Rosefire

WOW. Rose lovers, you must try ROSEFIRE. You're going to freak. I cannot get enough, and as much as I love roses, I have nothing that I've experienced that is similar. I love Rose Etoile de Hollande by Mona di Orio, but that, to me, is a yellow rose, and that rose note fades. ROSEFIRE is not like this. It's closer to TEA ROSE but not as sharp, not as Bulgarian. ROSEFIRE doesn't mess around. Dang, I love this. I can't stop. I will try to report back as far as sillage and longevity, but I bought a full bottle on the spot at Bloomingdale's, so blown away. Lasts for DAYS on my clothes. I can't get enough. Projection is enough to have garnered me two compliments today from coworkers when they leaned near my computer screen. So, no trail or distance in terms of throw, but enough sillage for people who come in for a hug. Definite winner. LOVE. Smells exactly like the much pricer Buly 1803 :Eau Triple Rose de Damas (another alcohol-free line).

I don’t know why nobody has mentioned this at all, but to me this smells soooooo close to Delina by Parfums De Marly, at least for a good 4 hours after spraying. I own Delina and while these are not dupes, they’re close enough that you wouldn’t need both perfumes. Rosefire is a bit less screechy and a bit more sweet/juicy. The dry down of this is where it differs though - the sweet juicy rose gives way to a deeper saffron-y note reminiscent of Mancera’s Instant Crush. This perfume has truly been a delight to wear, it’s the yummiest sweetest juiciest rose that lasts a good 6+ hours on my skin. Projection isn’t beast mode but is pretty decent. I also find the no-alcohol formula super interesting and can definitely tell that the consistency of the perfume is more oil-heavy and sticks on the skin longer. I’d buy a full bottle if I didn’t already recently purchase PMD Delina. But maybe I’ll come back to this one day in the future.

Gorgeous. A syrupy rose with a fizzy, tart violet singing back up. There’s something a little sweet in the composition, maybe a dollop of vanilla cream even though it’s not listed. I’m not sure Rosefire is projecting but I also don’t care if I’m the only one who can smell it.... because I wholeheartedly am in love. Very natural profile, leaning into a rose gourmand direction. I was concerned that I was going to get a stinging feeling on my skin, as it happened when I sprayed another sample scent from Hermetica, but not this time. Really good longevity considering there’s no alcohol in the bottle. I don’t consider myself a major rose fan, but I also can’t imagine anyone not liking it. Rosefire is an easy to wear —and love— sweet rose perfume.

Gorgeous!! Floral but brightly "fruity"--to me, the davana is appearing almost daisy and melon-like (two things I don't often enjoy...but I also don't EVER enjoy davana!!). One weird thing is that my skin really prickled where I sprayed it. Don't know why! (The feeling faded as the spray absorbed in.) This scent was really a surprise for me, because I expected to hate it...but instead it might actually be my very favourite from the discovery set! :D I must say, Hermetica have really impressed me! I didn't expect much from non-alcohol fragrances, but they have been quite fantastic overall.

A very pretty non-screechy rose. It's very smooth and could be worn year round. I'm not a big floral girl, typical rose scents (like dior rose n roses) I hate, but this one is great, I'd consider a bottle of it. Moschino toy2 bubblegum was my go to for a rose fragrance but this is just as great in a different way, definitely less sweet than moschino but love it equally. Unfortunately longevity and projection are poor, I get like 2-3 hours and probably starting 1st hour I have to have my wrist to my nose to smell. For that reason only this went from a want to a pass.
