The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Rose Glacee is a light floral-citrus women’s perfume from Armand Basi released in 2011 and created by Francoise Caron. It opens on bright grapefruit, Amalfi lemon and crisp Granny Smith apple that lead into a Taif rose heart softened by apricot and a touch of cinnamon, and it settles on musk, amber and warm woods. The overall effect is a fresh, slightly powdery rose with a fruity lift rather than a heavy rose soliflore. With a 3.5/5 average from 597 votes, the fragrance has a mostly favorable but mixed reception among wearers.
Our take
I like the citrus-first opening and the soft Taif rose, it feels fresh and youthful for spring days, but the drydown is thin and fades too fast, often leaning into a Light Blue-like apple-citrus that buries the rose; fine as a daytime spritz, not a keeper if you want strong performance.

The Bottle
Rose Glacee has an agreeably unusual bottle. Its squat, rounded pale-pink body has a softer, more familiar outline, while the pink cap brings stepped, overlapping tiers and an irregular sculptural silhouette. The centered pale lettering is restrained against the bottle, but the cap gives the object enough character to avoid looking routine.
Original or Clone
The strongest case for Rose Glacee is authorship: Francoise Caron is credited with composing this citrus, rose and musky fragrance. That named creative source gives the original a distinction an interpretation cannot carry. One house is tracked as attempting this release, but the case for buying the original rests less on market attention than on its specific authorship and the bottle’s genuinely distinctive cap.
