Rose Seduction Slanderous

Notes & Nuances

Rose Seduction Slanderous opens with a burst of tart raspberry, but it's closer to raspberry jam than fresh berries. The peony heart emerges quickly, adding a powdery, almost cosmetic-like floral touch. It’s sweeter and less nuanced than a true rose note. The praline base gives a nutty, caramelized sweetness that lingers, but with a slightly cloying edge, a little too much burnt sugar to be truly seductive. It deviates from the original in its reliance on overtly sugary notes, sacrificing some of the airier floral aspects for pure, unadulterated sweetness.

Is it Worth It?

If this scent were a character, it would be the overeager, slightly gauche, friend of the protagonist in a rom-com – loud, attention-grabbing, but ultimately kindhearted.

Projection Power

On my skin, Rose Seduction Slanderous lasted around 4-5 hours. The projection is moderate; about an arm's length for the first two hours, then it settles closer to the skin. I wore it to a casual brunch and later while running errands. It held up well in the air conditioning, but felt a little too intense in the warmer outdoor sections of my day.
