Rosee de Nuit by Friedemodin






It's not often that a perfume of the week receives universal approval in the office, but this week's perfume - Rosee de Nuit by Friedemodin - gained a big thumbs up from everyone.

"Soft, round and warm, fresh and comforting, pretty and lovely" are just a few of the positive descriptors  whispered around the office after spraying and wearing.  In fact more than just one spray - a few sneaky sprays were had this week as we all gradually fell in love with Rosee de Nuit.

The perfume name prepares you for a rush of floral, but on the contrary - this perfume is softly tinged with woods (teak, patchouli and sandalwood) and gentle spices (cardamon and pimento berries) with gentle layers of violet.

When it comes to violets I usually brace myself for a rush of little purple sweets, but this perfume is different - and a big relief.  Beta ionone, an aroma chemical and our chosen aroma of the week, gives a soft hint of violets that are warm and inviting as if it wants to wrap around your skin and embrace you. This is apparent in Rosee de Nuit - it caresses and cares and makes you feel safe, secure and serene.

It's akin to a favourite grandmother tucking you in at night, but this grandmother isn't typical, she's updated her wardrobe, her make up, her scent and her style.  She's still a granny but she's chic and cool.  And she's probably wearing Rosee de Nuit, love her.
