Rose Pacific

You are a beautiful woman in Los Angeles. It’s the end of May. There’s a bike in your garage you like to take to Quickly boba shop. The day is warm but there’s a sea breeze that makes riding a bike feel so much easier. You’re get a rose milk tea boba with vanilla salt syrup and sip it while looking at Instagram and decide to cross the street when you see the magazine stand has a new issue of your favorite art magazine. Your sister texts you that she got a peach donut from the donut man. You decide to buy her a rose milk tea boba if she buys you a donut. She meets you up while the weather is getting cooler and enjoy your feast, and someone drives by playing La Vie en Rose by Grace Jones. Actually? Ignore my entire fantasy and just play La Vie en Rose by Grace Jones. That is what this fragrance smells like. A life of romance and pleasure, happiness and joy. DS&Durga please. I beg you to make this a permanent collection. I cannot live without this beautiful fragrance.

Yes it does indeed evoke the smell of my beautiful home and love California. Brilliant. Also reminds me of your friend's mom who is an artistic 55-65 yo friend's white lady who has a really nice garden - beach side house. Santa Barbara. Divine. It also reminds me kind of like the beach nautical cape cod section of home goods BUT the avocado - we are in my sweet sweet california. Thank you DS Durga. I dont have many summer scents and this may become one.

Hey this is beautiful. Much more stereotypically sweet rosey floral than Rose Atlantic, but still in a way that does not feel stereotypical. One of the more girly perfumes I've seen from DS&D but still firmly within the vision and brand of the house. Gorgeous absolute win.

really beautiful and familiar, like a vacation you’ve went on before.

Wow smells familiar and comforting 😍 Instant love

This smells like drinking a creamy avocado smoothie with fruity rose syrup on a sunny day in Los Angeles. It’s a lot creamier than I expected, but it’s not stuffy or lotion-y. At one point, it smelled a little bubblegum-like on me, but that was brief, and it dried down into the vanilla and musk. The rose and fruit notes stick around which is nice. Gorgeous and very well blended!

this reminds me of something and a can’t figure out what it is and it’ll probably haunt me forever i love marine/aquatic rose fragrances, this one’s sweet too which is really nice (not in a cloying way tho). super fresh, pretty, youthful. perfect for spring and summer. i don’t really get the avocado though which is disappointing because i thought it’d be interesting

Smelled at the store in Venice and tried on skin. This is much creamier than may come across in the notes but it's very pleasant. The peach note was subtle on my skin. Rose, vanilla, musk came through a lot easier. Pleasant dry down. Reminds me a bit of a fruity Rose Adage by Odette.

I picked up on the rose and avocado, but there’s something about this fragrance that smells old to me, musty even. I had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately it ended up being a disappointment.

What the hell DS Durga? This is all artificial peach and musk. Cheap, gross, scrubber.

So much for providing a unique description of this one! Wearing this today and immediately thought it smelled JUST like drinking a smoothie in (West) Los Angeles in the sunshine... with a constant touch of rose. The review below mine is quite accurate although I personally don’t get full on avocado smoothie. It’s some sort of orange colored smoothie for sure and only has avocado blended in to a near indiscernible degree. Perfect scent for LA summer.

Lifetime Californian and there’s something about this that’s very emotional for me. It smells like the Central Valley in the heat, grass baking, smelling my grandmother’s rose bushes, eating a farm peach. Not strong for me but might be FB worthy bc this is summer nostalgia bottled.

very Hollister in a way i find endearing and a little nauseating at the same time. peach gummy rings, 7 eleven slurpee, crunchy salty hair, tree shaped car air freshener in a tropical scent, hot plastic, windows down, heaven by los lonely boys on the radio.

Like walking into a Hallmark store in the early 2000s. Extremely screechy, synthetic, and confusing. Do not blind buy this, I’m sure you can find something that smells identical at a gas station for a fairer price.

interesting and pretty but somewhat too strange for me to wear everyday, can definitely detect rose, apricot, and that ocean air, but it feels almost hollow, gives me a weird feeling

This smell reminds me of the ocean gel candles from the 90s that you want to stick your finger in

Delina brought a peach to the beach. Just felt like saying that
