Creamy, rich, powdery soapiness and icy cold freshness in the bottle Let me introduce to you one of the most unique soapy and clean scents. However, some people think that the soapiness is not the main feature at all but personally to my nose, it is. There is just so much more going on in this scent. Look at these notes: Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Elemi resin Soap, Turkish Rose absolute, Tomato leaf Heliotrope, Ambroxan, Patchouli, Cypriot, Sandalwood In the opening Bulle de Rose is bold and shameless. You either love it or hate it but it’s so strange and peculiar that I wanted to smell it more and more. My initial reaction was “no” but time after time I ended up to appreciate it more and more. The scent is straight away fresh but in the same time richly creamy, the texture feels like a luxurious soap. Elemi’s fresh and piney aroma combined with the green and minty nuances from Blackcurrant (not fruity here) makes it feel almost like some pastille. As the scent develops, you can sense a refined rose, which remains all the time in the background though. In the same time that brash opening calms down and the gentle powdery veil descends thanks to Heliotrope and the scent pampers the senses while creamy Sandalwood makes the scent softer all the time. The concoction is very special, a satisfying lingering scent. I’m not so big fan of Ambroxan but in this scent it’s crucial, making this powerful and creating a very interesting and seductive trail that cannot be missed. Personally I love this scent in crispy cold weather. I think it’s because of that cold fresh character which it has in the opening and that extremely rich, thick creaminess is just perfect in wintertime. I can’t wait to wear this during the spring since I think it would be perfect. This is not a typical fresh scent, not a typical soapy one nor anything else which I have smelled before.
