfume, and honestly, I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but this one turned me off immediately. I was expecting a beautiful rose scent, but what I got was overwhelming and sickly sweet—candied, caramel, and floral all mixed together in a way that made me feel unwell. It feels like they were aiming for something sophisticated, like a gourmand fragrance, but it just didn’t work out. The combination of rose with so much sweetness is overpowering, and honestly, it’s just not good.

It was such a joy to buy this perfume! The box is absolutely stunning, especially since it uses real ribbon instead of fake designs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bottle I grabbed was a full-size perfume and a small spray bottle as well. The design of the bottle is simple yet elegant. The fragrance matches the bottle’s beauty—it's clean, fresh, and floral. While I’ve encountered a lot of rose-floral perfumes before, this one offers a unique twist when blended with starch and patchouli. Jasmine really shines through in this mix, but the base notes of rose and vanilla patchouli are incredibly well-balanced. For an EDT, its longevity on both skin and clothes is impressive. The scent reminds me a bit of Cartier’s fragrances and Sarah Jessica’s lines, yet it still stands out on its own. I’m so glad I decided to buy this! It’s definitely worth it and deserves a solid 9/10 rating!

If you've ever experienced synesthesia, you'll understand this perfume's unique appeal. Imagine walking through a forest glade on a warm autumn afternoon—strawberry jam fills the air, its sugary sweetness reminiscent of Grandma’s homemade jam. The rose here is jammy and sweet, not red or pink, but exactly the color of that cherished spread. Patchouli adds an earthy depth, while sandalwood brings warmth. Litchi and bergamot contribute a sharpness that blends seamlessly with the creamy sweetness of caramel. It’s absolutely delicious!

Interestingly, there are bar soaps present in a nursing home.
