With a name like "Hollyrose" I was expecting something soft, floral, and sweet. But this "Hollyrose" is a tough chick! For me, the opening is a blast of new suede. It is very close to a "new car" smell to me.
The rose is there but it takes a bit of drying down to really perceive it. I don't even want to call this one a floral at all. I also smell something fresh and green in the mix. Maybe a hint of lemon? The whole combination is a rubbery, chemical smell. I can't say I want to wear it myself, but I can see the appeal.
Like scentwitch says, it's "edgy." I don't enjoy it personally, but it might fit your personality. I imagine it on a woman with short hair and tattoos, who wears leather jackets and ripped jeans and rides a motorcycle. Come to think of it,
this is exactly how I imagine Ruby Rose (actress) would smell.
