Luce di Rosa

@agonzony - you've epitomised what this site has become. 1) You comment in the "review" section without reviewing the fragrance 2) "No one is asking for" - Where is your market research showing this? How many fragrance houses release fragrances that "people are asking for?" 3) The ADP brand is built nearly ENTIRELY on single-ingredient fragrances. Such a strange comment to make, you clearly dont understand their brand offerings. 4) The number of Noteworthy single ingredient fragrances by ADP is huge. Im not even going to list them here because they have more noteworthy ones that poor ones Anyway, as for the fragrance.... It's a well executed citrus/rose. The rose is very "clean". I describe many oud/rose combos as having a dirty rose note (not in a bad way - just a descriptive term - maybe "heavy" is a better term) but this is a pure and clean rose. The "clean" element is probably helped by cedar and musk The pepper and cardamom adds the spice on the top that stops it being a pure Floral. This means it may appeal to men more than the "rose based fragrance" description would imply. Performance for a citrus is well above average.

Nice rose fragrance with an interesting light woody base. Citruses and pepper (pink and black) are present with the signature ADP citruses fizzing from the top. Not a powerful rose scent, this is more fresh and light. Can be pulled off in high heat or cooler temperatures, so it's very functional. Should be fine for office use. I don't think it's as beautiful as POAL, Rose De Jamal, or Kilian RO so if you're looking for the best of the best, give those a shot first. However, if you're a rose aficionado who wants to wear it in the heat of the summer, I'd say this is a fairly safe option, along with perhaps MFK's rose, which offers some versatility as well. Don't pay retail. This will be resold at bargain prices. ------------------------------------------------------ Scent 72/100

This is such a fresh green aromatic rose. I rarely love rose when it’s accompanied by citrus, typically I find that citrus turns rose bitter and sharp, but this rose smells amazing here. The pepper and cardamom and geranium are really coming together to balance it out and make it ultra fresh and light, and green. This is a spicy watery verdant fragrance. It smells like the season spring embodied. It’s bright and fresh and delicious. It smells like when you pick a leaf off of a tree and rip it open and you get that chlorophyll living leaf smell. <3

Luce di Rosa is the exaltation of a Bulgarian rose, modern and magically fused in citrus Mediterranean notes, bright, clear and shining, joyfully lively and sparkling with black and pink pepper. Temporal olfactory evolution turns towards strong notes of fresh vetiver and enveloping and reassuring notes of precious woods and voluptuous musks. Undoubtedly a fragrance that embodies the brightness and freshness of the summer.

Disclosure: this is a scent I put on everyday in late evening and it’s a joyful rose, so I do recommend. Having said that, there’s a bit in me that wishes it had more rose, and less citrus - without being cloying. But still a strong part of my collection.
