Roses are one of those things. They come in so many types and combinations that it’s impossible to say whether you like rose fragrances or not. From powdery-soapy with ruffles to cool and distant to spiritual or even brute in combination with oud. Two reports that I wrote here a long time ago spontaneously come to mind. “Real guys: Caraceni’s bespoke suit of eau de toilette<\/a>” from 2011. There I naively asked: “A rose fragrance for men, is that possible?” To determine exactly this. Unfortunately, it no longer exists. A year later, I “fabulated” about “Parfums de Rosines Slam Dunk”<\/a>and linked a rose fragrance with the basketball player Derrick Rose. Only the AI is currently hallucinating so wildly.<\/p>\n\n

Today I am holding two rose fragrances from the French brand Marie Jeanne<\/a> under my nose and I am confident that I will discover modern representatives of the “queen of flowers”.<\/p>\n\n

Rose Shiso – rose always works<\/h2>\n\n

Rose Shiso<\/a> makes no secret of the fact that we are dealing with a combination of rose and shiso leaves. But what was Shiso again? The plant is also called Perilla (Perilla frutescens<\/em>). The essential oil from the leaves is said to have a spicy and green character and is reminiscent of cumin.<\/p>\n\n

\u30ed\u30fc\u30ba\u30b7\u30f3 is written on the label, which probably means “R\u014dzu Shin”. Who knows Japanese and can interpret these kanji? <\/p>\n\n

But now to the fragrance itself. The rose is not long in coming and reveals itself immediately. Powdery, floral and bright. No heaviness, freshness, cleanliness and transparency (thanks to magnolia), I perceive. The leaves are particularly evident on the skin, green, somewhat herbaceous, but without cumine notes, which I am relieved to note. Even if the fragrance notes (see below) suggest otherwise, Rose Shiso is minimalist and not at all complex. Just imagine a herbaceous-green rose. The basic mood is bright, positive and \u2014 I know the image has been used very often, but it applies here \u2014 a walk through a rose garden. After a while, the leaves recede a little and matching woods emerge. <\/p>\n\n

Rose Shiso is something for the warmer seasons and is unisex thanks to its minimalism. However, rose always leans a little in the feminine direction. I think the fragrance is a great example of how rose scents can work today without any historical baggage. Absolutely modern! <\/p>\n\n
