Powdery Rose
I am a Rose-aholic ... that's just the way it is! This bottle is a gift from a friend who spoils me rotten with fragrances from a divine little perfumery in Rome, after sending him on what appears to be an impossible mission to find a few bottles of Tea Rose EDP (in the pink and gold box) for me. The shop owner suggested this as a suitable alternative!
This version of Evelyn Rose opens bright and shiny (I have tried the other and find it a little insipid) just like the beautiful gold flacon it is housed in. A deep and luxurious Rose note is present from the offset, aided and abbeted by a soapy aspect that I, strangely enough, find myself rather enjoying! It's just enough to present a clean, freshly showered aspect without simply smelling like soap perfumed with Rose. When the dry down commences a lovely , soft powderiness ensues. If I had to make comparisons, I would say that Evelyn Rose 2012 is a cross between my beloved Tea Rose and Ombré Rose parfum, which I also adore! I'm never really sure how to comment on longevity and sillage as I am a chronic oversprayer ... I just keep my finger on the nozzle until most of my available skin is coated LOL. I have been told that this one is room filling in the amounts that I use it ... the people I work with have come to expect my scent trail ... so much so that if there isn't one they immediately inquire if I am unwell ... teehee!
It appears that this lovely Rose from Crabtree and Evelyn will find a permanent spot in my rotation! Highly recommended for lovers of powdery Rose frags!!
