Floral with a Certain Something
Where could this fragrance take us? To illustrate, I quote from the Wikipedia article about Sophie La Roche, which in turn quotes Goethe:

“She was the most wonderful woman, and I could not compare her to any other. Slim and delicately built, rather tall than short, she had a certain elegance even into her later years […], which gracefully hovered between the demeanor of a noble lady and a dignified bourgeois woman.” " (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_von_La_Roche, accessed 15.06.22)

A fragrance that bears such a name should reflect this judgment. In my opinion, it does. The scent has a certain presence. It suits a woman who published an educational magazine for women in the 18th century, rather than a fashion journal.
It is quirky, it is beautiful and sweet without trying to please. I won’t want to wear it every day; it’s not an everyday scent like some generic floral fragrance or Nivea EdT or a 4711 (I mean this purely descriptively; it is not meant to belittle either the everyday scents or Sophie La Roche).

The top note is spicy-herb-fresh and quickly transitions into a sweet rose that lingers. However, there is always a component that makes the fragrance special, and like its counterpart Bettina von Arnim, it ensures that you have a unique scent that you won’t find everywhere.
Just under 50 euros for 100 ml of good quality Eau de Parfum is also a fair price.

Fresh verbena at the start, the star anise bothers me a bit, then the rose takes the stage. Wonderful, with high recognition value!

Starts fresh, herbaceous + green with verbena, before the roses take over. Unfortunately, the freshness fades with the increasing sweetness.

The more often, the better! I like it more and more. The sweet rose wears wonderfully even in the hot summer.

The lightest and most transparent among the Ffm. - roses. A delicate peony-centifolia combo, wonderfully fresh verbena top note. Spring scent!
