Sottile 1.61 Yosh for women

I love the oil of this, it is exactly the smell of blooming roses, as many already said. The oil is much richer and more of a literal rose than the edp. The EDP smells more synthetic and soapy. I still like it, but not love.

This is an incredible elixir. It smells alive! Absolutely intoxicating.

I had the pleasure of meeting Yosh Han a few years ago. She is amazingly intelligent, perceptive, and lovely, and she is an inspiration to me. She is a perfectionist, and each one of her fragrances is filled with details and atmosphere, and elicits stories of her adventures. I don't think I've ever tried a Yosh fragrance that didn't shock me into vivid scent recollections and/or fantasies. I'm a rose gardener, and I love roses with a passion. I've had hundreds of rose bushes, and I always look forward to growing more. Sottile 1.61 is very special to me, because the first time I smelled it was soon after my daughter was born. In a literal translation from English to Italian, the word "sottile" means "subtle". It can also be transliterated as "thin", but that does not describe this fragrance. Sottile 1.61 truly smells like a newly bloomed Double Delight rose in a dewy summer garden. It's pure, fresh, and clear, and, in a natural, non-imposing way, it's subtle. However, it not not a faint or thin scent. For me, it's an antidepressant in a bottle. It's just a radiant, realistic perfume that causes many people to look around them wondering where is the rosebush they smell. It is perfect for wearing while gardening. I received a bottle of this from my husband, so I find this fragrance to be sweetly romantic. My Numerology number has been 1 my whole life, even with changing surnames after marriage, so it seems this suits me in the way the perfumer intends.

EDP
This is lovely. Heirloom roses in the rain. This scent is very deep but not over powering, stays close to the skin. I think this would smell good on anyone regardless of age or sex. This would smell great on a man.

Tried the perfume oil. Beautiful. Doesn't overpower, doesn't smell like soap or the bath fragrance store, doesn't make you smell cheap, all problems with many pure rose perfumes. I think the lilly of the valley keeps the rose under control, and the rose keeps the Lilly of the valley (one of my favorites) from doing the same. I will definitely buy this, though it is not the perfume I want to wear most of the time.

Innocent, simply pure. The very incense of tea rose. Would be nice on 18 yo pretty girl in white dress with minimum make up on. Pretty perfume!

This has got to be one of the most achingly sweet rose perfumes ever! I don't mean sweet in the sense of sugary, but in the best, most innocent and true to life tea rose scents. It is not vampy or dark, but it is not little girl either. Modern without being unwearable as so many are today. A subtle, sexy rose fragrance. Just a simple, elegant and sexy nod to the queen of all flowers, the beloved rose.

On me it starts with a very soft and dewy rose with a hint of green, morphing into a bit of a creamy rose in the heart and the final drydown on me is a true tea rose with a hint of the LOV too. It never gets powdery and the rose always stays true to the flower, never chemically or air freshener like at all. A true rose lovers perfume, blended to perfection with obvious quality and integrity to the flowers.

Sillage is good, when I move my wrist I get little whispers of rose, but not overpowering or cloying. So far longevity is respectable. Well, worth a sample if you love this flower.

Regarding the name, first and foremost, I believe "Sottile" means delicate, when referring to perfume, but "subtle" works, too.

Anyway, this fragrance is weird. It's a dark, musty, dank rose that smells like a Halloween shop or the inside of a Halloween mask or one of those indoor rides at Disneyworld. Definitely avant-garde and interesting but nothing I'd wear. That musty smell has a similar vibe to L'Air du Desert Marocain by Andy Tauer, to my nose.

Grandma? Not on me, I am 21 and this is what I wished Stella was. A beautiful oil of rose and lilly of the valley, I haven't experienced many pretty florals that can hold a candle to this one in the rose arena, I am very impressed. I am a big fan of JHAG Lady V, but this is the soft, pretty, polite rose instead of the sexy bold raunchy Lady V. It is not for every occasion, but perfect for informal occasions when you just want to smell like the prettiest most pure of roses and lilly of the valley, just spot on, not the least bit synthetic. This is a review for the oil- the spray might smell like grandmas bathroom, but this doesn't to me at all.

I really hesitate to use this phrase in a review, because its so cliche and lazy, but for the first time the phrase works: this really does smell like my Grandma's bathroom.

The bathroom, that is, during the time she had 13 grandchildren all learning to use the big girl pot. These learning sessions were always followed by an emergency cleaning and a dowsing of room freshener, which you can smell for yourself by sampling sottile.

I don't know what the point of this fragrance is, actually. It's just not good.

Testing out the EDP version.

This is a subtle blend of rose and lily of the valley. You are first introduced to a bouquet of roses which beautifully blends down to allow the lily of the valley notes to bloom.

As the day goes by, this EDP has a playful balance between the two notes.

An elegant fragrance to any collection.

I look forward to trying out the Perfume Oil version.

I recommend this scent to any woman who wants smell like her inner beauty.
