This is almost equal parts rose and patchouli. With the earthiness of the patchouli, the rose reads “greener” to my nose–more the realistic scent of rose petals than a sweeter, headier rose.
This is a really simple perfume but it’s very good. The patchouli isn’t overpowering, I find it just adds an earthiness to the rose scent, I like this perfume even as someone who prefers sweet scents and rarely wears florals, and I think this would be amazing for someone who prefers earthy or floral scents. I’d say the throw is a good two feet or so. On me it lasted for about 8 hours but I was still catching occasional faint whiffs of patchouli or rose for around 12 hours. My bottle is four years old now and it still smells pretty much the same as how I described it back then.
The patchouli is too strong and competes with the heady rose instead of blending with it
this was one of my first forays into rose scents (which i now love) and it’s still one of my favorites. it’s got a nice earthiness to it from the patchouli without smelling too “headshop”y like patchouli sometimes does. reminds me a lot of walking by a rose bush. the sillage is pretty decent, and the longevity is good as well.
