Gorgeous rose soliflore
This one is an ode the complex beauty of roses aroma, a project that was born from a bespoke fragrance and that the perfumer, due the given feedback, decided to launch it before making it more dirty than the name implies. A rose is a flower that works very well inside a soliflore fragrance, but she can go through sour paths that might make her quite difficult to enjoy in its fullness.This doesn't happen here, and it's greener and sour side is found properly controlled, giving space to fruitier tonalities, a waxy side and boozy nuances. This very beautiful rose accord start to me with a sparkling citrus opening with leather nuance. After it, the rose regins supreme in the composition with a beautiful harmony of the aformentioned aspects. This is for me almost an arab inspired perfume, but there is only a slightly suggestion of an oud accord through the cypriol. There is in some moments a slightly iris and saffron shade that give the roses a earthy and powdery side. The woods in any moment steal the scene from the rose, the work more with the labdanum as structural essences, que mixes to carnal and red gorgeous rose to give it a slightly woody ambery color.

Full of Longing for Times Long Past...
I stand in the attic of my grandparents' old barn, which has long been abandoned. Light streams through the tiny casement window at the gable, illuminating the small room. In the corners, cobwebs filled with wood shavings hang, captured there decades ago. Dust floats between the incoming rays. The emanations of the old suitcases and chests that have been stored here for as long as I can remember linger in the air. Mixed in is the scent of the dried wooden beams and the meager, crusted remnants of the pitch coating on the ridge beam. I gently place the old picture back on the floor, which I had picked up earlier. It will stay here. Only the memories will I take with me. I carefully descend the steep wooden stairs to the hayloft and from there continue down the old crooked ladder to the ground. The barn door creaks shut behind me. One last time, I turn to the place where I spent a wonderful time of my childhood and say "Adieu!" forever... with tears in my eyes.

Many thanks to PallasCC for the sample.

Absolutely fascinating. Smells like burnt rubber in the attic of an old barn on a summer day. Very soothing.

The Rosenkavalier wears his smoky bar leather jacket and waters his plants with sharp-sour furniture polish.

Smells like the dentist. Then leather and a bit of rose come in. Help, I’m getting a toothache!

If rose, then like this! Beautifully smoky at the start. The rose is black, wrapped in rough leather. Mahogany, labdanum & vetiver (...)

Unassuming start, Oudrose like many others; interesting, quirky development: velvety, dark red, rose oil-soaked suede.

Woody, rugged, resinous, rose-oud scent, striking, androgynous, rose with cubeb pepper note, I would want to own and use often.
