Wax and Thyme? these are the impressions I get from the tester that Puck1 had surprised me with (thank you!) before I applied the product
Well, it's not quite right after spraying on, apart from the fact that the true prelude is Durga-like as well, it means: It goes straight to the point. The thought of embers from spicy wood may fit, although after several tests I personally think of something that has already cooled down. And neat resin.
I also sense a rough base, which Patchouli will have a certain share in. I am sure of my cause because my wife (the Patchouli sniffer dog par excellence) in the afternoon expressed her unfortunately unavoidable judgement "cat piss". In addition a light resinous white smoke note - Elemi?
In the course of one or two hours, the smoky impression diminishes to an accentuated resinous one. I suspect, with which temporal dimensions I get to deal with it, because only very slowly, at first alone on the skin, makes itself the legend-we-Rose noticeable. If you want to call her that. Unsupported I would have typed on a contribution of scrubby Petitgrains.
What do I do with the cubeb pepper, which the dear water lily had particularly emphasized in her text? Hmm. I had a look at Mr. Schuhbeck's shop in the big Hanseatic city. Before my perfume days I hadn't even registered the shop, although it's been around for about ten years; now it's a fragrance presence library when it comes to spices.... It was imperative, at least as a component to be emphasized, that at least the type of cubeb pepper to be eaten there did not seem to me to be there.
Back to the rose: It's not until around noon that I can imagine a real representative of her kind; alienated, distorted. "Bitter" it would actually hit. Rather, however, I am thinking of sour resin with an addition of citrus astringency - and thus connect with the Petitgrain idea from above. I would never have thought on my own that this perfume could be named after Rose. During the afternoon a trace of mitigation creeps in. Nevertheless, it remains sour, the already expressed Vetiver hypothesis is not only plausible, but to underline. Besides it can be admittedly assumed other resinous-green stuff, with which it goes characterful and strongly into the evening.
Even clearer than with the sibling fragrance "Pale Grey Mountain, Small Black Lake" are also beyond the banal obvious cases - here: "The "burning embers", "molten iron" - individual fragrance notes more than just ingredients that might have to be ticked off. Mentions like "thistle (I don't know how it smells anyway!), clover or larch are parallel to it conceptual mood transporters.
And that works. Moreover, the listed aroma framework - strangely enough - does not seem to be mannered or even ridiculous at all. This will be due to the fact that Bitter Rose, Broken Spear, like its relative, is a successful and high quality product.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a rose fragrance, you are wrong about "Bitter Rose", but you should still try it. And everyone else, please test anyway.
