Rose Potion

So many rose fragrances lose the freshness and dewyness of the rose. Not this one, this smells like a garden of early morning uncut roses - still moist and the scent is just coming alive. The sun is still low in the sky, and standing in the middle of the bushes, the fresh scent begins to rise. It's slightly spicy, sweet and rich. A couple of tiny dabs to my wrists and it surrounds like a rosy cloud. As it dries down, the freshness remains and the smoothest sandalwood makes an appearance, anchoring the roses to my skin and making it fuller and smoother. I'm not a pretty scent woman, but this is "earthy" pretty and I love it. The sandalwood makes all the difference, and it's addition is inspired. This is a perfect first date scent, or a "I feel stressed and need to relax" scent. Even if you don't love rose fragrances normally, this deserves a trial. It is different from any rose scent I have known.

This fragrance transforms throughout the seasons. She is a green, freshly cut, strong rose in the warm days of Spring/Summer. On my skin, she announces her strong presence in the opening, but lingers lightly for hours. In the cold, wet Fall/Winter, she blooms! One application to my wrists and applied to pulse points is plenty for the day and her warm, rosey glow is tempered by a gentle sweetness. I have been so amused and pleased by this natural beauty. If you love a true Rose fragrance, this deserves your consideration.

I'm not usually a fan of Rose soliflore scent, but I love Rose Potion so much. It's not very complex, but sophisticated and elegant. The opening smells like a glass of rose liqueur, with a champagne-like effervescence, there is also clear tea nuance in background. Dewy, crisp and mellow, the perfect balance of wood and nectar, not too sweet. This is discontinued, but can occasionally be seen on the second-hand market, so if you found one, don't miss it.

This is truly the most beautiful rose. Divine. Fresh and very natural, rich, green and sultry. It's beautifully strong, and lasts all day. It's so much like being nestled in a bunch of the most delicate and multi-coloured roses of different scents; it's glorious and luxurious. Perfect. And the bottle is the most precious thing, and the colour just sweeps me off my feet. It's beautiful.

I ADORE this perfume! It's absolutely beautiful and such a pure scent. While I'm a big fan of all things roses I don't often wear rose perfumes and this one is simply divine. I use it sparingly because it's just so gorgeous, it's really a treat whenever I unscrew the bottle. This perfume radiates of your skin like nothing else and lingers for hours.
