Rose Perfection

A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet Roses are aesthetically visually beautiful and smell just as beautiful as they look. They are treats for the sense of sight and smell. I also love the texture and feel of rose petals. For me this fragrance is a dreamy, sensual, velvety rose. It can come on as rather strong so don't apply liberally. It is not powdery although when it's soft it's still very realistic and true to the scent of roses. I detected some fresh, green floral rosebush scent, along with the bloom of a rose, a red and pink rose. As with most roses the odor profile can be described as being citrusy, deep, romantic, feminine but in this case neither soapy nor powdery. Rose Perfection is more of a lush deep Oriental mature rose. It smells like a Middle Eastern rose cologne not a European rose perfume. There are ambers, musks, incense, some creamy tones of perhaps tuberose (unlisted) and a touch of sandalwood. The luxurious rose can be quite the experience so this is suited to experienced rose fragrance fans. As for what time of year to wear it, this is a spring and summer rose but it can also be worn in the fall and winter. It's an any season rose. She is also an any time of day rose. Day wear. Evening wear. But make no mistake. This gorgeous epic rose is asking you to wear her with formal and glamorous clothing, not T Shirt and jeans. I wear this to the Opera, the Symphony, wedding receptions, dinner parties and other black tie galas. As a rose fan, this hits the spot. There are many rose fragrances out there that are of this caliber: Calligraphy Rose by Aramis, Sa Majeste La Rose by Serge Lutens and La Fille de Berlin. She is unapologetically fragrant, exotic, even. This is not as dainty or as typical a rose as some might think. I really enjoy this fragrance oh and let me finish by stating that because it has those darker touches of deep amber, resins, musk and incense, it has a unisex air so it can be worn by men who enjoy rose scents in their colognes. This is a stylish and very beautiful perfect rose fragrance captured by the same house that gave me the most memorable perfumes of my entire life like my Fracas which was my wedding day perfume. If you love rose notes in your perfume, this is going to blow you away. So beautiful. Ravishing roses. Thank you Robert Piguet

A while ago I said that roses in perfumery are not old-fashioned, despite their popularity. I still think roses have many new stories to tell and can be interpreted with lots of creativity and I sustain my words by mentioning two good examples of this: Trance from J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin and La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens ( now I realize both involve not only good and original roses, but also the name of a great city). Moving to Rose Perfection, I must add that for me it is not a big surprise, because it is produced by one of my favorite brands ever, Robert Piguet. Actually when I say Piguet you can imagine red little hearts in my eyes :)). So thank you, dear house for my signature scent Visa, for "the Fracas" classic and Petit, and now for this gorgeous rose which trully deserves it`s name. It is a dark, natural but refined red rose, lush and strong. Not the type that grows or transforms itself very much on your skin, as it is big and mature right from the start, and it also does not seem to need any complementary notes around, because alone it`s perfect. Don`t be afraid, you will not get enough of this, as it is not boring to look at the photo of your loved one the whole day...

Well, it certainly isn't true that when you've smelt one rose you've smelt them all!! And I certainly have never heard that said!? It couldn't be more inaccurate!! This is a sublime sublime sublime rose perfume!!! It's roses. Roses are the most varied of smells you can get!! There are millions of different roses, and their scents are widely varied. This perfume has a perfect blend of a few different rose fragrances, made into one beautiful bouquet - or even a beautiful rose garden, crammed with all sorts of varieties, all in varying stages of bloom. It's completely heavenly. It has a beautiful spicy edge to it, and is very very lush. Fabulous. The sillage is superb; everyone can smell me a few feet away, and always say how gorgeous I smell, and my husband ADORES it!!!! It's beautiful!!! And it lasts well. It is Rose Perfection!!!!

pure, unadulterated, perfect rose. I have never found a perfume that is named so aptly. this is the epitome of a good, solid, classic rose. It doesn't even smell like a rose "garden", it just smells like millions and trillions of perfectly shaped, perfectly fragrant rosebuds. it's like you dived into an ocean of dewy rose petals! don't ever worry about it smelling old fashioned, there is no grandma here to be seen, anywhere. it isn't sour at all either. you know how some perfumes make you "feel" beautiful? this is one of the best examples of that. it exudes beauty and elegance, it really makes you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, bar none. If I ever have a daughter, this is the first perfume I would give her. It is that precious and blindingly perfect! highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended to all rose-lovers.

Wearing it feels like you been sleeping on bed from rose petals, for breakfast had cup of rose-tea and rosy-jam on rosy-toasts, that your dress is of rose colour and the whole air induced with rose essential oils. Sounds like too much, isnt it?..Its a right rose for mazohist! The problem is that I like it, it clicks with my rose-cravings, but the price on this perfection is not that perfect at all. Its very potent and very strong, last night I sprayed on sweater-sleeve, but when I took it off to be ready for bed, from my own skin the scent of the dark rose was rising around my head, and I smelled it on the morning. Yet I applied the leftovers of the sample, true mazohist! *sigh* In my memory it will stay one of the most favourite roses, among Paestum, Luten's Sa Majesty and Rose Anonyme.
