What wearers say
“This smells absolutely delicious to me, like something I want to eat immediately! Something juicy, fruity, sweet, and tangy. The opening absolutely smells like delina to me, but then the rose begins to lead in the dry down. It smells like BR 540 in the dry down for sure. I like it! Definitely a powerhouse fragrance and lasts forever.”
“I'm so glad this doesn't smell like stinky sharp old rose green stem delina ~no comparison ~this is worth every penny&u won't smell like old sour sharp vase water , this is a dark natural rich rose petal with a slight punch of bergamot,a slight truffle darker&bright at same time? Doesn't smell perfumey or colongey,smells like walking thru a rose garden full of rose petals in the dark earth the sun's going down&its realistic roses in a cold dark shaded garden,when I had a bottle years ago I got so many compliments,I wanted to tell them shut up but I never do. Well done rose.”
“The rose really comes out in the dry down after 1-2 hours for me, and it stays on my clothes until I wash them (2-3 sprays on my hoodie and it'll smell like roses fo a week). Given the longevity, price is justified even though it isn't that complex of a scent. I'm not a big rose fragrance guy, but this stuff smells really good, albeit not masculine enough for me.”
