Bulgarian Rose

Turkish Delight in a bottle! I see a lot of people calling Rose Jam by Lush a turkish delight smell, but honestly I feel like this is closer. Sweet, rosey, ever so slightly powdery. I got sent this as a free sample when I ordered some other fragrances from demeter and I LOVE it.

Smells so pretty! I love to layer this on top of Rose Water and Meringue lotion from BBW. Super feminine rose! Def for rose lovers!

Deliciously sweet rose that reminds me of Turkish delight and red rose petals.

I love the smell of fresh roses, but this has a lot more than just that. It smells like rosebushes in the rain, floral and slightly transparent. I tested this side by side with Tea Rose, which starts out sweeter and more like the rose flower itself, but dries down to something very similar. Both are pleasant layering scents, but Bulgarian Rose especially seems like it would benefit from an additional layer. It also does smell very much like a room scent, not in a way that makes it unsuitable for perfume, but it would be a gorgeous linen spray. As others have mentioned, this is extremely short-lived.

I have the roller ball. It's a very clean, fresh Bulgarian rose. I'm not sure how much actual real Bulgarian rose oil it contains, but I think mine has macerated a bit. I like to use it to extend and deepen some of my other rose fragrances. I even layered it with the vestiges of Tanasuk to make it more rose dominant and less incense-oudish. To me this rose smells more realistic than most.
