Elisabethan Rose - Vintage

Elisabethan rose is a poem dedicated to the queen of flowers. When i first apply it on my skin it opens with aldehydic, fresh and green notes thanks to geranium and violet leaves. Then the heart begins growing around the rose that reaches her supremacy in the meanwhile my skin gets warmer.the rose continues is circle fo life becaming powdered and gentle.Then she settles down on her bed made of amber, musk and sandalwood that confer to her all the magnificence of the queen of gardens. i really love this parfume that makes me feel sensual and very feminine like every woman must feel herself.i recomend it to all rose lovers!!

Opening with an old-fashioned talcum powder rose, this is my favourite phase of the perfume. The heart shines with a soft rose minus any green tinge to it. It is pure, heavy, fat, blooming rose head. I feel so feminine and pretty when I wear this. Even better, this rose never really sours or wilts on the skin as they are prone to do. In the drydown, violet peeks through the rosiness and it becomes apparent that the perky freshness of the rose owes its gratitude to a bed of sparkling green violets. But make no mistake this is all about the rose and it is an exquisite long-lasting pink one at that.

My all-time fav from this house. It's a pity that they discontinued this gem. The sharp green opening gives little hint of floral sweetness, and it slowly blossoms into a detached and skeletal rose without losing this concentrated piquancy. It settles down after 3-4 hours into a very sensual, more rounded, and warm-woody skin scent lingering for long. Violet adds some pleasant powderiness into its drying-down. The transition through every phase is distinct within a sophisticated structure. A dapper and fussy sketch of a handful of rawboned roses.

I personally don't think there is anything "old-fashioned" about smelling like fresh roses. I am very careful about using the word "soapy" because it's often overused, but I do think this is identical to the scent of a bar of rose soap. The drydown contains a hint of musk, which probably lends to the soapy quality. I would highly recommend this for rose lovers, especially lovers of fresh, pink roses covered in morning dew.

I find this fragrance very haunting and erotic. Makes me want to be a kept woman, lolling on silken sheets and eating bonbons. My toy poodle, Pierre, prances thru the rooms of my apartment, nipping at anyone he doesn't like. My lover adores me and brings me presents....sorry, got carried away!
