Creed Fleurs de Bulgarie (for women)

I absolutely adore the naughty, grownup rose in this scent. It is simplistic, to be sure-almost a soliflore. The ambergris (heard Creed uses the real stuff?) is an incredible carrier for what must be damascone rose-a little dirty in and of itself. I imagine, and hope, that the musk is synthetic. In any case, it is used judiciously. There is some bergamot in the top that carries the heavier notes, but does not affect the final demeanor of the perfume. Longevity is at least 12 hours, thanks to the excellent fixatives. The rose is true, natural, and develops in tune with your individual mood, the weather, the time of year....nothing any synthetic perfume can accomplish. This is a scent that has been successful for 150 years (original version created in 1845 for Queen Victoria), and with good reason.

I'm a Creed fan but this is a little to mature for my liking. The rose is too overwhelming for my taste.

Strong and flowery. Very classic smell. Too sharp for me, triggers a headace.

I you want a full-bodied strong rose, I would rather buy Anglomania from Vivienne Westwood.
