Sugary sweet roses and spices scent!
Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper 25 was never on my list to try, but since it came with the Kayali discovery set, I was curious to try it out, although I was wary of the rose note. I often dislike roses since they're over-used in body, hair and skin care. They're either too young and often synthetic or too mature and powdery (I dislike powdery notes). Nonetheless, I have never given up hope on finding a good authentic rose fragrance because it's a beautiful feminine flower and, as a flower, it gives of a wonderful scent.
When I tried out the Kayali discovery set, I was only at the beginning of my journey and so my nose was not yet accustomed to all those notes and accords that exist. SDPP piqued my interest because I could smell a sweet and sugary rose with a hint of pepper in the background. I was ready to bite the bullet for a full bottle when I detected a strange accord when bringing the perfume to my nose. There was this metallic undertone underneath all the rose, sugar and pepper. I decided to write it off and forgot about it until I had tried every scent in the set. It was now time to finish all my sampler vials and I found myself reaching for this one a lot which led me to buying a 10ml mini bottle to test it out further.
Now that I have a bit more experience with perfumes, I can write a better review of this one. I realized the culprits for the metallic zing was probably the pepper and the saffron. The latter does take a lot of place in the top notes. As time passes, saffron ends up imparting a spicy, peppery metallic accord while giving a nice place for the syrupy roses to shine. Magnolia and vanilla orchid enhance the sugary sweetness. The base notes end up giving everything a grounded, earthy scent. It never becomes too cloying, too sweet. It's feminine, uplifting, energetic and as long as I don't bring my nose right up to my skin, the metallic scent stays undetected. It's a nice interpretation of spicy and sirupy roses. I will probably end up getting a full bottle once I finish my 10ml since the fragrance has grown on me.
