I can only comment on the press blurb:
"After hundreds of trials needed to balance such an excessive formula...a rare symphonic perfume appeared: a new oriental rose..."
Really? Huh.
I was under the impression that Montale, amongst several others, had successfully perfected this "rare symphony" some time ago. And with no doubt fewer trials.
Too little, too late.
Year: 2010
Perfumer: Dominique Ropion
Notes: Turkish rose, benzoin, cinnamon, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, frankincense, red berries, spice accord
Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYea hath damned Frédéric Malle with four words.
After Une Rose, one either does something along the lines of L'Ombre Dans L'Eau or Parfum Sacre... break down a particular facet of rose's facade into an extended rhyme.
My reaction is mostly neutral to this creation by Mr Ropion. Now, how can one say anything bad about a man who brought forth 'Une Fleur de Cassie', 'Carnal Flower' and 'Lalique le Parfum'. I think they ensure him sanctuary from any critic out there.
