Vero Kern has long been a favorite of ÇaFleureBon, and her new perfume releases have been met with anticipation. Her latest and fifth fragrance, .rozy., which is available in EDP, Extrait, and Voile D'Extrait, is no exception. Fulfilling a long-held dream of creating a rose fragrance, Ms. Kern states: "I did not want just imitate the scent of a rose such as we find of nature, usually garnished with always the same notes or even with oud as it is currently trend. This scent is supposed to be the rosy playback for the secrecy, the vibrancy, and the divine in the rose. The rose is the flower of virgins and women, but also of vice and prostitution. Thorns and roses symbolize the ambivalence of love and sorrow – the drama of finite love … ". I was scheduled to meet Ms. Kern while I was in Milan, which I was greatly looking forward to, but she was under the weather, unfortunately. Smelling this new fragrance almost made up for my disappointment, though. It is a stellar creation, and the Voile D'Extrait made me weak in the knees.
