Perfumista

This perfume opens to a jammy, slightly powdery and fruity rose. The powder goes away quite soon, and the fruits fade into the background by the end of the 2nd hour. In the 2nd hour, hints of jasmine, patchouli, cedar, and balsam are there if you really dig your nose into it, but they are very faint. The perfume is predominantly a simple, musky rose until about the 4th hour, when the patchouli, balsam, and cedar becomes prominent enough to classify this scent as somewhat more than a bland musky rose perfume. However, even with the base elements coming out, rose is still the overwhelmingly dominant note, and it remains that way. The patchouli hear is warm and harmless, doesn't have the deep earthiness that is often associated with the note. The scent disappears after 7 hours.

A very plush glamour-puss of a rose with pronounced sillage, and a departure from Lebreton's atmospheric scents. A lipsticky, fully-bloomed, waxy rose... a little fruity to start, then growing richer and more wine-like. Some hints of green stems. Nothing loud, no shouting here. A soft patchouli base, discreet and well mannered. I could see this being someone's reference rose scent. About 6-7 hours of endurance. Surprisingly, I rather like it, despite not being much of a rose fan.
