     Thanks to Narrow Gate for the sample. The Rasei Fort leather series continues to be reviewed, and Rose Otto Mobil is given a try.

      Let's talk about the name first. A literal translation is probably Mobile Rose Otto? In Hong Kong, it is translated as "Rose Field Fragrance", in Taiwan as "Rose Love Poem", and on the mainland as "Garden of Roses Dream Trail". Which translation would you prefer? As for the background story of this work, a guy named Swenford Gulsevenskis broke down on the way from the rose field to the distillation and refinement factory with fresh picked Bulgarian rose petals. Trapped in the car, he spent hours writing love letters to his beloved, and finally fell asleep on a bag of fragrant rose petals. Isn't that a bit romantic? Back to the fragrance, after the opening, before I smell the rose, I first smell the metallic and sour green, the former should not be separated from the spices, including the pungent spices such as clove that can easily create a metallic smell, which is that kind of cool and a little metallic smell, I don't like it; the latter is attributed to the tomato leaf, this sour and green smell is not only eye-catching, but also very recognizable, whether in Sisley Eau de Campagne or Miller Harris's One Leaf, or ADV's eponymous fragrance, it can be quickly identified, and this work is no exception, even if it appears briefly, it is hard not to leave an impression on the tomato leaf. Later, the rose and tuberose will take over the baton of the metallic and sour green, and begin to show their talents. Although the tuberose shows the usual graceful texture of a plump beauty, it is fortunately sensible and does not steal the limelight from the rose; the rose is of a heavier texture, and is by no means a fresh and tender rose that is still wet with dew, but an oriental rose with a honey-sweet and amber ointment fragrance, which is also in line with Rasei Fort's common style, except this time it didn't bring apple flavor...

I prefer the Caribbean Echo of the same series (picture from the official) The lasting time is 4-6 hours, and the sillage is average. I don't know why, but this work seems to have less sillage than the other few in the same series. As a rose head, Garden of Roses Dream Trail is not very attractive to me, probably because of the metallic feel in the front and middle, and there will be a powdery feel of iris in the fragrance in the back, which also does not steal the show, but also does not optimize the performance of the rose, I think it is quite ordinary.
