High Flower For Women

High Flower opens fresh and green, a tart blackcurrant and a flick of verbena giving lift, before its real subject blooms: a dewy Turkish rose, the kind that smells like a bouquet of fresh wet roses, exactly the soft realism that makes Pure DKNY A Drop of Rose so likeable. Soft magnolia rounds the heart while a gentle base of cedar and vanilla adds quiet, sweet warmth, keeping the whole thing light rather than old-fashioned. The original is loved for its fresh, romantic, undetectable-sophistication but runs delicate with modest 4-to-6-hour longevity and close projection; this dupe stays true to that gentle, everyday character - perhaps a touch sweeter, with similarly intimate sillage. A pretty, romantic spring-and-summer rose for casual days, the office and easy dates.
