Rosy soul balm
Let me start by saying that until a few days ago, rose and I had been on an absolute war footing for years. As soon as I read rose in a fragrance pyramid - regardless of whether it was in the top, heart or base note - the scent was out for me. I honestly don't quite know why, but I think at some point I had a stale, old-fashioned rose fragrance under my nose and it somehow had such a negative impact on my sense of smell that I never wanted to smell rose again.
But then this fragrance came along and completely threw a spanner in the works, and now I question pretty much every fragrance with rose that I've spurned in the past for that one reason.
The top note of the fragrance opens with a sweet, fruity lychee, which is joined by a fresh, tangy bergamot. The pink pepper resonates more in the background, but rounds off the whole thing with a slightly spicy, tangy note. In any case, it tones down the citrusy bergamot somewhat and brings the fruity lychee more to the fore.
For me, the heart note transforms the perfume into an absolute cuddly and feel-good fragrance. This is where the wonderfully gentle interplay of peony, Turkish rose and magnolia unfolds. It makes me feel like I'm wrapped in a cozy, rosy cloud of fragrance. Absolutely not intrusive or overwhelming. Like a breath of fresh spring air. Balm for the soul. I can't really put it into words, but there's something incredibly gentle, soft and calming about it for me. Considering my past with rosy scents, my reaction to the fragrance development here really surprised me.
The drydown of the fragrance is creamy and powdery thanks to the musk, amber and iris. Clean, like freshly laundered bed linen that you want to snuggle up in - there is still a hint of florality, but definitely weaker at the end than in the heart note.
For the small purse, a fragrance that performs like the big ones.
