Penhaligon's Elisabethan Rose Eau de Parfum is the olfactory embodiment of the rose's beauty. These exquisite fragrances are sure to delight fans of floral compositions with woody-musky undertones. The perfume was inspired by the famous Tudor rose.
Top notes reveal the composition with delicate hints of hazelnut praline, the sweet bitterness of almond, warm cinnamon, and sweet, gentle citrus nuances of tangerine.
Heart notes present a luxurious bouquet featuring the most beautiful flowers: the graceful red lily, the tender delicacy of the May rose, the tangy geranium framed by rose oil, and the enchanting sweetness of plum and intoxicating blackcurrant.
Base notes complete the perfume with a velvety trail woven from grassy-smoky vetiver, sensual musk, rich and multifaceted woody notes, honeyed-floral shades of powdery iris root, and floral-herbaceous nuances of violet.
I have been using these perfumes for half a year, but it never crossed my mind that they smell like cucumbers or, even more so, borsch! This is a very elegant, expensive scent of fresh roses, with a pleasant bitterness. Truly, there is no accounting for taste!
About the seltzer in question.
In my opinion, it ruins the entire aroma.
The first three seconds are like marinated cucumbers, but then a rose appears, a pleasant and unique aroma. I can't say it's very long-lasting... If you have the opportunity to test it, it's better to try the perfume on yourself before buying the full-size version.
Girls here were writing about the smell of brine, but to be honest, it smells like a combination of roses and dill to me, no matter how hard I try to avoid it. Surprisingly, it's actually very beautiful. In my opinion, this is the best rose I have ever tried - juicy, sweet, without the taste of "grandmother's powder" that many perfumes with rose have (like Tom Ford's Rose Prick). Overall, I really liked it.
The fragrance is long-lasting, but its scent is subjective and may not appeal to everyone. It has a distinct smell of pickles, believe it or not.
The longevity of this product is extraordinary. I applied it on my wrist, and the bracelet still smells after two days, and I believe it will last even longer. The scent is a combination of roses infused with cucumber brine. Interestingly, as soon as I applied it, the first thing that came to mind was "a salty rose." My husband even commented, "I was wondering where the borscht-like scent was coming from."
