Sparkling Rosé Wine & Peach Blossom (Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Rosé Dupe)
When I first tested "Genius Rose | Emper," I thought, I know this one.
At some point in the last few years, I must have smelled it.
Initially, I thought of "La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum | Lancôme."
I unpacked my LVEB sample, compared the two, and no, that wasn't it.
After much contemplation, I did some research online, and finally found the answer.
This is supposed to be a dupe for "212 VIP Rosé (Eau de Parfum) | Carolina Herrera."
That makes sense, because the notes, even though they aren't visible here, are actually almost identical.
So it is a feminine fragrance.
Definitely NOT unisex, even though Emper claims it is.
Of course, anyone can wear what they want, but for me personally, it is 100% a women's perfume.
The scent opens with an inexplicable sparkling note and a good amount of pepper.
This is supposed to be "sparkling rosé wine."
Although I don't drink alcohol, so I don't really know how rosé wine is supposed to smell, but the sparkle does remind me of something alcoholic.
The original mentions "pink champagne."
That would probably fit better.
After a short time, it becomes pleasantly sweet.
Not candy-like sweet, but still sweet.
This is probably triggered by the peach blossom, which is much more present here than the rose, which is also listed in the DD.
Subtly fruity, floral, feminine, that's how I would describe Genius Rose.
In the end, I also perceive a bit of musk.
It joins in almost inconspicuously and then stays in the background.
The peach blossom remains the most prominent note for me until the end.
Unfortunately, the performance is not the best.
With 4 sprays, I can hardly perceive the scent.
Maybe it needs to mature? Or maybe I'm becoming nose-blind? I don't know.
When I move, I can smell it.
You could describe it as slightly fleeting, but still noticeable.
The longevity also doesn't seem to be the best, but it lasts about a day on clothing.
All in all, one can say that you get designer quality at a low price.
Currently, the fragrance is available for €19.60.
P/L is definitely more than just okay.
