Rose Otto - Klassisk lys

I've burned through a lot of rose candles that smell like soap, but this one actually has that fresh-cut Bulgarian rose depth. It fills my whole living room within twenty minutes and doesn't get headachey the way synthetics do.

The scent is so authentic it genuinely smells like walking through a dew-covered rose garden, not a synthetic perfume. I lit it in my bedroom and the Bulgarian rose note filled the space within twenty minutes, lasting a solid three hours after I blew it out.

This candle throws a wonderfully true Bulgarian rose note, like crushed fresh petals rather than something syrupy. It burns evenly enough, though I found the scent fades a bit after a few hours in a larger room. Still, for a quiet bath it's exactly the rose garden escape I was after.
