The Rose

Recommended Posts

This starts off, as others have said, very green; sap, thorns, and just a hint of a not-fully-bloomed rose. As it dries on me it becomes more floral, which is a cool effect - like the rose blooming! - but unfortunately also goes rather soapy on my skin, and fades quite quickly. The green early stage creates an impressively vivid image and so I'll definitely keep the imp and I imagine I'll wear it at home sometimes, but it doesn't even come close to challenging Two, Five, & Seven for its spot as my favorite BPAL rose. I look forward to comparing it to Rose Red and Peacock Queen soon!

This reminds me a lot of Rose Red, but maybe not quite as dewy. The green of the stem is there right from the start. il In the imp was more just a light rose, fresh on skin the green stem comes through right alongside the scent of the rose itself.

 

The green fades more quickly than the rose, but the rose doesn't stay around very long after. It has maybe medium throw at the start and goes very light on the throw in about an hour, hour and a half. I think Rose Red maybe lasts a little longer? I'll have to try it to be sure.

 

I really like this one, I may get a bottle of it if I can't get a bottle of Rose Red when I want to buy that one.
