This scent opens strong with the rose note, which remains fairly linear as the fragrance dries down. The projection is quite impressive at the beginning of its evolution. I proceeded to sleep in this fragrance, and by the time I woke up from my nap, it had mostly faded away. While the longevity is quite average, the juiciness of the opening, and the slight tartness that comes from the pomelo and blackcurrant notes, makes this a fun fragrance for me! The rose, while less photorealistic than some other rose fragrances, is recognizable and pleasant without being obviously artificial.
