This one surprised me. I was bracing myself for an overwhelming rose-forward scent, but instead I got something soft, delicate, and green - more like a tea rose bush than a bouquet. The rose appears at the very start, light and dewy, and then fades into the background, leaving behind green sap, fig leaf, and what I can only describe as fresh spring shoots in cool morning air.
There’s a watery, garden-fresh feel to it, as if you're walking through a garden just before anything blooms, all stems and branches, moist earth and quiet promise. The fig note comes through more as fig wood or twig rather than fruit. The green freshness keeps it grounded and unisex.
Toward the end, the rose makes a gentle return, soft, faint and still dewy. Of all the rose scents I’ve tried, this might be the one I can actually wear. It feels like my kind of rose - quiet, understated, a little melancholic.
Wearability-wise, this fits beautifully into a spring morning or even a gym scent for those who want something fresh, serene, and a touch poetic.
