Rosa Ekaterina

Beautiful. Not so powdery, but a spicy sort of rose as it opens (in the same vein as Portrait of a lady, for example, but without the patchouli and smokiness from the incense, just the spice, but smoother, with more of a red, juicy quality. Softens as it develops. Very nice and perfectly unisex. Blind bought and no regrets. The bottle is beautiful and suggests something slightly softer. Pleasant surprise. edit: so now after an hour plus a bath, I spray it again and am loving it even more. Something instantly pulls me in, a nuance reminiscent of my all-time favorite rose fragrance, Stephane Humbert Lucas' Rose de Petra... This perfume is just so beautiful I can't stand it..

One of a kind powdery rose and I've gone through hundreds fragrances in this category. Don't know how they did it but this is true luxury in a bottle. It is so elegant and well made. The more you wear it, more you want to wear it if this makes sense. It's like a fountain of youth. Showstopper from the house! Worth every scent and may I say presentation is beautiful on this one!

Beautiful rose fragrance. Like a vase of roses in an old oil painting. It’s a rose in full bloom just before the petals fall. I don’t know how better to describe it. The spice and cedar are in the dry down as the rose fades. I love it, but I love rose fragrances.

This is Rose. Its essence is captured beautifully in this masterpiece. It’s soft but very pronounced. It’s supported well by the white musk. I get no spices here, just a beautifully crafted Rose.

Top notes: Pink pepper, Elemi. Middle notes: May rose. Base notes: sandalwood, vanilla, hot spices, white musk, cumin, cinnamon.
