Rose, change yourself!
That I would end up with roses ... If it were up to me, it would be raining them right now. I assume this is a form of spring feeling.

When I got my hands on "Rose d'Argent," I was very curious. Although this fragrance unfortunately loses momentum significantly towards the end of the all-day test, I can't help but give it a good rating due to its brilliant top and heart notes. Because in my opinion, they are truly an experience!

It starts off with pure and completely non-citrusy freshness. Although I despise everything related to licorice, ouzo, and anise cookies, I find the green form of anise - whatever green anise is supposed to be - very intriguing. (Google says it's a mushroom. That would be an explanation.) But whatever it is, it is definitely green. Alive. Pepper and geraniums only play a minor role in the background.

Soon the fragrance development shifts - a juicy bouquet of mint and rose, and I'm right in the middle of it! Delightfully refreshing, completely natural. and therefore my favorite phase. Such an experience was new for me. Ah!

I perceive the silver rose up to that point as wild and captivating. Not at all like one would imagine a flower standing there quietly and prettily. No, this lady was very active! Therefore, I even feared I would have to add this fragrance to my wish list, which would have been terrible since it is no longer available ...

Fortunately - I really have to say this - I do not like the base note at all. The delicious freshness tips over into an almost numbing heaviness that I can hardly endure. My scarf, which probably got a bit of perfume on it, had to be thrown into the washing machine immediately. I almost suspected the innocent patchouli this time. The spoiled side of the rose? I will keep an eye on it.

Silver Rose in Reality
As a child, I often went on trips to the Czech Republic with my school. One of those trips was to Karlovy Vary - known in German as Karlsbad. In Karlsbad, there are mineral springs through which flowers can be petrified - this was demonstrated to us very impressively. I also held a petrified rose in my hand. These roses were then coated with a silver layer and sold. That was my first encounter with a silver rose.

The silver rose we are discussing today comes in a bottle, and this rose is quite different from all 14 Les Parfums de Rosine fragrances that I own. It is not only fresh but also quite peppery. Freshly ground pepper emits a slightly bitter, green, clear, and mildly spicy scent. Imagine this scent first with a lightly citrus-tinged geranium and later with rose absolute and Turkish rose! A delight!

For comparison, I applied Clair Matin on the other arm - which is much softer and gentler after a short time than Rose d'Argent. None of the Rosine roses has this persistent fresh note that Rose d'Argent possesses. It is very appealing that the green, beautiful pepper note plays along with the roses all the way to the base. It almost has a minty quality, without actually emitting a mint scent. It simply feels cool.

In the base, a bit more depth is created by the angelica and ambrette seeds, but in the scent itself, the two play no role. The roses with the pepper note still dominate here.

I use this scent relatively rarely. It is a special edition from Les Parfums de Rosine and has not been available for quite some time. Only with a lot of luck was I able to acquire a bottle from a private seller earlier this year (*proud look*).

Rose d'Argent has a wonderful projection and the longevity leaves nothing to be desired. Although labeled as a feminine scent, I find this rose quite wearable for the male faction as well. It comes quite close to "Rosissimo," without having its leathery-balsamic base. To be honest, I find it very, very unfortunate that this rose was only a special edition and did not become part of the standard program. But who knows...

As a child, I had a Barbie with her own perfume. Rose scent. A whiff of this artificial stuff catapults me right back there. Piercing.

Typical zesty geranium dominates the roses, anise + pepper add some "pep," ambrette + angelica balance with creaminess + bitterness.
