Not even the sun smiles

.. at this performance that is being offered here.
Rather, tears of the sun are to be expected, out of sheer disappointment.
Unfortunately, the name doesn't seem to be very well chosen.
I would have wished for all possible spheres of happiness, especially if it is supposed to go through the sun. A feeling of summer, of carefreeness. But that is not the case.

What I expect here is only one thing:
A rose that wreaks havoc through green meadows with a baseball bat. The rose is very much in a rebellious mood. It also hangs particularly heavy in the scent, without spreading even a hint of a pleasant touch. It tickles uncomfortably under the nose, the thorns seem to penetrate deeply into the skin. I am known not to be an excessive fan of rose, but I can still tolerate it well from time to time, yet here it is really too much of a good thing, especially since it remains very dominant from start to finish, while being clearly inappropriate and completely unbalanced in the scent. The citrus note is just banal, almost boring. However, it doesn't really come to the fore because of the rose. I can't pick out the other components either. For me, it is actually just soapy, with something synthetic about it. No progression or major developments. The longevity and sillage are particularly poor for me, but that doesn't make me particularly unhappy.

For rose lovers, it might be something, but I think there are definitely better fragrances in this category. You haven't missed anything here.

Thanks for the warning. That one costs a pretty penny. And for such a cheap carnival rose scent. Or did I get that wrong? How do you even come up with these exotic ones?

Rose can smell great, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Be glad if such an unwanted scent doesn't last too long.
