My favourite things
Do you remember the famous song grom the musical "The sound of music" called "My favourite things"? The opening lyrics said: "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"(and so on...)

Well, me too , I imagined all the things I like and a fairy world the first time I smelled this scent at one of the oldest and most famous spice shops of my town.
i was attracted first by the "old style" bottle and the light pink scent which seemed stolen from a "petineuse" of the early '900.
The name too was inviting and made me think of a winter garden, a frozen delight or a pink and sweet sugar candy . So, I sprayed immediately on my skin the scent and suddenly a delicious red fruits accord arrived to my nose, made more feminine and gentle by the rose flowery touch.
Then, I perceived the irresistible and a little girly sugar note added to a very pleasant and more intense rose absolute, giving that "pink" character to this particular fragrance. Finally, i smelled a warm base made of musk and sandalwood, measured and light, not too heavy , to keep the very light and feminine soul of this scent.
I thought of the magic period of Christmas time, to a rose garden in winter and to all the sugary goodies such as candy canes , cotton candy and so on.
This scent could seem a "gourmandise" only for girls, but it isn't so, because the rose touch balances the bouquet making it more "mature" and elegant.
It could be the perfect scent for Christmas time: the sillage isn't too strong and you can wear it also in crowded rooms for a pleasant and not too intrusive result.
Unfortunately, this scent I loved isn't anymore on sale and I cannot find it. When i tested it I haven't bought it for its quite high price and now...only the memory remains of this scented fairytale !

Caramelized Sugar on Rose Syrup
Basically, that's all there is to say.

Just because I am the Rose Girl, I don’t necessarily have to have or like all rose fragrances. I definitely do not like this one.

Rose Confite develops a scent of burnt sugar on my skin. Anyone who has ever caramelized sugar in a pot knows what that smells like. Slightly burnt and very sweet.
Admittedly, a tiny bit of rose syrup was also added, but that's all there is. Sticky sweet, burnt sugar rose scent.

Interestingly, the fragrance in the bottle is really rosy. Very sweet, yes, but rosy. If it stayed that way on the skin, it would be bearable.
I’m very sorry, dear L'Occitane perfumers, this experiment unfortunately did not succeed! Maybe that's why I no longer found it in your product range?

quite a sweet rose
Candied Rose is, as the name suggests, quite sweet. So it's a sweet rose fragrance with fruity nuances. It also becomes a bit powdery. It is extremely feminine. But as a rose lover, I must admit that even for me, it is far too floral and far too sweet. The scent is quite alright, but not to my taste. I prefer more delicate and lighter rose fragrances that lean more towards a soapy and clean direction rather than this little sugar rose powerhouse.

It seems stepped out of a fairytale: sweet, feminine, sugary and light.The perfect scent for Christmas time, although it's quite evanescent.

Fruity and oh so sugary sweet,
The little rose blooms in the sun.
Creamy and softly woody,
youthful in its own way.

A rather fresh-light rose scent, fruity and sweet. It's quite pleasant, but the brand can do better.

Fruity sweet monotony, not really my thing.
