Rose + Geranium is a tricky one for me.
I have to admit, Masque Milano's roses are kind of challenging for me, but if I had to choose, I'd pick II-IV Kintsugi over this one any day. Geranium is a hard note to like for me, but throw in the ambrette seeds and I really start to feel like I'm walking on eggshells. It's too spicy, this geranium, and it's not a scent that attracts me. And there's just a bit too much rose, too. Not just rose, but like rose water, rose essential oil, like I'm being tossed into a rose syrup, like that Greek-Cypriot dessert, Mahalebi, which is just a reddish-pink pool of sweet rose juice that I could never stomach. It's painful for me.
