Well this was a surprise, I’ve gone off fragrances with rose and decluttered all my rose scents but this one is lovely. A fresh rose with some citrus and florals. It’s airy, bright and sparkly. Not an old fashioned rose scent at all. Fresh, uplifting and flirty.
Rose Magnetic is a beautiful summery take on a classic rose. It opens sweet and juicy with grapefruit and litchi at the forefront, before a gentle mint becomes present creating a gorgeously fresh scent bubble. The rose sits gently in the background, light and airy only there to compliment the fresher notes. There’s a sweetness of vanilla and tonka in the base, which is a nice addition - however the cedar remains pretty much undetectable. It dries down very quickly and soon becomes a skin scent unfortunately. While this fragrance smells lovely, it’s only fleeting and to me lacks character and depth. It’s a very pleasant fragrance but that’s where it ends. It’s a good option for the summer and a nice fresh take on rose but it’s not massively special, thankfully the prices from Essential Parfums are reasonable.
On Essential parfums: Every now and again a brand comes along that really hits on every level. Essential parfums is one those brands. Superb perfumes, nothing superfluous or irrelevant in the lineup, a nice number of releases, Frederic Malle style focus on perfumers (all of which are fantastic master perfumers) with their name (and picture) pride of place on the bottle and marketing materials. A commitment to sustainability, in terms of perfume materials and packaging, transparency about natural naturals used and their source, and the really important thing to most consumers an pledge to keep prices affordably low without sacrificing quality. So a brand that truly adds value and brings a lot to the table. I have huge admiration and respect for them and they should be applauded for the whole concept of the brand. Rose Magnetic Gorgeous!!! Lovely, mellow, not overly sweet rose. There's been some really lovely roses along the lines of this recently, beautifully supported, natural smelling roses. Velvet rose, propped up in all the right places by musks and warmth and lovely complementary top notes, like pink pepper or here there's Litchi listed in the notes. I'll buy it! Kinda fresh top, sure litchi okay. cool. I mean why would you bother with a screeching JAM, from Montale or a cheapo, crude PEA & rose crystal affair for a more money from a 'niche' brand? So good for the money and another example of a lovely rose accord which probably only uses a tiny amount of rose absolute but gets a hell of a lot out of it, with careful balance, Bravo Sophie Labbe. Comes highly recommended.
