A Successful Child
I never paid much attention in biology (our teacher was terrible), but I still remember that genes distribute differently among potential offspring, and you never know which child will inherit whose eye color.

Here I imagine that Mama Roses Musk Eau de Parfum passed her essence on to her daughter, but slightly softened by the airiness and skin closeness of the "father" Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne. So to speak, "Rosy Musk & Sea Salt". She was naturally named after her mother as the first daughter, but she has developed differently than expected, namely not so rosy at all.

Upon closer inspection, one can also see a familial resemblance to the maternal cousin, Lazy Sunday Morning Eau de Toilette, who also loves fresh laundry, and to the other cousin L'Eau Papier Eau de Toilette, who also possesses that wonderful skin note.

For those who find the mother too much and the father too little, or who like the cousin and would only change a bit, "Rosie (Eau de Parfum) | By / Rosie Jane" will surely bring happiness.
By the way, it lasts relatively long on me at least.

I Still Need to Find the "Secret Charm" of This Fragrance
After Parfumo described this fragrance as similar to my favorite Secret Charm, I ordered the travel size blindly on sale. Full of anticipation (I love pear notes and musk), I immediately opened the bottle when the delivery arrived. Sprayed and... disappointment.
A harsh scent like that of an aftershave, nothing unisex or even sweet-floral. I hope my husband doesn’t suspect me of having a secret admirer when he comes home...

Fresh Rose
I bought this fragrance when I was still living in Japan. It is a fresh, light rose that starts off fruity. I don't smell much musk - on me, it remains rosy until the end.
Jill Stuart is an American brand/designer, but her cosmetics seem to be particularly popular in Japan/Asia, as the fragrances are very light. In Japan, I only sprayed it once or twice, but here in Europe, I can spray it five times and still smell lighter than some people on the bus.

Unfortunately, not a sufficient substitute for the EdT
This spray smells much more intense and artificial than the Eau de Toilette, and therefore is not suitable as a replacement for it. So be cautious to all who, like me, have tried to replace the EdT with this, as it was unfortunately a flop. However, the penetrating scent lasts longer than the better-smelling EdT...

Caution, body spray smells different!
Since this wonderfully light and fresh scent has unfortunately been discontinued, I ordered the body spray from Notino. Unfortunately, it smells sweeter and more overpowering, not as weightless and freshly showered as the Eau de Toilette. I hope that VS will bring it back - lately, I've often seen re-releases of old scents and have even written to them about it. (I was recommended Mandarin & Honeysuckle as an alternative, but I haven't been able to test that yet.)
