Rosa Flamenca Les Parfums de Rosine for women

Rosa Flamenca might be my favorate Rosine. Gets compliments. It's an intense, spicy, slightly musky rose.

I purchased this fragrance from Barneys NY and I really like wearing this scent. I admire the Les Parfums de Rosine line as they take a variety of rose scents and combine it with notes that take you on a wonderful journey on how rose can be combined to come up with amazing fragrances.

I do not think Barneys is selling this scent anymore as I think it is becoming discontinued (?). I had purchased the last bottle and they were not sure when they were going to replenish it.

I would not consider this a summer scent. For me, it is more of a winter/spring scent.

The initial notes that I experience are sandalwood, rose and something else.....I cannot detect what it is, but I have read on other blogs that there is terpentine in this scent. Maybe that is what I detect? I did not notice the linden blossom, as I love this flower, but the above notes are what is prevalent with a musk/fig leaf (green) dry down. The combination of notes converts the rose scent into something like a green citrus floral, if that makes sense. I really enjoy it. I would not wear it in the summer due to the sandalwood/powdery notes. It is not overtly powdery, but you do notice it.

Roses and orange blossom. 7/10 on my Rosines score card. A well made fragrance, but orange blossom is not my favourite note in perfume. Very pleasant to wear nevertheless. One for people who like a distinctive, yet not overpowering summery floral fragrance.

by the listed notes it sounds amazing and i got a sample of this with a swap.
i was very exited to try it out. unfortunately it was a big disapointement. on me it's nothing than a very faint powdery rose scent. couldn t detect any particular note in this... maybe my skinchemistry ? for beeing a highrated niche perfumery scent it was a real disapointement this one.
