",,,you're perfection - goodness knows. You're my honeysuckle rose"...the lyrics of this wonderful old Fats WAller
song perfectly describe my opionion of this AN frag. From the bright opening through it's final hours the honeysuckle note (which, there doesn't seem to be any actual honeysuckle in it) takes me right back to my grandmother's flower garden in the summer. And there I blissfuly remain - with the trellis roses hovering in the back ground.

I think a big part of Annette Neuffler's perfuming genius lies in her musicianship...there's such a delicacy and nuance in the cadences of her fragrances...so evocative, so stirring.

Anyway - highly recommended!

Another beauty from Jazz Tweety...oddly the citrus didn't shine (on MY bod) as much as the saffron and the nice woods in the base. This will DEF be a summer fave...(my seven year old granddaughter crept up on me and said I smelled "Yummy! Like bubblegum!"...!!!

Insiders tell me that carnatiion is out of favor these days. Tant pis! (more for the rest of us loyal fans - you're listening to a girl who grew up on Bellodgia)

This beauty opened up ona slightly citrusy and floral note with the under-thrum of dusty carnation. I'm especially susceptible to labdanum which is present from top to bottom - a nice underpinning for the spiciness of the carnation and the hint of sandalwood. Trust JazzLady to reclaim a classic!

Low, thrumming along from beginning to end. A rounded sensuous bottom-of-the-garden rose shimmering in moonlight...need I say how much I love it.

A bit of background - I am a lady of a certain age with dry skin living in a mildly southern climate on the East Coast of the US. I love all things oriental - and I love roses. (Anyone remember La Rose Jacqueminot? It DID bring an entire department store to it's knees...) And I love ANYthing Jazz Lady puts her talents to.

Anyway, this saintly rose is going into permanent rotation in my collection - vive Annette Neuffer!
