Rose Kashmirie by Les Parfums de Rosine

*****
Year: 2007

Notes: Sicilian bergamot, coriander, saffron, Bulgarian rose, Damascus rose, Chinese peony, myrrh, nagarmotha, vetiver, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood, ambergris
Based on the listed notes, Rose Kashmirie is too muddled to detect many of them. It's an extremely timid rose offering, complemented by some saffron and powder. The overall effect is quite underwhelming, with a synthetic tinge running throughout the composition.

It's by no means a complete disaster but it's very much the olfactory equivalent to putting on a clean cashmere jumper, which emits lingering traces of fabric softener, than anything velvety or exotic.

As always, both lasting power and projection are nothing to write home about.
