Comment: Vintage formulation
Where Aphrodite's Love Oil leans heavily towards the oriental spectrum, Rose Essence Oil has more emphasis placed on both the rose and geranium, resulting in a more stripped-down affair.
With a vehement flurry of rose accords vying for one's attention, reinforced with some geranium and palmarosa, the composition forsakes a balsamic base in favour of light woods. As a result, it lacks the alluring creaminess of Aphrodite's Love Oil as well as some considerable depth.
With short-lived longevity of approximately two hours, it offers something to those seeking a realistic rose blend experience. Personally, one is more partial to the lush oriental premise of its sibling.
