Retro Bridal Bouquet Style
Striking red and white rosebuds blend easily with the white freesias, jasmine stellar, and citrus blossoms in the gorgeous vintage rose bouquet. With deep pink and purple tones, this bouquet makes a wonderful gift for a friend or loved one. Starting from a concept of a fragrance with an adult but vintage nature, in this perfume, one rose after another blends to create its ancient bouquet. To recreate the vintage atmosphere of this bouquet, the master perfumer, or perfumers, might have blended a whole series of roses, including Amnesia, Mentha, Safi, Old Dutch and Majolika varieties. To these queens, white flowers of the lily of the valley, jasmine, and orange are added, and they completed the bouquet with a heavenly smell containing patchouli leaves, some musky grass, and a sprinkling of salt crystals as a finishing touch.
Vintage Rose greets me with an explosion of dark floral arrangements. Besides that flood of flowers, I get a superior, dark, and deep musky rose. It is not an old-fashioned rose, with an outdated or stale flavour, but it is like a high-quality wine, which improves as it ages. There are some camphor shades as if someone had placed the rose stem in an old trunk along with mothballs, which I assume come from the mix of rose petals and patchouli leaves. I let the initial outburst tone down, like the flow of waves continually crashing at the bottom of sweet nothing, and the faintest notes of the neroli rise and merge with the rose, without overpowering or dominating it. It is not a perfume in which citrus flowers predominate. Roses are the queens of this fragrance.
I realize that the perfume enters the heart zone when a bouquet of white flowers oozes and takes the scene. I feel the lily of the valley, a recognizable but tame touch of jasmine, and little or almost imperceptible orange blossom. As I have already said, the fragrance revolves around a rosy skeleton, to which the other ingredients add one by one, but in a volatile and not permanent way. They come, kiss the roses, and they go.
When the perfume reaches its end, the other companions met at the beginning of the journey have left the scene, or have moved into the background. Instead, the clean, creamy nuances of white musk expand, making the rose petals even muskier. A modern and refined patchouli joins this wonderful essence, which gives a touch of contemporary class, anything but ancient. An earthy and mossy vibe remains on the trail a few hours later.
Vintage Rose is a surprise to smell and to wear. Under some viewpoints, it reminds me of a lighter version of Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum, something for the spring and fall seasons, non-offensive for working places. This scent is everything you expect from a fragrance class. It never becomes overwhelming even if sprayed in abundance, but moderate use and possible retouching are all that you need.
I base the review on a 50ml I have owned since May 2022.
