I<3Perfume may or may not have a point, but it's lost on this as an actual review. They mentioned people in the far east don't wear perfumes with spices, woods and amber notes, preferring fruity florals which basically proves they haven't actually smelled this fragrance, as that is exactly what this is. It's a light, gently fruity rose with a tiny hint of green and a very faint incense and clean white musk if you really try hard to imagine it with a deep inhale. Beyond subtle and no spices or woods in sight. In fact, it reminds me a lot of Rose Kabuki by Dior, one of the newer Maison Dior releases that were squarely aimed towards the Chinese market. It also reminds of something that Jean Claude Elena may have put out for Hermes, specifically it would have slipped right into the Jardin collection. It's a lovely rose fragrance, but very light and I have to say, a bit disappointing, I'd have killed for more incense and wood, a bit more depth and interest. Instead, we get a beautiful but very sheer rose with a subtle fruity edge that feels a bit simple. If there's any meditation going on here, it's me wondering where the hell the incense is.
