A rose done the SHL way…
I’ve had this one sitting for nearly 2 years and rarely have decided to wear this minimally given the 50 ml size. Something about SHL makes me want to both bathe in his frags but because I love them so much, use them very sparingly so I never run out. Immediate thought when spraying - a rose done the SHL way. I’m immediately struck by this having a very Stéphane Humbert Lucas DNA scent profile.
The rose is quite prominent to my nose in the first 15 minutes or so and then the lychee and pomegranate seem to lighten the rose up quite a bit while the DNA of SHL just sits marvelously. Within about 30-45 minutes this makes the rose very sweet smelling yet quite unisex to my nose. As a burly guy, I question why it is I haven’t gone to this more frequently before remembering how special it is to me and thus why I want to use sparingly. Almost makes me wish there had been 100 ml options for frags other than Isra & Miraj and Soleil de Jeddah when this entered my collection in 2020. At about an hour I begin to sense cardamom, pepper, and cumin in the base making this fragrance just special. This and Epic woman, which I also find quite unisex are my 2 absolute fave rose forward frags. I don’t know yet if one should sit higher up on a list of fave roses or if they’re equals to my nose, but one thing is certain, I wish this was a 100 ml so I’d feel better at freely spraying it with greater frequency. Another gem from the SHL collection!
