REVIEWS

Fragrantica - I find this to be divinely beautiful. It has a well rounded combination of rose, fruits and fresh elements(cucumber and mint) and a hint of violet which makes it dreamy. The musks in here are also very creamy. It is a scent that evokes positive feelings, images of lying in a dewy rose garden in the summer biting into a watery pear. It is fresh, but voluptuous, airy but not lacking depth, happy but not childish. It has become one of my favourite fragrances! Please try it even if you don't usually like rose!

Fragrantica - This is a very beautiful fragrance, maybe my favorite among all Allegorias! It has the typical Guerlain DNA but was made very gentle. It's like Insolence or LPRB made really fresh and bright and summery. I know, fresh LPRB with mint sounds awful, but somehow Mrs. Jelk managed to make it really lovely. Bravo!

Fragrantica - I find it very refreshing, soothing and relaxing. More like a spa scent. But at the same time it has a distinctive Guerlain quality.
Think of a warm and sunny spring day. Not too hot, slight breeze. A carefree day. That is the feel of Rosa Verde. I also sense a link to the original lineup of AA; simpler compositions to get a smile on your face and a sense of wellbeing. A very nice choice for warmer days.

Fragrantica  - This is very green indeed and smells like the sensation of munching a vinaigrette lettuce salad. This is not a bad thing, I love salad...
The rose is minimal. I feel 'rose dew' more than rose, almost the wetness of a rose bud opening rather than a heady damask rose. I could imagine this being part of the old line up of Un Jardin de Hermes in the JC Elena era. It also has a nod to the most subtle of Cartier's offerings (Oh how I miss Baiser Vole in EDT!).  I've bought it in November. I can't wait to smell it in the spring time as it needs skin, not jumpers. I will only wear this now straight from the bath to bed. I think it would be calming for sleep.
It's quite odd, rather lovely and definitely not boring.

Fragrantica - wellness garden impression. minty cucumber water on the spa patio next to the rose garden after the rain. while smelling within the first half hour you first get a soft pink rose that melts into cucumber and then mint, before the rose fades and the cucumber and mint start melting into a chypre scent. i'm not used to my nose being led in this way when it comes to soft floral designer scents, i am impressed. very close to the skin on a cooler rainy summer day, i'm sure it performs better on a hot day based on composition. while i'm clearly not the target audience, i'm often pleasantly surprised by how interesting aqua allegoria scents can be while staying 100% inoffensive and wearable to most...it's even more interesting than other aqua allegorias i've sampled. if you want to give the impression of a tall glass of iced tea/refreshing beverage of choice on a hot day to the people around you while exuding an air of sophistication, this is a solid contender.

Fragrantica - I think this is interesting. It's a soft, modern take on an old-fashioned rose chypre. It settles into the most summertime green powdery scent I can think of. It feels like a true vintage that was given a facelift to make it more approachable to a modern audience. It's absolutely unlike what everyone else is wearing today, but not in an offensive way. I'm not a rose fan but I really love this old-turned-new vibe. And that iris in the drydown is just a gorgeous, soft cloud. If you associate powdery perfumes or chypres with harshness, don't be scared. You won't find that here.It's so soft.

Fragrantica - it earns me so many compliments. The opening is fresh and soothing, quite peculiar if compared to other fragrance with the same target. The cucumber and the mint are quite prominent in the opening, but then the rose overtakes the stage and gives balance to the entirety of the fragrance. The dry down is lovely as well. It will be my summer perfume, even though smelling it always gives me the feeling of a late spring promenade in Florence.

Fragrantica  - This is soooo beautiful! Strong, aristrocraty, fresh soap, with refreshing petals. I just love it. Mint and cucumber, but it is so much more.  Like living in a Castle with old money but all the youthfull pleasures of spring life.

Fragrantica  - On my skin, it lasted for several hours with phenomenal projection - even in a nauseating train station setting. On me, Rosa Verde opens with the scent of fresh cucumber - those sweet, garden-picked ones I used to pluck right off the vine - blended beautifully with rose and a touch of iris. Feminine, but not sweet. It smells exactly the way it's meant to: like a summer after-bath. To my nose, it feels more "moisturizing" or hydrating than aquatic, soft and soothing, strangely elegant. I loved it, I bought it, and I plan to use it as a base for layering, since it's such an enveloping fragrance...
