Aptly-named aquatic floral with spicy touches
One of the two initial releases from the new Pearlescent Parfums from Daniel Gallagher (of Gallagher Fragrances) is the appropriately-named Aquarose, a bright, fresh, aquatic rose fragrance. It mainly smells of a fresh rose, not screechy, accented by some spices and blended with mixed salt/freshwater concept. Even with notes of sea spray, driftwood, and ambergris listed, it does not feel distinctly marine to me, still hinting at freshwater, though the ambergris does add something faintly animalic to the mix. The blend also leans a bit musky, all while not veering toward the sweet at all, really.
Overall, I find Aquarose a very pleasing, versatile release, not stereotypically all that femine- or old- or young-leaning, but really a well blended concept that is fresh and bright but with some intrigue depth.
Aquarose (along with the other release, Baklava) is extrait concentration and is priced at $175 for 60ml, sold via the house website, which also sells a pair of 2ml samples.
