Sunny Garden - Peach Novae Plus 2011

A sigh

Bad fate,
that heavenly wrath
has given every rose its thorn;
But worse,
that the rose has withered,
and still
the thorn pricks the heart.

(Friedrich Rückert, 16.5.1788-31.1.1866)

The bottle is truly an eye-catcher *glitter-bling-bling*
As for the content, I'm not so sure. Although the longevity - at least for me - is really lacking.
.
I smell an overwhelmingly powerful rose shower right after spraying, so much so that it couldn't get any better.
I have to close my eyes and breathe in and out - exactly at the spot where I sprayed - just to be able to detect any other fragrance notes.
Well, the blackcurrant is briefly noticeable with its sour note, the grapefruit... hmm, not really.
Lily of the valley joins the rose and stays.
Unfortunately, I don't smell sandalwood or vanilla at all, which might have softened the piercing, booming rose scent a bit.
Jasmine, lily, and musk seem to be listed only in the fragrance notes. Unfortunately, I can't detect them.
.
Longevity is phenomenally short, and absolutely nothing remains.... but really nothing, except for a tiny whiff of something. Unremarkable, nothing noticeable, just nothing...
