It took me about 5 years of perfuming to warm up to rose. When I finally did it was the gorgeous and understated Shanti Shanti by Miller et Bertaux with its smooth sandalwood base. Quickly after came rose with a springly twist of grapefruit in Rose Magnetic by Essential Parfums (also available at Indigo at a fantastic price). Now I officially have a trio of rose favorites! Lustre is probably the richest of the three. The rose is strong without being a heavyweight, lifted just a touch by citrus that otherwise is not an attention grabber. There is a simultaneous dusty and airy quality to the rose thanks to frankincense, which becomes the prominent, calming note in the drydown. If you are familiar with the spacy feeling of unburned natural frankincense, which is not smoky or heavy at all, this is it. I can't identify orris on its own but it is probably doing some texture work here. An all-natural stunner I'll be wearing this fall.
