L'Esprit Cologne - Kâshân Rose The Different Company 2013

This is a second rose perfume I tried from The Different Company. The first one, Rose Poivree, was unusual and interesting, but unfortunately it did not work for me. Kashan Rose is quite opposite. It is certainly a nice and very pleasant scent to wear, but at the same time there is nothing new or unusual here. I thought that Kashan rose would be an exotic oriental beauty but this rose is a sweet and good-natured girl next door – nothing exotic but very sunny, happy and charming.

The scent opens with a lovely combo of rose, lychee and peony. It smells pleasant and fresh. I thought that there was also a bit of sparkly citrus in it at first. The scent is just simply pretty and happy. Thankfully, it does not smell synthetic like many modern scents with this combo. As the scent develops, the rose becomes stronger. A little bit of hawthorn is a nice touch. The scent stays close to the skin towards the dry down. The dry down is a light rose and sandalwood.

This one I think is a crowd-pleaser. It is light and pretty and could easily be worn as everyday scent for work and leisure. And though I did not find this scent groundbreaking, I enjoyed a lot wearing it. Overall score 8/10.
