Stunning Stuffy Surprise

This came as a free sample with an order, so I wasn’t expecting what happened when I sprayed it on my wrist. A milky stream ran down my arm, followed by a truly unique and delightful waft of earthy rose beauty up my nose.

Not believing it, I sniffed again. Whoa! Beautiful! No immeditate breathing problems or stuffy nose or urge to sneeze.

What IS this? I think I smell saffron, balsam, tonka supporting one of the most beautiful roses ever! Looking up the notes … yes, saffron and cardoman and two citrus mesmerizers in the top. (Please, nose, don’t close). À succulent Damascene rose and Iris in the heart.

Oh, shucks, there’s something synthetic here! Is it a deal breaker? (Maybe not. I can still breathe.)

Two aromatic woods and fragrant Tolu balsam in the base support this composition.

Unfortunately, for me, the verdict is mixed. The scent is wildly beautiful, but so far I do have trouble from whatever synthetics are here. What a shame! I feel like getting on my knees and begging this perfumer to double the price, if need be, but to please make a breathable version of this lovely, lovely rose!

In case this is a fluke, I’ll try it again another day. If synthetics don’t bother you and you love rose, fly to test this or even blind buy.
