Candied Citrus Rind Rose
Interestingly enough, Frédéric Malle BIGARADE CONCENTREE appears to have been launched the very same year (2002) as Les Parfums de Rosine UN ZESTE DE ROSE. Citrus rose perfumes are few and far between, in my experience, so I was immediately reminded of the Rosine perfume upon donning the Malle today. Very similar line-up of notes, with the candied citrus rind dominating the rose.
This is a (nearly...) unique combination, and I like it for a change, but now I'm not even sure which of these two citrus rose perfumes I prefer! BIGARADE CONCENTREE opens with something ever-so-slightly rank, but it swiftly floats away so I do not want to eliminate it from contention for that reason alone.
