First impressions
Actually, I only want to comment on a fragrance if I have been able to test it thoroughly. But since there are no rehearsals for these limited editions and I won't deal with them any more, I can only tell you about one single test.
I was already very curious about the scent and today I dieselled myself with it at the Douglas in the city.
The first impression was very fine, it starts with a dry iris note, similar to "Iris Nazarena". Immediately, however, the fragrance withdraws very much. Ambroxan enters the stage, then a light frankincense note and a delicate sweet-fruity note are added. That's it, no further progress and no development. The introduction of the synthetic note reminds me somewhat of "Armani Privé - New York". But what results in a round thing is rather hard and angular, almost fragmented. With me it has unfortunately also no creaminess.
Despite some sprayers I can hardly perceive the smell, it has no Sillage with me. The shelf life is given, now after about 7 hours it can still perceive easily, but I have to stick my nose to the skin, zero projection.
Just as the missing rose in the pyramid initially irritated me about the name (I now know that rose refers to the colour of the bottle), I am constantly lacking fantasy about the justification of the high price. I'm honestly disappointed, only my wallet's happy.

Edit October 2018: after wearing it many times and looking at it as a complete work, I like it quite much now, therefore the higher rating.
