Review of Rose Essentielle by aad de gids

this is an unforgettable perfume. what was most striking is that it portrayed a lively image of the 'Rose' which was so crystally clear painted with enervating strokes and vibrational hues. it was as if you were inside a Rose and just slided away petal after petal, either to the heart of the Rose or guided by the sunlight as if you were trapped inside its labyrinthine evasive beauty. each moment spellbound by its heavenly and cinematic smell which was the incorporation of pure beauty and elegance. the force of the rose lies in its as evasive as invasive smell of sheer Citronnade, dancing damascones (damascenones), her free floating erotic energies buoyant and honeyed, the pinkness of its matinal smell, bewitching all that come close and then at once also, loosening. the rose being the Sinister Flower she is and at the same time, (quasi-) Angelically sophisticated, alluringly effusing colorations and petalfluttering microclimates of Flowery Abundance. this all then, captured brilliantly within this singular, exceptional perfume. Beatrice Piquet succeeded to add all the other notes not so much toward submission but then corroborating in a rich and nevertheless breathy, full perfume painting of that most enigmatic of flowers.
