Esta Flor Rosa

Excelente duración, rosas calidas que me acompañaban todo el día. Lo amo! Ojalá natura volviera a sacarlo para la venta.

Natura has launched Esta Flor line in November 2015, as a new pillar of the perfumery of the company, which faces towards the fragrances called single theme (showing a single raw material), also known in the international market as Soliflore, which are those that replicate the scent of a single flower, in all their diversity of types and aromas. For now, the company brought two fragrances inside this new concept: Rose and Iris. Esta Flor Rosa had its starting point in the Valley of the Roses, in Bulgaria, where are collected the most beautiful Damascus Roses – fragrance theme –, known for their rich essential oil. From there come out hundreds of pounds of essential oil for manufacturers of the entire world. On the olfactory pyramid, as the focus was on the scent of Damascus Rose, the rest is in the background. But for those who like to know more details, the fragrance has essential oils of bergamot, Mandarin orange and davana (Artemisia), in addition to litchi and grapefruit, in the output. In the heart, the gorgeous essential oil of Damascus Roses, in addition to the absolute of jasmine Sambac, peony, violet, water lily, and Marigold. Finally, in the base, notes of tonka bean, vanilla absolute, patchouli, musk, opoponax, sandalwood, and ambery woods. On the skin, however, the fragrance reflects the scent of roses beautifully. It's clean and slightly green (with nuances that seem to burn the nostrils). The fresh output is a result of the citrus notes, while the base promises woody facets, although I feel just a beautiful musk. But this scent is another one of those mutants, which depend on the user's skin to show its qualities. I say this with confidence because, in one of the tests that I performed, I applied on my arm and, at the same time, on the arm of my mother. And the difference was absurd! While on my skin the fragrance stopped exuding in less time and become harmless, on female skin it was getting stronger and with a more vanilla tone over time. So, it was possible to feel the beauty of this Deo Parfum (Eau de Parfum equivalent) for more than 8 hours. Not least important, it is worth mentioning that Esta Flor Rosa was another joint creation of the brand, this time involving the in-house perfumer, Verônica Kato, and Isaac Sinclair, perfumer of Symrise. The box, as well as the exclusive media kit materials, brings the image of an x-ray of the Damascus Rose. The same happens in the Iris version. Such images were obtained by an English radiologist called Hugh Turvey. The bottle rescues the concept of simplicity, with straight lines and quality glass, with a spray that contains in its interior, the panache valve, which creates a delicate cloud of greater coverage on the skin (it seems to me the same used on the bottle of J'Adore Voile de Parfum).

On my skin, the fragance opens with an acidic smell, really similar to an apple that started going bad. I can smell the rose, but it stays behind this fruity, acid note. I cant say what is it that doesnt work well with my ph. The dry down on me smells like rose soap, but not a soft rose. Im sorry if you like this perfume, but it didnt work on me.

I love floral fragrances, particularly Bulgarian rose. Some years ago, Natura had the cologne Rosa da Bulgária, that was wonderful, but was descontinued. Now, Natura give us this gift!
