Rosenlust

I love this perfume. It opens kind of green and metallic and in the dry down it becomes warm and rosy. The turkish rose otto in this shines through beautifully. I also get a hint of sweet iris and the honeyed rose absolute. It is light, but I get about 3-4 hours on my skim, if I spray it in my hair, it last longer. The price is high, yes...but I know the costs of a kilo of rose oil, not to mention the iris. Compared to other natural fragrances houses, this one is actually less. Knowing that the ingredients are ethically sourced and that even the alcohol is organic, is really important for me. I can wear this everyday and even mix it with others from this house. Def. full bottle worthy.

It's funny the whole time I thought this was called "Rosen-nut," so I was expecting hazelnut or at least some gourmand, but instead got a blast of tanginess! However, it does settle down and sweeten, which created the effect of some sort of rose-lemon bar :) I was surprised to see nothing but rose on Fragrantica, so I went to their own website... Ingredients: 100% natural extracts of Rose Otto/Turkey, Rose/Bulgaria, Rosewater, Rosewood/Brasilien, Pink Grapefruit/USA, Ambrette Seed, Tonkabean, Orris Root, organic alkohol

I just got into perfumes because I love the scent of roses but couldn't find products I liked with the scent in them. So I'm trying out samples to find one I won't mind sinking the money into to own. I found Rosenlust EDP a bit sweet, which I like, but a bit too dry/powdery. Also after the drydown I smell a menthol type note that I don't like. The smell is giving me a headache. I wanted to love this but it smells too much like those rose scented bath cubes. I like not love.

There is citrus in the top then a pure, grassy, natural rose. It is NOT jammy like Imogen Rose. They are not even similar other than that they both are rose fragrances. NO lasting power at all. Gone in about an hour or two as if not wearing fragrance.

282 Lovely sharp dry tart citrus rose with a slight menthol and slight metallic note(grapefruit?). 8/10-clean rose without musk, soap, sweetness, harsh woods or synthetic fruits.
