  I also received a sample, which is a plus. Honestly, as often happens with Kurkdjian, it didn’t say much to me. It reminded me a lot of L’Ombre dans L’eau by Diptyque, maybe too much. The Kurkdjian starts with sharper, pleasant citrus notes, but they fade in a breath. Like the Diptyque, it dries down to a green rose scent, though without the blackberry, making it less interesting but kinder. It’s less ‘wild’ and fails to capture that magical rose garden vibe that Diptyque has. Then balsamic and resinous notes emerge, but they’re too faint and undefined. Performance was terrible—testing the sample on my neck three times yielded very low sillage and longevity of only 4-5 hours, completely skin-scent after half an hour. It felt less complex and charismatic than the Diptyque, which wins on every count. Bottom line: it left me quite cold.

  The sample arrived and I’m grateful. As usually happens with Kurkdjian, it didn’t say much to me. It reminded me a lot of Diptyque’s L’Ombre dans l’eau, perhaps too much. Just that here the opening is more citrusy, sharp, and pleasant, but it lasts a breath. Like Diptyque’s, it dries down to a green rose, but without blackcurrant, making it less interesting and more agreeable. It doesn’t generate that wonderful rose garden sensation that Diptyque achieves. Then, the balsamic notes come in too faintly. The performance is very poor: with the sample it lasted three times, with low sillage and 4-5 hours longevity, totally skin-scent after half an hour. It seemed less complex and charismatic than Diptyque’s, which wins in everything. It left me quite cold.

  Rose and bergamot slightly powdery. Nothing memorable and nothing like L’Ombre dans l’eau.

  I’m stunned by this luxury snobbery. I know I’m boring about prices, but 250 euros/100 ml makes no sense. It’s a good perfume with quality and longevity, but it doesn’t stand out or have spectacular creativity. It reminds me of the perfumer’s work on Mr. Burberry: the acidic bergamot, the softener-like silky rose, and herbal nuances like mint. You can see the technical skill with ambroxan and cardamom, and it even smells like orange blossom. The qualities are better, but it’s more volume than quality. A pretty perfume with power, but I can’t support the price.

  A coquettish aromatic infusion, floral and aquatic. It has a serious floral cleanliness, as if the image of the flowers is desaturated: it’s still beautiful but with a concrete elegance. It’s a subtle masculine floral, like a tempered chamomile. It’s a game between the feminine and the masculine that never really existed, which is why I find it lovely. The unisex concept made into fragrance.

  A nice masculine rose refreshed with bergamot and aquatic tones. I love pairing rose with acids, like I did with Gucci’s Guilty (rose and balsamic vinegar). It sounds like a salad, but the result is elegant and attractive. Kurkdjian mixes rose with the bitter acidity of bergamot and it’s equally beautiful. I don’t seek clichés, but I’d wear this in summer with a white shirt… or whenever I feel like it!

  I’m not a huge rose fan, but this scent caught me off guard. Forget the spring garden; here you get a fleshy rose with stem and intense depth. I love that perception—it feels green and damp, giving it a masculine edge. I won’t dwell on the evolution; I just like how it smells. I think it works year-round and is versatile. It lasts several hours, more than six, and projects decently. The price is standard for the house. I wouldn’t buy it, but it’s a very pleasant option for dressing up, conveying elegance and maturity.

  I wasn’t a rose fan and didn’t expect much, but it surprised me in a positive way. It’s not a fresh spring garden rose; it’s fleshy, with stem and intensity. It feels green and damp, very masculine. I can smell it well; it’s versatile for all seasons. It lasts more than six hours and projects decently. The price is the house’s usual; I wouldn’t buy it, but it’s a pleasant option that denotes elegance and maturity.

  Pure genius! It’s polished, cheerful, and elegant, with that wet rose and petal water note balancing the bergamot and musk. The master has done magic: the citrus gives the rose a glow without stealing its spotlight. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but those who appreciate it know their perfumes. It transports me back to the 19th century, when wearing perfume was a luxury and the rose was queen for all.
