Rose Magnetic

This is probably my first time smelling a fresh minty rose, it is a good scent, it is not as jammy as i expected it to be but it is a nice fresh scent for spring and summer but i will say this is by far perfect for spring, it is not as overwhelming and not very strong, it is a balanced rose with fresh mint, the mint gives it the fresh breeze that it needs and the rose adds elegance, i get less of that vanilla but i do get more of that tonka when it comes to the dry down, i do not get any lychee note to this nor citrus but i do get a little pinch of wood in there. And i will say this, good scent but not special enough for me, i have tried rose scents and there are BETTER alternatives to this, it is a good scent nonetheless, i think the price is not EXCEPTIONAL but rather fair for this kind of scent profile, this is 100% a female scent at the end of the day but we men can experiment all we like haha.

A really lovely fresh rose scent with an unusual quality of tanginess about it. Not a puckery tanginess like lemon, or peppery like pink pepper, both of which are often used in these lighter rose fragrances. I’m assuming it’s the litchee that gives it this quality and it’s very nice. The rose, although it’s not heavy, is a red rose and feels like a complete red rose, just a very see through version of one. There is a beautiful base of Tonka and wood that adds some dark shadows to this and that perfectly complements all the other notes. Contrary to the experience of other reviewers I have found this to project a lot and last a good 8 hours, when worn in hot weather. The value for money for this is excellent as well.

When you want a big, bold, complex rose, reach for Portrait of A Lady. Rose Magnetic is for those days where you want something uncomplicated. It's happy, light and linear. You get a bunch of spray roses that were properly stored until you waited to treat yourself with a bouquet. This is something you could easily spray for work, as the sillage and projection are very weak, and I imagine it would be great during the summer or after the gym. The roses are young and fresh, with some citrus notes. I also smell something that reminds me of white flowers, though it isn't specified. For the price, I don't see why not (less than $100).

There are so many rose dominant perfumes out there. Given that my name is Rose, I've always liked the idea of finding a signature rose perfume! Mostly though I don't love them as much as hoped. I find the lighter roses a bit thin or metallic, the heavier ones somehow don't smell like actual rose so much. I mean perfumes are always like that - you don't get the experience of the warm sun, or dew, scent of earth and the look and feel of roses and the whole context. Rose Magnetic is quite close, but there's a mucky synthetic in there. Maybe @koxayous (comment below) has correctly spotted in in the lychee note?

Essential Parfums Rose Magnetic is a pleasantly bright, tart, and semi-sweet rose with a varied supporting note cast of grapefruit, lychee, tonka, vanilla, peppermint, and musk, really one of the more splendid and somewhat unique fresh rose experiences I’ve had in recent years, and I find it very easily wearable while being striking and interesting. Really outstanding stuff, with the notes fitting together despite being frankly quite a bit odd as a group. Also, it performs fairly well, by no means a letdown, but it’s the scent itself that’s the standout.
