Children of the night, let's pick some roses...
The black sheep of the 'Absolue les parfums' range in terms of flacon design does not wrap itself in cheerful candy colors like its siblings, no, smoky gray spoils in advance that we are probably not dealing with a fresh and cheerful rose fragrance here.
'From the dark' - how fitting, as I'm sitting in my completely darkened room against the heat. Perhaps not the best conditions in terms of temperature, but we'll see. Buffy and her demons, that's not a rose! That's the salesman in the restaurant with two arms full of "Wolluuuu buy a rose?"!
Rose! Lots of roses! Dark, thick, opulent rose! Spread out in bags on the dark wooden table. An incense stick cokes somewhere in the background. Aromatically dense, warmly spicy. Get me Lucifer, there's no incense or anything like that in there? Well at least not listed, doesn't mean anything...
Compared to the also relatively recently released Taif Rose, the Lancome is completely (!) unsweet, but has the same rose opulence. And the Lancome roses are more beautiful/realistic.
I'm not usually a big fan of heavy or oriental rose fragrances, so I would only wear this rose when I go out or in the evening or in the darker months of the year. However, the fragrance also works in the heat/ in summer - but please not in combination with high humidity but rather in dry, hot areas! And perhaps rather after sunset, nomen est omen!
Tremor finger sprayers need to be careful, less is more. Here, one spray was enough to scent the entire room, any more and the whole thing threatens to turn into sweet death 'in the name of the rose' in closed rooms. The child of the night also lasts at least from Dusk till Dawn, whereby after 2 hours almost only woody amber remains (or I no longer smell the roses, I don't want to rule that out).
