I think just Gai has smelled the Angel Rose so far Erin. No place that I've been has had it yet.  I know Swimmie has also made a couple of trips to smell it, but they've not had a tester yet.  I finally got in some Demeters today that I ordered awhile back. I ordered a bottle of both peach and jasmine demeter for myself.  When I first sniffed the peach before spraying, it smelled chemically, and I thought "Oh DARN it!!!" but I sprayed it on a bit later after I had taken a shower, and after about 2-3 minutes, the chemical smell completely dissappeared, and now it just smells like a wonderful, orchard peach!!!  So right now, I'm wearing both the peach and the jasmine layered together, and I LOVE them!  I've actually had them on for a few hours now, and can still smell both clearly! I also bought the orchid, lavender, and strawberry ice cream, and love them also. I think the orchid smells really lovely to wear, and I think the lavender would be perfect for spritzing linens with! My favorite is definitely the peach though! I'll be wearing tons of it this summer!

I guess I'm just so used to the Hanae Mori lasting forever that I expect everything should be able to. I can always smell it the next morning. I use the Angel lotion and that last forever too, I only got a couple of hours out of the Le Lys unless it was just my nose. I'll have to give it another shot and ask someone else to sniff me. I'm tempted to go buy the Rose tomorrow and take it back if I don't like it. I'm really itching to try it!!
See, THIS is what I was talking about, with different skin types/body chemistry! Le Lys lasts all day and into the next morning on me! Mind, I couldn't get Hanae Mori off my skin with a scrub brush... Point is, I'm also used to having scents last a long time.
Right now, ever so weirdly, I can smell L on my wrists, but faintly. Which is great, as it's been over 12 hours and multiple hand-washings since I applied it!!! 
Erin, La Rose (Angel) smells softer than the other Angel scents, but also didn't last on me at all, where the other Angel scents last a long time on me. I didn't find it smelled like roses, either. Nor did it smell like a hippie-dirt-girl-rolled-in-roses... LOL!

Oh, and my Sephora doesn't carry Angel, so still no hippie-dirt-rose-picker for me.
Bummer, swimmie! At my fave fragrance store today, the gal gave me a sample of Rose, and one of TM's Innocence, too.
BTW, I did a total double-take when I quickly scanned your comment, above. I read it as "hippie-dirt-nose-picker." 
Tomorrow's the day for me to try Rose by itself. Today, I am bathed in L. And loving it!

I still haven't seen the L anywhere to sample it.  I love the La Rose, but I'm SOOOO hooked on the Lancome Hypnose now!!! Out of the last 4 I bought, it's the one that just really makes me smile, and seems to last on me. Lancome has it in box sets right now, in preparation for Mother's Day! A box with a bottle of perfume, tube of shower gel, and tube of moisturizer for a really reasonable price. Greg's still hooked on the Innocent and Pink Jasmine, and likes me to wear one of those though. So I still wear what I like during the day at work, and at night and on the weekends, I wear the Innocent or Pink Jasmine for him.

How did you like Rose by itself??
Hmmmmm... I like Le Lys and Violette much better than La Rose. It doesn't smell like rose on my skin. Just as well, me thinks. I mean, how many TM Angel fragrances can a gal have? Duh... 5, counting Angel. ROTF!
LOL! The gal who reps Angel here, nearly fainted on the spot when I told her a bunch of my friends (meaning my BTD fragrance babes) mix n' match their perfumes together -- like layering different fragrances. She visibly blanched. LOL! She actually shuddered and said she simply could not do that. Coward. 
Kimie, I also really like Hypnose, although I haven't purchased it, just been trying the sample out every now and again. It lasts well on me, too. Yay!
My fave is still L. Mmmmm-MMMMM! DH also very much likes it. 'Nother, Yay! 
I'm still waiting for the wee fragrance bottles to arrive! I ordered 12 each, of 1/4oz atomizers, and 1/4 oz plain glass bottles. I love to have some wee ones to take w/me in my bag. Kimie, do you know if the atomizers are refillable? I couldn't tell by the photos and forgot to ask. 
Life is great, anticipating the postgal's delivery of this package. I've been watching every day but no joy yet. Ah well. Such is life-in-the-waiting-mode.
