Rose Blush Cologne

First off, I do agree- this is sort of like if Peony & Blushed Suede and Red Roses by Jo Malone had a baby, but I will add that this concoction, aptly named Rose Blush, is certainly worth a try even if you've smelled both of its parents. To me, Rose Blush also is a near identical dupe for Eau Rose by Diptyque (specifically, the hair mist formulation)- light rose petals, fresh barely there greens, and then sweet, punchy lychee. The lasting power is impressive for a cologne (I could smell traces on myself a day after first spraying) and the dry down is pleasant- fresh, floral, and a little soapy. Jo Malone is all about mixing and matching their scents, so I'm sure you could just mix Red Roses and Peony & Blushed suede and get a similar effect. But, there is a definite charm this bottle has (this is the best packaging I've seen from this brand) and a very pretty, warm weather twist that Rose Blush has that neither of its parents do.

'A bright fresh rose with lychee' It's a blind buy full bottle for me as I really love the theme of this limited collection! The bottle, the tin box and the Gingham paper box is really beautiful. The top note is bright fresh rose with lychee and the it begins to fade down to subtle rose with a little hint of lychee for me even lychee is not on the main note the brand claimed...and I also don't get that basil on the top note as well. I think this would be perfect for spring & summer. It would be a safe blind buy for someone who love fruity floral scent, I guess. Somehow this kind of scent can be found in other brand as well...

A very pretty, mostly rose and lychee confection. At first spray, it’s all about the fresh and sweet scent of pink roses mixed with the juicy tartness of lychee. There is a hint of green at the opening, but it doesn’t translate as basil to my nose. As the fragrance develops on my skin, the rose is joined by the scent of clean, white musk, but the scent itself doesn’t change too much from its opening. It fits perfectly in the line’s marmalade collection; there is that jammy sweetness to the rose and lychee. Although the composition may not be groundbreaking, here it’s done well and it’s great for those days when I just want to smell pretty!

I love this fragrance! At first it starts as a green, juicy rose. The basil provides a freshness in the opening that makes me feel like I'm smelling roses planted near someone's herb garden. On the dry down this becomes much sweeter - on my skin, the lychee lingers to a sweet, candy rose smell. It's absolutely lovely, but my only complaint is that I wish the freshness of the basil lingered longer. Otherwise I think this would be a nice summer fragrance when the heat really helps the rose and lychee to bloom.

I enjoy this fragrance. It’s a light fresh take on rose. Reminds me of the smell of wild roses. I can almost smell a little lemon in this. The lychee brings some sweetness to the fragrance. I don’t smell any basil, but get a little hint of a green note. Worth a try if you’re on the look out for a light, pleasant rose scent.
