Velvet Rose & Oud Jo Malone 2012 Cologne Intense

How I came to this cologne Intense, I still know exactly. Nachedem me a Tinder date has given the recommendation fragrances from
the house of Jo Malone to test I ran a few days later by chance over the Hackescher market. There you can find in the
Rosenthaler Street a concept store of the perfumer. I grabbed a tester and walked further in the direction of Neue Schönhauser.
Constantly I had to smell this tester. I was immediately under the spell and ran or floated as if on - fragrance clouds.

The scent is quite simple. A rich damask rose that immediately conquers the nose with its full, rich aroma and does not let go.
Another rose fragrance?
What cannot be overstated is how classy this rose is. I have never smelled such a quality!
On me it has a touching effect, cools me down and conjures
a gentle smile on my face. The strong, lovely rose dominates the experience from the opening to the end. Where the end is not reached before 6 hours
is. Also, the fragrance wants to be discreetly applied, otherwise it takes up too much space. 1,2, maximum 3 sprays are already enough, although you actually want to bathe in it.

Shortly after the strong opening, the oud begins to play with the rose. Bright, sweet and fine. After a few hours leaves with me the rose
decreases and the oud comes out more clearly. The play of the two notes changes, but continues.

The praline certainly adds to the sweet gourmandness of the rose. The clove announces itself only here and there, I take
they do not consciously perceive.

I love this fragrance for being so full, clear and classy. Its directness and simplicity is what makes it stand out. Have added it to my small collection, but wear it only
very rarely. It is fragrance that I love to smell, but not necessarily on me. He is clearly too feminine for me.
In my opinion, however, he can also not wear every woman. Such a simple,
but refined fragrance fits a multi-layered woman. Nothing for my Tinder date.
