A unique gourmand rose

With this name, I expected this to be a smokey, darker rose perfume, so I was quite surprised when I smelled it and got a bright pink, sweet and jelly-like rose instead. It's not heavy at all and I don't smell anything burning here!

Brûlure de Rose makes me think of a delicious vanilla cream dessert infused with rose water, adorned with raspberries, a light dusting of cacao powder and some extra rose jelly. It's soft, sweet and dewy; gourmand, but not overwhelmingly realistic.
There is one little note that might be supposed to be the metallic, burning aspect in this, but it smells just like cloves to me. It stands out from the other, more delicate notes, in the same pleasant way a dash of spice in a sweet treat would.
Thankfully I don't get the green leaves note at all.

I see that this gets compared to a lot of other rose fragrances, which makes sense as there are so many of them and rose is such a distinctive note. But to my nose, this is not really similar to any other rose perfume. The blend of transparent, fruity rose jelly, creamy, vanillic amber and a hint of spiciness is quite unique and beautiful.

White Chocolate and Musk

Another modern formula where I don't get any of the notes in the pyramid.

To my nose this smells like caramel with gushings of musk. Maybe like the smell on the hands after breaking up large bars of white chocolate to make some icing, and musk.

At a push I could say white chocolate with little raspberry bits in it, and musk.

It also reminds me of Palmer's Cocoa Butter cream and is of that level of complexity and strength.

Very sweet, pleasant, but I was looking for a rose perfume so not for me

sweeter than sugar

Tooooo sweet for me. It's like Pink Sugar plus roses. The fake vanilla (a similar note to the one that I dislike in many Comptoir Sud Pacifiques) runs over the roses on my skin, as does the cocoa. Not for me. (051209)

Roses and chocolate salad

Hello fragrance sniffers and welcome to my new commentary. Today I describe "13 Brûlure de Rose" by Pierre Guillaume. As you can already guess, the fragrance is supposed to be about roses. The fragrance is supposed to smell different than conventional rose fragrances and is supposed to appeal especially to those who want to have "different smelling" rose fragrances under their nose. Because Brûlure de Rose is supposed to be a bit smokier, and is also supposed to caress the nose with sweet scents like amber and especially cocoa/chocolate. Sure, those are all good combinations, especially for you ladies, right? I mean, you like roses anyway, even if it sounds cliché, and you're crazy about chocolate anyway, even if it sounds paradoxical, because don't you always want to eat something healthy like... SALAD? Yeah yeah, ordering salad for lunch and dinner and raiding the chocolate drawer late at night... how about a chocolate salad instead? That would be the perfect food for you guys, right? :D
So nice with different chunks of chocolate in it, so milk chocolate, cocoa chocolate, dark chocolate, some white chocolate, and pouring it all over nicely with some gooey Nutella, as a dressing so to speak! HA! Your mouths are already watering now, aren't they? He he, but I guess I'm rambling, so I'll get to the scent! :)

The scent:

The fragrance starts strongest with roses, which come across sweet and slightly acidic, but also quite powdery here. Only a few moments later, you also know why the fragrance starts so powdery and sweet, because quickly acts a vanilla (at least it should be vanilla, it is not specified here), which radiates with the rose quite nice. As for chocolate or cocoa, I do not smell these so far, for that I smell next to the vanilla rather more amber out, which also smells very nice.
In the background, you could definitely perceive the specified raspberries, but actually only if you also know that raspberries should be in the fragrance. Is probably a little psychological, the whole thing. Otherwise, it remains mostly powdery, slightly floral-sour and sweet with roses and vanilla.
It's only after a while that I notice a slightly chocolaty scent, this happens mostly when the rose tones down a bit.
Then in the base the scent smells a bit sweeter, the floral scents become paler (including the rose) and you smell more musk and cocoa type scents (although not particularly strong), along with a nice slightly woody base. Oh and smoky was the fragrance for me now not.

The sillage and the durability:

The sillage is quite okay, no firecracker, but weak he is also not so much, so that you can smell the fragrance safely for a while at one, if she is not too far away. From the durability I would specify here at least eight hours, actually even significantly more (but then just with an even lower sillage).

The flacon:

The bottle is rectangular and rather simple failed. One sees on the front the familiar, round label, which is black and on which the number and the name of the fragrance can be seen. The lid is also black and cylindrical. All quite okay, but not insanely spectacular.

Conclusion:

So Brûlure de Rose is quite a nice fragrance that smells intensely of roses, especially at the beginning and in the middle part, but then also begins to smell more like vanilla and amber. With its slightly powdery vibe, it also comes across as nice and soft, which could make it appealing to most. Thus, it is in my opinion already worth a look, but you have to like roses in fragrances, even if these do not come across here because of the other fragrance notes as pure rose fragrances.

It's good for going out or for the evening and could be worn in spring as well as autumn/winter. Or even when eating chocolate :D

So, that's it actually already. And... are you actually still there? Or could you drooling simply not resist and have now plundered your chocolate supplies based on the description of my idea of a chocolate salad? :D
If it's like that, however, I'm NOT to blame, nevertheless I wish you in that case a good appetite, he he :D

With that I come to an end and wish you a nice evening, then until next time, see you :)
