Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition 2012

Absolutely gorgeous, fresh, clean, non-soapy, sparkling bright elegant, sophisticated and just simply a lovely rose. Very nicely blended in the accords and the transitions. Peony and Water Lily shine with bergamot in the opening. Rosy red heart blossoms with a whisper of cool magnolia. A gently understated Cedar/Sandalwood/Amber melange meld seamlessly to warm the floral in a very discreetly cozy way with a clean and subdued musk finishing this preciously tender composition. I love it. Paul Smith seems to work well on my chemistry and this one is another winner for me!

I love this version of Paul Smith rose. I have a problem with fruit scent (compared to the 2011 edition) so this is perfect for a diehard rose fan. Btw- can someone change the picture of the perfume? The one shown here is the 2011 edition which for a moment confuses me until I look at the notes.

Oh WOW, I think this might be THE ONE for me when it comes to rose scents, maybe I finally found the scent simmilar to Yankee Candle Fresh Cut Roses...... Edit...I have just bought this and this is definitely THE ONE for me. Fresh pink roses in the green lush garden WOW

This perfume lacks substance(pun intended). I feel so because, There is nothing else I could detect other than fresh RED ROSES when I first sprayed it. As I let this perfume sit on the sleeve and my wrist for an hour or two, it still smelt like fresh red Roses. After a day the perfume on my sleeve dried down to its driest and still- SMELT LIKE FRESH RED ROSES. Second time around when I sprayed this perfume, the smell got way too familiar, boring and a bit nauseating to be frank. Not for me. Although, anyone who doesn't mind smelling like a walking red rose bouquet all day, then they might like it. On the plus side, it's got moderate sillage and is long lasting on clothes.

A soft, perfect pink rose in bloom. For me, it is not sweet, nor juicy nor dark. It is precious. Think of little girls coming close to a rose and smelling it. Done well!
