Wet dewy roses

I have been wearing Happ & Stahns Rose Alba 1842 for two years now and I am not the slightest bit tired of it. It’s silky, bright, and a bit sexy. The first spritz is a clean, green rose with lots of grapefruit. The dry down is a muskier, amber forward rose. With good longevity and decent silage, the Victorian style tear catcher bottle will last for some time. This is a perfume I keep buying because it’s simply a lovely scent for day or night in any season. I also think Rose Alba 1842 has a very broad range for age appropriateness.

Sprayed this on absentmindedly while at Antropologie and 10 minutes later was blown away. It started off rather green and I thought “oh ok. another one of those generic smelling roses” but as time went on it truly blossomed and bloomed into a gorgeous vintage tea rose with tinges of shimmering gold lining the petals. It’s one of the most intoxicating scents; a richly romantic floral with fruity undertones of citrus and tea. It’s absolutely glittering and magical, one of my new favourite rose scents.
I’ve smelled some of the most beautifully scented roses in New Zealand and was inwardly lamenting how I never found a rose perfume to seriously rival mother nature but now I think that Rosa Alba 1842 honestly comes quite close.

This smells sooo beautiful. I love rose scents and have many but there is something special about this one. It’s not stuffy, and it’s not all a pure rose, it’s quit clean smelling. Smells like what all lovely young girls should smell like, very lady like. The drydown has a vintage feel to it like Zephyrae13 stated. It’s very light and sheer, this might possibly be my new favorite rose scent. It’s in such a lovely bottle, the downside is that it doesn’t last at all.

I must say, this isn’t at all my style, but I just Had to sniff it! Very dewy green powdery rose, but I’m not getting any kind of kick. it definetly has a vintage feel to it; but more updated. Not your grandma’s rose that’s for sure, but it is an ode to it. If you like any of the following, vintage, rose, powdery, feminine sheer florals, you will surely like this. Well made too, but just not my cup of tea.

I am bored with simple, ladylike rose perfumes, and this one just kind of gets dumped into the pile with the likes of Stella and Rose The One. I do get hints of wisteria and some refreshing tea, but all-in-all, this is a clean and relatively sheer perfume that has been done too many times before. It’s like a fresh white or maybe yellow rose. My favorite simple rose perfume has always been Crabtree & Evelyn’s rose, for that clean rosewater effect. This would make a good replacement, as I heard that Crabtree & Evelyn changed their formula. What a beautiful little bottle! It’s just as pretty in real-life.

I saw the pincushion bottle on Pinterest and knew I had to have it. The actual perfume was secondary, but I read reviews – all of which were glowing. The reviewers talked about its “rose scent with an edge,” and since I like florals and chypre florals I figured I might like it.
I must warn that I measure all rose scents against my favorite rose scent, Yves St. Laurent’s Paris, so at first I was slightly disappointed in the slight “cologne bite” of this rose. “I won’t like this,” I thought, but since I’d bought it for the bottle it was no big deal.
Well, it’s almost a week later and I’m spraying it on every day. Somehow I’ve grown to really, really like this perfume. Sometimes the rose predominates, other times the wisteria comes through (although to me it’s more of a hint of gardenia).
I would not call this a feminine-girly scent at all – it is truly a “rose with an edge” or “rose with attitude.”
