Herb Rose with Character
Yesterday, while browsing through the perfumery, I was recommended a new Goldfield & Banks:
Rose Magnitude is one of those scents where I immediately notice that it is really well made. High-quality, thoughtful, and with character. But... it is definitely not for fans of subtle fragrances, quite the opposite.
The opening grabbed me right away. This combination of raspberry and iris butter is beautifully fruity, slightly powdery, and elegant. Added to this are cumin and buckwheat, which give the whole thing a spicy-dry touch. So it's not a fragrance with a typical sweet berry start, but rather dry fruity, clean, and mature.
At the heart, the Damask rose is clearly in focus. You can smell it distinctly, present, and confident. It is accompanied by ginger, which brings a fine spiciness. Together with geranium and violet, the fragrance gains a green, herbaceous depth. Here it becomes quite striking for me... spicy, powerful, and indeed slightly masculine. Don't get me wrong, the fragrance is of course unisex, but the rose is not a Delina or Chloé rose. It does not represent pure femininity here.
In the base, everything calms down a bit. The spiciness decreases, and amyris, papyrus, and sandalwood bring a nice woody green structure. There are also barely noticeable vanilla and tonka bean, which do add a bit of sweetness, but really only subtly.
It actually reminds me a bit of Scherzo Eau de Parfum by Miller Harris. It also has this present, spicy rose with strong character. However, Rose Magnitude feels a bit more herbaceous and angular to me.
Do I like the fragrance? Yes, I do. It is high-quality, spicy, very present, and definitely not boring. But personally, it is a bit too striking, too herbaceous, and also too masculine for me.
A fragrance that I respect and enjoy sniffing from time to time. But for that, a sample is enough for me.
