Rozy Eau de Parfum

Cool toned floral and fruity. Muse is actress Anna Magnani and the movie "The Rose Tattoo" that won her an Oscar for Best Actress. Rozy is like on the basis of Nahema PDT, to transform the works that add other elements. Roses and white flowers are paired with peach fragrance, and the top note has a clear passion fruit fragrance. It is as rich and smooth as rose jam, and at the same time, it is refreshing and not greasy, slightly sour and sweet. A layer of menthol filter is applied to change the ambient color. I smell blue Nahema. Every Vero fragrance has a great classic to pay homage to, and this Rozy clearly chose to pay homage to Nahema. She cleverly did not dismantle Nahema, but "modified" it, and the fragrance was more round and smooth. Rozy is not like Niche perfume, the retro trace is very strong.

I do not know what I expected from Rozy, but it certainly wasn't this. I am generally a fan of Vero Profumo creations but I have to say that this time I just don't care that much. I really like the opening, a fruity red rose, but then the rose disappers on me and I am left with a juicy passionfruit peach fruit bowl. A very nice fruit bowl indeed, somewhat similar to middle notes of Kiki, but still a fruit bowl, a far too expensive one. The longevity is extremely good though and so is projection but the cost is not.

Try for Damask rose. Rozy EdP (I think the image on this page if for VdE though) isn’t a down the line ‘rose’ scent as such but it is very much a perfume that relies on the virginal and carnal aspects of the flower. Opening with bright notes of lilac and peach and finishing with an animalic sense of sweat the silky Damask rose lies at the heart of the formula where it’s presented with ripe fruits and honey.

Rozy — a scent inspired by 1950’s actress Anna Magnani, known as the “She-Wolf” for her passionate performances — opens with a liquored aldehydic rose, very retro glamour, and then quickly gets dusty and musky. It’s a cloud of slightly-peachy warmth and dry darker mossiness. A few minutes in, Rozy is dominated by cooling, sharp-green tarragon against the mossy-earthy backdrop. On me, Rozy is a rose chypre, emphasis on the chypre — it’s all about deep mossy forest greens with a bit of aldehydic & animalic bite. We’re firmly in femme fatale territory: a style of classic glamour that comes with raw sensuality and a mean streak. half an hour in, Rozy relaxes and actually starts to become rosy — or, rather, has a rose/amber/peach phase, warm and skin-like and expansive. I think I do sense a bit of passionfruit here as well; there’s a tart, purplish fruity facet alongside the soft peach. As fruit, rose, and ambery-musky warmth intersect the green moss, the effect is symphonic and glorious. The far drydown is a hazy, skin-like amber-peach-moss, a comfortable sort of sensuality that stays with you all day. Rozy reminds me a bit of Chypre Palatin (another niche fruity/green chypre with a retro-glamour sensibility) but Chypre Palatin is much more aggressive and high-contrast — its greens are sharper, its fruits jammier, its base darker. Rozy is a holistic blend. Its sharp edges are tamed into loving warmth. The other natural comparison point for a peachy chypre is Mitsuoko, but Rozy is from a totally different planet: Mitsuoko has a tender, sweetly spiced, peach-and-cinnamon thing going on, and even at its mossiest it’s rather sentimental in spirit. Rozy is spice-free, much drier, and never loses its edge.

Vero Rozy (2014) - passionfruit rose - #verokern gets inspired from Guerlain’s Nahema in developing this beautiful rose fragrance. At the start, reminds me of Nahema’s frenetic whirlwind of florals, fruity accords, green stems, and moss. This one settles down to a lush Rose meets Passionfruit and Peach. Fret not, it is thankfully not sweet, but dewy and fresh. Animalic Honey, Iris and Lilac create a rich and opulent backbone on a Sandalwood, Moss, and White musk base. Powerful, confident yet mysterious.
