Elegant Rose

Taylor of London elegant rose is one BIG rose! it makes no excuses for what it proclaimed to be and it does it quite well! Ay first spray I get nothing of the green note in the pyramid. Just a huge blousey rose, which is fine by me. I mean, if you are going to aim to be a rose soliflower! why not do it with passion? This rose fragrance does just that. I get not a single middle note, but the dry down was surprisingly lovely! The rose fades a bit and I do detect a whisper of the chamomile and a hint of wood. All in all, a VERY satisfying experience! As others have mentioned, use a light touch when applying, as the sillage is monstrous! The longevity is moderate.

I have the body powder. It is very nice and smells like a true rose. I have a seven oz. tin that cost about 15.00 on eBay. This is a good deal!

At first I hated it. I thought, I got a perfume from a spoiled batch, since I didn't detect any rose in it. All I had to do is wait, and tadaaam, the beautiful, feminine, gentle rose finally came out. It is a tiny bit powdery on me, but in a good way. It's not fresh, it's not unique, it's not old, it's not young, it is English rose in a very light, inoffensive way. Great for layering, if you want a more complex fragrance. Sillage is very modest, but the longevity is good.

I have this in the talcum powder as well. I use the powder with a brush on my skin after a shower or to spot treat clothes. It is a very powerful rose scent, so use lightly. I find it is great for layering with other scents if I use it very lightly. Also, the vintage tin canister for the powder is really cute if you're into that kind of thing. :)

Definitely rose! But what I love best about this rose is that it is accompanied by fresh chamomile flowers and other lovely garden greenery. This is a great rose for summer since it's lighter than most rose soliflores as well as a bit bitter, cold, and green with a light soapy dry down.
