The warmest, richest rose
Oh wow, this is so dreamy!
I already love Baiser de Florence, and Lettre de Pushkar is another hit from Ella K.
It's essentially a rose scent, but a very special one. The rose seems dewy, almost fruity and litchi-like to me, but the rest of the scent is warm, deep and balsamic. The vanillic amber in the base is so rich and creamy, it's intoxicating. There are hints of patchouli, saffron and oud that add a slight sharpness to the scent that breaks up the warmth, but only so much that it doesn't become smothering and syrupy. There is no harshness in this scent, it's definitely not your typical sharp rose/oud/saffron scent. A touch of cinnamon adds a wintery gourmand impression to perfect the fragrance. It's sparkling and mysterious, and at the same time very cozy and comforting.
And it gets even better the longer you wear it, the base becomes so deep and balmy, almost caramelly, but the luscious rose stays all through the drydown and always lends freshness to the scent.
In my opinion this is a fall/winter scent. Maybe it could work in dry, desert-like heat, but I don't think I'd ever feel like wearing such a warm, spicy rose in summer.
It's an intense fragrance, but due to the smoothness of the scent it doesn't become overwhelming like some sharper winter roses can be. Absolutely stunning!
