Rose SaltifOlia

I want to cry how good this is! This is everything ive been searching for ever since i decided rose can make it’s rise to fame again (its been hugely overdone a few years ago) but on MY specific terms: i don’t want a spicy rose, or a jammy rose, or candied or musky or mixed with iris or jasmine, and i certainly don’t want it anywhere near citrus and or bergamot, my two most detested scent notes. I want what DS&Durga’s Rose Atlantic would have been had it not been poisoned by those two notes. I just want a full garden of Bulgarian, English, Turkish roses along with Earth Angel and Francis Meillands, and the violet ones the name i don’t remember but they are sooo potent, almost artificial in how strong of a rose smell they have - all of those after a summer storm. Covered in dew drops, with a salty post rain air and petrichor. (I have a Nudesse Overose candle that delivers just exactly that, a really wet rose smell and ever since i decided i need to find a perfume to match.) This is it! It’s absolutely perfect and addictive. I just adore how prominent the salt note is here followed by the airy sweetness of a rose. No medicinal scent, no spa like citruses, nothing that takes it to a place of a cheap shampoo or men’s generic aftershave. It’s all delicate, feminine, soft and elegant. The type of rose scent that just smells expensive. Done right. Now i just need a candle in this..oh wait... we’ve come full circle already

clean, silky rose with some saltiness and oceanic flavour in it. I discovered Maison Crivelli when choosing my own birthday present 2 weeks before it, and I stumbled into a shop that does sell Diptyque. I told the lady what I needed, which would suit the hospital setting (not disturbing to the patient). I tried olene, eau rose, tamdao, opheon, and whatever else there was. maybe still in the trying phase. Then the lady just showed me this brand, which she described as a niche perfume. On the tester paper, it was OMG; it was so clean, so unique, so unlike any other perfume I tried( that day I already tried Tom Ford, Lelabo, Bulgari, Chanel, Diptyque, etc.), this perfume truly stood out, together with Oud Maracuja. The rose is nothing like a diptyque eau rose or the rose in Federic Malle (ok, their is also nice), which is the rose together with the leaf, the stalk. On my birthday, I purchased this ROSE SALTIFOLIA over Tamdao. Generally, I won't get dizziness over an oceanic or sea note, which normally makes me dizzy after using Versace pour homme at first few times. This perfume has the balance between the rose centifolia and the other note. It's a unisex perfume to me, and I really like it. I'll give it a score of 9.5/10 for rose note perfume Now, I just let it stay put for 2–3 weeks to mature more since the longevity seems to be shorter than the one in the store. I just hope it gets better after maturation.

After the zesty opening settles, this mainly feels like a rose that was dipped in the ocean, and now has dried in the breeze, with a bit of sand and sea salt still lurking on the petals. It doesn't give me a rose bush or dried petals or jammy rose at all. About half an hour in, seaweed is now fully incorporated, only propping up the rose to float. They are now fused together: you can't really tell them apart although neither has completely disappeared. It has turned very airy but very vividly rosy still. Unlike most fragrances in the same category that go the mineral/cool/icy route, Rose Saltifolia manages to keep some sun-warmed edges around it, which makes it a perfect choice for those like me who can't take cool/chill aquatic scents. The deep drydown is just an afternoon sea breeze on my skin, warmed in the sun and wafting through the rose bushes before hitting your nose. I've also come to realize that Rose Saltifolia does mentally carry me away to this remote Mediterranean beach on a calm day, disconnecting me from whatever's going on around! Think Santorini beaches on the far end!! So, very meditative in that way, too! All in all, ABSOLUTELY easy to love, not like much else I've smelled before. <3

Absolutely obsessed with this fragrance. Imagine Delina La Roseé and Wood Sage and Sea Salt had a baby, in all its watery, breezy, salty, fresh, woody-sandy-rosy glory. This is a highly underrated fragrance that perfectly marries the "Clean Girl" and "Pretty Girl" aesthetics. Signature Scent worthy, it is the ultimate "White T-shirt" fragrance... unisex, fresh, clean and pretty, but long-lasting and interesting enough to be alluring... It can be worn year-around but really shines in the spring and summer. Just. Wait. For. The. Drydown. That is when this scent casts its spell. The cashmeran wood and musk really comes out to play. A sparkling rosé and blood orange mimosa, sipped on the sandy dunes of a northern seaside town, wild grasses waving in the breeze, walking barefoot along a weathered cobblestone path with wild roses clambering over an old driftwood arbor, watching blue-and-white striped sailboats and dancing seabirds in the bright morning sun.

I like this, and feel like salty florals are having a bit of a moment (or they should be!). They're such a great palate-cleanser after two decades of fruity florals, and Rose and sea-air go so nicely together. This is a crisp, easy-to-wear rose fragrance, with a little more salt and ozone than rose. It's very evocative and very nice. Reminds me of Rose Atlantic by DS & Durga and the original Chloe (now called Chloe Collection 2005) - the latter of which has a similar marine note; but this is way better than the Chloe and of course revolves around Rose and not white florals. I don't think it's better than Rose Atlantic, however, but they are different enough to have both if one was into oceanic roses. I think this one is more ethereal, whereas Rose Atlantic is fruitier and more robust. Broadly, I don't think this fragrance is breaking new ground, but it's lovely enough. I don't find it cloying or anything - rather it's refreshing and enjoyable.
