Rose de Siwa Parfums MDCI 2006

The "Rose de Siwa", the desert - no, oasis rose, contradicts the poetry album: it is not a "proud rose that always wants to be admired," but rather a delicate, modest, very natural little flower, to which the lychee adds a touch of liveliness. Thanks to my favorite perfumery, I have obtained a generous sample of this fragrance and I appreciate it very much for its delicacy and sweetness.

I will not purchase the large bottle for two reasons: firstly, after one or two hours on my skin, there is nothing left of the rose, and shortly thereafter the entire fragrance has vanished like a drop of water in the desert sun. Secondly, as the Swabian in me says, such a delicate, natural, and slightly fruity rose has been around many times before - and at a significantly better price-performance ratio.
