Perfume
Paestum Rose
A rosy, feminine Jubilation-like incense/amber scent that settled into a familiar synthetic rose-oud profile; not for me.
ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE
Reference sources describe Paestum Rose as a rose, resin and incense composition, with black pepper and coriander around Turkish rose and osmanthus over myrrh, opoponax and woods.
OUR REVIEW
Firsthand reviewPaestum Rose initially felt like a rosier, more feminine version of Jubilation 25, with olibanum, incense, amber, possible synthetic oud, plenty of sandalwood and a davana-like facet.
The familiar synthetic rose-and-oud signature became clearer to me, in the same broad territory as Indonesian Oud or Rose d’Arabie. A second wearing did not improve my opinion, and I did not think it was worth buying.
