Rosa Blumarine 2016

A charmingly fresh, sensual, and feminine scent that flatters and caresses, making you almost forget the dreary weather. But let's take it step by step. The opening is fresh-floral, although once again, the top note seems to be skipped for me, and the heart note takes center stage right away. The trio of notes is wonderfully balanced, but for me, the rose takes the lead. In direct comparison on fabric and skin, I surprisingly notice no difference at all. The rose that reveals itself to me here is exactly the color of the bottle. Perhaps with a few splashes of soft yellow on the inside of the petals, but otherwise, it's not the classic dark red rose in style, but rather a modern and youthful, somewhat playful one. Those who usually struggle with rose scents might find their luck here. Additionally, the "young rose dominant" is beautifully nestled on musk and vanilla, which even takes away any lingering fear of roses for the last holdouts. Even in the dry down, I notice no difference between the two test spots. Both reveal a warm yet cheerfully fresh, sweet rose-musk scent with a hint of vanilla. Certainly a lovely companion through spring, summer, and autumn, and you can even cuddle up in it during winter when you long for the other seasons. The longevity is above average for me. Sprayed on in the morning, I went shopping, walked through wind and rain, did some housework, and... not only is my hairstyle still intact in the evening, but so is the scent. And it's still everywhere I applied it, as if I had just done so recently. All day long, I was surrounded by an extremely pleasant scent aura. High-priced perfumes often fade before this. Now we come to the next pleasant point about Blumarine Rosa. The price for such a long-lasting and finely composed fragrance is unbeatable. Surely, no star is born here, but rather an affordable gem for all who are as addicted as I am. Since the scent is rather playful, I wouldn't assign it to any particular age group. It is a fragrance for everyone who loves life and is simply in the mood for it. I think I will pick another BlumaRose tomorrow and pin it to my blouse...
