Perle de L'Euphrate (*Rouhanne Perfumes, 2022): It is a rose soliflore where ambergris and rose plays the most important roles - from the start till the end. I get crushed rose stems & leaves (a slightly astringent smell). Some of the other rose facets I get here are - dewy, slightly smoky, herbaceous, sweet (less so), incense and many more - all within a slightly noirish shroud of ambergris! The rose stem quality reminds me of Rose de Malaisie (2017, Le Maison Khenata).
The citrusy and minty qualities of rose are toned down and its incense facet is amped up - possibly with the help of frankincense. Perhaps there is elemi too. After 3-4 hours, I get peek-e-boo whiffs of some kind of blond tobacco. This could also be coming from ambergris because I have smelt ambergris that had similar facets.
Quite a moody rose composition. I'm very happy with my purchase and supporting such nice people and craftsmanship.
