Classic dusty rose

This is a wonderful, classic rose perfume from top to bottom.

It opens with fruity sweet peppery rose (perhaps due to the pimento) and then follows a path into a garden of Turkish roses and other well balanced florals while carrying the sweet hint of the top fruits and taming the peppery accents. The heart then dissolves into a rosy sweet sandalwood with very subtle hints of amber and musk. At least this is what happens on my skin.

This is a perfume for rose/floral lovers who can tolerate only hints of sweetness and like their rose dry, dusty, and unsweetened.

A fruity and peppery rose

I love the scent of roses, however my intense love for them often makes it difficult to find a rose fragrance to suit my tastes. Rykiel Rose is pretty, and thankfully not one-dimensional like some rose scents are, but in regards to what I like, it just misses the mark.

Rykiel Rose started off with a lot of potential. I really enjoyed the crisp and refreshing opening of sweet, pink roses and a touch of floral powderiness. It smelt very inviting and feminine, which are qualities I tend to admire. Unfortunately the heart signalled a spicy and peppery twist, which didn't sit too well on my skin.

The heart shows a more complex side to Rykiel Rose, with rather loud pimento and pomegranate accords. The composition becomes a little screechy and sharp for my liking. A hint of powderiness remains, but by this stage, it is barely detectable.

Although the rose is there, I wouldn't call it particularly dominant, so with that, I'm less likely to call this a rose soliflore. It would have been nice to smell more roses and perhaps less pepper.

I've always wanted to try this fragrance for some reason, so I am very grateful to have sated my curiosity at last. I nearly blind bought it a few years ago, but now I'm rather glad I didn't. I'm not a huge fan of the T-shirt bottle design either.

The drydown is pleasantly soft and a touch sweet. Sandalwood and white musk tend to calm the peppery accords, bringing this fragrance back to its feminine roots. I find Rykiel Rose suitable for all seasons, although I'd recommend it especially for Spring and Autumn.
