Spring rain
It's a very natural and realistic wild rose with dew on the leaves and a bit of moss, quite green. It gives vibes of nature waking up in the early spring, or maybe after a summer rain. For that reason I only wear it from late winter when spring is already approaching to mid-summer. It's calming and energizing at the same time and helps me stay focused. I don't think it's too mature for anyone who happens to like it. I've asked a few people and no one said they got granny vibes, just fresh and nature like.
To my nose this performs ok. With 3-5 sprays I get whiffs of it for about 6 hours, and it lingers a lot longer on clothes. I'm okay with that, I'm not looking for beast mode when reaching for this kind of scent profile.
A few comparisons: the L'eau a la rose is quite different in my opinion, instead of green it's fruity, and the litchi almost feels screechy on my skin. I don't really care for that one, it's not as realistic and longevity is nonexistent even on clothes. I also sampled Eau Rose edp by Diptyque, which was very different as well - that one smells what I imagine vintage cosmetic products used to smell like, nice but a tiny bit "old". A la Rose is the most natural and clearly has the best longevity out of these three.
