Rose Glacee

by Françoise Caron

Armand Basi Rose Glacee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Françoise Caron. Rose Glacee opens with Apple, Grapefruit, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, Apricot, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Amber. Armand Basi's Rose Glacee carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. While some find it a delightful, dewy rose with a fresh, fruity kick, others are left with a bitter taste, literally, or a frankly musty, basement-like rose. Not a safe blind buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

Its fresh and clean profile, coupled with often average sillage, makes it suitable for casual wear and even office use, as many reviewers indicate. However, the varied longevity observations mean it might not last through an evening out, and the 'icy' rose isn't particularly formal.

About

Rose Glacee opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of grapefruit and lemon, mingling with crisp green apple for an initial hit of fresh juiciness. This bright intro quickly gives way to the star of the show: a cool, almost icy Taif rose, softened by the delicate sweetness of apricot and a whisper of cinnamon. As it settles, a clean musk and woody amber provide a comforting, slightly powdery finish, grounding the floral and fruity lightness.
