Red Rose and Jasmine (2006)
by Tesco

This is a lovely, clean rose fragrace. It's very uplifting although it doesn't seem to last very long on the skin. The matching body butter is also wonderful, it's incredibly thick and creamy and the fragrance is enough to provide a very light touch of scent which does seem to last. I know everyone says it but it's true, using this before the perfume makes a significant improvement to it's sillage.
It is the perfect boudoir fragrance, I can picture myself sitting at a fancy dressing table, applying the body butter then the perfume before seducung my man!

A straightforward attempt to copy Jo Malone's Red Roses that's not half bad. I've never smelled the JM original but considering this as a fragrance in its own right I find it very pleasant. It's not cloying - the great fear with rose scents - and it's pleasantly fresh. I get a slightly synthetic edge, but didn't expect to be transported to Grasse's May Rose beds for a fiver.

It's eminently suitable for teenagers or maiden aunts - nothing scary or musky here - and I should think it perfect for office wear or as a summertime fragrance to spalsh on with abandon. I'm certainly going to get myself the candle to see how it performs, as it smells very nice in the jar.

I would say this is great value for money and well worth a try. It would make a great gift.
