The Growth Cycle of a Rose
Joseph Quinn is the new face of Gris Dior and he was quoted saying "I've never smelled anything quite like it before." To me that's just marketing speak, he can't say he hates it, but he probably doesn't know the right terms to describe the fragrance properly. As a fan of his I was curious to try the scent myself. I found a 2ml sample on eBay for a few £ and I bought it.
I went in with low expectations. After wearing the scent for an afternoon I've found I agree with Joseph; I've never smelled any fragrance that does what Gris does before.
Opening with a citrus top that's light and airy and fresh, like a spring sky, the fragrance dries down into an earthy moss - the patchouli and oakmoss. Just when you think it couldn't possibly develop any further it blooms into a gorgeous sparkling rose. Gris really is an olfactory journey, taking the wearer through the growth cycle of the rose from the crisp air to the rain damp earth to the fragrant bloom. It's something entirely magical.
