ROSE ERA BY MONET - 30 ML TUOKSU

I was worried a rose scent might go powdery on me, but this stays dewy and fresh from morning to afternoon. The strawberry keeps it from feeling too grown-up, and for a 30 ml bottle it's lasted me way longer than expected.

The strawberry hits first, then settles into the rose after about ten minutes — I wore it to a brunch and got two compliments before I'd even sat down. At 30 ml it fits in my jacket pocket, which is exactly what I wanted for touch-ups.

The strawberry is what sold me, and it's genuinely there without turning candy-sweet; the rose stays soft and dewy underneath. Two sprays on my wrist lasted a full workday.
