Rose powder
Red Rose smells like Kenzo’s Flower, which means that it is a clean, powdery rose resting on a pillow of white musks. The opening is sharp and green, with a minty swagger that reminds me of violet leaf or geranium, but soon settling into a pale, rosy powder. It smells girlish, like rose-scented lipsticks, body dusting powder, and those Pierre Hermes Ispahan macarons. A silvery thread of carnation emphasizes the spicy vintage floral vibe. Red Rose is perfectly pitched as a young girl’s first rose scent. But I would also recommend it to lovers of the retro-vibed cosmetic genre, which includes scents such as Teint de Neige (Lorenzo Villoresi), Ombre Rose (Brosseau), and even Lipstick Rose (Malle). Personally, I think it smells rather like a bar of pink soap, which is a nice thing to smell like once in a blue moon. (I imagine it working well in a water shortage).
