Quite possibly the best fresh rose fragrance in my collection
I first bought this blindly, as a 10 ml sample on one of the Perfume aficionados groups. I was looking for the a perfect rose that’s subtle enough to wear to the office but special to be a statement perfume to wear for an upcoming interview. Sure enough, it’s arrived and I wore it on a very hot day in Germany. I kept getting wafts of it all day, but felt it was too weak at the time to justify the price tag. Few days later, I could still smell it on my watch strap and I had to revisit my sample and surely enough I fell in love.
I cannot pick any of the notes, to my nose I smell fresh rose. It’s fresh with a citrusy opening, light and airy and kind of soapy clean at the end most likely it’s the presence of musk. I’ve checked various websites and it is actually a very complex fragrance with loads of notes that are hard for me to pick up as rose seems to be the most prominent and lingers throughout the wearing of the perfume. I got a full bottle and was going through it at great pace, I now have a backup bottle too. I cannot comment on the price tag, it’s of course expensive. Is it worth it? Well that’s very tricky question. How do we decide if a fragrance is worth the price tag? Are there other rose frags in the same category? I’m still looking, and I think Bvlgari le gemme desiria might be in the same ball park for half the price.
Price aside, it’s a beautiful chypre worth a try.
