The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The house lists its notes without a pyramid.
On the skin
The core of the perfume is two rose ingredients, Rose Essential LMR and Turkish rose absolute, which the brand says are certified 'For Life'. Using two materials gives the flower more than one face, and that gives the rose its depth.
Bitter grapefruit and fresh peppermint play against the lush rose, in the brand's description, and give it a playful tone. The bitterness stops the rose from turning sugary, and the mint adds a cool breath. It is a lively pairing, never a heavy one.
Lychee adds a juicy fruit sweetness, cedarwood a dry frame, musks softness and vanilla bean a warm, rounded note, all of which the brand says add to the appeal. Together they make the rose easy to wear and a little addictive, which is the brand's own word.
Wearing it
A rose that works from spring to autumn: grapefruit and mint keep it light in warm weather, while musks, cedarwood and vanilla bean give it enough body for cooler evenings. At 16%, two or three sprays are sufficient.
People who enjoy rose with a modern twist: bitter fruit, cool mint, a softness of vanilla and musk. It is unisex, and the contrasts keep the rose lively instead of sweet. Even if you usually find rose scents too sweet, this one may suit you.
It is a rose built on two certified rose materials and set in contrast with grapefruit and mint, which makes it easy to describe and easy to recognise. Sophie Labbé composed it. On the practical side, the brand gives 86% natural-origin ingredients, a vegan formula and a bottle you can refill.
Questions
It is a modern one, in the brand's words playful and addictive. Bitter grapefruit and peppermint contrast the rose, and lychee, musks and vanilla bean soften it.
The brand says both rose ingredients, Rose Essential LMR and Turkish rose absolute, are certified 'For Life'. Its page gives no further explanation.
Lychee and vanilla bean bring some softness, but bitter grapefruit and peppermint keep it lively. It reads as a fresh-leaning rose rather than a sugary one.
Probably, because the rose is cut with bitter grapefruit and peppermint and softened by lychee and musks. It is unisex and written as a modern take, not a traditional bouquet.
The house
Essential Parfums is a Paris house founded in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault, who had 30 years in the perfume industry. Each eau de parfum is created by a different perfumer, who signs the bottle, in a refillable flacon, with alcohol made from beetroot and, the brand states, 82 to 93% ingredients of natural origin.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
