Vanitose

Instantly smitten with it. I was once lucky enough to be gifted a jar of homemade rose jam and this is what it opens like. A candied floral, no danger of smelling like a graveyard, deeply cute. Settles into a cosy, powdery little thing (but then again most perfumes do, on my skin). It's as if the 2020 movie "Emma" were a scent, which isn't to say that it's strictly girly: it turns people of any gender into a Bridgerton love interest. Vanitose more than earns its diminutive price tag (under 20 euros for 30ml, with very pretty and gift-appropriate packaging to boot!) and I warmly recommend it.

Fresh mixed apple/pear vibe at the beginning but it settles quickly, into a very soapy blend of rose and ambergris. Although the saffron and tobacco are detectable, this is totally a rose centered fragrance. Towards the end, it reveals a sort of vanilla, leathery softness, like an intimate, skin-like warm & salty vibe. Throughout the day, the rose note stays pretty prominent not changing much, and it lingers on me for quite a long time. Initially, I didn't expect much from this blind buy, but I ended up liking it with its unique character, even though it gives off a more mature woman vibe. If you're into rose fragrances, you'll absolutely love this.

Fresco e leggermente fruttato, si sentono chiaramente rosa e vaniglia.
