Aqua Allegoria Rosa Pop

I love this scent! It's quite transparent, sweet, moist, soft, floral, cheerful yet elegant. It was a successful blind buy for me. Quite a few reviews have stated that it's more like a body spray than an EDT, which I partly agree with; it has a very transparent/watery vibe to it, and sillage isn't great, but it lasts on my skin/clothes for many hours. However, this aspect of it makes it perfect for those days that you just want something more discreet but still with some elegance. I guess the combo of violet and rose is often seen as a bit old fashioned but the other notes in it makes it more modern. The flowers in this perfume just seem very moist and juicy (rather than powdery). I'd also like to add that I have previously blind purchased both Flora Rosa and Rosa Rossa from the Aqua Allegoria line, but neither of those have been successful blind buys for me, I have actually disliked both of them. I found that they had a sharp/screechy (almost sour) note in them that ruined them for me. Rosa Pop is much smoother and discreet though, more refreshing yet also softer. I don't feel this scent has much wow-factor, but it's a great uplifting scent that would be suitable for all seasons and all kinds of weather.

I have gotten dozens of decanted samples from my fraghead aunt over the years, but the sample she gave me of this one was the first that really clicked. Rosa Pop is the first perfume that smelled truly beautiful to me and that made made me feel like myself (or an even better version of myself) when wearing it. It was the perfume that made me realize why people love perfume. I mentioned to my aunt that I had really liked it and she surprised me by generously giving me her full bottle (my first ever FB, which still feels like an insane luxury), initiating a true love affair between me and Rosa Pop. It truly feels like a bit of a magic potion at this point - the juice has always smelled amazing to me (well-blended juicy red berries mixed with soapy white florals and iris) but it’s also become infused with all of the happy and comforting memories I have wearing this perfume, along with the fact that it was an incredibly kind gift from the loved one who sent me on my perfume journey in the first place. It's my perfume for the happiest of days and the moments when I need the most comfort. Rosa pop, I love you.

Just lovely. The perfect clean (but not soapy) and sweet (but not cloying) summer floral. I love violet and rose combos and this doesn’t disappoint. This is not a powdery or waxy take on the cosmetic scent, although this does smell lipsticky at times. Rather, rose and violet come together in an almost aquatic composition. Other reviewers have said JUICY and I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes it smells a bit like lipgloss, but more often like a high quality shower gel. I have several in the Aqua Allegoria line and most of the time these scents are fleeting, seemingly made to be reapplied with abandon. So, I was pleasantly surprised when this defied all odds and persisted on my skin for hours and hours. It just kept going, getting fainter after the 5 hour mark but still noticeably there at the 18 hour mark! Impressive! My skin typically devours fragrances but I seem to have better luck with violet so I can’t guarantee you’ll experience the same good fortune. If you are a violet lover, don’t hesitate to try this.

I blind bought this, and I'm happy to be able to say I'm excited about this fragrance! Maybe not the most risky blind-buy, since I adore violets and perfumes like Meteorites from Guerlain and J'adore by Dior. It really do remind me of meteorites, but it is a LOT softer and not as green and fresh. It smells like a genuine bouquet of pink and purple flowers, and therefore feels kind of more natural to me? Does not smell synthetic or alcoholic at all, just flowers and berries. Very feminine. I can understand why people don't like this, because it's somewhat of a unique smell, or at least not generic or easily liked by everyone. I love colored glass-bottles but this one is a little boring, in my opinion. I sprayed it with miss dior blooming bouquet by dior and it smelled like a flowershop in a spring sun. rate it 8/10

The rose here is quite similar to the one in my beloved Bvlgari - Rose Essentielle, but overall, Rosa Pop is much more green and bitter. I get absolutely no sweetness here and it's very "Guerlain", if you know, what I mean. Simple scent which I enjoy wearing when I'm in the mood for a different Rose. Sillage and longevity are so so, but for the price this cost I can't complain. ETA: Ok. I don't know how is this possible, but after wearing this scent for a few times, the greenness and and bitterness are almost gone! And I'm not mad at it at all, it's still gorgeous and non-sweet rose-violet combo.
