To me, this scent smells exactly like rose locum with powdered sugar on top and a hint of rose liqueur. It's sweet and alcoholic-powdery. That's all it is: the scent develops rather linearly and remains pretty much unchanged from start to finish. But is it beautiful! Ever since I first tried this fragrance a few years ago, I've been in love. Because of the price, I was looking for a cheaper alternative, but didn't find one. I am now happy to have this beautiful bottle in my collection. The durability and sillage match the price: on clothes or hair, the perfume lasts until you wash it.

It starts with the typical rose oil scent / Bulgarian rose. I was almost disappointed, but then the fragrance develops into a soft lipstick rose, cosmetic, powdery with vanilla. Lady-like and elegant, I found no trace of revenge (vengeance): I don't think this fragrance would shock anyone. From the JHAG collection it was close to Mmmm... for me: both are cosmetic-powdery, but Mmmm... with dark and red berries, and Lady Vengeance with rose

In the beginning I smell the black currants the strongest, but they are not sweet or gourmand. You can imagine if you took the skin from the currants, which tastes rather sour and tart, crushed them in a zinc bucket and threw a few roses over them. The fragrance has a strong synthetic note, which sounds metallic to me and, frankly, gets on my nerves. Don't buy blind! You have to like that kind of thing. I think it's more of a "love it or hate it" scent

Although peaches are in the notes, The One (EdP) smells more like apricot jam to me. The scent is sweet, but is made lighter by the floral notes. Sometimes the lily of the valley comes to the fore - I wonder if that depends on the weather? I also smell something fresh like menthol in the background. The eau de toilette is more scratchy for me compared to the EdP, I can smell more flowers, especially the lily. Personally, I love the EdP. The scent is really cozy and doesn't bother me when I wear it every day (moderately applied of course). The shelf life is more than 6 hours (depending on weather and place of application)

My first impression was rather negative: the scent seemed too sweet and "chemical", more like a cheap perfume. But that changed after I applied the perfume to the warm spots (neck, chest). The fragrance really needs the warmth to develop properly! In the beginning it smells like red and purple jelly babies: fruity, but not like real fruits or berries, but imitating them. Then the scent develops in the powdery-cosmetic direction. It is comfortable for the cold days, sits rather close to the skin and does not disturb. Lasts long, especially on the hair: I could smell the fragrance well the next day.
