oh, no - this premonition!

And I wrote under Geli's comment: ... this could easily "go south"!
My mom would once again groan: "You and your premonitions! How do you do it?"
She often despaired of me, perhaps suspecting that she had brought a kind of witch into the world.

Just last night, I sang the praises of the brand "Shay & Blue" for "White Peaches," unreservedly enjoying the beauty of their fragrances.
That's why I approached "Amber Rose" completely unbiased; even though my great affinity for rose has faded with age.
Now I sit here smelling as if I had generously rubbed myself with rose vinegar!
The first shower unfortunately didn't help much. Let's hope that this vinegar, like all its brothers and many of the fragrances from this brand, will quickly dissipate!

"Amber Rose" opened with an abundance of very dominant roses.
I thought: Well, May roses - they need more strength than their noble summer-blooming siblings to better cope with potential cold snaps of spring!
So, these roses have strength and they are not willing to compromise with this milk-sugar-vanilla cream called Dulce di Leche: on the contrary - this rose scent turns quite sour here!
Even the actually so noble aroma of white amber cannot change that.
My skin seems to be a choreographer whose script this fragrance creature cannot read - it dances to its own rhythm!

It makes me a little sad that my joyful and positive approach is so radically rejected here.
Well, "Amber Rose" and I have significant communication difficulties.
But wouldn't a few small thorns have sufficed to show me that?
No, it has to be vinegar right away, and not in small amounts!
My dear, this fragrance creature is quite sour!

Oh, Geli, I'm so sorry!
Still, thank you very much for letting me try this sample.
I'm sure this fragrance will move on to someone who will be the right partner.
Unfortunately, I am not!

Caress the Rose

"Amber Rose" by Shay & Blue is no wallflower. It is a nice rose perfume. And yet somehow inconspicuous and interchangeable like few others in its subgenre - although it doesn't really do much wrong. In my opinion, it just lacks character and sophistication.

In its worst phases, "Amber Rose" smells like any random celebrity women's fragrance. Bottom shelf quality. In its best phases, almost like niche. The truth probably lies somewhere in the gray no man's land in between. Very little amber, a lot of dewy fresh rose. Spring-like, radiant, bright. Still covered with ice-cold water. Melted snow. Not expensive, not entirely trustworthy for me. But also not a cheapie. In a few minutes, it becomes piercingly synthetic. That shouldn't be the case. Glassy tea. Rose sauna without a fresh infusion. Pink Pantherina, as interesting as a fallen sack of rice in China.

Bottle: dewy fresh turquoise
Sillage: leaves every stone on top of the other
Longevity: transparent 5-6 hours; reapplication is easily affordable here

Conclusion: a natural to unremarkable rose that only goes through enough phases on paper from green to pink to milky-woody. On the skin and in the nose, it only knocks the toughest rose fans off their feet. If at all. Or perhaps just those who are not.

Tender Rose

"Amber Rose" presents itself to me as a gentle, indeed tender, rose fragrance. After a short while, fruity notes and a light sweetness emerge. There is a moment when AR threatens to drift towards cherry lollipop territory, but then a rose with fruity notes asserts itself. In fact, after wearing it several times, I eventually notice a slightly spicy note in the scent progression that I had completely missed before. I attribute this and the fine light-woody note at the end to the white amber.

AR is, in my opinion, an uncomplicated rose fragrance that accompanies pleasantly and leaves a light impression. The longevity is better than I initially expected, lasting 7 - 8 hours (towards the end with the nose on the skin).

Roses as a Spread

Shay & Blue. I actually didn't know the brand until recently, until one of you lovely, but often prickly perfume enthusiasts brought it to my attention. But I can't say who that crazy person was, as she would definitely kill me this time… :D
And no, that's definitely not a joke… :D

Anyway, my first scent from Shay & Blue was quite good (that was Blueberry Musk), so now I'm testing another one that seems to be rather simple according to the fragrance pyramid. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing, right?

Let's see how it smells!

The Scent:

I smell roses that are intense and also quite sweet. In the background, there seems to be a hint of bergamot tea, but it could also be that I just imagined it, as it doesn't last long and disappears again in the top note.
The sweetness becomes creamy-chocolatey, like Dulce de leche, which can really make you crave such a spread! :)
So the scent lingers for a little while, you smell roses and delicious spread :D And there's a certain light freshness in the background.
Unfortunately, this chocolatey spread doesn't last too long, as it quickly becomes weaker. The roses, however, remain and later smell floral-sweet with a light-sweet amber on a woody base. An overall nice scent, which, as mentioned, is simply constructed but smells lovely.

The Sillage and Longevity:

The sillage is moderate and won't be perceptible over long distances. Nevertheless, it radiates quite well for a while until it gradually becomes weaker.
The longevity is rather average, as it lasted just about five to six hours on me.

The Bottle:

The bottle is blue and cylindrical, but it becomes slightly conical towards the neck. The gilded cap is cylindrical on the bottom side and bears the logo or initials of the brand. The top side of the cap is hexagonal, with "Boutique Perfumery" written on it against a blue background. On the front of the bottle, there is a large white label with a golden frame. Overall, I find the bottle quite nicely made.

Hmm, the scent has turned out quite nice. Those who like rose scents might want to check this one out, as the rose is quite dominant and especially because the middle part smells beautifully chocolatey, almost as if you were dipping the roses in chocolate. It's somewhat similar to those chocolate fountains where you can dip bananas, strawberries, etc… hmm… :)

Actually, the scent is quite a nice daytime fragrance, but with a bit better sillage, it could also be good for going out; that might be worth trying, as you could always just reapply if necessary. Since it’s not heavy despite the sweet pleasant notes, it’s suitable for warm days or as an all-rounder for any season.

However, you have to have some self-control with this scent, as either you get a craving and want to scoop out an entire jar of Nutella or something, or you come up with various strange ideas like spraying the scent on a slice of bread, which I definitely would NOT recommend :DD
And no, I have NOT tried this… but I'm sure no one here believes me again, pfff…

Anyway, I find the scent quite nicely done!
Oh, and in case someone doesn't know… roses actually exist as a spread, in various jams or as rose honey, for example… :)

Today I went with friends...

... to Lenzdorf for the Rose Fair. The roses will dazzle you in various colors. The scents are enchanting. There are roses with names like Aachner Dom, Donauprinzessin, Gelber Engel, or Reine Viktoria. And from everywhere, more and more fragrances are coming. Simply fantastic.

When applying this perfume, the first scent that hits your nose is that of roses. This is mixed with the sweetness of dulce de leche, which has a caramel vibe. Now a sugared rose petal comes into the nose. The white amber now adds nuances of vanilla, tobacco, and woods, giving this scent a slight animal touch. The perfumer Julie Massé has created a delicate fragrance here that plays with the rose in such a way that it is suitable not only for ladies but also for gentlemen.

The longevity and sillage are good.

In my opinion, this unisex fragrance is best suited for those aged 25 and up. This scent can be worn on cold days but will truly reveal its strength in warm or hot weather. I see this fragrance more for daytime than for evening. It works well in the office, while shopping, at the gym, or simply in leisure time. For the evening, this scent is too light and delicate to stand out against stronger perfumes.

Those who enjoy a rose caramel lightly animalic scent will find a good match here with the British brand Shay & Blue London.
