The Scoop
Pose as Rose captures the bright citrus opening and floral heart of Rose Cherie quite well, with the rose and peony notes translating effectively. However, the base lacks the refined sandalwood depth of the original, relying more on amber and musk which gives it a slightly sweeter, less sophisticated finish.
Key Differences
The clone's longevity is slightly shorter (4-5 hours vs 6-7 hours) and the sillage is more moderate. The base drydown feels warmer and more powdery compared to the original's elegant woody finish.

What wearers say
“I'm convinced I got a bad batch because there is NO WAY this is supposed to smell like this, & there's people actually enjoying it. It straight up smells like a hair salon or when you dye your hair. That awful smell of ammonia. It is awful awful awful. I really wanted to love this & thought I would based on the notes, but...... Absolutely not.”
“Bottle is totally gorgeous but the smell isn’t for me. I love powdery sweet fragrances. but this is pure talc to me. I get no sweetness - and it’s grandma vibes. Doesn’t seem strong or last lasting either.I’ll reevaluate after it’s sat a while but initially this is a blind but fail.White as tuberose on the other hand - total winner out the gate.”
“Fresh rose is my favorite scent. However, this is not a rose fragrance to my nose. After the first minute through the entire drydown, this is a sweet candied violet scent. Not as sweet as Mallow, but still primarily a sweet candy violet. I’m the very deep drydown, it become more powdery, but also quite faint. I think it would be a nice fragrance if you are a fan of sweet violet- I don’t think it should be named rose though.”
