You’d think the scent would be at least campy, going by the name. It’s a 2010’s department store rose. A simpler Roses de Chloe. Or perhaps more boring, though Roses de Chloe was so boring that I can’t remember exactly how boring it even was.
(fwiw I do like the greener, L’Eau de Chloe – but only because it’s a more sensible sort of boring)
The problem I have with these scents is the shameful quantity of cashmeran/pink pepper; might as well make it one ingredient at this point. It reigns as base note, middle note, and top note too. Frankly, several minutes into this sort of scent and it’s a strain to remember what the other notes even were.
So along with the late 2010’s “base” of cashmeran and pink pepper, there is a slight hint of rose soap, which lingers through the early drydown. I can appreciate the angelica and bergamot, but I have to really think about them to do so. What do they add? – a dryness, a crisp slightly powdery refinement which keeps the scent from going full Victoria’s Secret. Whatever amount of galbanum is hidden in here, is pointless. And galbanum is usually a powerful, influential note!
So yes it’s pleasant, and an actual human probably signed off on it, but it’s not a $250 scent. I don’t even care that it’s a generous size. It’s a $20 rose musk. Even so it does stay true to itself; it would be a perfect office scent. Silk blouse and wholesome well-scrubbed meekness, with the “warm” modern edge of slight chemical imbalances(cashmeran) and mild neuroses(pink pepper).
One plus is its tenacity. It’s hard to make a carefree rose scent that lasts – I guess this would qualify, for those who can tolerate the chemical trickery.
