Une Folie de Rose is a spicy rose chypré, with a citrus and aldehydic opening highly reminiscent of numerous classic aldehydic-rose scents. But the aldehydes never completely overwhelm, permitting the iris-infused dusty florals to vividly present themselves. Also, the tea rose remains prominent, keeping the proceedings both three-dimensional and buoyant.
While it remains understated during its entire lifespan, it's also one of the more sophisticated offerings from this house. But, in saying that, if it was more tenacious and possessed a greater presence, it probably would have been awarded at least an extra star.
