Being their third release for men, Rosissimo could have been classified as a floral-fougère had some lavender been included in the composition. Instead, it's a very tart and bright citrus-floral aromatic. By Les Parfums de Rosine's self-imposed restrictions, it's also their closest release to a bona fide citrus fragrance.
The interplay of the citrus, rosemary and verbena is both mouthwatering and voluptuous. As for the florals, they are extremely subdued – even the rose is barely discernible. The surfacing of the leather, cistus and fir balsam suggest a slightly more masculine nature, as a soft woody drydown ensues.
Within less than one hour, it remains pretty much a gentle skin scent for the remainder of its duration. But still, it's certainly a major improvement over their last two masculine creations, Rose d'Homme and Twill Rose, and that in itself is a noteworthy achievement.
