I really wanted to like this but just couldn't. It's such a bizarre experience for me. I can sense a sweet peachy candiedness that tries to emerge but never makes it because it's drowned out by an acetone-like aroma. I am a HUGE rose fan and ordered a decant but 1 year later it still smells like nothing more than a fragranced nail polish remover.
I had a sample, fell immediately in love, and then priced it online, ready to pull the trigger. Thankfully, I waited to purchase. This is gorgeous... but shy. Beautiful... but fleeting. I wish I could smell of this all the time, but it doesn't last long enough and becomes a skin scent all too soon.
An initial sweet, candied rose that bows out after a couple of minutes to strong, soapy aldehydes for at least an hour. Then, the aldehydes fade and peach steps in with a tickle of geranium with a shy rose in the background followed by gentle clove. The drydown is incredibly soft and very, very close to the skin. I find Mona's perfumes to be so incredibly subtle and well-blended after the first hour or two and they linger on and on... This is a thoughtful rose.
An aldehydish rose on me. But that's inside. Outside the rose shakes off some of her aldehydes and gets more, um, alive, with roots and leaves and a drop of sunlight filtering into the flower through the petals.
Ok I'm only about five minutes in,here...so ill likely return with a more informed review but I really just have to ask....did *anyone * else get a good quality blush wine, like right out of the bottle. Seriously, from the initial unstopping I felt like I was uncorking a crisp but juicy blush, the sort if wine with rosehips and white peach in the bouquet.after that first double -take -worthy waft, it seems the powder and sugared-petal components are making themselves known, but that winey opening actually made my mouth water! Never experienced that in a frag before ...anyone else? Or just me?
