Unexpectedly complex potpourri
Rose isn’t a note that typically interests me very much. I’ve tried quite a few rose perfumes and most haven’t resonated with me. Rose Magnetic, on paper, seems simple so I wasn’t expecting anything exceptional. However, when I sprayed it on skin, what emerged was surprisingly complex, with an unexpected depth and body you would never guess from the notes.
The rose is dominant, and it’s an astringent, dusty and slightly animalic rose with a champagne-like fizziness. To me, it is a perfect photorealistic mimicry of dried red rose petals, such as one might find in potpourri. Contributing to the potpourri impression is a swirling mist of emergent notes that aren’t listed: spices, lemongrass, lavender, and something that resembles sandalwood maybe. The woodiness is probably from the cedar, but I don’t detect lychee or vanilla at all.
My gothic imagination associates this scent with a kind of decadent melancholy: the abandoned home of deceased grandparents who left bowls of potpourri on tables; roses left to die in their vases. A still life, a portrait of beautiful dead things.
This has become one of my favorite fragrances. It’s so easy to wear, yet has a rare, unique beauty.
