Hiding first, then coming forward
Wild, untamed and not at all rosy – that’s how Akaroa Rose acts. The scent is meant as reminder of the first settlers on New Zealand and their rose gardens.
The first settlers were probably wild, brave women and men who had nevertheless a sense for beauty which was reflected in their well-kept rose gardens. The scent starts indescribably shrewd with an almost rubbery green note, a lot of leaves must be in here, surprises the nose. But that is only the boisterous entry. After a while this defensive act calms down and a beautiful rose comes forward. But still not pleasant or sweet as you expect it from a rose. Very faintly powdery and still keeping this unusual green note from the head, very pleasant.
Akaroa Rose is an unconventional rose scent which lingers a long time. Put on in the afternoon I could still discover the tender-wild rose faintly on my wrist the next morning.
