great rose
This is my 4th Fragrances of Ireland and frankly the best. I have been on the ultimate rose search all of my life. This little known house has custom made this for my needs. Rose is so common a note, yet so difficult to capture the heart of a perfume. Inis arose does so effortlessly.

Rose perfumes in the past were always sought after affairs. La Rose Jacqueminot is legendary. Chamade brings me to tears. Nahema was enormous in its power. YSL Paris was epic rose with other flowers worked in. Inis arose is modern classic that few have discovered.

The roses here are lucid and clearly defined. Its anything but a soliflore. It opens like a fresh spring morning after it rained the night before. Then various roses weave in and out of each other. They are in all stages of bloom and colors. There is a bottom note somewhere that lends some support.

It is soft and doesn't last very long. Its not too feminine either. This is perfect for me. I use it as toner/after shave in the morning as my face loves rose. Its softens quickly and discreetly. On lazy weekends it is so comfortable!

I am so tired of the current parade of synthetic rose varieties that jam up the market and linger for several hours. There is no stale powder rooms or worse funeral home rot here. That is my ugly rose association. This is a beauty!

The first thing I think of when I think of Ireland is hills of green. The ever elusive rose always comes to mind as well. This is that imaginary rose of my dreams.

Yellow Polka Dot Lemon with a Rose Petal Pencil
Oddly enough, the Atlas cedar and Mysore sandalwood hit me first today with Inis Arose. Then, the Sicilian lemons top note in this actually made my mouth water. This scent is bright and cheerful another Spring and Summer Winner, IMO. It is so natural and juicy it gives me a visceral feeling of hunger/thirst. Luckily, before I had to interrupt what I doing to go make some fresh lemonade, this fragrance morphed into a very woodsy rose scent. This scent has a dry pencil shaving phase, which dries down to a fresh crisp watery floral akin to Creed's "Love in White" and similar to the transition between citrus to wood in Penhaligon's "Blenheim Bouquet" for awhile, before it heads into a kind of Watery-wood with commonalities to Moschino's "I Love Love". The sillage is moderate(about 6 inch radius (~15 cm radius)after the first hour. Inis Arose settles down into a final swansong of fresh rose petals and woody cedar and sandalwood, loosing its perky itsy-bitsy-tiny-weenie-yellow-polka-dot-lemon-zest bikini top completely. Very naughty, indeed! Leaving a subtle rose nested in a light clean musk and ready for a little black evening dress and a lovely romantic dinner night out on the town.

Bright and fresh rose without being stuffy or too cloying. Has a watery component to it that I'm not very fond of.
