SoTD: Stella Rose Absolute & Molinard Mure

Today is going to be a very long day, so I have decided to go with Stella Rose Absolute for strength and for cheeriness layering it with Molinard Mure. By the end of the day when I get home I will most likely slip into something on the insanely comforting side.

SOTD: Stella Rose Absolute

I remember when I first smelled Lancome's Mille et Une Roses I was reminded immediately of Stella Rose Absolute. Yet as time has progressed I can see their differences very easily. Mille et Une Roses is a softer gentler scent meant to envelope one in serenity and dusk, where as Stella Rose Absolute is a wilder harsher scent, the bergamot adds a noticiable tang that remains through out the scent and amber used is darker, this scent never sweetens like Mille et Une Roses. Stella Rose Absolute is the woodsier and fey sister to Mille et Une Roses delicate dusky angelic quality.
