Pulse of Astana

MCs Hibiscus Mahajad is a beast mode clone of this. If you want a more wearable and less sweet version of the scent. With great longevity but without that knock out punch in your nose, then this is what you want. Does the job in a very elegant manner. I got this at an amazing sale in Qatar. Bang for the buck.

Smells like passing a dewy fresh rose garden on an early autumn morning on the way to work. Quite a lovely fresh scent but doesn't suit me, a bit too tangy and weightless on my skin. Every time I sniff it, it feels like it's trying to escape.

Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan, which among other things has modern and futuristic buildings, seasoned with a bit of decadence, as some of them are not exactly maintained at their best. And here we have a fragrance that shows contemporaneity, with its aquatic and metallic nuances, blended to other natural ones, like the currant and the rose, which permeate the air in the good season. The Rose is very fresh, almost as if it were wet with dew, with the currants making it acidic and slightly fruity, but in evolution it doesn't drive me crazy, I find it too sweetened. The aldehydic notes, unlike what I might have imagined, do not make it airier but they close it. In short, not my rose. “Ascension Forces” painted by Gerardo Dottori

This is a perfect gorgeous wet rose fragrance. It’s a little bit zingy and sharp with the pepper and grass accord but mostly you just get fresh dewy rose petals. Ive been dying to find a frag close to my favorite candle, Nudesse Overose and this is close but warmer with the sweetness from blackberries and woody notes.
