Notes: ambrette seed, pepper, blackcurrant leaf, violet, Variegata di Bologna rose, jasmine, lychee, raspberry, buckskin, cedar, musk
Glam Rose is a fruity-floral, with a timid leathery component. Primarily a fruity composition of rose and violet, it concentrates on the Variegata di Bologna rose (a Bourbon rose variant, with the petals exhibiting various white, pink and purple blotches).
The violet aromatic properties of the rose merge effortlessly with the violet, against a sweet fruity-musk canvas. There are occasional verdant glimmers, from the blackcurrant leaf, but these are both mellow and fleeting. With just a hint of jasmine, the serving of ambrette seed is initially heavy-handed but soon settles, allowing the other components to breathe.
The raspberry and lychee compensate for the diminishing influence of the florals, as the buckskin is refined yet suede-like. With a subdued woody-musk foundation, the drydown is noticeably smoother and more unified than the somewhat imbalanced opening.
Providing moderate sillage and average staying power, it comes recommended to those who love Parma violets and violet-prominent scents.
