Rose and Roses are synonymous with Valentine's Day, be it a floral arrangement, a single rose or items which are rose related and whether or not you like the flower or what it symbolises, it isn't going anywhere soon, especially when there are fragrances as wonderful as Neon Rose from Floral Street.
For those people who dislike rose as a scent, read on, because this is not a rose scent in literal terms. Sitting firmly within the Floral family and it is described as being for the fiery, quirky, striking and expressive and exactly as a neon rose would smell - so quite the description.
If you are unfamiliar with the brand Floral Street, I have featured them here on my blog many times. They are a brand built on the streets of London and one which is about breaking with tradition. It’s about peeling back the curtain of the secret world of fragrance. It’s about ease, modernity and joy. Each perfume, which can be refilled, comes packaged inside a re-usable box and tray. I use the tray for potting seeds an then put them in my mini greenhouse as they make great propagators.
The Neon Rose Eau de Parfum from Floral Street has notes of freshly chopped jasmine, rose, angelica and bergamot and is referred to as being a crisp twist on feminine florals. Added to that is crisp angelica leaves, sweet apple blossom and uplifting bergamot and as always with Floral Street, there is a twist and with this one it is Sichuan Pepper!. When spritzed the fragrance starts with sweet but incredibly fresh top notes which come from the inclusion of Bergamot, Cassis kir, Apple blossom, Sichuan pepper which gives it that short snappy spice note which then settles as the middle notes of Cyclamen, Juniper berry, Jasmine Egypt, Angelica take those top notes and really bring them to life because here you have everything - the florals, the green notes, the fruity notes, the woodiness and it manages to make a floral fragrance, less about the floral and more about the striking! Finally the base notes of White cedar, Peach nectar, Amber to really bring home that fruity-floral without being dominant in either camp.
As a fragrance and something I have found with every scent I have tried from Floral Street, the longevity far outweighs most other fragrances I own, once it has been applied. They are expressive fragrances and they are ones which settle and linger for hours, by hours I mean all day and you can still catch a feel of it the following morning. For me, there is absolutely nothing to dislike about this fragrance. I love that it is a take on the modern Rose theme, by making it more wearable for many people and once you try it, I dare you not to love it!
