Winners of Serge de Profundis, Puredistance I, Unum Lavs and Arquiste Anima Dulcis from Dia de Los Muertos giveaway – Jeanne and Maria I may throw on some Carnal Flower with it. You know what? Living dangerously, I put a spritz of the teeny bit of Night I have left on the other side of my arm. Me, I’ll keep it over here and keep trying to figure out if I can sneak up on it and wear it before it wears me. It’s not Portrait of a Lady, it’s not a shrinking, shy, sweet rose. I mean, it’s got big horny thorns, dirt, petals.įrederic Malle Promise is not for mass market, and I suspect there will be more people who hate it than love it because it is not what they are expecting. Shouldn’t there be more of those? There is an earthy component to this rose. ![]() I loved it because it’s not like anything else. It is a scary rose – like turpentine is burning under the petals somewhere, but you can’t figure out where exactly. If I smelled this rose in my garden, I would only approach it with a full bottle of holy water and a crucifix. Return your purchase within 30 days if your product meets our. This is a rose fragrance from start to finish with some lovely other notes playing around. Order a trio of samples for 15 and apply it to your next purchase.

While he is one of the greatest perfumers alive, me and Ropion have different ideas about how to use rose in perfumery.Frederic Malle Promise is the latest release from the line. This evaluation should be taken with a tablespoon of salt, considering that I am not a big fan of Portrait of a Lady either. So, it's a technically well crafted rose fragrance with some novelty and interest, but ultimately it leaves me a bit cold. I have to say that the quality of the rose essences is stunning here. Unlike most fragrances I have tried today, it's still perfectly intact after 9 hours. Despite sounding lighthearted with the notes of pink pepper and green apple, it's dry and reserved daytime rose. I would expect something in the base to make it a tad rounder, deeper and warmer. God knows I love dry fragrances, but here the dryness has no counterpoint. While there are some similarities between the two Ropion roses, namely the almost pungent fruity-rosy opening, this is much more brighter and less deep than Portrait of a Lady.Īt least on paper this fragrance never really blooms. This accord is supported with patchouli and cypriol, which gives some earthy nuances to it, but also makes the composition dry and even a tad acidic and bitter. The combination of roses and green apple - which creates the main accord in the beginning - is clever and manages to capture my interest. Pink pepper, while listed on the notes, is barely there. It starts with a blast of roses, Turkish and Bulgarian, and a very noticeable green apple note. Luckily the Rome store had a tester already. Okay, so the boutiques will start to carry this in November.
