Les Parfums de Rosine has introduced Rose Praline, “a rose to crunch”:
We imagine silk rustles, babblings and downed laughter, one thousand one delicate and tender delicacies, bouquets of languid roses distilling their pleasant perfume…
A handful of rose scents, although not all of them are really “about” rose…
Zafferano, by the new-ish men's niche line Odori, opens on an expansive, shimmery-metallic saffron note. It seems to bubble and dance on the skin for a time, slowly taking on raspberry jam undertones as it calms. It's fun — I kept reapplying to do it all over again. The dry down is a more standard-issue rose-saffron combination, very nicely done but nothing terribly unusual, with plenty of cedar. I hardly even notice high prices these days, but at $210 for 100 ml Eau de Toilette, this is a spendy little number. I've yet to top $200 on a single perfume myself, and while I like Zafferano, there's nothing here to tempt me to set a new record. If you like saffron and don't mind the price, do try it (and if you love iris, the Odori version is worth a shot as well). The notes: cedar, saffron, raspberry flowers, wild rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, oriental amber and rosewood.
Miller et Bertaux's new Shanti Shanti is a warmer, drier take on rose…
Les Parfums de Rosine has launched Rose d'Eté Eau Fraîche, a lighter version of their popular Rose d'Eté fragrance:
The smell of the yellow roses is bursting under the sun, and meets the scents of lime-tree flowers and fresh cut grass. The result is an unbelievable accord, luminous, fresh and light…
Les Parfums de Rosine has launched Zéphir de Rose, a new aromatic floral fragrance for women:
The presence of a pure and modern rose. Only by enhancing the quantity of rose essence in the composition could this effect be obtained…
I have always had a soft spot for Valentine's Day. I can't help but feel that there must be just a little bit of magic in anything that brings deep rose, burgundy and crimson colors into the heart of a fluffy white snow-filled February. Small but decadent boxes of chocolate beckon, velvety red petals abound, a brief moment in time where one is allowed to be unabashedly romantic if one wishes….
Having only recently discovered Les Parfums de Rosine, I am tempted to say that this delightful, albeit expensive, little Parisian line is sort of the fragrance industry equivalent of Valentine's Day…
