Hardcore Rose Victoria's Secret 2019 Eau de Parfum

The opening of this fragrance is not good to me (it smells green, almost soapy at first), but wait for about 10 minutes and there it is: delicate, elegant rose backed by a juicy, decadent plum, like sniffing a rose bush someone planted next to a plum orchard. This scent is soft, uber feminine yet isn't very sweet: people who dislike cloying fragrances may enjoy this one. This fragrance is best for women who like to smell feminine yet dislike super sweet scents. When I'm in a girly mood, this and Bombshell Passion are what I reach for.

While not a skin scent, hardcore rose is more of the intimate side which is exactly what I want for a fragrance such as this: present yet not overbearing or screechy. I get about 4-5 hours on my skin. I took points off for the bottle because I dislike opaque bottles, but the scent itself is solid.
