Zephir De Rose by Les Parfums de Rosine, 2008

Love the opening of this light-as-a-feather fresh rose with none of the herbal ballast suggested by the anise and basil top notes mentioned. Unfortunately it's all too fleeting and we're left with the familiar rose base common to other Rosines.

A very pretty rose soliflore. This rose strikes me as a dark pink one--not too girly, but not particularly deep. I got very little anise or basil (neither is a favorite note of mine), just enough to give some lift. Zephir is slightly softer and less green than SL's Sa Majesté La Rose, and it has better lasting power on me. Worth a try!
