Quality fragrance, just not for me
I bought Rise and initially I didn't like it. The opening stage is nice. It doesn't smell like any of the modern perfumes out there but has a nostalgic feel to it, like something that I've smelled in my youth. It also has a bit more presence than most designer and celebrity fragrances which are generally a little too soft and watery for my taste.
The opening is a mix of apricot, bergamot and jasmine. The sillage is moderate, but it does turn into a skin scent after just a few hours. Longevity-wise I wish it was a bit better.
Once it has dried down it smells like a mix of woody notes, musk and a little hint of basil. I don't care much for it in this stage. The opening is really the best part for me. It's good for rainy fall days and in a way it is very comforting. This is not a true like though because of the basenotes during the drydown, too woody and musky for me.
