Rose Island

Notes from another site: Top notes: lemon sorbet accord, orange, mandarin, and Madagascar vanilla... Base notes: luminous rose, fresh bamboo, ginger gold, apple, sea moss, cedar wood, and dewy marine. Yes! This is such a sandy, hazy, sea air rose, as if the heat from the day dissipates and the warm sand has its own aroma with memories of the sun warmed flower petals drifting by.

I adore citrus-y smells, and this one does not disappoint. It may not travel far off of me but that is fine to be a cheaper fragrance, I can smell it well for a majority of my workday and that's just fine with me lol. It lasts longer than you would think to be a drug store sold perfume. Would recommend!

Beautiful, easy reach on the shelf, a big compliment-getter, fresh and floral in a way that it smells like a sea breeze has drifted past some roses and made its way to you

I love a good fresh Rose and Citrus fragrance, the notes in this one really got me interested so I went ahead and blind bought it. Blind buys are always a risk and I don't recommend it, however I really wanted to try this out as it was on sale. I also appreciate that the brand is clean and vegan, with no added unnecessary ingredients. To me this fragrance is definitely sweet warm and a bit fresh. Its so well blended that I cannot really make out any of the individual notes except for a bit of the Lemon Sorbet. I dont get much Rose so its definitely not a Rose forward fragrance. It has a warmth to it, like a sunny island feel, guess thats what they were going for. However this is not tropical or zesty or sharp in anyway but rather a soft fragrance. This definitely reminds me of Mariah Carey's Luscious Pink, they both share a marine note, although Fragrantica doesn't list it here, the marine note is shown on other sites. Something in this also comes across as fuzzy and peachy like in Luscious Pink, which is a bit odd. This fragrance is a bit of a Chameleon, the longer it sits on skin its starts to become sweeter yet tea like and powdery. Its not the easy reach freshie I was hoping for, but it is pleasant and I do like it. I will allow it to mature and see if it changes or gets any better. Sometimes all a perfume needs is time to bloom 🌺😄

I was looking for a rose freshy for the summer and I fell in love with the bottle, so this was a blind buy! To me the opening is borderline masculine - mostly sour apple, lemon and bamboo - it's beautiful, but as someone who likes girly scents I was worried that this would end up as a failed blind buy. Thankfully it gradually develops into a much sweeter scent as the rose, ginger and mandarin start to come through. The dry down is surprisingly sweet considering the opening - the rose is subtle, and the sour citruses turn into a candied citrus peel type of deal that's really yummy but also very fresh. I don't think I could wear this with a super girly dress or florals or anything soft and too feminine, but it's perfect for doing a grocery run in a pair of shorts for example. The longevity isn't great - after about 3-4 hours it's barely noticeable to others, but I can still smell it on my clothes almost throughout an entire day so it's not too bad I suppose.
