Baby Pink Roses
Harrods Rose is most definitely for women. It's very fresh and feminine on my skin. Not entirely rose, (as there is a rather dominant tuberose accord throughout), but nevertheless a rich and somewhat exquisite floral composition.
The rose in this fragrance is clean, rather like the scent of an old-fashioned, rose scented bar of soap. There's a slight creaminess, which I believe is the tuberose shining through, and a hint of fruitiness too, perhaps the scent of pureed pears.
I find it elegant for the most part, but it does have this underlying sense of girlishness and frivolity. Despite the lack of fruits listed in the scent pyramid, Harrods Rose does have a fruity feel, which would certainly appeal to the younger generations. You could say that the bottle represents how this fragrance smells.
I personally prefer my roses much richer and deeper, however this lighter and crisper interpretation isn't necessarily disappointing. Ambrette, which is a note that I sometimes find difficult to love, creates this smooth muskiness from the heart onwards. The overall feeling that I get from smelling Harrods Rose, is that it's fun and it's meant to be enjoyed. Sweet pink roses, with musk, pear and tuberose, all combine to create a scent that is not sexy nor sophisticated, but has an undeniable girlish charm.
The lasting power is more than reasonable, lasting a good six or so hours. I was initially drawn in by the cutesy, baby pink coloured packaging, knowing full well that light rose scents aren't usually my thing. I am impressed, but admittedly not blown away. I will happily use up my sample, but I doubt I would give up my cold, hard cash to buy a full bottle.
