Rosa Woman

Kappa Rosa is a nice surprise! I got a bottle in a blind purchase when I saw it on a perfume website for only £5.99 for a 100ml (3.4oz) EDT bottle and the notes in it sounded really nice. I'd never heard of it before so I had no idea what to expect but it's turned out to be a very good buy! It's a very delicate, soft, sweet perfume and I can smell mainly the plum, rose and the sweet base notes of vanilla, tonka bean and a little hint of coffee. It immediately brought to mind a perfume from my teens (I can't remember which one though!) and it smells young and innocent. I may no longer be particularly young or innocent (!) but who cares?! There aren't any age barriers to perfumes and I think anyone can wear whatever appeals to them, so I have every intention of wearing this on a pretty regular basis! It's a very inoffensive, long lasting perfume (8+ hours) and one that would be ideal as an office kind of scent or to wear in any enclosed space where you don't want to literally get up people's noses and annoy them! So, I really like this and can't think of a better way to have spent my £5.99 than on such a nice perfume!

I got this as a blind buy from a bargain website (£3.99 for 100mls!!) and I'm very pleased with it. Its a solid, chunky and pretty bottle, and the fragrance is equally pretty. Its delicate and doesn't last long-about 2 hours or so-but it is a lovely light rose underpinned with a soft powdery vanilla and woody note. I don't get coffee at all from this, but overall its a lovely daily use scent for summer, feminine and subtle.

To me it ́s very much rose and lily of the valley in the beginning. The first 40 min or so I get a strong soapy feeling...but when it calms down Rosa woman is a really nice acquaintance. On my skin it lasts about 6 hours. I would say it ́s quite good. The sillage is not that big, you ́re not offending anyone by wearing this on the bus or at work. I don ́t get the coffee but I think the vanilla in the base makes Rosa a nice enough everyday scent.
