I’m very particular about my rose fragrances: it has to be the perfect fresh green rose, maybe a hint of lemon. Most other rose perfumes smell like potpourri and headaches to my nose, but this is in a whole other category. A jammy rose is present, but she shares the stage so beautifully with the nutty black sesame that they almost feel like a single note. The yuzu on me is pretty soft and I think the peony just adds a little lift: I dont ever detect more than a whiff of smoky notes. The whole composition is warm, nutty, and floral sweet; it’s like nothing else in my collection and I love it.

    I have the same issue with most rose fragrances. I am on the lookout for a good rose perfume that is as rose-y as vera wang Truly Pink was. Can you recommend one?

      I only have a few other than this one! I like Snif’s Rose Era (like rose and soap bubbles), Diptyque’s Eau Rose, and Guerlain’s Rosa Verde. I know the last one has mixed reviews but I think it’s magical

      Thank you! Rosa Verde is on my wishlist to try!
