Rose also for Younger People
Rose scent is actually not my thing. Usually, it stings my nose or I find it outdated.

Not so here. I actually like this rose scent quite a bit: sweet, warm, and in the end even slightly powdery. But still anything but heavy, rather somehow fresh and a bit green.

Perfect for spring.
Nevertheless, in no way light in the sense of girlish, youthful, buoyant, or playful, but clearly an adult, very feminine scent.

Also one of the first fragrances from Yves Rocher that I don't find bad.

Love at the Xth Scent
Top note: Fresh.
Heart note: Smells a bit like Armani Code pour Femme to me, meaning the orange blossoms are clearly dominant.
Base: Beautifully woody, slightly powdery, clean.

Thanks to the unsweetened base, it's a good fragrance for the warmer season; due to the flowers and freshness, it's less suitable for winter, at most on warm autumn days.
Suitable for work, leisure, and daily wear. For other occasions, it would be too weak for me.

In the base, the typical clean Chloe scent emerges, which I also particularly know from Chloe (EdT). So you should like that.
Unfortunately, the longevity leaves much to be desired for me (really abysmally poor for an EdP and a joke at this price), I can hardly smell anything after an hour. The sillage is also not very pronounced, which isn't necessarily negative.

Overall, a good fragrance that I would probably wear if I received it as a gift. However, I wouldn't buy it for myself due to the longevity and because it's not special enough for that.
What the name has to do with the scent is also a mystery to me. It doesn't fit for me.

EDIT 2024: Hard to believe, but I fell in love with this beautifully feminine-clean scent a few years ago and now, after it feels like not every second person wears it anymore, I finally have it in my collection :D

My Former Everyday Favorite Fragrance
"Style" starts off with a strong peppery note. This pepper is subtly underlined by a floral touch.
After a few minutes, more and more flowers come to the forefront, accompanied by a wonderful woody note that reminds me of sandalwood. The pepper dissipates relatively quickly.
Gradually, the typical Jil Sander vanilla, which has a somewhat artificial quality, emerges. This dominates the base for me. The musk is also clearly recognizable. The initially very cool scent gradually gains some warmth and becomes beautifully powdery, soft, and slightly creamy in the base.

Overall, the fragrance undergoes an interesting development: the top, heart, and base notes are distinctly distinguishable, yet they transition beautifully into one another. I really like all three on their own, which is why this perfume was also my signature scent.

The fragrance exudes a sense of distance, coolness, and self-assurance on one hand, while also embodying femininity and a hidden warmth of the heart. It doesn't suit girlish, playful, or sporty women, but rather those who embody a certain maturity, seriousness, and above all, self-confidence, who are tough and goal-oriented, and know what they want. Yet they still have a heart and a soft, feminine side, even if they don't show it immediately to everyone. I would say it's something for women aged 20 and up.

For this reason, it is also a great office scent for me. But it also seems suitable for a date, as it beautifully plays with these interesting, apparent contrasts of distant coolness and independence and feminine softness and warmth.

In my opinion, the fragrance is well-suited from autumn to spring; only for the warmer season would it be too vanilla-heavy and heavy for me in the base.
The longevity is excellent: applied in the morning, it is still noticeably perceptible on the skin in the evening.

So I like it very much; if it were also suitable for summer and going out and partying (but for that, it feels too "well-behaved" to me), it would get 100% from me, so it stays at 90%.

Peach...
I'll keep it short:
Melocotón is a peach scent that is well-suited for spring, but especially for summer, as it is light (almost a bit fresh), only subtly sweet, of course fruity, slightly green, and not overpowering. Unfortunately, it is quite synthetic.
Longevity and sillage are low to mediocre (but for the price it's okay; it cost around 3-4€).
40%, because it is nothing special (but I don't completely dislike it) and it reminds me a bit of toilet spray.

Beautiful Dating Scent
Wonderfully soapy-floral, yet not clean due to the warm, slightly sweet (without being really sweet) vanilla-powdery base, but very feminine and definitely sexy.

Definitely a scent for the evening. Not suitable for daily wear or even for work! At least in the original version, I am not familiar with the new one.
Since I rarely encounter suitable occasions at the moment, I hardly wear it.
When I do, I still find it beautiful even after 14 years.

Best worn in winter, but also on cool autumn days and mild summer evenings. Particularly suitable for going out, although for me it’s more for lovely evenings out and less for party nights, as it feels a bit too mature-feminine and just a tad too "today-I’m-going-to-let-loose-sexy".

The sillage, as well as the longevity, is top-notch: Applied in the morning, it still smells good the next day under the morning shower afterwards :-)
