In Full Bloom

Timeless Pink Tea-Rose with Peony... Although it's not a dupe of anything, this beauty has a slightly vintage leaning opening where I catch reminders of Tea Rose Perfumers' Workshop, but then transforms to a more contemporary tea-rose. Opens with a burst of rose with citrus and green nuances that blooms, developing honey, powdery, peppery and soapy facets, resting on a soft woody base with faint peachy touches that become peachier the longer it's on the skin. In the drydown, the rose sheds the citrus & green facets and takes on a whipped, velvety quality, taking you on a journey from rosebud to full bloom. This beauty is for the seekers and collectors of rose scents. Overall: Beautiful timeless tea-rose scent with well above average performance. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 07/11/24: This is a rose scent that really shines in hot weather. Wearing it right now and the projection is lovely and voluminous in the warmth - less sharp than in cooler weather. Still has a slight vintage lean to it but that's muted by the whipped peony imo. Definitely a pink rose, and in the heart there's also some refreshing geranium leanings as well. This is beautiful in July. I will probably reserve this rose for warm weather. Still a love.

I can’t believe the deal I got for this... $35 CANADIAN DOLLARS FOR A 100ml bottle!!! Tester yes -no box but had full cover and doesn’t say tester! I LOVE Kate spade, started with swirl and just fell in love with the rest lol so this was a blind buy buy I was fairly confident that I would love it! Drum roll please.....OF COURSE I DO!!!! It’s actually a bit different than I expected! I thought it would be a bit more green/citrus/aquatic/fresh/rose at the end but instead it’s more like green/rose/fresh/aquatic and light citrus. Granted it’s only been an hour or two ish but it’s much more rose than I expected, again not a terrible thing but it just surprised me! Lovely all the way around! If you wanna find out the site I use that has this so cheap send me a message

I should preface my review by saying that rose is my favorite perfume note and I love this scent for that reason. That is exactly what IFB is, pure undiluted rose. Its not dewy but it shines like it was freshly picked. I suppose the lemon is there, as zest is in a recipe, to enhance but never to be individually detected. This is by no means a citrus scent not even in the dry down. Because it is so purely rose, I do enjoy layering this scent with others in my collection. Nice with aquatic scents and other florals. I love to spray it in my hair and on my neck in the spring and summer. Absolutely one of my favorite roses and a bargain gem I hope I never have to part with. 🌹

I really like this! It is a gorgeous, fresh pink rose, complete with a touch of green from stems and foliage. It is soft but present. Sillage and longevity could be more, but I have a feeling this is something that you wear for yourself, not for others. I have been hunting for a Rose scent that doesn’t turn make-up-y on me and this fits the bill. If you like roses, I highly recommend you check it out. I can’t precisely say what makes this so good on me, but I keep smelling my wrist, and that makes it a win. Again, the only downside is longevity is minimal, only about three hours on my skin. I’ll try it on clothes later and see if it lasts longer.

I’m am shocked by the ratings on this? This is not weak at all, I always wear very strong scent like Beautiful, Passion, White Linen, Eternity. I only wear heavier scents, that being said this last for over 24 hours on my clothes and has great silage. This is not weak at all it’s actually stronger!! It’s a rose dominant perfume and I absolutely adore this and I don’t like rose scents but I love this it’s GORGEOUS❤️ Happy Sniffing!
