roseus

Sniffing in the bottle this is so different from what I expected- but in a good way. I get that raw patchouli and oakmoss up front very green and forest-y and my brain instantly went "Christmas!" but there is just something evergreen about this in the bottle. I agree with zankoku_zen that (once on) there is a lightness and it smells like a bit like a fancy aquatic cologne. I can't pick out the other notes specifically but the whole package is really beautiful. It's been forever since I smelled Elf but my brain is making an association, it's a really ethereal and elegant forest-y scent.

Have you tried The Rose (GC)? It's red rose with the leaves and sap, but I find it doesn't have that chill of Rose Red that you described. Could be what you're looking for!

The scent is very confusing wet initially. Lots of citrus notes clamoring against the white florals and with the white musk it's a bit too sharp and busy and soapy. Thankfully it soon settles in, and the neroli stands out over the top of the rest of the notes with the lemon and bergamot trailing behind. It's bright and still smells very clean, more like breezy linens rather than soap at this point. As it settles further the musk, sandalwood, and gardenia round it out more. Very fresh and clean spring scent.

Wet this is deep musky rose with a sharp smoky smell that smells a bit like spent fireworks for a moment before turning into heady incenses. Soon it settles into a much more subdued smooth musk, with just a breath of dark roses over the top.

Super sugary vanilla. I get more jasmine than gardenia, and it is the very sweet smooth kind. The grapefruit really brightens the scent and makes it different from other vanilla hgs in my collection, it adds a lot of freshness. A very young and playful scent, it makes me think of dolls.

Man I wish I grabbed more than one bottle of this. Super luxurious scent. It's so complex and mysterious. The agarwood is sweetly smoky, and so smooth. The orchid is waxy and a bit humid. They meld beautifully.

To me this is a very delicate 'pouf' scent, it makes me think of old fashioned powder rooms and powder poufs, but without the scent itself being super powdery. I'm having a hard time picking out particular notes but vanilla and a bit of creamy coconut. It sort of bright, clean, and creamy, with a breath of floral.There is just the tiniest bit of powder on the edges of the scent, it's really nice and makes it sort of vintage but without the aldehydes.

Eternal Queen to me is a beachy floral - white gardenia and tuberose with ambergris accord, vegetal vanilla musk, bourbon vanilla, and amber incense

Clean, fresh green tea but I do not get any of the citrus brightness I normally do. The amber sweetens and warms the scent beautifully, and I get a touch of powdery softness from the sandalwood.

Very soft, fluffy coconutty snow. I get no flowers from this. But its that classic, comforting Yule scent, very snuggly.

Sappy green and sweet, fresh red rose. Cool-toned scent. Very good throw on this one.

Bright citrusy floral. Maybe white musk or white tea, with lemon and a white floral, I'm thinking gardenia but can't quite place it. It's surprisingly delicate,

A goregous, very earthy scent. I never tried green patch before and I like it quite a bit. It's very herbaceous and has a faint astringent edge. The mint pairs very well with it, and makes it very refreshing in the heat while not being a Yule-mint scent. Very complex with the other notes, and it reads very green to my nose but isn't just a garden or forest scent. It's very unique, haven't smelled anything quite like it before.

The main players in this scent on me are the vanilla and jasmine. It's creamy and sweet jasmine, very pillowy and like a cousin of La Prostitution et la Folie Dominent le Monde. Though with the white musk, and the greeness of the violet leaf and tea (very crisp, I think it might be white tea) make this very fresh.

Getting white musk for sure, and maybe a touch of dry, astringent lavender. It reminds me vaguely of Ode on Melancholy wet. I get that dusty herbal quality of chamomile as well. I love, jasmine, but not sure I get any here. Dry it's a dusty soft sort of herbal, but there is something high pitched and astringent that lingers on me.

Scents like cherry and strawberry generally are too sweet for me, and in the vial I thought this was going to be no exception. However when sprayed he cherry took on more of its life-like qualities, sweet but with a hint of bitterness. The sugar is tempered somewhat and the peppercorn adds a perfumey edge. Still not quite me, but surprisingly complex.

Very sweet wet, made me think of a orange blossom bubblegum. As it sits for minute the rose starts to come out, and I get honey with a bit more depth rather than just overwhelming sweetness. Dry it softens considerably, being mostly soft, dusty sandalwood with a haze of sweet florals around it.

Really loving the deep, rich vanilla in this. Not generally a fan of strawberry, but this is really pleasant. Definitely more candy than actual fruit but not weirdly artificial. I agree with Pixie-elf, it's like a grown up Strawberry Shortcake

A really beautiful, soft atmo. So many flowers but none of them overwhelming, just like strolling through a garden in full bloom. I can definitely pick out some sweet pea, and the cool, airiness of the orchid. There is something that gives a clean, fresh touch as well.

Such a fantastic rich honey! The carnation is really spicy in this one, and balances the sweetness very nicely.

I too am getting a bit of a honey floral incense vibe, but not burning incense more that sweet, sort of powdery smell of the stick. The wildflower honey is rich and sweet and exactly what I hoped for. We have a lot of broomflower here (gorse) and I'm getting that sweet-coconutty floral scent. It mixes well with the gardenia, and the scent doesn't go too tropical or heady. Iris/orris doesn't generally do well on my skin, but here it is just a soft powdery (in a nice way) touch.

Ooof I love this! The honey musk is gorgeous, rich and creamy in the way beeswax is and not overly sweet. The green tea is fabulous, a lot green teas in perfume are bright and citrus-y, which is great at times but sometimes I crave the deeper, warmer true-to-life scent. This is much more the latter. Maybe the blackberry leaf helps it out? There is a light sweet almost softly floral scent in the background, mysterious and hard to place. Very fae.

Very cozy, warm pillowy marshmallow coconut scent. Not too sweet or tropical. I get just a tiny bit of cedar and creamy lilac at the end. Dreamy scent.

Fresh this is very sweet, clean, and watery, smells a bit like the plumeria in Dirty. As it dries it becomes more about the water, darker and the slightest bit salty. Lots of grassy greens notes with a refreshing bitterness. Gets a bit intense for a moment, almost soapy. As it settles further it lightens up a bit, gets breezier with some light springy florals.

The vanilla is so billowy and gorgeous, reminds me a bit of the one in the recent Antique Lace. I don't get impressions of smoke but I do get a bit a freshness from moss, and I want to say I get a bit of soft sandalwood and bergamont? There is certainly something deep and sophisticated beneath the vanilla, which is like PrinceofcatS said - a veil overtop it all. Had a good, but gentle throw on me all day.
