PG13 Brulure de Rose by Parfumerie Generale

jeca

Rebella, I wrote a beautiful review and I absolutely agree with you.

For me it's not at all cloying, I even don't care about the notes (what is it cacao, raspberry?.. it's boring to counts and spoil everything). This fragrance should be inhale and understand as it is, an impression of dark sweet rose, mysterious, unbelievable and very real, a flower fatale for every bee.

It's like the time stops when you smell it. This rose is an attribute to a very beautiful woman, I instantly imagine Monica Belucci in Malena - virtue and beauty.

i agree with the terms sweet and cloying on this one. rose that feels almost balmy - yes, that's very lovely. added pinch of cocoa, some amber and musk - ok, could be. the rosewood accord adds depth beautifully. but. it's the sweetness of raspberry, which i otherwise like, that ruins it for me in 'brulure'. could work well with the right chemistry, and providing you like foody/sugary scents, in which case this would be an excellent, honey-warm, long-lasting choice.

This is nice but, not for me. A soft rose blended with vanilla-sugar and cacao-powder. It actually smells similar to rosewater, perhaps with an added touch of real rose. The combination of rose and sweetness is just a tad cloying to me. I like the warmth of this scent though.

Umm..honey, cocoa, vanilla??? What and where!! I didn't get any yummy gourmands in this! This was a citrus powdery rose at first, and then as it dried down it got more powdery and reminded me of a rose scented soap. I don't think it's very good, but at the same time I''ve never been much of a rose fan. I do get a touch of raspberry musk after about 15minutes, but its sickly cloying to my nose and this doesn't in any way save the fragrance as far as I'm concerned. A whiff of cocoa came out after about an hour or so, then- the fragrance faded to nothing. This is one of the WORST-blended scents I've come across!
A minor note: This reminded me of Indult Manakara-though not nearly as strong.

Like roses dipped in sugar and powder. Im still trying to figure out if Im going to like it or not.Unfortunately I cant smell roses after a while but I suspect its all about my skin chemistry. Its not a kind of overpowering sweet perfume and I would recommend for people looking for unusual rose fragrance.

Tooooo sweet for me. It's like Pink Sugar plus roses. The fake vanilla (a similar note to the one that I dislike in many Comptoir Sud Pacifiques) runs over the roses on my skin, as does the cocoa. Not for me.

I can only smell a wee bit of rose at the start, and after that I keep smelling incense though it's not on the list. I feel like I've just walked into a shop that sells heavily scented incense sticks. This is a very heavy scent and very long lasting - more suitable for night use.

rebella, your reviews make me wanna try everything you suggest:)
Ok, here's my review. I am testing this fragrance right now. At the beginning there's a fresh scent of candies tickling my nose. It really has something similar to Aquolina's Pink sugar. But this period lasts for a very short time. Then the scent of roses appears. You know, the more I smell it, the more it reminds me the Bulgarian rose jam. The base is warm and sweet, it surely has the smell of sweet incenses.
I love the sillage of this fragrance. It is powdery and rosy. The staying power is great!

Beatiful and sweet, but I only get the rose from start. After a while there's so much musk, amber and vanilla (and all thing nice what I don't reconice), that I lost the rose somewhere in that soft cloud. Truly nice, but my search of "perfect rose" scent continue, I want my roses rich and juicy in a natural rose way, looking for quite simple soliflore I guess.

This is the most beautiful rosefragrance I have ever smelled. It is so true, so pure and delicate that it is like magic.

When first applied I can almost see a pale, pink rosebud in front of me surrounded by darkgreen leaves and branches... Slowly as the day warms up the rosebud develop to a rose in full bloom... Now the fragrance is stronger, sweeter and warmer almost gourmand... And so comes the night, the smell of the rose is weaker but even more sensual, aromatic and spicy.

The stayingpower in this perfume (as well as the others I`ve tried from PG) is amazing and this fragrance is so wonderfully put togheter that I culd sit with my nose attached to my skin for 8 hours or so... It is close to the skin, but still noticeble for others. I think this could be the most feminine scent I have ever tried. A perfume in the perfume, a masterpiece... I dont usually like rosefragrances so much, not delicate flowerfragrances either, but this is a flower perfum worth dying for. At least almost! ;)

A must try for every perfumelover on this globe!

(I have to figure out a way to get a full bottle of this!!!)
