Key Notes of Floral Rhubarb
What Does Floral Rhubarb Smell Like
Dossier’s Floral Rhubarb perfume is a fruity, floral fragrance that opens with a juicy burst of rhubarb, complemented by the softer sweetness of orange blossom and peach. Its initial burst gradually mellows, revealing an unusual floral heart where daffodil and narcissus bloom in unison. The milky accord adds a creamy layer to the scent, softening the bold floral center. This combination produces an uncommon, enriching aroma that veers towards the gourmand when fully developed.
As the perfume matures on the skin, cedarwood, blond woods, and musks emerge as the base notes. The cedarwood lends a clean, woody undertone, while blond woods add a faint warmth to the scent. The musks round off the fragrance with a subtle, smooth finish. Overall, Floral Rhubarb smells like a lavish bouquet of spring blossoms, dipped in a savoring fruity compote with a hint of woody creaminess. It is a scent that feels natural on the skin, evoking images of fresh flowers in a sun-drenched garden, ripe fruits ready for the picking, and warm, milky comforts.
Review of Floral Rhubarb
Dossier's Floral Rhubarb perfume is an affordable alternative to the high-end Marc Jacobs' Perfect fragrance, with a price point of $29 compared to the steep $99 of its muse. With an 18% concentration, this perfume manages to capture the essence of the original scent with an elegant twist.
The Floral Rhubarb leans heavily into a feminine profile with its floral notes and a juicy rhubarb accent, making it a refreshing choice for individuals who enjoy fragrances that are light yet memorable. The inclusion of daffodil and narcissus, flowers rarely seen in the perfumery world, gives it an original touch, making it suitable for those who appreciate a bit of uniqueness in their scent.
In comparison to Marc Jacobs' Perfect, the Floral Rhubarb offers a similar olfactory experience. However, the absence of the almond milk and cashmeran notes in the dupe might make it less comforting to some noses accustomed to Perfect's distinctive blend. That being said, the Floral Rhubarb's milky accord does add a soothing touch that attempts to fill this void.
This perfume's strength lies in its ability to present a well-rounded scent at a fraction of the cost. However, it should be noted that while it is a solid dupe, it may not fully satisfy those seeking a perfect match to the original Marc Jacobs' scent.
In terms of packaging, Dossier goes for simplicity, which might not be as appealing to those who are drawn by the artistic charm of Marc Jacobs' bottles.
Overall, Dossier's Floral Rhubarb is a value-for-money choice for those who fancy floral and fruity fragrances and are looking for a scent that is reminiscent of Marc Jacobs' Perfect without breaking the bank. But bear in mind, while it shares a similar spirit, it is not an exact replica of the iconic scent.
