Rose de Grasse

Rose de Grasse by Aerin Lauder presents a delicate, dewy rose soliflore that captures the essence of fresh-cut blooms with a subtle green watery edge and a soft musk base. It feels modern and refined, with a focus on authenticity—delivering an elegant, natural rose scent that is neither synthetic nor overly sweet, resembling a morning garden after rain. Many reviewers describe it as photorealistic, with velvety, lush rose notes that unfold gently and never turn cloying or fruity, making it ideal for those seeking a clean, feminine, true rose experience. The scent projects modestly, lingering close to the skin, with a quiet intensity that has been described as intimate and flattering, often eliciting compliments from others. Despite its luxurious appeal, the perfume is frequently criticized for its extremely short longevity and weak sillage, with most users reporting it fades within 1–3 hours and is barely noticeable beyond arm's length. This performance issue is especially highlighted by those who’ve worn it on skin or fabric, noting no significant enhancement even with layered body creams, though a few do report extended wear when using the matching body care products. The high price point is widely seen as unjustified given the limited performance, particularly when compared to more affordable, better-performing alternatives like Stella McCartney EDP or Nirvana White.
