I am addicted

The top note completely blew me away the first time - at that moment I hadn't read the description and therefore didn't know what it was that I was smelling... Admittedly, I didn't think of rose - however, once you know, you wonder why you didn't realize it right away - well, that might be because it starts with a 'rose sauna infusion' - that sounds strange, but it smells absolutely wonderful - rosemary and rose harmonize excellently. The scent transforms over time into a rose tea fragrance - first spicy, then sweet - even very sweet, almost liqueur-like - the other components balance this out very well; gradually the sweetness fades and the rose tea is underlined with light wood; I can't exactly determine where the wood impression comes from - maybe from the rose geranium? Not from the incense resin or benzoin - they act quite differently than expected and are much more subtle than one usually knows - they play in the orchestra of scents well before the base, but change nothing about the dominance of the rose.

Conclusion: anyone who likes rose should definitely test this one! The only downside - for an EdP, the longevity is really outrageous - I would say a maximum of 4 hours.

Ich hab mit Rose immer so meine Probleme, den Duft hast du aber schön beschrieben und Sauna-Aufguss klingt auch toll! Behalt ich mal im Hinterkopf..

Da bin ich ganz bei Dir.
Mein bevorzugter Duft zum Faulenzen an einem verregneten Sonntag.
Das Dampfige wirkt irgendwie sauber und einlullend zugleich.
Lediglich die kurze Haltbarkeit kann ich bei mir nicht bestätigen.
