Loto Rosa Assoluto

I was worried a lotus scent would turn sharp or soapy, but this one stays delicate and exotic from the first spray to the dry down. It's clearly a carefully crafted, artistic composition rather than a simple floral, and I keep catching new facets of it hours later.

The lotus note is soft and almost watery, not the sharp floral I was bracing for. It wears close to the skin for the first hour, then opens into something warmer. I keep catching it on my wrist and pausing.

The pink lotus here smells dewy and a little green rather than soapy, which is exactly what I hoped for. It stays close to the skin for hours instead of shouting across the room.
