Les Parfums de Rosine Clair Matin (2011) {Perfume Review} {New Fragrance}
Clair Matin means something akin to "a bright and early morn" in French.

The new scent is yet another research into the perfumes of roses, the house's trademark olfactory signature.

For rose lovers always on the lookout for new rose perfumes, be it known that this is a tart, green composition with a certain level of complexity to it despite it being of a lighter concentration, it being an "Eau Fraîche." The scent eschews the most predictable shortcut to a clean, aseptic and transparent rose treatment while managing to be refreshing, crisp and fruity. The blend offers a balanced charm with little touches here and there that connoisseurs will appreciate, and an understated yet definite push in the direction of tangy.
