The masculine rose
So many brands trying to market the next big thing as "a masculine rose" this and that.. in my very personal and humble opinion this has already been done in the past and this fragrance is one of very few of them. The first time I smelled it, so many years ago, I had a medicinal feel from it and despite having acquired it only recently it has been growing on me secretly over these years. I happened that not so long ago I tried it again in the store and I was baffled by how good was the aroma I was getting: fresh leather, still a little of that medicinal undertone and very light smoke, then it popped into my mind so clearly: this openness, this breeze is coming from a rose accord! Of course I should have noticed it earlier but back in the day I knew rose was there and it just blended in like in many woody orientals, let's call them this way. Too bad on my skin the rose shines too much, and therefore I wish to test the "flankers" (arabie, maroc etc..) to see if they lean even more into that perfect middle ground this is already very close to.
