Answer:
Just received Chopard Madness edt. from Perfumebay.
I'm so disappointed - the juice smells so weak and undisitinct, it is nothing like the reviews I've seen. It just smells "dusty"...reminds me of when I was a little girl and filled water in my moms' empty perfume bottles; it's that watered down!
Can't be right..?
It wasn't expensive - but with the shipping costs to Norway it adds up.
Ombre Rose edt. arrived in the same package; not too pleased with that either; where is the rose?
I bought Femme Rochas and Micheal from M.Kors unsniffed; and they were both nice.

I bought Femme Rochas and Micheal from M.Kors unsniffed; and they were both nice. I had Ombre Rose many years ago, it does have a rose scent, but it is very powdery to me, so that kind of softens it. I don't think it's suppose to be a stark rose scent, there is alot of others out there for that.

Answer:
Yes I think " Ombre Rose " is supposed to be that way; it is not a bad scent, soft and powdery as you say..maybe a hint of rose there somewhere. It is wearable at least. But I'm pretty sure that Madness is off - it is just not wearable, and I'm not that picky;.. not yet

Answer:
Le Rose de Rosine is very disappointing! I should have known better, Rosine is not a house I'm fond of . Dreadful, floral mess. Eep!
