The rose imitation here is quite clean and radiant, with citrus and light berry notes, but a scent of dried herbs and a slight soapy note are added to it. Personally, I lack the velvety smoothness and depth for a complete illusion of a fresh rose. But if I didn't know this was a natural fragrance, I wouldn't say it was exclusively so: pure radiance, harmoniously chosen accords, and a neat balance - everything's in place. Yeah, maybe it's a bit boring, but nobody promised me fireworks and complexity. They promised rose and aromatherapy - and here they are, right in front of me 🌹
Now for the positive points. The scent is very natural, the bottle design is pleasing to the eye and nice to hold. I detect the freshness of garden greenery, a slightly tart geranium, and a young, slightly sour rose with leaves and stems. Overall, it's a truly pleasant and delicate fragrance that people around me notice and comment on: 'Something smells nice' If it were just a bit more long-lasting, it would be simply perfect!
