by Mix:Bar
Glass Rose by Mix:Bar is a crisp, fresh, and subtly tart citrus rose fragrance with a prominent green musk and berry-lit top note that evolves into a clean, skin-like muskiness. The opening is sharp and immediately citrus-berry bright—reminiscent of a lemon-lime gummy bear or a cool, dewy rose garden after rain—over mineral-rich cedar and moss. After about 20–30 minutes, it mellow’s into a light, elegant, and surprisingly long-lasting heart that balances rose, freesia, and soft musk, avoiding any synthetic or chemical finish. It’s far from a traditional rose; it leans more toward a medicinal, under-ripe fruit or high-cold floral ABT tone, making it stand out in a budget category. It’s highly popular as a layering option—especially with Bourbon Vanilla in the same line—and lends itself well to summer, spring, and warm nights. While the notes on Fragrantica are often misleading (and missing rose entirely), many users confirm the fresh, tropical-lite profile as described by Target. It’s not for those who want deep, savory, or velvety rose scents, but it excels as a playful, clean, affordable, daywear option with modulated sillage.
