    I was really attracted to the idea of the scent of a yellow rose, but they lost me at watermelon and green tea… 🙁

      Green tea is ok with me, watermelon isn’t. But I have heard the original PS Rose is a great scent.

      Yellow roses are my absolute favorite. I recommend Parfums de Rosine Rose d’Ete. It does have a faintly-fruity cast (apple and a melon that smells like honeydew to me), but that seems to round out the yellow-rose scent.

      I haven’t smelled the Paul Smith original, but I’ve made a serious attempt to find a scent that smells like fresh yellow roses, and Rose d’Ete is just what I wanted.

    Gosh, that’s very…yellow. It’s enough to make me start sneezing.

    Cassis, violet- so far so good. Hold it! Watermelon? You just lost me.

    Watermelon is my favorite fruit to eat, not wear. Take that note out and I’d be willing to give it a sniff.

      Don’t think they will though.

    No roses for me. I like roses as flowers, but not wenn the main overwhelming scent in perfume is roses. It does not suit me, the perfume is walking with me….

    The original Paul Smith rose is watery and bland to my nose, so not looking forward to this one, better off buying rosewater from an Asian grocer I think.

    No violet for me, that note just kills perfumes for me.

      I like violet a lot, but have found that I don’t like the predominately rose-violet combos, like Drole de Rose and Lipstick Rose. Violet seems to be used in the fruitier-style roses? Anyway, not my thing.

    The original PS Rose is definitely on the lighter side, but for me that was a plus. Some roses (like the Bulgari rose) start well enough, but then can grow really heady, harsh and cloying on me, to the point of suffocation. PS Rose had rose, magnolia, green tea, violet, musk and cedar, and was a quiet, fresh, green rose that I could wear all day without getting sick of. This summer rose lost me at the watermelon.

      As I said above, I heard good things about the original, but never tried it. My local Neiman Marcus has a few Paul Smith scents, but not that one. I’ll find it some day!

    I have the original PS rose, I got it to wear as bridesmaid for my sister’s wedding and it was perfect. Light, lasted all day, and a classic rose scent perfect for the occasion! Im not wearing it so much at the minute though, it really is a spring/summer scent but I’d definitley want to smell this new one watermelon aside! you never know! I quite like the yellow rose idea!
