I was astonished to discover that I had kindly been gifted this by a special friend and my excitement knew no bounds. Most of my fragrances are rose-based: Rose is so fresh, reminiscent of Stately Homes, magestic and delicate. The fragrance which came closest to capturing rose that I owned was from Paul Smith. But it wasn’t quite “there”. Finally, somebody has truly captured rose and bottled it. And please believe me - it is perfect. I cannot fault OUAI’s fragrance in any way at all, from its presentation box to the clean aesthetics of the bottle with a magnetic lid. I’d like to publicly thank my generous friend for such a thoughtful gift. I’m going through some nightmare scenarios at the moment and this is the sunshine breaking through the storm clouds. If you’re a rose lover like I am, do NOT lose the opportunity to own this: it’s enduring, alluring and un-put-downable! Shakespeare said it best: “WHAT’S IN A NAME? THAT WHICH WE CALL A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET.”
