Rose Roger & Gallet 2007 Eau Parfumée

My recently discovered love for rose scents is not reciprocated here. And I was so looking forward to it....
Roger & Gallet's Rose definitely comes across as fruity; the mandarin is not discernible as such, but the top note clearly leans towards the citrus side.
Desperately, I wait for the rose to reveal itself. Nope, not in the mood today. At least not on my skin. A nice floral accord does emerge, but no rose in sight. Or should the Nepal rose smell so unrosy? One never knows.
There are white flowers, without a doubt, underpinned by light amber. I also cannot directly identify the almond note, perhaps through a slight sweet undertone in the dry down. But only very faintly.

Conclusion: a pleasant, very light pleasure, whose name slightly irritates me. However, aside from that, rose can be worn well during the day. Don't forget to reapply, very fleeting.
