Fruity champagne rose, more mixer than booze. Barbie sangria. I can’t even pretend to smell any woody notes. The fruitiness comes across as a peach-berry cocktail to my nose, similar to Régime des Fleurs’s Crushed Fruits, which also does a playful candy sangria. The vessel, especially with that Evanescence-esque font, had me hoping for a vampy y2k blood-wine, but she is more Charlotte Russe than Hot Topic. I shouldn’t complain, as Dom Rosa is a fun, femme rose with a super wearable rosé splash. But I feel she's something you could easily find in a Valentine’s Day body mist at Victoria’s Secret. And c’mon, you can’t put out an “Eau Sanguine” line and then fail to give her any gothic bite!
Mental Snapshot: Halloween 2004. Seventh grade. The first year you don’t go trick-or-treating. One of the almost-popular girls has you over for a sleepover. (Don’t worry, her rents are chill. And they’ve got an Xbox). You’re dressed as a Hex Girl. Y’know, from Scooby Doo? After a wild night of Dance Dance Revolution you both sneak into the garage and steal your first sip of alcohol. You're too nervous to know if you like it or not. (It’s from a baby-pink bottle of her mom’s prosecco). You are now officially popular.
tl;dr: ~ * rosé is the new black * ~
