Pink Rose & Sensuous Musk

Pink Rose & Sensuous Musk is the house's ode to rose, though not the old-fashioned tea rose. The idea is to wrap the rose in a light, fresh top and a soft, enveloping base. It opens with sparkling lemon and lime and a touch of peach. The heart is a radiant blend of pink rose, magnolia and frangipani. Underneath, a dark, seductive base of musk, amber and precious woods does the work the house says gives the scent its magic. Wearers call the rose inoffensive, fresh, slightly green and dewy, and one finds it reminiscent of Chloe Eau de Parfum but less harsh. Another is won over by the sweetness that stops the rose being overwhelming and calls it delightful on a paper strip, but finds it powerful and, after a while on skin, too much, so a light hand is advised. A third finds it very subtle and feminine, and a fourth sees a perfume for a date. Reports on strength therefore differ, while wear time and trail are described as moderate and not the longest or strongest. It is a feminine floral for spring and summer days and for evenings out, easy to wear if you like a modern, fruity-fresh rose rather than a heavy, petal-soaked one. It is made by hand in the UK by a small London house.
