Web ID: 22497823Nice Rose Perfume
The smell of this perfume was very nice. I usually shy away from anything rose scented, as it usually smells like an elderly woman. This was different. I would describe it as a fresh rose scent. I am deducting a star because of the staying power; it didn’t last a full day on me.

Warm, feminine, and luxe
I received Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L’Absolu complimentary from Influenster, and it’s such a beautiful scent. It’s warm, elegant, and slightly sweet with a deeper, more intense feel than the original. A little goes a long way, and it lasts for hours on my skin. The travel spray is perfect for on-the-go and feels very luxe. This is a great fragrance if you love sophisticated, feminine perfumes that aren’t overpowering.

So good
Lancôme Idôle Aura Forbidden Rose is such a beautiful, modern rose fragrance. It opens with a bright, fresh floral that feels feminine without being overpowering. The rose is soft and slightly sweet, blended perfectly with warm vanilla and subtle woody notes that give it depth and elegance. What I love most is how wearable it is — it’s light enough for daytime but still romantic enough for evening. The longevity is impressive, lasting for hours without needing to reapply, and it leaves a soft, classy trail that gets compliments. Overall, Forbidden Rose feels luxurious, confident, and effortlessly chic. If you love rose scents that are fresh yet warm and sophisticated, this one is definitely worth trying.

Pleasant Flower Scent
I like that this scent is subtle and not overpowering. It has a nice flowery scent, and it doesn’t bother my asthma. I usually do not select perfumes that smell like roses, but I really liked this one.

Not what I like
It smells unique. Like a dried fig you find at grocery store and it stays like that, it also didn't last probably only 3-4hrs.

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on Forbidden Rose. We are truly sorry to hear that the longevity didn't meet your expectations, but we appreciate your unique description of the scent profile! The "dried fig" note you experienced is a deliberate part of this fragrance's composition, which blends the timeless elegance of the rose with the divine facets of the fig. This is achieved through a Fig Accord, featuring green and lactonic accents, and a Fig Marmalade Accord, which provides the characteristic freshness of the fruit with the slightly sugary sweetness of candied fruit. These notes are beautifully balanced by our Centifolia Rose, which shines with honeyed pear and lychee-esque notes at its heart. We sincerely value your honesty regarding the 3-4 hour wear time, and we will be sure to share your feedback with our Product Development team for future consideration. Thank you again for giving this evocative scent a try!
Not a luxury scent
This fragrance does not smell like a rose in any way. I can’t even clearly describe the scent, but it was shockingly unpleasant from the moment I sprayed it. Instead of anything floral or elegant, it came across harsh, chemical, and almost sour. It was so vile that I had to wash it off immediately, and even then it lingered longer than I wanted. I expected a true rose scent or at least something soft and romantic, especially from a luxury brand, but this was completely unwearable for me. Very disappointing.

Hi there! We are sincerely sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you had with this fragrance. We truly appreciate your honesty, as it is very important for us to understand when a scent—especially one intended to be floral and elegant—misses the mark so significantly for a customer. It is deeply disappointing to hear that instead of the soft, romantic rose you expected, the fragrance came across as harsh, chemical, or sour on your skin. Fragrance is an incredibly personal experience, and because of the complex way aromatic molecules interact with individual skin chemistry and pH levels. We would love to recommend visiting one of our Lancôme counters to try out our La vie est belle L’Elixir Eau de Parfum. This scent opens with sparkling raspberry and luminous violet leaf notes beautifully blending with a warm cocoa butter base.
Smells exactly like rosewater
I did not like the scent. It smells only of roses. It seems like I am using rose water. Even though the perfume says rose, I expected some other scent notes.
