a smooth, flat, lightly fruity rose
I prefer this to Brosseau's Ombre Rose I just can't get past the dusty, musty opening of that.
This is rosy. Smooth. Sweet, jammy and fruity. Not powdery. Not sparkling. Lighter than Lanvin's Rumeur To Rose which I find heavy and flat and spiced (but good). Lighter and fruitier than Molinard's Rose which portrays itself as a powerful honeyed tea rose, almost a rose oil with carnation or clove. Not luscious and dreamy like Stella, or dripping wet and green like Annick Goutal's Ce Soir Au Jamais. Not pipingly shy and sweet like Yardley's English Rose. Not dark and thorny like Rose Noir by Giorgio Valenti. Not just rosy and ambery like D & G Rose The One. Is evocative of Baby Doll or Bright Crystal in its fruitiness. Did you guess I love roses?
I've enjoyed the bottle but the trail is too light for me to want to replace. If I had to buy another Brosseau scent, I much prefer his Violette-Menth.
