I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses...
In the first moment discreet powdery iris, noble, without the stale thing that iris often has for me, it could be one of the fine, discreet newer Diors, one of those that don't seem watered down at the same time. Then there's a little freshness factor, like from lemon balm, which quickly turns into the typical rose geranium, which in turn fades into the background, becoming a natural, lush rose with a geranium background. I like this.
It's a quiet fragrance, one that doesn't demand, one you can just let yourself go with, uncomplicated and natural, despite the combination of iris and rose, which usually reminds me of old ladies, not elderly or even stuffy, as I usually find iris easy.
Just as I've never been a fan of Bon Jovi's music, the iris-rose combination has never been mine. The song and the scent have even more parallels: They start rather soft and then become powerful, both offer no surprises but live on their good "sound" and are solidly composed through. Both come from the USA, both seem boring to me quickly, seem to lack anything special. But sometimes something simple and straightforward does a lot of good. Sometimes I can listen to such an old, but not stuffy, tearjerker like Bon Jovi's "Bed of Roses" after all, just switch off and feel good.
The geranium, instead of which I would have liked with perhaps more real rose or more of this beautiful iris, makes the fragrance for me an 8. That is also for Bon Jovis songs with me the very highest of feelings. But sometimes, especially in stressful times, both the song and this fragrance are exactly what does good.
After about 7 hours, everything is gone and a fine heliotrope veil appears, which lasts for more hours. Also nice.
