Rhubarb Spritzer in the Rose Garden

Oriental Essence - Rose de Shiraz starts off quite sweet, but that fades relatively quickly and a more pleasant sweetness combines beautifully with very nice tart rhubarb notes. Fresh, sugared roses join in.
The rhubarb is the absolute star here, and that's a good thing. If it weren't for those lovely tart notes that temper the sweetness a bit, it would be too generic for me.

A very beautiful, feminine spring/summer fragrance.
I envision it worn at a picnic in a quiet park, surrounded by lots of flowers, the gentle sound of water from a fountain, a lemon cake, plenty of fruit, and a good book in front of me.

S/H could be better; unfortunately, the lovely tart rhubarb notes don't come through well in the sillage, as the sweet rose tends to dominate.
P/L is fine.
