The Forgotten Ombre Rose
I stumbled upon a partially used bottle of Ombre Rose Fraiche on Ebay a few years back and seeing that nobody was bidding, I managed to snap up a bottle of this discontinued scent for next to nothing. Over the course of a few summers I used Ombre Rose Fraiche frequently, delighting in its fresh, crisp interpretation of the original Ombre Rose.
Ombre Rose Fraiche is predominantly dewy pink roses, green melon and sweet lily of the valley on my skin. The melon note can sway you either way, you either love it or loathe it. I think it's the very first time I've come across such a fruity rose scent.
Jean Charles Brosseau released this fragrance with the sole intention of marketing it to fans of the popular original, Ombre Rose. However Ombre Rose Fraiche is not similar to Ombre Rose in any shape or form. I think this may have partly been the reason why Ombre Rose Fraiche was such a short-lived, rarely spoken of flanker. Perhaps this scent was too daring, and that's possibly why I enjoy it so much. Ombre Rose Fraiche smells like a niche rose to my nose, not unlike scents from the house of Les Parfums de Rosine.
The only unfortunate aspect of Ombre Rose Fraiche was its tendency to turn fast, although I stored it correctly away from light and heat. I don't expect to ever stumble upon a bottle of this fragrance in my lifetime ever again.
