Rose Poetique review at CaFleureBon by Despoina Veneti

“Manos Gerakinis Rose Poétique opens with a glorious, intoxicating Damask rose, fleshy and full-bodied, yet unmistakably euphoric. This is indeed no melancholic, moody rose: saffron shines through the dense petals like penetrating sun beams, while the contemporary touches of sharp rhubarb and tangy raspberry offer their tart/sweet energy to the rose. The first signs of musk manifest to my nose right from the opening, keeping the fragrance fluffy just before the deep, balsamic labdanum enters the scene. The synergy between labdanum, saffron and patchouli tones down the fruitiness, bringing into surface exciting suede leather undertones. The drydown is one of soft amber, with the warmed labdanum melting into sweet vanilla, while the combination of airy musk and cozy cashmeran gives the composition an easy-going, ethereal sensuality.”
