Rose Red 2008
BPAL description: The perfected winter rose, dew covered and freshly cut.
In the bottle: Colourless oil. Fresh, green, rosy. I feel like I can smell the sharpness of the thorns; there's a bite to this. It's also dewy and clean and vaguely aquatic.
Wet: Sharper, almost chemically and plastic. Also a bit fruitier, but in an artificial way that is also a bit plasticky. The greenery and roses are secondary.
Dry: Stronger, sharper, even more chemically, with a soapy edge. It's almost bitter, or astringent, and maybe reminds me of a cleaning product.
Summary: Not a major morpher, though it is an amper. Harsh chemically esters with a touch of soap, red roses, faint fruit and fainter green leaves. Ridiculous throw and longevity.
No clue why only the '05 version works on me.
And I'm finally done with the Yules/WitW,and guess what just showed up? Anniversaries and Inquisitions! Must hurry to test all by the cut-off.
