Rose Orage Chabaud 2018

What a scent. One of the most graceful rose fragrances I have ever smelled. I was on a long quest for a long-lasting classic rose scent.
Either the previous test candidates were too oriental, too fruity, or too green. If you want them to last, they can often be overwhelming (yes, Rose Prick and Tabac Rose, I'm looking at you). On the other hand, I can’t perceive the fresh rose scents after 3 hours (Rose of No Man's Land and Elizabethan Rose)
Rose Orage has the perfect balance and simply smells "just" like a beautiful garden rose. What sounds simple seems to be more complicated than it is after my ~20 test runs.
The floral rose scent continuously changes, sometimes more radiant, sometimes more sensual, sometimes fresher. For me, an excellent piece of perfume artistry with remarkable longevity without becoming stuffy.
This scent is pure rose in all its beauty.
