Winter Child
This rose is a winter child. Quiet, serious, bitter, rather cool. However, even now in autumn, I bet she is patiently waiting for the next summer. Because she is also a gentle, subtle scent being. To be able to show herself - blooming proudly or modestly - in all her facets, warmth will certainly help her.
Accordingly, the fragrance begins with a sour-sparkling citrus note. And I really mean sour and really fresh. It is very green. A little bergamot just manages to flick on a pale pre-spring sun, as petitgrain takes over the reins. With its dark green, somewhat exotic citrus that I love so much, it sends fresh wind and cold spring rain, so that stems, leaves, and buds may grow and thrive, which they do.
And from hard, small, green buds that develop on the blessing of leaves and stems, soft, naturally white rose petals actually begin to unfold. The roses bloom hesitantly among all that green. Their scent is bitter, soft, quite unsweetened, and spiced with a pinch of pepper. A beautiful interplay of dark green, exotic-citrusy-fresh, pepper, and soft, velvety, almost entirely unsweetened rose. In the background, a little warm (sandal) wood joins in unobtrusively. Finally, the fragrance indulges in a touch of sweetness (but not more!).
Thank you, because I did need that after all.
The charm of Rosa alba lies in the naturalness of the scent and the accompanying simplicity.
Not sweet, dirty, loud, or passionate. It does not demand. It does not lure, whine, or annoy. This is one that could accompany me out of the house every day.
It refreshes, calms, and grounds equally.
A white, fresh-bitter rose, indeed nestled in a vibrant variety of fragrance notes, which in its calm, unpretentious beauty is self-sufficient.
In fact, it does not bloom very loudly or for very long. For me, this is not a problem, as I like to switch scents in the afternoon and, moreover, I always have a bit of perfume lingering on my clothes, which naturally lasts much longer.
I tend to prefer warm and spicy scents, especially in autumn.
But on some days, I simply crave calm, green, and naturalness. And for that, Rosa alba is perfect.
Additionally, it enriches my rose collection with its uniqueness.
PS: And the fragrance is certainly suitable for men.
