A playful rose cut with grapefruit and mint
Essential Parfums Rose Magnetic is an Eau de Parfum by Sophie Labbé, described by the brand as a modern, playful rose. Two rose ingredients sit at its core, with bitter grapefruit and fresh peppermint set against them, and lychee, cedarwood, musks and vanilla bean behind. Rose is a note people either love or avoid, so a sample is the honest way in.

The composition
These notes are recorded without a pyramid.
On the skin
Rose Essential LMR and Turkish rose absolute are the two rose ingredients the brand names, and it describes both as certified 'For Life'. With two of them the flower has more than one face. Spray the decant and notice whether the rose feels fresh or lush on your skin, since both words appear in the brand's own description.
Bitter grapefruit and peppermint are placed against the lush rose. They are there for contrast: the bitterness should stop the flower from tipping into sugar, and the mint adds a cool breath. Check whether the mint reads as refreshing on you or as simply too minty.
Lychee, cedarwood, musks and vanilla bean complete the list. Lychee adds juicy sweetness, cedarwood a dry frame, and the musks and vanilla a rounded softness. The brand gives no pyramid, only the names, so treat them as one blend and watch how it turns from bright to soft as time passes.
Testing it
Try it in two settings: a spring morning and a warm autumn evening. Apply it to the wrist, not to clothes, and judge once the grapefruit and mint have settled back. The brand describes a rose for many seasons, which a few test days can confirm for you. Wear it at least twice before you decide anything.
People who like a rose that is given a modern twist, with bitter fruit, cool mint and a soft backing of vanilla and musk. It is unisex, and its contrasts keep the flower upbeat and far from syrupy. If rose perfumes have felt too sweet or too old-fashioned to you before, this is a low-risk way to try again.
Rose is one of the most personal notes: the same flower can come across as powdery, fruity or green depending on the skin. Rose Magnetic adds grapefruit, mint and lychee, which makes it hard to predict from a list. A 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you find out. It is not a brand sample.

Some softness comes from lychee and vanilla bean, while the bitter grapefruit and peppermint pull the other way. Only a test shows whether the balance feels fresh or sugary on you.
That is a good use of a sample. The rose is cut with grapefruit and peppermint and softened by lychee and musks, so it may feel different from the traditional bouquet you expect.
The brand
Essential Parfums was started in Paris in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault after thirty years in the industry, with one rule: a different perfumer for every eau de parfum, working freely and signing the bottle. The brand states 16 to 18% concentration and 82 to 93% ingredients of natural origin, alcohol from beetroot and no added colour. The results are clear and uncluttered, which is why a sample tells you quickly whether a bottle belongs on your shelf.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
