Sweet violet-rose-berries mix
Glam rose opens with a blast of sweet violets and berries, backed by a pink rose. Right from the start it screams femininity - that of an ambitious young lady who knows how to get the job done, but also knows how to let her hair down and live it up. To my nose, there's even something almost nutty about it even though that doesn't fit any of the listed notes. I'm not sure where that's from.
Very quickly, suede pops up on me in the background and helps to tone down the sweetness a little. It becomes a little powdery with more violets and lychee with some jasmine. Rose is still just a backing note here.
As it fades away, it becomes a bit deeper and slightly woody. The sweetness is barely noticeable as the musk makes it a skin scent.
I suppose one would consider violets and rose an old-fashioned combo, but I don't think Glam Rose was old-fashioned at all. It wasn't as glamourous as I hoped it would be, but it's definitely a vibrant fume. It's light and joyful and just all-around a very easy fragrance to wear.
Sillage wasn't anything to shout about, with pretty poor lasting power on me (around 2 hours in total).
