Paestum Rose
Eau de Toilette
by Eau d’Italie



The Scoop
A rose carved from ancient stone that begins to glow at the edges-- with a dry, peppery crackle-- then slowly comes to life. A gothic rose, dipped in incense, with the sheerness and intensity of sunlight shining through ruby red stained glass. Named for the ancient Roman city famed for its temples to the gods and its profusion of roses, this extraordinary fragrance is regal and pagan all at once. Velvety, wine-drenched Turkish rose luxuriates in a bed of sweet myrrh and bracingly dry and spicy frankincense and woods. The luminous, drunken petals float on breezy osmanthus and peony, but never stray far from the mesmerizing cedar, wenge and resins that give this fragrance its mysterious, shadowy power. A mythical rose, dark and glowing, fit for the gods.

I love this and I don't know why. On me it smells like cedar with a little rose thrown in but feels sophisticated . Part of me thinks it smells like those tourist cedar pillows you buy in the mountains and part of me thinks it smells like an exceedingly cool and different scent to wear through the day. I keep coming back to it so must work on me.

Interesting...definitely an adult scent as previously stated. Not really "wowed" by this one.

This is a great fragrance . . . as long as you are not expecting a rose centered scent. This is more of an incense wood fragrance with rose and black current added in. Bertrand Duchafour added lots of rose to his Jubilation XXV fragrance too, but this has a bit more rose I guess. The cinnamon, pink pepper, coriander and tea is very prominent in the opening coupled with a bit of rose. Has a tea rose woody incense feel. The drydown retains hints of the rose but the patchouli and other light woods are more noticeable. A charming fairy tale of a fragrance. I like it quite a bit, but it is definitely not like any of the great rose fragrances (No. 88, Black Tie, Black Aoud). It is a wonderful incense fragrance though.

This is one of those perfumes which smelled delicious in the bottle and even better throughout the day. Very dark and complex.

May a bottle of Paestum Rose always be on my dresser! It is the ultimate rose for me, so much more beautiful than anything by Rosine. It is deeply dark and wondrous, Burr was right to give it five stars and call it a Masterpiece.

I've worn this for a few days now and it has "converted" those who have always told me they can't stand perfumes. The darkness in this scent is miraculous. For me this is more a fragrant representation of shadow and twilight than of rose . . . and that's fine. It is not precious at all - there is something of an understated seduction to it. A very adult scent. Perhaps a young woman who was very mature and sure of herself might wear it well though.

I concur with previous reviews, the cedar is quite predominant in this one, however it's really nice. Not getting quite as much rose as I had hoped but this is a very unique and, the best word I can think of, "restrained" scent. I see a woman in an exquisite suit wowing everyone at a board meeting. Not very sexy, not for the young. Limited sillage, lasting power quite good.

I wish this worked on me, but, alas, I get Eau de Buttermilk au Dried Rose. It takes about two hours for the buttermilk accord to settle. By then, of course, I've already washed it off and put on something that actually likes me. Oh well. The dry-down is still nice, but not my cup.

This reminds me of rose petals scattered across an antique, four poster bed -- a bed located somewhere in the Vatican...

I sampled this scent,from Aedes,and had mixed feelings,Excellent sillage,it will last all day! It is similar to a Serge rose,in its damp,complexity.The note that TRULY stands out,is the cedar,it is VERY domineering,but this is a very stand out,well done fragrance!

Chandler Burr did not oversell this scent. It's a miraculously un-cloying representation of rose-- more like dried rose petals than like burying your nose in the blossom itself.
