Villa Primerose, from Atelier des Ors was released in 2024. The perfumer behind this creation is Marie Salamagne. It has the top notes of Cardamom, Pear, and Pink Pepper, middle notes of Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Iris, and Rose, and base notes of Amberwood, Leather, and Musk.
What comes to the bottle it gives many expectations about the scent and in this case those don't mach with the reality. I was waiting something more rosy and feminine, something alluring and attractive. Actually I was about to blind buy this one like almost all of my perfumes but luckily I didn't. Some may expect something girly as well but no, this is not. This scent is quite mature. There is nothing pink here imo if thinking only this bottle. But if I compare for example with "Pink Me Up | Atelier des Ors" the bottle looks exactly like the scent is smelling - pink, uplifting, sweet and rosy - and therefore this scent is like a totally faded and dried version of that, very, very light baby pink and totally light petals which barely has a smell. I love roses and different kind of rose scents like Iris scents as well but I feel that this scent is not for me. Roses and iris are there but they seem to come and go and they are very subtle. They are dry but not powdery and there is missing a soft, a slightly sweet aroma from the combination of Ambrette and Musk. Instead of powdery this feels earthy on my skin which is strange. I don't find here any lipsticky vibe nor vintage feeling. It would be nice if there was just a little hint of sweetness but I don't get it, not even in the opening where should be Pear. This has nothing to do with Delina either. Villa Primerose is not a bad scent but it's a bit boring scent without a soul. Normally I get some associations by smelling different scents, I see different kind of scenes when closing my eyes and smelling the perfume but with this one nothing happens. Because of that, I see this as an utterly safe scent for the office or anywhere where you have to be "neutral" and not showing your own personality. If you need that kind of scent I think you should try this one. If you are trying to find some unforgettable scent or signature scent, this is not what you are looking for. This review is based on a sample (3 wearings) and I will edit this one if I get something more out of this scent. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
