Rose De Mai

I really don’t think you can do better than this currently for a ‘pure’ rose perfume. Even better offerings in this genre from the likes of Guerlain and Diptyque I find to be somewhat lacking in personality. This is simple and straightforward without being boring. A lifelike and life-full rose, with a particularly prominent tea facet in the opening (hardly surprising given the perfumer behind this!)

An impressively photorealistic rose in all its natural nuances, including some green and earthy facets. Geranium isn't overpowering and it adds vivacity to the opening. But, of course, the ross is the real protagonist here! A very dense and concentrate rose, with an 'oily' texture. Even if I am not an expert by any means, I bet there is some natural component here.

Interesting rose with herbal and minty undertones. It definitely has a jammy side, but it also mixed with something metallic that makes it a bit sour for my nose. It’s quite realistic, even though I think that actually Rosa Centifolia has slightly sweet and powdery aspects which I can feel in here.

This is a realistic soliflore of the delicate & watery Rosa × centifolia, a bit different from the popular Rosa × damascena that we typically associate "rosy" with!

Rose de Mai by Perris Monte Carlo is beautiful pale pink soliflore rose scent. I find frageance from this house an attempt to recreate the most natural scent as possible.
