Les Parfums de Rosine Rose d'Ete is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by François Robert. Rose d'Ete opens with Bergamot, Galbanum, and Apple, settles into a heart of Linden Tree, Rose, Mimosa, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambrette. Les Parfums de Rosine's Rose d'Ete carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive, yet compelling. Rose d'Ete sparks debate with its unique green apple and watery rose blend, smelling either like a sophisticated summer dream or a soapy disappointment.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, though it truly shines as an easy-to-wear casual scent for daytime summer activities. The fresh and clean profile means it's not ideal for formal events, and it's too subtle for dates where you want to make a big impression.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rose d'Ete opens with a tart, crisp green apple, quickly joined by bright bergamot and a green, slightly earthy galbanum. The heart blossoms into a fresh, dewy rose, supported by the subtle sweetness of linden blossom, a hint of mimosa's golden sunshine, and the clean, aquatic touch of lotus. It dries down to a soft, clean musk and ambrette, lingering with a delicate floral fruitiness.
