Eau De Protection Tester

YUMMMMM i cant help but LOVEEEE turkish rose perfume and eau de protection is such an elegant and fresh rose found in the woods. the ginger and bitter orange add so much warmth and brightness and turkish rose is REALLY complimented by the jasmine and heliotrope which i think is what gives this nature esque smell to the rose, like i found a bush just growing randomly in a field of flowers. it reminds me of a perfume my cousin had when we were kids and i would spend so much time smelling myself whenever she let me spray it. this really is such a quite, wise take on turkish rose and im very fond of how unisex this scent is as a whole even with a defining rose scent, the only thing that i dont like about this perfume is the fact she doesnt last as long as some of the others in their discovery set, but someday ill find a long lasting turkish rose. i know ill be quite sad when i use this 2ml bottle all up

Great experience and fun to sample, but I'm not sure if this is a great perfume. The initial concept caught my attention, the idea of going back to the magical and religious origins of perfume to create a spell for protection - super cool. Rose has always been a famous flower, from a symbol of love, to a natural manifestation of god's work in the world, to showing through layered bloom how spiritual wisdom unfolds. The initial rose, I think, although in my opinion a tad overwhelming, is spectacular. It's a true rose, with an environment around it that amplifies its voice rather than competes with it. Creating this magical, classic "cloaking" effect that truly does feel protective. Unfortunately, it was not long-lasting and the rose quickly dies out in less than an hour and a half. It did grant me many compliments however, through its short life.

Interesting fragrance. It is defined as having a "blood accord", which is genuinely strange. Blood and rose combo? Certainly original, and from that can understand why someone would describe the frag as "gothic". Ironically enough, the first time I wore this one out was on the way to get a piercing at a tattoo shop. It is a unique take rose, and despite the florals in this fragrance I'd say it's quite unisex. The citrus and pepper top notes contrast in an interesting way with the florals, as the citrus is nearly as dominant as the rose note. The only listed note that doesn't really come through for me is probably the tonka bean.

A fizzy and fresh top of citrus ginger and pepper over deep, red rose jam; with a sexy , earthy and authentic herbal patchouli trail. An invigorating but deep, sexy, velvet rose. It's like a bubbling, crisp gin moscow mule being sipped on by a Nikki Lane doppelganger, who's dotted herself with patchouli essential oil. A big, fragrant bouquet of summer roses sits on the table. It is so comforting, pretty, and unique. I'll always love this type of rose profile with patchouli; will ✨always✨ have a decant of this, Lady Vengeance Extreme, Eau Capitale, or Portrait of a Lady in rotation at any given time.

I don’t love rose, but I do love chypres. And boy do I love this rose chypre. Very rose-centric. A powdery rose elevated by zesty ginger and bright bergamot. It’s a beautifully crafted composition. Aromatic. A bit peppery. Soapy. Not so sweet. I can’t quite place the scent memory it gives me. Maybe the Avon Skin So Soft bath oil my mom kept in the house in the ‘80s. Eau De Protection is exquisite. Intriguing. Dark, dense, earthy, and vampy. In the same glorious vein as mossy (but much less rosy) chypre-florals Cartier La Panthère and Diptyque Eau Capitale.
