A bouquet of white roses, labdanum, and wild orchid

I got this as a frimp from the lab. Thanks!

I was surprised that this worked at all on me, for any amount of time. I don't like roses at all. When it's wet, I had to hold my arms as far away from my nose as possible and not move them so I wouldn't get any throw. Evil killer roses!

After it dries down, it much more tolerable. It eventually becomes a soft, powdery floral, which is a relief. I think the orchid and labdanum must really tone it down. It's not a scent I'll ever reach for, but for people who like roses and/or soft florals, this is very lovely.

2/5
