Turkish Rose
by Nest
Turkish Rose by Nest is a sweet, fruity, and soft rose fragrance with a prominent plum opening and subtle white wood base. It presents a youthful, fresh, and approachable interpretation of rose, veering toward a confectionary, juicy profile rather than a traditional floral one. The scent is delicate and intimate, best appreciated close to the skin—ideal for summer daytime wear. Its character is enhanced by a delicate but slightly synthetic dry down, which some find bland or slightly gummy, though others appreciate its enduring sweetness. The fragrance exhibits moderate longevity and is particularly well-suited for layering, enhancing other perfumes with a juicy, rose-melon-like warmth. Despite its appealing profile for rose skeptics, the low sillage and average longevity may disappoint those seeking stronger impact or extended wear. Many users describe it as a modern, wearable, 'rosy' idea that appeals to those who dislike conventional rose scents.
Pros
- +Compatible with sensitive or flower-averse skin, offering a light, youthful, and feminine rose without heaviness.
- +Excellent for layering to add depth and freshness to other fragrances.
- +Appealing for those disenchanted with classic rose scents due to its sweet, fruity, and modern profile.
- +Has a soft, clean, and balanced character that feels ideal for spring and summer wear.
Cons
- −Extremely low sillage, requiring close proximity to detect—not suitable for those seeking presence or projection.
- −Average longevity disappoints for a fragrance, especially an oil priced as high as this.
- −Strong synthetic dry down noted by many users, described as gummy, sticky, or reminiscent of cloud-like unisex synthetic notes.
