Catherine Malandrino

Romance de Provence

I liked it but it was maybe not my favorite, but it was a nice summer/spring scent

It's better than nothing. The patchouli is not my favorite, so it seems a little "mature" smelling to me... my grandmother would probably love it.

This is a lovely long lasting(but not over-powering) floral with a patchouli base. Very similar to Flowerbomb or La Vie Est Belle. Not too young but not too old and very versatile. It would be great as a signature scent.

Love this scent. Almost a more "mature" version of viva la juicy- less sweet, but just as lasting.

This is less alcohol scented, or less floral potency. I love this. This would be ideal for those that cant handle floral scents.

i love this scent! it’s very light & femenine. not to bold, but definitely stands out. it has a very warm autumn 🍂 note to it that i absolutely love!! i’ve already been shopping around for full bottles :) it’s on my xmas list.

Scent is a nice everyday scent..but to me i felt it was more on the sweeter side then i would have liked. I would put this more into the juicy coutour kinda of scent

Very nice smell, comes off with almost a baby power fresh smell on me when it dries. Stays a decent amount of tine, overall happy with this choice

I'm 25 female and what I can say is it last long, at the begging could be little strong but after few minutes the sexy, elegant essence kicks in! I've got lot of compliments.

Smelled like old ladies. Definitely not for me!

Definitely a yummy scent. It’s super sweet but not as fruity smelling as I expected. The caramel really evens the fragrance out.

Oh my gosh I have been getting sunburned for a while now this is my first review because I feel this perfume deserves it! it’s so beautiful it smells very feminine and it’s absolutely perfect for the summertime, for the office, for date night really for anything you want to wear it for! All of the notes blend together perfectly just to smell feminine and more grown-up I would say more for your 30s up. I highly recommend if you’re struggling to choose a cent that you choose this one! Also I believe it is cruelty free, It’s amazing and absolutely rave product Reminds me of Viktor and Rolf flower bomb just without the patchouly.

A beautiful floral gourmand fragrance that has great lasting power (on me, at least). I was expecting it to be more fruity based on the notes, but I definitely get more florals on my skin.

Smells strong but i love it!

Love this scent

Started off amazing and after a couple hours smelled terrible!!

This scent was a bit too strong for me. I was expecting something a little less sophisticated. I get headaches easily from perfumes and this one gave me one. I sprayed it twice in my living room and it lingered for ever. It was something I more imagine my grandmother wearing. Just not for me.

Loved this one. Definitely more my style! Clean scent. Smells like a lady boss.

I enjoy this scent

I was excited to get the scent this month, I was disappointed.... felt like this one was way To floral, over powering! Not a fan at all....

Heavy on the caramel so pretty sweet but long lasting and the sweetness lessens throughout the day and the scent gains some warmth and complexity.

Smells like flower bomb, which i don't care for to begin with. Don't really care for it, it smells a bit borderline for much older women.

Sadly this is very disappointing. An “old” smell. And it’s strong. 👎

I love the scent, it is sexy and sweet with a kick of spice. The black currant isnt overpowering and the florals make it nice and airy. It does not last long, i definitely have to re-apply throughout the day. After a couple of hours it was indetectable. That is the only reason for the 4 stars.

I really love Catherine Malandrino Romance de Provence. It smells light and refreshing and wears well throughout the day. I'd highly recommend it!

It smells really good. I’ve been asked what perfume it was and have received many compliments.

I enjoyed the scent. This scent makes me feel sexy and isnt too strong. It goes a long way. One of my favorites so far.

From the very first spritz on my wrist, it was love at first sniff! It’s floral, it’s gourmand, it’s sexy, it’s feminine. I’ve had several men stop me and ask what perfume I was wearing so they could purchase for their wife. I get compliments every time I wear it. Not to mention that I can’t stop sniffing myself! This is definitely full bottle worthy.

Is my Favorite

My absolute favorite! I have the full size of this and it is the only bottle of perfume I have bought in 15 years, so I think that really says something. Flowery but not overpoweringly, melting to deeper amber-y and sandalwoody musk.

This smell to me slightly confuses me senses, it is sweet with a kick of spice. I had a hard time deciding between three and four star, it comes on strong but within 20 minutes it's like it was never sprayed. So if you wear this travel with it an apply throughout the entire day.

I was unsure about this fragrance based on some of the reviews associating it with a "old lady". However, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased. It has a sweet floral scent with a spicy note. This isnt what I would consider a everyday scent, but a professional, mature, romantic scent with a little fun due to the sweetness. It is strong at first with 1 spray being enough, it tapers off to a beautiful fragrance. It does fade almost completely after a few hours requiring a refresh (why I did not give it 5 stars). Overall, I love it and looking forward to adding a full bottle to my collection.

The smell was VERY heavy for me. Prefer scents more light and airy. Sandalwoods and honeysuckle or jasmine. This was very very heavy scent

It's a great smell and it does last, but not something i would wear every day. It was so strong and rich that i found myself trying to tone it down with a lighter perfume. It's very exotic and sultry. A luxurious, sexy scent that i would recommend for date night but definitely not everyday or work.

Smells a little sweet which some people don’t like but I love it, reminds me of vanilla!

This is a heavy fragrance that reminds me of my parents date night. The scent would be wonderful if they brightened it up. Spicy and sweet.

Not loving it, a little to spicey for me. But I love Scentbird !!

I love it! Putting it on everday

This smells nice however it was a little heavy on me. It smells better later in the day when the scent has calmed down some. It has more of a musky smell than I typically enjoy. Not to take away that this has a very nice combination of notes it was just not for me. It was not a smell I wouldn't identify as grandma-ish, it's more of a strong clean smell.

So today I just got my second months perfume. I really like this one. It has a soft powder smell to it but not overbearing. To me, it is a very similar scent to Calvin Kleins' Euphoria. So if you love that perfume you will more than likely love this one. My aunt also loved it to. I recieved the Dolche & Gabanna Light Blue last month and it made my headache intensify. This one has not affected me like that, so I'm glad about that.

My first impression is too sweet. It sprays on very sweet and very strong. It does fade with wear during the day but remains on the sweet side. Not my style.

My first impression of this scent was the strong sweetness it gave off. I caught the note of caramel immediately. It's not sweet through and through, but has a tone of sophistication as well. I love perfumes that have a candy smell, as long as they aren't overly sweet. My husband loves this too!

I was surprised with this one. At 1st i didnt really liked it cause it was too strong but once it wore off it was such a pretty scent. Almost like a powdery finish. I smelled it all day. Really like this one!

I love Style de Paris, so I thought I would check this out, more light and floral feeling than I prefer.

Disappointed. Reminds me of something a grandma would wear.

It has a light hearted and clean scent. Very feminine.

It smelled like something my an elderly lady would wear. Not a fan

Love it!

Smelled like baby powder and literally my 83 grandmas selection

Long lasting. Beautiful fragrance!

I love this scent so much! This is the first perfume that I have gotten where I can smell it on me all day and actually find myself sniffing my wrists! My husband loves this scent on me!

Its just too spicy or strong for me. Wasn't my scent at all. First one that has disappointed me.

At first i wasn't sure I was going to like this perfume. It's a bit strong when you first put it on. After awhile I found I actually love it. Smells so romantic and I'm getting so many compliments on it.

This scent is very romantic and has a sweet scent, but it is not overpowering. It smells delicious!

I really do love this scent. It’s sweet and fruity, but can have a touch too much sweet. There is a touch of a clean scent after it dries down as well. Kind of reminds me of Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris, which is a good thing. I’ve gotten compliments everyday I’ve worn it. I feel like it doesn’t last as long as I’d like. But I would def purchase a full size.

Love love love

This scent is not something I would ordinarily wear. It's a little sweet and I usually go for a cleaner scent. With that being said, I do like it and it has a sort of hypnotic effect on me. You definitely can't wear too much as it could be a bit over powering but I do like it.

This is my favorite so far! It's scent is robust without being overpowering. Bold, yet feminine. It smells "rich". I have gotten so many compliments on this perfume. It makes me feel pretty :)

Very nice scent. Sweet but not overwhelming but I would suggest only 1-2 sprays. My husband loves it, too.

Love

Is a good scent

Very clean and sexy with a balanced amount of sweet from the vanilla and caramel and the fruity from the pear, apple blossom and black currant. My favorite!!!

This scent is so intoxicating, I honestly can't get enough of it. Will definitely purchase a full size bottle after the sample.

Love this scent!

It is a little too sweet smelling

This fragrance is beautiful! It is now in my top 5 favorites. I smell the sweet fruit fragrance first, but then the amber wins out. It is an elegant scent to me. One spray is enough to last awhile, more than that may be overbearing. I would highly recommend this perfume!

This is one of my favorites. It’s sweet smelling but not sickly sweet.

I have the other sent by Catherine Malandrino and i absolutely love it. Not this one. Super Powdery it reminds me of an old lady.

Hands down my favorite scent ever. So clean fresh and feminine.

I really enjoy this scent , I'm 35 and I think it's the perfect scent for my age group. The fragrance lasts all day , I'm pleased

I had a good feeling about this one based on other reviews, and I was right! Love it! Would definitely buy this one in the future. Smells very similar to Gucci Rush (red square bottle) which I wore about 10 years ago, EXCEPT this is just a smidgen lighter. Still sexy, spicy, and sweet- but instead of punching you in the face like Rush does, it slaps your face :) Husband is crazy about it too.

When this arrived I sprayed my wrist and said uh...nope. I couldn't just let it sit there so I sprayed it on the next morning. After it settled and "marinated" on my skin I really like it. It starts a little powdery and floral but give it a few and it turns into a nice, not too sweet smell. I cam catch a hint of berry. Don't give up on it!

This scent is very sweet. I am a huge fan of her other fragrance Paris. It smells absolutely amazing. This one has similar hints but a lot lighter and the scent does stay with you. All in all it isn't one I would buy for myself regularly but to use for this month is just fine.

It really does not smell like any of those ingredients listed. Maybe they sent me a parisian old antique perfume. Very headachy.

I love this scent! Scentbird has never let me down.

Absolutely love this fragrance. It is my favorite ever!

A little too matronly for me.

Lovely scent and many compliments when worn!!

I absolutely love it 😍Got so many compliments today and the perfume stayed on all day!

I really enjoy this! It comes off spicy and strong at first but it mellows into a less spicy more your gourmand scent as it settles. I don't really get the apple pie thing but I do get wiffs of spice, baked sugar, and maybe a floral apple scent at different times. It never quite comes together to make an apple pie scent but I do love how it smells!

Love this scent, smells like cotton candy!

My new favorite of all time perfumes!!!! Love the name - love the smell!

Love this smell! I get lots of compliments when I wear. A little goes a long way.

Instantly disliked. Very strong powdery, floral smell. Seems old lady like and not as described above.

It smells divine. I love it!

really loved this fragrance

Beautiful scent! Does not fade, but lingers through the day.

This is my favorite perfume. Wish I could bathe in it. It's sweet but not overwhelming.

This is my favorite of all. Smells like what I vision Heaven to smell like. Very sweet and soft but also stays on all day

Too powdery, I spray it around the home like febreeze. Not for me.

I really liked this. Being that it’s my first CM fragrance I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s sweet, but in a sexy, sultry, sort of way.

This is the first fragrance in 8 months that I disliked immediately. Dated, mature and nothing like what the main notes would suggest, it's a heavy, overpowering perfumy scent that just isn't for me. I don't get green tea, or warm caramel or apple pie. Maybe black currant, flowers and musk. It's an extremely rich and heady fragrance if that's your thing.

Very strong powdery smell. Old lady powder and extremely feminine floral scent.

Just received this perfume. I love it, it smells like a vogue magazine haha. it's very sultry and sophisticated and a little sweet.

I love the smell of this perfume

This perfume is exactly what you would expect from CM if you're already familiar with her perfumes. This one tends to lean a bit more on the musky side the Style de Paris but it still smells wonderful. If you like citrus and musk together you should try this.

nope, too many things going on!! It is definitely bad, overwhelming and strong. Something a grandmother would wear. Way too floral that it fruit/candy. I could mostly smell oranges which i am very fond of but this blend was not my cup of tea.

I have found my perfume...this scent stays with me all day and I get so many compliments. I will surely be buying this.

Love this scent!!! Smells heavenly

I really didn't particularly care for this scent I ended up giving it away to a friend that liked it.. I didn't like the patrouille it was a little too much

I really enjoy this fragrance!!! Only one spritz is needed, if you do more, it's a little too strong! The smell does last for long periods of times, so you don't have to constantly reapply. I would use this for parties and maybe an every other day use.

Love love love!!! Smells yummy

I had high hopes with this one but it was just too floral for me. I could barely smell the sweet vanilla note

I enjoy this perfume. There are many layers to it. Its brought me several compliments and it has long lasting power to it. I think this would be a mature scent.
