The Name Says It All!
Rose and the unisex theme can quickly go in both directions..
Well, let's start from the beginning. I only know the Initio fragrances from hearing and reading about them, so I ordered the large sample set with 10 samples directly from Initio, and my journey begins with Atomic Rose.
About the scent
It starts surprisingly fresh, sparkling, and fruity, somewhat like a chilled peach soda, which we probably owe to the bergamot.
After about 5 minutes, the soda develops into a somewhat minty rose, which gains momentum more and more, and after about half an hour, it is fully present and wraps itself in a dark vanilla cloak because it’s cold outside.
Although one might think it could only go in a warm direction now, I must say that I still perceive some pleasantly fresh notes that occasionally make an appearance. From this point on, it is straightforward and linear without further change.
Longevity & Sillage
With 3 small sprays from the sample, the scent lasted about 8 hours on my skin. Initially, for the first 3-4 hours, it radiated very strongly, but then it became more intimate, and my surroundings didn’t perceive it as much anymore. This might also be because I didn’t get much out of the sample. I can imagine that the fragrance could add 1-2 more layers in terms of sillage and longevity.
Conclusion. An intense, elegant, fresh rose scent that impresses with modern freshness and darkness at the same time. For me, it’s a fragrance for the colder seasons or transitional periods. It leans more towards the feminine side for me. However, anyone who doesn’t mind that should definitely give this fragrance a try.
