Rose Jam 2019
Fragrance notes
Rose Jam 2019 opens like a spoonful of homemade marmalade struck through with a fistful of crushed rose petals, the Turkish rose and rose oil sitting thick and jammy before the lemon zips in to cut the sweetness. There is a flicker of heat from the spicy notes, something like clove or a whisper of pink pepper, but it never overwhelms the candy bright fruitiness. As it dries down, the geranium adds a green, slightly powdery edge that keeps the whole affair from collapsing into pure sugar. The overall character is a sticky, sun warmed rose bush growing through a kitchen herb patch, a bit messy, a bit deliberate.
This is a unabashedly sweet floral, leaning into a synthetic gourmand brightness that Lush does so well, but it is not a natural rose soliflore by any stretch. The 4.01 rating makes sense: it is beloved for its sheer, joyful presence, yet the absence of any reported longevity or sillage numbers hints at something fleeting, a scent that blooms loudly then fades into a soft skin rose within a few hours. It suits anyone who wants to smell like a candied bouquet on a sunny afternoon, perfect for brunch, a picnic, or a lazy spring day. Skip it if you prefer austere, dark roses or anything that whispers instead of giggles. Who wouldn’t want a dollop of rose jam on their wrist, at least once?
