Blast from the past
It's light and lovely and very straightforward. No-nonsense. It's a true rose smell on me, like the rosewater we made as kids but then professionally bottled, even with an earthy wood smell. Very light, very subtle. Doesn't stay for long but it's a pleasant companion for an hour or two.

I must say I prefer the original though.

Nice rose fragrance if you don't mind reapplying
This is 90% fresh, blooming rose. The other 10% are made up of a very shy, lemony verbena and magnolia. Upon application I find the rose smell very overpowering and almost sickening. Then again, I'm not used to the scent of roses, so that's probably why. I can't pick up on the vanilla at all.
For about the first 30 minutes this is too overpowering for me. After that, it tones down to a skin scent that I occasionally still pick up. A drop of rose is completely gone after about 2 to 3 hours. So much for longevity.

I've never been too crazy about the smell of roses, but I decided that I should at least give them a try. Unfortunately though, I'm still not able to make up my mind about the scent of roses, despite having worn this a couple of times. Most people around me seem to enjoy it though, so I guess it's not as offensive as I think it is.

A Drop of Rose is very close to being a single note perfume, as the rose is definitely center stage. It does not mix with the other notes, it just overpowers them, which is a shame. Very linear. Sillage could be better and longevity is outright bad. Some EdT's have better longevity than this. I wouldn't buy it again, but if you like roses and don't mind reapplying, then this is for you.

Natural Rose
The fragrance A Drop of Rose of the Pure DKNY series by Donna Karan I got the first time before about
two or three years at Müller. He immediately impressed me positively. I didn't buy it right away, it took over a year.
I bought myself a 50 ml bottle. The bottle and the packaging are kept simple, which reflects the purity and simplicity of the fragrance well.
Who looks for a sweet and powdery rose scent will be disappointed here and should better look elsewhere.

A Drop of Rose is intended for friends of natural rose fragrances. That's how I feel the scent anyway.
I smell here a fresh rose, for me rather a slightly bitter dog rose or dog rose even if in the fragrance pyramid Damascus rose and Bulgarian rose will indicate. I'd suspect some geraniums here, too.
Even more grounded is this beautiful rose by some amber and sandalwood, which fits here perfectly.

The Sillage lies in the mediocrity, for me however exactly correctly perceptible.
And even with the shelf life, I'm very much going to fireden for such a fresh fragrance.
All in all it makes a pinkish impression with a slightly bitter undertone - I like this freshness.
Freshness without going into the sweet or trivial.

It should please friends of Weleda's discontinued rose fragrance Jardin de Vie-Rose.
This beautiful rose fragrance is allowed to stay in my collection - maybe I should get a bottle - the fragrance contains geraniol according to the packaging - who knows how long it will last during the montane reformulation wave.
