Bourbon French – Damask Rose (2021)

Described as mild and sweet, Damask Rose is the fifth rose-centered fragrance from Bourbon French, after Rose, Cameo Rose, Tea Rose and Oriental Rose.

Unlike the previous four, Damask Rose is extremely light and to my nose reminiscent of a classic white rose scent. There is an equally light green woody base that is hard for me to identify.

With soliflores, there is not much to say other than are they true or not. What I can detect from Damask Rose is so faint that it may have been dubbed Ghost Rose and been more accurate in its description. This is a mere whisper of rose, pale and gentle. Perhaps this was created for New Orleans belles wanting a rose that would not dominate in the humid atmospheres of Southern soirees.

Their best rose for me (and one of the very best soliflore rose scents out there) is still their Rose, strong, deep and rich, with their Tea Rose running a close second.
