A vintage rose
Rosamund, the blonde and beautiful woman, was the one who won the heart of Henry II.
There are many legends that hover around her figure.
She will be the protagonist of poems, ballads and stories about her figure.
One of these says that Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen and wife of Henry, having learned that the two were lovers, forced Rosamund to drink poison.
Henry, heartbroken by the death of his beloved, planted magnificent roses, called Rosae Mundi, on her tomb.
This is a fragrance from other times, a rose that I would define as "tormented": clean, slightly pungent and dusty, but at times also dark and seductive.
The patchouli is not incisive, it accompanies it gently, and reminds of those wonderful perfumes that many women used to wear in the 60s and 70s.
And we know, when vintage is beautiful, it is always beautiful, regardless of the era.
Very classy, I really liked it.
