Paul Smith Rose Eau De Parfum, 100ml

Product Information

At first I felt the green tea was a little bit too much for me. It did have that refreshing effect, giving the rose a more youthful vibe, but it was so strong on me it almost became like a MINT, cold smell. A predictable woody-musky drydown follows, soft and cohesive, complementing the florals to perfection. It fades to a musky rose skin scent. Sillage and longevity are moderate. What makes it special is there is no musk, powder, spice, soap, fruit, or peony––which seems to be the combination put forth by every other brand. Even the included violet and magnolia are largely inperceptible. Beyond the rose itself, there is only that dewy green freshness from the green tea (but the tea notes are not strong at all either). It is a light pink rose, tender, feminine and youthful, balanced by gorgeous green notes. The greenery keeps it from being overwhelmingly rosy for those that hate rose fragrances. It smells so true to life, sometimes I think I'm walking in an English garden. Apparently Paul Smith had this rose created for his wife so the added romanticism of the perfume makes it appealing!

|Go for a signature Jean Paul Gaultier perfume to make a bold statement. From mild sensual scents to ones that last throughout the day, Jean Paul Gaultier’s selection is perfect for anyone who loves to take centre stage. Another rose scent that smells too green and sharp for my taste. It makes me think of pachouli/moldy house. Or even a pine tree! It is very lovely. I can't believe it's as inexpensive as it is, for it doesn't smell cheap. Rose perfumes are my favorite of all the florals, but also seem hard to get right., because what other notes match rose well? I think tea may be one. This is very close to perfect: just roses and raindrops. It has been two hours since I oversprayed; it is still going strong, but in a good way. Not close to my skin, I have not lost the scent and I leave a trail of dewdrop sprinkled petals when I walk.Paul Smith Rose is universally loved and probably my most complimented. I work in the wedding industry and this perfume is enjoyed by wedding guests and vendors alike- they stop me to ask what I'm wearing (sometimes many hours after applying). It is about 50% rose and 50% fresh (the green tea and cedar) with no hint of sweetness or embellished floral notes like the Stella or Rose Amber. This perfume is not trying to be sexy or loud or flirty, but this almost makes it sexier IMO. I feel confident, unique, dainty, and feminine in this perfume. While I like scents like the old and new Chloes, there is something too sharp, serious, and heavy about them. This is mostly a skin scent for me. I do occassionaly get a scent aura around me, but it's fleeting. dare i say....i actually prefer it to Stella original EDP....there, i said it. and it is 100 times better than the new Stella EDT.

ALl in all, PSR is a v true rose scent, watery and green. Heard the smell is created using Scent trek technology. You may be curious, can google it. it is cultivated by Sir Paul Smith's wife Pauline Denyer, as a birthday prsent for Sir Paul Smith. I truly dont know where to put my rewiew, i have Rose limited edition, not summer editition.. Most likely it has to go here then,on original Rose? I had it last yaear,but passed to my mum, cos I smelled more green tea than rose, which is not very pleasant for me after few years spent with Green tea by E.Arden. The more I wear it and the more I like it. I can now notice the rose more and the green tea really makes it a refreshing fragrance. I've been outside in the June summer weather today, so the drydown of this fragrance started early. The drydown is absolutely gorgeous. It's a slightly powdery musk, with traces of the top notes.I don't own this one, but have been looking for a rose/peony scent that is light, delicate, unpretentious, not too sweet, and with only the slightest hint of that watery, green, freshness. This is a very green scent, so it you don't like green scents I recommend you should stay far from this one.

It is a fantastic rose,dewey and thorney, just like real roses from the garden.Smells true and organic to me,not syntetic . Its fresh,not much sweetness in it ,very british and very very beautiful in its simplicity! Lots of violet in this one. Of course it is mostly rose, but definitely a violet undertone. Love the combination of rose and violet. This is a soft, herbaly, mildly citrusy rose perfume. It reminds me of a green tea and rose infusion, that I have drinked. The rose here is relatively clear, a bit sweet, a little woody with cedar, and opens up with a bit of citrus over it. The tea note joins in soon after, and that's what the perfume smells like in the heart--a bright rose with a citrus green tea note, with just a hint of an aquatic note. Normally I hate aquatic note, but this comes off as more rainwashed instead of ozonic. The base on me is mostly musk, cedar, green notes, and tea, with only a hint remaining of the rose, which is fine, because admittedly rose can become cloying after awhile. Approaching what I'm looking for are RL Romance, YSL Parisienne, EL Pleasures, B&BW Peony....and closest of all, Body Shop's Rose Sauvage (Wild Rose) hand cream.I look for individuality in the scent, so I feel like this, but I think it's perfect for those who want a general rose scent. I can see why passerby may think this is a unisex or men's fragrance. The rose note stays close to the skin, while the fresh green tea emanates much farther out. The rose is much more noticeable to the wearer than to other people. It is the first note to fade away, as well. This does not bother me, as I'm personally captivated by this scent from start to finish. (Tip: the rose lasts much longer on clothing than skin).
