Rose Chérie
by Guerlain
Rose Chérie by Guerlain is a softly romantic, powdery rose scent with a delicate violet and cherry-almond nuance. It opens with a light, velvety sweetness—reminiscent of candied rose and raspberry—giving way to a drydown of creamy, dusty rose, heliotrope, and tonka bean that lingers softly. The fragrance is airy and intimate, with moderate projection and a moderate longevity that fades into a sweet, powdery trail just above the skin. It evokes an elegant, vintage vanity table: sugary, feminine, and quietly seductive. The scent is not overly sweet, with a gourmand undertone that feels more macaron-like than syrupy, and carries a faint almondy warmth in the base. It suits warm spring to early autumn days, especially for date nights or intimate settings. While some find it too powdery or overly sweet, there is broad appreciation for its refined construction, smooth texture, and its subtle nod to the beloved French Kiss.
