PERFUMER H ROSE REVIEWS
The Black Narcissus: Rather than a shrill soprano, this is a fulsome contralto: liquid and aromatic, the rose at the heart and within the perfume calling to you with magnetically soft fougere accents beneath – gentle, uncliched patchouli; black pepper, carrot seed and smooth, delicate musk – a beautiful woman in a trench coat, perhaps, at twilight, on some secret assignation.
Get Lippie: A luminous and solar fragrance, radiating light and joy from the skin when you wear it. Imagine a bright pink rose, lit from within, and that is the essence of rose that Lyn has managed to capture here. Some of the notes include carrot seed and black pepper, and there’s a wonderfully cuddly amber base beneath. It lacks that sour and occasionally placticky effect you can get with some roses, and it seems oddly modern as a result. This is not your grandmother’s rose.
