Classic Rosy Chypre
Les Parfums de Rosine ROSE D'AMOUR rolls a cluster of super-classic notes into one very classic-smelling chypre rose perfume. I suspect that ROSE D'AMOUR may elicit charges of old ladyishness from younger wearers. This is not, I repeat NOT a modern chypre featuring sweet patchouli, as that term has come to imply in recent times.
No, the opening of this creation features a brisk slap of aldehydes, and then the fun really begins: galbanum, soapy iris, oakmoss: they've all been invited to this celebration of Rosine's OCD fetish note: rose. Yes, as far as florals are concerned, rose really is the bottom line as usual with every creation from this house.
As someone who truly appreciates galbanum, soapy iris, and oak moss, I find the drydown of this perfume quite nice. I'm less enthused by the opening, as I find the aldehydes a bit jarring at times (I've worn ROSE D'AMOUR now a few times), but overall I do find this composition to be a worthwhile journey back into the past when many perfumes featured galbanum, soapy iris, oakmoss, and aldehydes all in one action-packed perfume.
Very classic, this perfume is not really intended for the cutting-edge set. This is not a rose-saffron-oud or a rose-vanilla patchouli perfume. Far from it, in fact!
