Prima Rosa is the perfect fragrance for the modern woman in her romantic mood. It can reconciliate her with innate yearning for romanticism, often repressed or hidden.
Prima Rose is a fragrance that features a modern rose. It was designed for an Italian fashion house of wedding dresses. It is a purely romantic fragrance meant to make the bride feel like a queen.
Rose is the perfume of pure love, it emanates from the flower that symbolizes femininity in its most perfect manifestation of beauty, sensuality and spirituality.
Prima Rosa is a modern interpretation of the scent of rose, meant for the very assertive and independent Italian lady, for one of the most important day of their life: her marriage.
In order to obtain her perfect bridal scent, Rose was blended with Ylang Ylang, Rosewood, Ambrette, exotic spices (Nutmeg, Cardamom…) and Italian aromatic herbs (Clary Sage, Lavender…).
Prima Rosa is a Rose fragrance that unites tradition and modernity.
Crdb on basenotes –
It is a magnificent rose. There is a rose in my father in law’s garden that grows alone under his kumquat tree and it smells very similar – complex, delicate, balanced. A citrussy side, very light and fresh, reminiscent of the perfect balance of spices and verbena-lemon of the original Monsieur de Givenchy.
I wrote this before Prima Rosa had anything written on it, anywhere. Mr. Dubrana had suggested it when I asked him about rose. And that’s it, really. That’s the beauty of it. Just rose.
Except according to the notes, it isn’t. To me, Prima Rosa succeeds where Nahema failed (at least according to my relatively novice note, perhaps blasé by the advances perfumery has made in recreating rose since) in creating and augmenting the perfect rose with multiple ingredients manipulated with mastery.
Longevity and projection are the worst of any of the line, so either spray extremely generously and take the spray with you during the day, or assume that it will be gone in half an hour. Still worth it.
