It’s nice, but it doesn’t break the mold. People often compare it to Miss Dior Cherie, but to me, it smells much more like Alexandre J’s Morning Musk. I owned the Musk before; when I tried this, I thought, “I’ve smelled this before,” not knowing which one it was. Once I saw the comparison, I said, “Yes, that’s the one!” haha. It’s a clean, citrusy fragrance with a sweet touch. Pleasant, but it’s a scent you already know.

Miss Dior Cherie is *my perfume*, the one where I thought, “That’s me.” Roses Elixir is very similar, especially when it dries down. Are they identical? Of course not. It lacks depth and the sweetness isn’t as intense; the opening isn’t quite as sparkling either. It’s a more innocent Miss Dior Cherie, with a shy look. Maybe in the floral-fruit balance of the Elixir, the floral side wins. I’m a huge fan of Cherie, so I notice this, though others might not care since they’re almost identical when dried. I’ll try it with the new Miss Dior Parfum; it could be a bomb. Should I recommend it? Absolutely, I loved it!

Miss Dior Cherie is *my perfume*. It’s the one I tried and thought, ‘That’s me.’ Roses Elixir is very similar, especially once it dries down. Are they identical? Of course not. Elixir lacks some depth and its sweetness isn’t as sharp. Its opening is less sparkly. It’s like a more innocent Miss Dior Cherie with a shy gaze. Maybe in Elixir’s floral-fruity balance, the floral side takes the lead. But I’m an absolute fan of Cherie, and I don’t know if others notice these differences since they are almost indistinguishable once dry. I’m going to try it paired with the new Miss Dior Parfum; it could be a bomb. Should I recommend it? Absolutely, I loved it.

It’s more floral than fruity, though the citrus notes really stand out. It’s fresh and very feminine. I don’t think it’s a standout fragrance for making a huge impression, but it’s lovely and one of the easiest Montales to enjoy. That said, I wouldn’t buy it blind. In the opening, for about 20-25 minutes, I detect a slightly plastic note; it’s not annoying, but it might make someone hesitate. After that, it fades away, letting the floral-citrus shine. The strawberry stays in the background, while the fresh rose leaf and pink roses take center stage. It lasts days on clothes and easily 8 hours on skin with a moderate sillage. Edit: The plastic note I mentioned has completely disappeared.

It’s more floral than fruity, with a citrus touch that adds freshness and femininity. It’s not a fragrance meant to stand out too much, but it’s very lovely and easy to like among Montale’s references, though I don’t recommend buying it blind. After about 20-25 minutes, there’s a slightly plastic aftertaste that doesn’t bother me but might make someone hesitate; after that time, the floral and citrus notes shine. The strawberry stays in the background, highlighting the fresh pink rose leaves more. On my skin, it lasts about 8 hours with moderate sillage. Note: I no longer perceive that plastic note; it has disappeared completely.

I didn’t know Miss Dior Cherie, but Coco Made in Paris definitely has its own style, though it seems more youthful and refreshing than Chanel. It has that particularity I have with strawberry perfumes: they tend to tickle my nose a bit. It opens citrusy and fruity, then settles into something more serious. It’s a beautiful fragrance.

I’ve never tried Miss Dior Cherie, but Coco Mademoiselle definitely has its own style; however, it feels much more youthful and refreshing to me than Chanel. I have a quirk where strawberry-based perfumes give me a slight nose tickle. It starts bright and fruity, then settles into something a bit more serious. A beautiful fragrance.

I discovered it in a decant and got hooked, then I bought Alexandre J’s Morning Musk and it felt very similar; without testing them together, looking at the notes made me think of this: fruity style, fresher than citrus, floral, sweet, and musky, super feminine, soft for work without being annoying or for a first date, moderate sillage, and about 4 hours of longevity on my skin. Very rich!

Very pretty and sparkling, though the musk is quite noticeable. Longevity and sillage are spectacular.

On my skin, the strawberry, its leaves, and the rose stand out with a hint of musk in the background. It’s refreshing, feminine, and very pleasant. It’s a bit like Miss Dior Cherie EDP, but they’re not the same: Roses Elixir is musky, green, and fresh, while Miss Dior is juicier and sweeter. It’s not the most original in the world, but it’s pretty and ideal for strawberry lovers.
