Peppery Woods
I was rather circumspect about buying this perfume, but when I saw a second hand half-bottle for sale on eBay for £5 including postage, I felt it was worthwhile to sample this. I am a self-confessed rose lover! Roses are regal, sweet and fragrant. With the talk of a possible urinous note, I wasn't sure what to expect of CHARM ROSE.
Upon first application this is a slightly juicy, peppery wood. I can vaguely make out some sort of rose, but it is extremely faint. I was surprised to see that there is no pepper listed in the notes here as this has a very pronounced peppery quality to it. I can only assume that it is the rosewood that is mimicking black pepper to some degree. The clementine nectar is evident as a juicy, vague orange within the pepper. I am pleased to report that I get no urinous quality at all, but I can understand that the peppery rosewood and clementine could simulate the pungency of ammonia.
To be honest this is a bit of a weird perfume. It neither has a strong enough rose note for me to understand why it is called "Charm Rose", nor is it pleasant enough for me to want to wear it again. I usually enjoy woody perfumes, pepper is good in a lot of fragrances and fruits and roses should make this a big winner. But it misses being pleasant, it is just totally strange. I'm glad that this was so cheap as I shan't be wearing it and shall definitely try and fob it off on someone else.
CHARM ROSE is the loner in the corner of the diner that doesn't want to mix with anyone. This loner is rather odd and isolated, they keep themselves to themselves and don't make many friends.
