Aniseed, Basil, and Rose. Really.
What an odd combination of notes are presented in Les Parfums de Rosine ZEPHIR DE ROSE, above all: rose, aniseed, and basil. All three are quite evident, though the rose and the basil are more prominent than the aniseed, but it is definitely there too, lurking in the background. I also do believe that I smell the ambrette in this composition, though I haven't been able to identify it in some of the other Rosine rose perfumes in which it is listed as a note.
ZEPHIR DE ROSE doesn't really remind me of a gale of warm wind so much as a kitchen in which fresh chopped basil is sitting on a table next to a bowl of fennel seeds and a bouquet of pink roses. It's an unlikely but not unappealing combination. I have a feeling that the loud rose may be too much for some guys, and the basil too much for some gals. One thing is clear: this is definitely unique among rose perfumes!
