Rumeur 2 Rose

Rumeur 2 Rose from the French house Lanvin, composed by Honorine Blanc and released in 2006, is a light citrus floral for women. Nearly everyone describes it as floral and most as citrus, with a gourmand side noticed by a good share and woody, musky and amber touches by a few.

It opens like a glass of juice: grapefruit, orange, lemon and bergamot give a sparkling, slightly bitter freshness, pear adds a soft sweetness and green notes a leafy snap. The heart is a sunny garden rather than a single rose, with rose joined by honeysuckle, jasmine, magnolia and lily of the valley, all bright and clean. The base of musk, patchouli and amber is kept quiet, adding just enough warmth to hold the flowers in place.

This is a scent that stays close: most wearers report intimate sillage, and longevity is moderate for about a third and weak for nearly as many. It is voted almost equally for summer and spring and worn by the great majority in the daytime, which makes it an office-friendly, warm-weather floral for someone who prefers discretion.
