Absoluto de Rosa Búlgara

I've been wearing rose perfumes for years and this absolute has a richness I didn't expect — deep and almost honeyed rather than soapy. A single drop on the wrist lasts all day, which is rare for a natural rose essence. Worth the splurge if you love a true, velvety rose.

The velvety depth here is unreal — it smells like actual crushed petals, not the sharp alcohol-heavy rose oils I've tried. One dab on my wrist lasted a full workday and mellowed into something warmer by evening.

I've tried a few rose absolutes before and most turn sharp or soapy on my skin, but this one stays velvety and deep for hours. A single drop on the wrist is honestly enough.
