Rosa Verdade (2018) Mellifluence Attar Review*
Rosa Verdade is a rose festival from Mellifluence Perfumes - a one man all-natural perfume brand by Abdullah. It starts off with a beautiful sparkly green and slightly spicy rose note coming from all those different rose ingredients - assisted by neroli. The neroli is not strong enough to b e indolic, which is a good feature in this composition as it is a very soft rose soliflore to my nose. I suspect it helps to lift the citrus/sparkly facets at initial stage. From the very beginning I also get a rose smell that I tend to get only after the top note subsides - i.e., reduced intensity of sparkly, citrus and green facets of rose. This smell is quite realistic – as if I am smelling rose from the plant in the morning when rose shreds most of its fragrance. RV is never too loud, always demure and avuncular. Rosa Verdade (2018): A Demure Rose Soliflore I then get a creamy rose, which to me, is the best part of this attar. It is probably coming from the 15 years old D.
