At first, the rose didn’t really click with me, and now I’m confirming it: I’m not a huge fan of that kind of flower. It’s a fresh, simple, slightly spiced scent that feels quite natural. As it dries down, it becomes sweeter and more vanilla-like, losing some of that initial freshness. I see it as a good pick for transitional seasons, perfect for staying in and enjoying the rose, though it leans feminine. It doesn’t smell synthetic or cheap; it has its followers, but just doesn’t work for me.

I liked it. It opens with a saffron-infused rose, fresh ginger, and vanilla that sweetens everything. It has that dusty rose touch and the creamy woody vibe of sandalwood, maybe with a hint of cardamomo at the start. It’s a linear, gourmand-floral fragrance that’s sweet and creamy, more suited for her than him, but the longevity is a bit short. I find it versatile, perfect for spring, autumn, and winter, both day and night. Longevity is moderate and the sillage is soft.

I like it. It starts with a saffron-infused rose, with ginger adding freshness and vanilla sweetening the whole thing. It has that dusty rose touch and the creamy woody character of sandalwood. Maybe a touch of cardamomo at the opening. It’s a fairly linear, gourmand-floral fragrance, sweet and creamy, more feminine than masculine, but the performance is quite weak. I think it’s versatile: for spring, autumn, and winter, day and night. Longevity is moderate and the sillage is soft.

A technical blog mentions clove. I, for two or three hours blind, picked up a eugenol tone associated with carnations or cloves that I’m not a fan of. Also, I’ve always struggled to detect saffron well, especially when it’s paired with leather, though that’s not the case here. The first hours are quite spicy, with a bit of a kick I assume comes from the ginger. Regarding the saffron, with sharp nuances, something dirty, earthy, and slightly camphorated leather… yes, those things are there, and it’s definitely not my favorite note. Over time, very pleasant floral notes emerge; given the pyramid, I can associate them with the rose: very juicy and full of life, but they don’t last long until the base kicks in, where everything gets sweeter (though I don’t clearly catch the vanilla or sugar) and becomes a bit soapy. A perfumer noted that sandalwood distillation yields byproducts that add soapy nuances, and since sandalwood is listed, some of that might be present. We know sandalwood can be straighter and woodier (like dark oud or Santal Majusculum) or milky and creamy, but here it doesn’t turn woody. It’s not bad and lasts much longer than the strips claim, but I still don’t see it as a fit for me.
