I wore this the other day and I suppose I like it? It's rose ffs! However I found it to have a soapy, slightly annoying trail that you could taste. Seriously. Modern, musky and diffusive. It's smells different at a distance to close up. Close you get some lightly vanillic, clean musk infused with rose and at a distance more sweet, fatty rose. This is a perfumed, perfume and evokes...no screams the colour pink. As such I felt very self conscious wearing it, and that's not me at all. I think it's because there's no oud, no woods no patchouli or the usual suspects to speak of and nothing as a counterpoint or anchor to the relentlessness of rose accord in here. It's complex in and of itself but not enough for me to get onboard. I'm not one who utters this particularly often but Rose perfection is too feminine for me.
