Wow, it's been a while since I've posted a fragrance review, so here we go. Sorry if it's a little bumpy
Amazing that this is the first review of the fragrance.

The present fragrance Rose Berberanza comes from the exclusive Maison line Lancômes and is available in 100 ml at 220 Euro RRP. The bottle is made of glass and has a rose-golden metal plate on the back with a rose pattern punched out of it so that we can see it through the reddish liquid. The lid is magnetic and golden. The outer packaging is matt white and a structured label on the front picks up the rose gold metal plate. All in all, the packaging appears high-quality and quite noble, but not nearly as noble as the price contenders from Guerlain.

Now for the fragrance itself. He starts with a punch. We're hearing a fairly generic rose jam-vanilla-berry syrup conglomerate. Smells like it all the time-- Mancera Rose Vanilla, Tresor Nuit à la Folie and assorted. Hyperfeminine, very sweet, but also easy to forget. At the same time, pistachio strikes us with concentrated power in juxtaposition. In this constellation she appears very harsh, out of place, almost stinky - something that is often and gladly noted by users on various platforms. Nevertheless, the aforementioned stinky note manages to get the scent out of the beautifully sweet and forgotten corner and provides a welcome edge.

As the fragrance progresses, rose and pistachio withdraw noticeably and the scent becomes more harmonious; the notes stand side by side, no longer against each other. The pistachio no longer pushes itself into the foreground, but rather catches the sweet notes behind and forms a successful, stylish grounding. In my opinion it has a similar effect to a musk or wood base - depth and dimension.

The fragrance is, as usual for the Maison line, very long-lasting, but has a much greater projection than the other semi-floral of the range.

Besides Montale's Intense Café, in my opinion the best fragrance in this theme.
