Review of rose opulente by aad de gids

a fantastic, full-on rose perfume. indeed, as I saw above, with much resemblance to Nahéma and Fleurs de Bulgarie, also with [Malle's] Une Rose. when you spray it on it really gives an in-your-face blast of a very elegant rose. I also thought (misremembered) that her name was 'Rose Elegante' but better still, it is called 'Rose Opulente'. the other notes seep in gradually. the spices, Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, in the drydown definitely the Sandelwood. I am not good in detecting green notes and simply do not smell chemical musks. (except in Alberto Morillas' Mizensir perfumes....) this is such a chic and French perfume and with Secrète Datura and Fleur d'Iris I am glad to have this microcollection within my overall collection. Maitre Parfumier et Gantier (in my other 2 reviews I misspelled their name) is this worthy and haute 'Maison de Parfumerie'.
