Roasted Peach, Velvet Rose, and Labdanum

Recommended Posts

Resiny peach. This is more of a peach and resin duo on me. It doesn't smell roasted to me, but I do get a velvety quality. While I cannot pick out the rose, I think it's adding to the labdanum and the sweet fruitiness of the peach. I almost get a vague wine or candy quality to it, but it's hard to pin down. Overall, this brings to mind peaches, on a bed of velvet, and surrounded by resin.

I only smelled the "roasted" component of this when I compared it to blends that had fresh peach. It's definitely 'cooked' peach in there. But it's still got enough life to stand up to the labdanum. I get the "velvet" quality too. There's something magical about the simplicity of these notes and how they play together so well.

I was worried about the rose not in this, but I shouldn't have been. I couldn't pick out it or the labdunum. I got a sweet peach with something warm, but not spicy in the background. It finally faded to something that smelled like lotion or skin cream. I didn't love it, but I kept sniffing my wrists, if that makes sense?

I ordered a decant of this because even though peach notes don't always work for me, I haven't met many roses I don't like, so I was hoping for a win. This vial was smashed in transport unfortunately, but the labels of its friends carried the scent for days and I was not mad about it! Luckily I snagged a partial bottle and I'm finally getting around to a skin test. 

Neither the peach nor the rose dominate the scent on application. These two divas are content to canoodle in the embrace of velvety resins. It becomes more resiny-peach on balance as it dries, while remaining subtle and sensual, accurate to the description. I might wear this more often in a locket to stretch the duration of the rose, but I'm quite pleased to have it!
