clear fragrance development full of grace
Roses still cast a great spell on me. Especially those embedded in nature and landscape, and simultaneously conceived as "Botanical Gardens"; like Sangerhausen, for example.
Many years ago, in 1980, we vacationed in Baden near Vienna and stayed in a hotel right by the rosarium.
My memory of the hotel is mixed (the thumb points a little down), but I still remember the rosarium as a great source of joy.
At the beginning of June, it was just the time when the "ripeness" of the individual rose varieties and blooms could be wonderfully observed every day. And we did just that every day on our way to the city or during lovely walks through Doblhoffpark.
Just the different bud shapes were fascinating: small, thick and round, very narrow, slender, twisted - nature has many variations in form and color.
The symbol of the rose: widely bloomed, with velvety petals in dark red, perhaps still with a few dew or raindrops sitting like pearls on the plush surface.
All that’s missing is the young knight on the white horse adorned with a saddlecloth, who is gazing longingly at this rose. Because of course, a shy young lady had handed it to him!
An image straight out of a medieval stained glass window or book!
And surely the young man will sing beneath her window at night!
This rose, which can be classified as sensual and even erotic, is not found in "Rosa Moceniga" by "The Merchant of Venice".
My image of this rose fragrance, for it also paints pictures, is truly dominated here by the company's photo: the last curve of the Canal Grande, completely covered with blooming pink roses!
At the end of the canal, of course, you can see the church of Santa Maria della Salute and the Dogana in their always impressive beauty!
(Advertising does indeed have a strong influence!)
"Rosa Moceniga" carries the finer, yet not less valuable pink rose in its scent.
Blooms of almost perfect shape, a harmony in scent, form, and color is offered here.
And right from the first acquaintance, this fragrant beauty reveals itself: like a pretty young woman, almost still a girl! A certain innocence accompanies this rose fragrance.
Bergamot fits excellently with it, and the slightly bitter-green nuance of the currant leaf is cleverly chosen.
(How often did I chew on these leaves as a child? Don’t ask me why: probably "just because"!)
This entrée leads to the stronger rose aroma; it is more than just a hint of rose - the power of the scent gives a very airy creation a bit of earthly weight.
That’s a good thing! Magnolia and also lotus are quite ethereal scent spirits, so well do they fit here!
They are somewhat captured and bound in the scent progression before another blooming rose bush emerges from a lively mixture of musk, golden amber, and warm sensual vanilla!
Rose scent and amber glow, adorned with slightly erotic vanilla and musk, are rounded off by woody cedar spice.
A beautiful scent finale that is certainly not spectacular, but very, very graceful and feminine.
Every woman who enjoys softer rose fragrances will delight in this composition by the Venetian perfumers I love so much.
They have created a charming bouquet that will surely be classified as "mainstream" again. But why not?
Even though my rose-affine time has passed, I still enjoy this beautiful, light-footed rose fragrance, which does not evoke thoughts of half-closed "bedroom eyes" and sensual lips!
Perhaps that’s what I particularly like about "Rosa Moceniga"!
Of course, the longevity is once again only "Venetia like": we know that by now, and with these flacons, re-spraying, just through contact with the glass, is a pleasure!
For this flacon is, as always with "The Merchant of Venice", a dream made of Murano glass.
With its Art Deco-inspired rose motif, it appears fragile and very delicate - indeed thoroughly feminine!
It embodies the femininity of perhaps even a sporty young woman; the "Odalisque" is left out here.
For me, "Rosa Moceniga" is a fragrance that tells a little story and nourishes the ever-present longing for Venice.
That is certainly one of the reasons why I appreciate most of the scent creations from this company and am more tolerant towards them than some neutral testers among us.
In any case, it was worth getting to know this rose, even though it comes across as a bit too young and too dance-like for me.
For known reasons, namely my now accumulated years of life, I have since kept my distance from rose fragrances. We no longer quite correspond.
But that does not mean that I do not appreciate a rose fragrance like this one!
It is a pleasant companion through day and night.
And without trying to stand out particularly, the rosy hint is indeed present on its wearer:
she remains memorable.
A "Rose Cup" goes to the creator of this fragrance experience from me!
(Hopefully, he won’t fill it with water from the Canal Grande.)
