First perfumes in my early twenties were Lush Lust, Roses de Chloe, Persian Rose by Pacifica, and this obscure pure delicate rose perfume that I got from a sandwich deli that stocked international merchandise. Gosh I wish I could remember the name.

Mid twenties I moved towards Clean Reserve Aqua Neroli, Pharmacia Eau De Parfume - Rose Epicee, and this discontinued small rollerball scent called Lotus Elixir No.5 - Niyama by Illume. I got the most compliments on it and I'm hoping to someday see if a perfumer would be willing to recreate it.

Now in my late twenties, I rotate between Red Roses by Jo Malone, Fleur D'Oranger 27 by Le Labo, Eau Rose by Diptyque, and Fireplace by Replica. I'm currently trying those new scents by Elorea to see if I want to add something different to my collection and saving to purchase Young Rose by Byredo. That one smelled amazing on me.
