I got a sample of this one with my last purchase in the drug store and after reading the reviews first, I was really excited of trying this one out today since I'm really into wearing fresh and clean scents in (home) office. Many people stated this scent would be rosy but more on the fresh side … powdery, almost green – these kind of scents really get me into the mood of getting shit done.
Sadly though, White Tea Wild Rose didn't. For me this is a pure (and quite plain) rose scent.
When you first spray it, you really get the freshness (I guess it's the berries) people are talking about, but it's gone after a few minutes already.
Then it starts smelling more and more like rose while you still get the white tea note. But at this point – and we're only a few minutes into the whole experience – it already gets plain and boring to me.
A few hours into it now I feel like the white tea ist almost gone and what I'm smelling now, I associate with these classic rose soaps you always get in present bags (and I really don't want to be mean about this!), but in a slighty softer, more powdery way …
For me this one is just missing some complexity and playfulness. It's really straight forward but not in a sophisticated but almost boring way. Like someone who tried to hard to stay on the safe side, so it's just nothing unique or remarkable about this.
I agree though that this is a really inoffensive and clean scent and I think if you're into classic rosy scents, this could be a great purchase and I would even say a safe blind buy.
If you're not going crazy about rose scents or classic oldschool soapy scents then this probably won't make you happy.
