{"product_id":"initio-parfums-prives-atomic-rose-eau-de-parfum","title":"Initio Parfums Privés Atomic Rose Eau de Parfum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Smells Like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitio Atomic Rose is a rich rose fragrance with vanilla and amber. It is part of The Carnal Blends, and it is one of the most admired modern rose perfumes: full and velvety, but bright enough to wear easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening is pink pepper and bergamot. Pink pepper is rosy and gently spicy rather than hot, so it lifts the rose instead of covering it, and the bergamot adds a brief citrus sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is the whole point. Two roses are used together: Bulgarian rose, which is deep, honeyed and jam-like, and Turkish rose, which is fresher and slightly peppery. Egyptian jasmine gives the bouquet a creamy fullness, so the rose smells like a living flower with weight and warmth, not a thin rosewater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is Madagascar vanilla and amber, soft and sweet, which makes the drydown smooth and a little powdery. Fragrantica's community ranks rose far ahead as the leading accord, followed by vanilla, soft spicy and citrus, and rates it 4.27 out of 5 from about 4,500 votes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Made It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitio does not name the perfumers behind most of its fragrances, and neither Fragrantica nor Parfumo lists one for Atomic Rose. We would rather leave the credit open than guess. The house presents its fragrances as the work of a collective, with the materials and their effect on mood placed ahead of any individual signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtomic Rose is for anyone who wants a serious rose perfume. Fragrantica lists it for women and men, and many men wear it, because the pepper and amber keep it from reading as conventionally pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you already know you love rose, this belongs on your shortlist. If you have found rose fragrances thin or old-fashioned, this may be the one that changes your mind. Can't Get Enough, from the same collection, takes rose in a sweeter direction with caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fragrantica votes are almost flat across the year. Winter, fall and spring are level, summer is only a little behind, and day and night are nearly tied. Very few fragrances are this season-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it for dates, celebrations and evenings out, or simply as a signature. Parfumo's community rates both projection and longevity as above average, so start with two sprays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the House\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitio Parfums Privés launched in Paris in 2015 with an unusual premise: that scent acts on mood and attraction before we consciously register it. The fragrances are built around materials chosen for that effect, such as musks, woods, resins and the jasmine-like molecule hedione, and they are grouped into collections with a stated purpose: The Absolutes, The Carnal Blends, The Black Gold Project, the Hedonist collection and Supercharged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottles are heavy, square-shouldered flacons with a metal medallion on the front, and the compositions tend to be concentrated and long-lasting. Initio is a boutique-only house at Redolia. It is sold at our perfumery at 92 West Main Street in Somerville, New Jersey, and not through the website.
