Twangy Black Currant-tinged Rose
I am a big fan of black currant as a note in perfume, in all of its various manifestations. In my experience, it ranges from a sweet, jammy, fruity scent very similar to black currant preserves all the way to a twangy, almost acrid scent which some liken to cat pee but is actually closer to oversteeped black currant tea, it seems to me. (I should perhaps add that I can in fact speak with great authority about the authentic scent of cat pee.) The black currant in Parfums de Rosine ECUME DE ROSE lies much closer to the twangy end of the spectrum, without quite making it to the realm of cat pee.
The black currant leaf in ECUME DE ROSE adds brightness and a touch of bitterness to this rose perfume. I like this combination a lot, and this is one of my favorite creations from the veritable rose perfume parade offered by Les Parfums de Rosine, a house truly obsessed with the rose. There could be worse obsessions, of course, and I don't mind saying that I share this one with them!
ECUME DE ROSE is a fairly simple and somewhat linear composition. It's twangy black currant and rose, and that's about it. So whether one likes this perfume is going to turn entirely on one's predilection for those two notes. They both smell natural here.
