Sirenfox's Full Review: Baby Rose Jeans Perfume by Gianni Versace Eau De T...
I know I've said it before (with Gio and Addict), and who knows, I may say it again, but this is one of my signatures, most likely beating out Gio for THE Joanna Capello signature perfume. Not only does the name embody me and my personality perfectly, but the blend of scents are exactly what I would mix in a custom perfume. I'd probably add magnolia and gardenia, a little more citrus and maybe a dusting of chocolate, but for the most part...oh heck, here it is:
"Baby Rose opens with refreshing top notes of Mandarin, Freesia and Neroli combined with fragrant florals of Violet, Iris, Hyacinth and Lily of the Valley to comprise the heart of the fragrance. The base of Baby Rose dries down into a subtle melange of Vetiver and Sandalwood with an infusion of Vanilla. In a signature Versace Jeans bottle, Baby Rose is as pink as candies and optimism."
I'm not a pink person, but the right kind of pink is good. I'm very innocent at heart but I'm steel on the inside; I'm like a kitten who loves to be cuddled but knows how to use its claws and hates being messed with. That's what Baby Rose is for me. In the bottle, it is the sweetest floral mix you'll probably ever smell that WON'T make your head spin or make you sneeze--like walking under a tree when the magnolia blossoms have fallen after the rain, then walking into a kitchen full of fresh oranges. On my skin, it's like a pleasent hard-candy floral that dries down, not chemically at all, to a whisper of petals and citrus. It's like being kissed by a child at a carnval.
The canister just makes me laugh. The Jeans collection from Gianni Versace is packaged in cylinder tins with the color of the name (Blue Jeans, Red Jeans, etc) and features an image from the '40s or '50s, like a woman in front of a mirror. Baby Rose is petal-pink, and the bottle is shaped like a squat Coke bottle, frosted clear, with a pink rose-shaped cap.
The price is great too--under thirty bucks. In fact, when I came up to the street vendor I got Gio from, I asked him if he had any light citrus-floral vanilla scents, and after about two seconds he grinned at me, reached into his wares, and handed me the tin of Baby Rose, saying he would charge me twenty. I smelled it and bought it right there. Of course, it helped that he liked to flirt with me!
Baby Rose is something I can wear everyday, even as a deodorant. I usually just spritz it in my hair and a little on my throat, and occasionally after a shower, they way my boyfriend uses WhiteWater. I have learned to never spray perfume on the wrists and rub them together; that bruises and changes the scent. It's better to spray on the inside of your forearm near the elbow, in the hair, on the nape of the neck, and against the chest, where the scent will linger.
Ask me again what I love after I've reviewed Aqua Di Gio, but Baby Rose shall always remain on top.
