Significant difference to the vintage ...
This review applies to both the EDT and the EDP.

On the occasion of sniffing a small vintage miniature that I still have, I decided to purchase this beautiful fragrance again.

Big mistake..!! At least for those who specifically liked the vintage (when it was not yet a vintage). A second attempt with the EDP led to the same result.

The current OMBRE ROSE is a fragrance where the EDT and EDP actually smell the same and only differ in their strength and density…….there is, so to speak, a summer and a winter version.

In the current version, I miss the shimmer, the clarity, and the fresh powderiness of the vintage. Specifically: Aldehydes and vetiver are noticeably missing. Additionally, the current version also contains coumarin, which, to my knowledge, was not present in the original version…..

Thus, the current version is indeed primarily rosy-powdery and no longer fresh-powdery,……it has less iris content, is less radiant and sparkling, and overall more modern. This is not necessarily bad, but it is simply not what I wanted….

Ah…..there used to be more tinsel *grin*…..

A beautifully soft dream of roses and powder
well-balanced, not too sweet, not too dry
Subtle soft presence, never intrusive
Wonderful!

A powdery light rose reflects in the gentle light of the green pond. It casts its shadow... sweet, romantic. Not for me.

So wonderfully soft,
velvety rose petals on dancing powder puffs,
dreamy like photographs by Sarah Moon.
Enchantingly beautiful!

Powdery Rose EdT. Reminds me of "Snow Rose" or "White Rose" by Floris, just softer and powdery with less chill (aldehydes?). Gentle elegance.

An old-fashioned, yet very beautiful powdery-rosy scent that gives a cozy feeling.

Just perfect for snuggling: subtly rosy-floral, soft, creamy. With an '80s vibe, but nothing overwhelming. Like a lovely childhood memory.
