Ecume de Rose

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) ECUME DE ROSE transforms me into an old French garden with overgrown rose arches, abundant greenery and dreamy ponds full of water-lilies. The transparent, airy and aquatic notes are combined with the charmingly romantic rose in this subtle and delicate perfume that reminds me of a beautiful painting by Monet. The water-lily in the opening is translucent and cool like a reflective surface of a calm pond on the hazy afternoon. The cassia adds a bit of spicy quality and mystery like when the waters of the pond become a bit clouded and hide what’s beneath the surface. The heart notes bring lovely tender rose scent like rosewater. There are three types of roses in the heart of this fragrance: Dune rose, Rose Attar and Rose Absolue. The dry down is gorgeous earthy vetiver mixed with slightly spicy rose. The sillage and longevity is decent. The rose notes are natural and beautiful mixed with the dreamy aquatic tone and slightly spicy earthy rose dry down. This lovely and refreshing perfume is great for spring and summer time. Definitely recommend.

I love the Beach Rose (Rosa rugosa) as it blooms in June on the coasts of New England. Their scent, rose-water soft, yet dry in feel, is almost tangy, as it fuses with the ocean air under a warm sun and blue skies. White, pink, and magenta, they adorn the beaches of the Cape and the rocky shores of Maine, and their balm is a welcome sensation heralding the summer season. Ecume de Rose is one perfume that comes close to this sensation—delicate and fresh, yet assuringly persistent, it has just enough of an aquatic phrase (an apparent water lily accord) to capture the experience of beach rose in its marine environment. Now, there isn't necessarily anything saline here, but a subtle vetiver in its base suggests the presence of just a bit of brine. It's simple, naturalistic, and delightful.

Ecume de Rose is a lovely soft delicate salty, slightly smoky rose. It is beautiful, and combines gorgeously with the vetiver. Such a beautiful combination. It's very fresh and quite sharp at the start, and then quickly becomes soft, velvety and powdery, with the amber and musk making it smooth and sweet, and the vetiver brings in a lovely smoky, dry, almost chocolate edge, which just serves to enhance this gorgeous rose. It's a very earthy touch to a sweet and fragrant full blooming rose garden. It's beautiful. I love these Rosine perfumes; they're so natural and unique. And the packaging is always exquisite. I adore the colour and bottle of this one. Everything about it is delightful.

i find this rose particularly beautiful and intriguing. it starts fresh, even sharp, in a few minutes transforms into powdery soft floral with not a prominant rose note (thus, the water-lily plays the 1st fiddle here) and finally, you're able to enjoy the desired long lasting rose middle note through the very last minute of the drydown. and this leading rose is so rich and velvet this time...a big love!

Clean rose-infused seawater- Every note is there, as far as I can smell. Delicate, doesn't lose the delicacy as it becomes earthier. The rose lasts until the (not) bitter end. Adorable, the only floral aquatic I can think of that I like. Staying power is more than decent, but this isn't a very strong scent to begin with-low sillage.
