Highness Rose
In the bottle and on my skin, by far, the most breathtakingly beautiful rose soliflore I have ever encountered.
I have never experienced a rose so fresh, so pure, and yet so incredibly rich, deep, and heady. It's a gloriously intoxicating shower of roses dream. Everything I've ever dreamed of having in a soliflore rose blooms to extravagant perfection here. EVERYTHING! From bottle, to initial spray, to complete drydown, this is magnificent. I even love this just sniffing away at the bottle cap a la aromatherapy. I ADORE it on my skin. The base is also a smooth, rich, elegant mix of woods with a touch of incense. Still, the rose reigns supreme here from opening to drydown without any medicinal hospital antiseptic accords or rubbishy wilting chemical petal accords. No sickeningly sweet candy, vanilla, or other infantile sugar to sully this magnificent creation. The natural moderate sweetness derives from the very high quality of the rose extracts here. It is unique as far as rose scents go. There are dozens and dozens of rose scents out there. Fresh ones, clean ones, dark ones, spicy ones, oud ones, orientals, woody ones, and so on. This particular perfume has THE BEST rose absolute in it......of ALL OF THEM that I have smelled. I'm not saying it's the best perfume because we all have different chemistries and different tastes. I do feel confident in stating that to my nose, the quality of the rose absolute itself in this one is the best I've ever smelled regardless of what TYPE of fragrance you prefer. You can even detect the quality of it from just smelling the bottle top before spraying it on your skin. So, to clarify, I am making the comment regarding the particular quality of the rose absolute itself outside of what it smells like on my skin. (I happen to insanely love how it smells on my skin as well.)
This lasts about 8 hours on the skin and is a parfum extrait. This is not a shy EDT or EDP. As far as I'm concerned, no other rose soliflore even comes close.
If you truly love roses, this could easily be your holy grail of rose soliflores. Without question, it has become mine.
Pierre Montale, you have my heartfelt gratitude for this creation, thank you.
