Angela, I liked also Nahema (and bought it) and a lot of other scents you reviewed.
I did not buy perfume this year, so I guess I can allow myself to improve my collection with my first chypre scent. Will be the most expensive perfume I bought yet.
I wonder why I always come back to roses? I have roses with leather, with patchouli, now I guess I will look for roses with incense. Perfume is a journey I gladly enjoy!

That’s so funny! That’s almost exactly what I did, too. I had a sample, smelled it and wasn’t all that impressed, and gave it away. Then I smelled it again and bought a bottle. Go figure. Anyway, I’m glad you like it!

Dear Angela, I had a sample of this and gave it away. Somehow I managed to ordered it again and I thought: Oh! Where have you been for so long?
So I came back to NST to check your review and I find myself again. I cannot really afford this, but I will. Who needs to book a holiday when you can have Eau Suave, a cozy blanket and your dreams?

It’s such a nice scent for a warm day, I think. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

I have this as a sample on my desk, and I think is gorgeous, at the start I thought it is green, was crsip and tart but now it is roses, and somehow romantic feelings.
A perfect wedding scent I think, and really gorgeous for every rose lover! Your description is perfect as always, thank you.

Oh no! That’s not what I meant at all… it is actually lovely, but not something I need to own. Maybe I’ve just gotten jaded.

Ann, I hadn’t seen your comment about RChypree being gourmandy before I tested it today, but I did also feel that there was something almost edible about it. In my case, though, my brain kept saying, “Delicious!”

Once out of its rose phrase, it began to remind me a little bit of 31 Rue Cambon, which is a good thing. However, I have a decant of 31RC, so I am probably not going to be buying the Tauer. I’ll use every drop in my generous sample vial, though.

Now that’s what they call “damning with faint praise”!

Luca Turin wrote that Eau Suave was an attempt at a Givenchy III type of fragrance–a thick, green chypre–and although I don’t think Eau Suave goes that far by any means, I do get green in it. And rose, definitely.

Very coincidentally, I received a vial of this as a swap “extra” last week and just got around to testing it today. What a very nice rose fragrance. I don’t get a lot of green or spice, but it’s certainly lovely and worth a try for those who can never have enough rose scents.

I use non-toxic slug bait, but sometimes it just isn’t enough. Replanting the beans wasn’t bad, since I was doing it from seed, but I had to wait so long for them to produce! This year looks much better.
