A Fleeting Rumour

I LOVE the original Rumeur and a nice rose scent is always welcome. In my mind "Rumeur 2 Rose" would smell reminiscent of the original Rumeur with a nicely blended rose note. The thought alone was soo tempting that I just wanted to tell the sales lady to ring it up. But, to be on the safe side I decided to test it and I am glad that I did!

Boy oh boy was I disappointed! On me "Rumeur 2 Rose" is a diluted version of the Original Rumeur with a watery rose surrounded by weak citrics somewhere on the note scale. A shadow of the original and a drowning rose in the middle. Fleeting, unimpressive and so very different from the beauty of the original. If it were only stronger and better mixed I would have been so happy! It was on sale and a 100ML bottle to boot! However, this one is not for me, alas. I guess you can't win them all. For all of you who get a lush rose on-top of the original divine magnolia base. Lucky you! Enjoy! : )

Rose scented shampoo

Rumeur 2 Rose is an interesting fragrance in the sense that it's not entirely rose, but a rich blend of fruits and flowers.

I think I initially expected something quite sweet, rosy and fruity, but Rumeur 2 Rose is not so predictable. The opening is actually quite bitter and sharp, what seems to be lemon, bitter orange and pink rose counteracting with one another.

It does settle after awhile, however the fruitiness remains. I can detect an array of floral notes at times, but during most of its development, Rumeur 2 Rose is all about luscious roses and zesty citrus.

I'm not a huge fan of this fragrance because I think it smells very much like an expensive shampoo or shower gel. I do actually own this fragrance in the shower gel because I found it cheap and I knew I would enjoy using it along with other rose-scented bath products. As a perfume though, I'm not convinced.

I don't find this fragrance particularly refreshing, yet I do enjoy its unique take on a common rose note. It reminds me of Spring and I think it can also be worn by anyone of any age. The drydown is quite musky with subtle hints of earthy patchouli, which is thankfully not overpowering in the base.

The lasting power is not bad, lasting well over six hours. I think Rumeur 2 Rose is a fruity rose scent with a lot of character.

Röslein Irgendwo

A classic case of starting strong and then fading away even stronger... although the positive aspects are clearly in the majority here. The bottle, however, does not belong to that category; I find the newer Lanvins significantly prettier. But let's start from the beginning...

Sometimes I don't even know how & why I come across samples of fragrances... Rumeur 2 Rose, never really successful or well-known and long discontinued by Lanvin, is such a case. I still enjoy testing these olfactory outsiders, even if only 1-3 users per decade might stumble upon this and it’s hard to conjure up a long or creative comment from such a simple scent.

This rumor of a rose starts off really beautifully - zesty, green, naive, summery, simply happy with lemon and pleasant green accents. And at the beginning, the titular rose plays a significant role and stands out - this is where the fragrance earns most of its good rating. I can really imagine a sexy natural beauty on a hot summer day craving roses & refreshment at the same time and then applying this scent perfectly suited for the occasion. Unfortunately, this brief moment of brilliance is short-lived; the rose quickly fades almost entirely, and the fragrance becomes more than unspectacular with musk & a few unrecognizable flowers (lily of the valley being the closest). It's a shame; with a longer duration & staying power of the rose, there could have been more to it.

Bottle: as mentioned: good ideas that were not quite fully developed back then. The lettering especially looks a bit cheap.
Sillage: no matter how hot the days get in summer, this one is manageable.
Longevity: even at regulated temperatures, never more than 4 hours.

Conclusion: a pleasantly light, refreshing, green rose scent for spring & summer... one that you certainly won't miss!

Pleasantly Subtle

I received this fragrance in Kankuro's scent package.
I like some of the Lanvins and I also find one or the other rose scent beautiful.
This fragrance is not as rosy as one might think from the name. It has a light fresh and citrusy scent. I detect a subtle hint of pear. After a while, it becomes softly floral and the rose doesn't really bloom. It stays delicately in the background. With other rose fragrances, I perceive it more strongly.
Rumeur 2 Rose is, for me, a pleasant, sweet, and delicate scent. It's not exactly a showstopper, but I can wear it well in everyday life. My friend and my husband find it suitable for me.

a fleeting happiness

I like this scent, it fits perfectly with summer and has been in my collection for at least 3 years. The citrus-floral notes remind me of Tuscany in May or June, so it is undoubtedly a mood booster! One downside is the longevity: right after application, it is at its best, but within 2 hours, there is nothing recognizable on my skin... Nice and fresh, but too fleeting, voila!
