Positive Reviews

"I love, love this fragrance! It's simple as can be and perfect for that, just a delicious handful of rose petals. It is equally fresh, creamy & spicy so it feels like the real flowers are nearby. It's not current in the sense of being fruity (or dirty), but it also doesn't feel dated, just different." (Julia Glenn, fragrantica.com user)

"A very good rose fragrance, to my nose--realistic, with some green, not terribly sweet, a little piquant." (rene.saller, fragrantica.com user)

"I'm on a vintage-fragrance buying binge, and since I love roses so much, I decided, based on the reviews here, to buy a bottle on eBay. I LOVE this perfume! It's a simple fragrance, smelling just like roses. Not too sweet (thank goodness), not too dry. Subtle, but present." (BirdyInPA, fragrantica.com user)

"I bought this mostly for nostalgia purposes, as I remember this being at my grandmother's house when I was a little kid. It smells just as I remember it, a very strong sweet powdery rose. It doesn't last very long, but when put on top of a vanilla lotion (I used Avon's Vanilla) it deepens and smells divine." (mychinarose, fragrantica.com user)

"RR is a lovely Avon vintage. Slightly lemony and soapy, RR really is a true rose scent. Modest sillage and lasting power make this perfume completely work safe. It's a feminine scent from an earlier era, and thus may not appeal to those with contemporary preferences. I think this vintage perfume is worth a try, however." (Phantomias, fragrantica.com user)

"I just found a can of the Roses Roses talc in my great grandmother's dresser that was in storage. She passed away in 1978 when I was 4 years old. The little can still had scent and it took me right back to that sweet Texas lady." (perfumecharm.wordpress.com user)

"The best rose perfume I've ever tried - just the right smell and long-lasting. I wish they still made it." (CageyCollector, basenotes.com user)

"I'm a rose girl, and this one is all about the roses. It's a powdery rose, soft and feminine. Good for the day." (xdattax, basenotes.com user)

Negative Reviews

"Does smell dated and is very light in concentration." (drugstore classics, fragrantica.com user)
