I am currently trying out Arabic rose fragrances and was a bit disappointed here for the first time: very, very sweet candy factory, cotton candy, pickled lychee, strawberries like from gummy candies, intense floral notes with initially almost unpleasantly sweet, somewhat synthetic peaks. Over time, the artificiality fades a bit and some rose and musk emerge, but the fruitiness remains somewhat restless, fidgety, and a bit synthetic.
Overall very sweet. You have to like the lychee-fruity, squeaky notes. A very striking scent, with surprisingly good longevity. There is little rose for a "prive rose" and only subtly powdery. However, it is surprising how the scent changes and evolves over time. First, it is so flashy kitschy sweet, then it becomes floral, caressing, almost cheerful.
The bottle and packaging fit perfectly with the scent: both have a velvet flocking, making them soft to the touch. Extraordinary.
