Shrill Aquatic "Rose" or A Drastic Change in Perception
Spring has found me craving light rose soliflores yet again, and so I dug Saks En Rose out from the bottom of my sample pile. Vaguely remembering having written a favorable review of it elsewhere a couple years ago, I swathed myself in the jus.
Ouch! The initial blast of SeR immediately made me think of all those poor paint thinner riddled "Morillas for Bvlgari" florals: intensely chemical, calone-laden, and not nearly smart enough to try concealing their apparent "out of one vat" origins.
It does get somewhat better within the first hour, the light spicyness comes through, etc, etc. But it's still a thouroughly boring one dimensional petty little lab creation, kinda sweet, kinda fresh, kinda pink and with not a single real rose in sight. It wouldn't be too far fetched an idea to also bottle it as Omnia Rose, Miss Dior Fraiche Pink and a hundred other borderline detergent scents for all I know.
