She is now veering to plusher, more overt rose scents and compromising on the cosy, if need be.

Amouage Lyric I can report back on - unfortunately it was not rosy enough, and I think also a bit sweet on J's skin, which was unexpected. She has already been to Liberty's once on a sniffing foray, but needs to pay a second visit, I gather. I am hoping to get along Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-51927492208191235692015-02-26T00:19:50.268+00:002015-02-26T00:19:50.268+00:00If it's not too late, Vanessa, may I add one t...If it's not too late, Vanessa, may I add one to your list for Jessica to try? Guerlain Encens Mythique d'Orient features more than rose, but the rose really shimmers in this lovely perfume - and the incense is quiet, such that the overall effect is sublime (maybe not cosy, but definitely soft and elegant and the perfect rose scent for someone who wears lipstick well).

She has also clarified that softness and cosiness may be conveyed without out-and-out powderiness of the face powder kind - so amber is a contender, as in Stella, or incense, woods, milky, rice-type accords, benzoin, vanilla, Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-14810870825376139402015-02-17T15:15:36.762+00:002015-02-17T15:15:36.762+00:00Hi SallyM,

Hm...for pure rosiness and a measure of coziness too I like Strange Invisible Perfume's Prima Ballerina with a bit of sage on top of the most intense pink rose-plus it's natural.
