July – Ombre Rose by Jean-Charles Brosseau

Ombre Rose by Jean-Charles Brosseau (This review is for the Eau De Toilette)

A power-house of a rose fragrance, the Ombre Rose range (Eau De Toilette & Parfum) has an interesting opening sharpness of zing which hits your nostrils first to freshen them up – but then quickly dissapates into the floral heart of rose, ably accompanied by lily of the valley, ylang-ylang and peach.

Finally, what you are left with is a deep, rich and powdery rose scent which is unmistakably feminine.  Orris, musk, rosewood AND sandalwood make up the base notes – along with notes of honey and courmarin.

There is an immense amount of sillage in the Eau De Toilette – mine lasted a solid 4-5 hours.  In the current clilmate of weak, watery aquatics this has unbelievable staying power.  With the parfum, a few dabs behind the ear would more than suffice and you can layer the fragrance with the body lotion, foaming gel, perfumed body cream and perfumed body powder.

An elegant, feminine fragrance for those that enjoy rose fragrances – either in the EDT or pure parfum form.
