Picture: It's almost the same temprature (+6 C) this Christmas Eve as Midsummer Eve 2015 (+10 C). Therefore this lush summer rose is illustrating this post. Photo: Mr Parfumista (c) |
Suits this green, warm Christmas Eve with some sun outside. This beautiful rose is enlightened by subtle spices and a smooth rubbery note from the roseoil. It's just delightful, a sort of thicker and stronger variation of the Edp version. Wearing it feels like rolling around in fresh, just harvested, medium pink rosepetals a warm and sunny day.
Mr Parfumistas SOTD is Santos de Cartier vintage version, suits well with its spicy, leathery accords. Last year, also a green Christmas, he wore the same fragrance. Wearing this classic is a recurring habit for Mr Parfumista for Christmas Eves as it has happened for several times.

2014: Impossible Iris Ramòn Monegal (an elegant, contempory iris with a delicious rasperrynote)
