The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 December 2019 8 Comments

From Guerlain for Chinese New Year: Rosa Rossa in red. "Rosa Rossa belongs to the Aqua Allegoria collection, the first collection in perfumery of intensely-fresh fragrances, created in 1999. [...] The guiding thread of the collection is bergamot, a precious citrus fruit that’s sometimes called "Calabrian green gold," and the key ingredient in the Guerlinade. Rosa Rossa is an eau de toilette which embodies the unexpected encounter between a delicate rose and a duo of lychee and blackcurrant notes." $132 CAD at Shoppers Drug Mart. (At Neiman Marcus, you can find a red bottle of Eau de Cologne Impériale, $105 for 100 ml.)

      Almost every bottle is prettier in red! I do think the Cologne Impériale is prettier (the bee bottle).

    I don’t get excited about the AA scents..most are too citrusy for me.

    Kilian has a red bottle..nice but don’t care for the scent.

    Agree that the Eau de Cologne Imperiale bottle is nicer!

    The first fresh collection? Well, I guess I can’t prove them wrong.
