A Rosine Rose is a Rosine Rose by any other name...
It's pretty clear that the folks at Les Parfums de Rosine have a huge vat of rose juice from which they draw the base of every single one of their creations. Fortunately, it's a fine rose juice, which is why if one likes any of their perfumes, there's a good chance that one will like all of them, since many are only slight variations on the fundamental Rosine rose theme.
A case in point, DIABOLO ROSE opens with a very detectable peppermint and tea complex, which initially makes it seem as though the roses will not be in prominence in this particular composition. That impression proves within the course of an hour to have been false, as the rose rises again like a phoenix to dominate this perfume. The peppermint and the tea (maté is listed, by I find this "tea" less green and bitter...) pretty much evaporate away, leaving the Rosine rose juice behind. This entry in the line-up ends up being a short-lived variation on the theme.
DIABOLO ROSE is definitely nice for rose lovers and Rosine aficionados, in particular, but I think that some of the other variations offer longer-lasting embellishments than those presented here. By the drydown, one would be hard-pressed to identify any lingering traces of the non-rose components of this composition. Well, at least I find it difficult to do!
