SOTD: Parfum Sacre

There are so many variations of the rose fragrance, some go for the perfect soliflore, some are a perfect Morgane Le Fay fragrance such as Stella Rose Absolute, some are the perfect idea of angelic Mille et Une Roses, others are the abundent opulence of Marie Antoinette such as Lipstick Rose or Paris, but today was the need for the mysterious spiritual rose. Parfum Sacre is perfect idea of the sacred rose it is dry incense laden satin rose, it is dusky sunset just as the sky turns to the dark blue of night. It is perfectly mysterious and wish Caron would pay attention to its beauty because this scent is what so many of rose fragrances are trying to be.

Mysterious is a good description: I personally had tied it in with insence.
You miust be having cooler weather than we have: it's weirdly summery these past couple of days here.

Much cooler weather over here. It is storming outside with lightening and thunder and I am loving it. The incense note definately gives it the mysterious quality.

Mmm-incense and rose... sounds very luxurious...

I'm glad you're finally getting your cooler weather- we are getting it too..

Hope you are fully recovered from your dental visit!

Daily I highly recommend that you go search for it; it can be found at really reasonable prices and it is one of a kind gorgeous. Glad to here it is getting cooler down there :-). Took another day for recovery.

Gosh this sounds so good. I feel I must have tried this but obviously didn't give it due attention. Aside from Nuit De Noel and Pour Homme which are both fabulous I feel I don't know the Caron's as well as I should.

Perfume Sacre was one of those that hung around in my imagination after I had sampled it...I love how it is dense without being cloying...am quite happy to have purchased my full bottle. :)
