A rose for Rasputin?
Both England's Queen Victoria and the last Russian Tsarina Alexandra loved "White Rose", the current acting Queen is said to have worn it even at her wedding. Three crowned heads could not have been wrong, so I ordered it blind. I couldn't find the eau de parfum, so I (not at all a nobleman) preferred the eau de toilette. The logistic handling until I was in possession of this little water I spare the one or other inclined reader. After the first sprayer, however, consternation took hold: was that all? For about a quarter of an hour I didn't smell anything, but then a nice creamy white rose scent developed. For about an hour the rose motörchen purred, then it started to stutter and died....logically, I had only bought the two-stroke instead of the four-stroke engine! Nevertheless I was disappointed. And with this harmless little rose water Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin was bewitched? After all, according to Boney M. "Lover of the Russian queen" (whatever). With this one did not even lure out a Barsoj behind a samovar!
It is undisputed that fragrance preferences have changed massively over time. It would never have occurred to a lady of the high nobility of the time to spray herself with fecal, urine or sweat-smelling perfumes, or other excesses of the fragrance industry.
But in fact a change happens to me when I wear "White Rose": my upper lip becomes stiff, I spread my finger while drinking tea and suddenly I speak in an ornate language. Fortunately for my surroundings, this does not last longer than an hour, as long as the fragrance lasts.
Whoever wants to feel "not perfumed", but clean and well-groomed, as well as a little distinguished, will certainly like this fragrance. In the long run it is a bit too bloodless for me. I am simply not a Romanov!
