Eau Rose Diptyque 2022 Eau de Parfum

Throughout my fragrance journey, I have been silently trying to find the "perfect" rose fragrance. Eau Rose stands out as the closest I have come to fulfilling this goal of mine. This is a rose that has a very clear goal, focusing solely on the natural beauty of the rose. What makes this fragrance so compelling to me is that it is very linear, fresh and vibrant, while still maintaining just the slightest bit of powder and sweetness. It never leans too far into syrupy or jammy territory, or in the opposite direction, bitterness and harshness. There's also a gentle fruitiness, which is quite typical in rose fragrances, woven into this composition. This fruitiness works well with the composition, and helps to amplify the freshness of the rose. In general, I found that Eau Rose seems to sidestep the excesses that many rose fragrances of today seem to gravitate towards in favor of a bit of a more serious take on the note, rooting itself in a sort of clarity and of course, the feeling of the color pink.

For those who could call themselves seasoned rose lovers, Eau Rose provides a refined take on the note that is elevated above many others. And, for those who might be unsure of rose fragrances, it offers an inviting introduction that is extremely pleasant and graspable. I don't think Eau Rose is reinventing the rose by any means, but it is certainly giving a worthwhile and appreciable take.
