Crystal Rose

Crystal Rose presents a bold, concentrated rose theme with noticeable citrus sharpness and a warm amber tonka base, arriving to the skin as a glistening, slightly artificial rose with undercurrents of rose water and tonka bean. It delivers a clean but not fresh profile—more moist and perfumed than dewy or wet, resembling the scent of pre-packaged rose water from a market stall or a well-used fragrant cotton pad in a bathroom. Longevity is moderate to strong, with projections reaching across a room during daytime. Despite its modest sillage, the scent lingers noticeably long after application, making it a personal and intimate statement. The perfume is an unapologetic rose—complex in weight and not subtle. Opinion is sharply divided: some experience a lush, fresh wet rose illusion while others perceive a synthetic, overpowering briar that evokes old-style potpourri or a corner from a floral boutique. The scent tends to complement other perfumes, particularly with vanilla-based scents. It is overwhelmingly feminine, best worn during spring and daytime, though some find the application of citrus and spicy notes jarring. It is not a safe blind buy for rose enthusiasts, as the olfactory experience is more evocative of rose water and less like modern interpretations such as Chloe or Gucci Bloom.
