“Something about this is very muffled and dense on me, like tv static. The notes are fighting to get out from a cloud of sweetness. I agree with the user below who mentioned Rose Jam by Lush (though this is sweeter.)It smells very similar to the John Lewis Rose & Vanilla candle as well & for some reason is average projection on me, lasts ages though.Just really not for me, there are so many better perfumes for winter imo.”
“Roses dipped in honey. I thought I disliked sweet fragnances before i blind bought this. Yes its sweet but the blend is so incredible, works on my skin very well, I apply it in the morning and it lasts all day. My nose has gotten quite used to it atp and it feels super natural to wear it, I often get compliments from my girlfriends. This is very much a wintertime/autumn fragnance, I wish it worked for summer because it is so incredibly beautiful.”
“Unfortunately incompatible with my skin chemistry: it opens with an odd rose-floral-resin, mid- and base notes are inoffensive but resembles a less charming version of JHAG Ms Charming. The vanilla is almost completely absent.On my clothes: sweet, frothy rose that toes the line of old-fashioned but is saved by lemon in the opening and wood in the base. The vanilla is quite subtle so the sweetness doesn't tip over into candy.Moderate projection, moderate sillage, performance on skin is poor but much better (6-8hours) on clothes.”

The original's water note freshness is replaced with a slightly warmer bergamot interpretation in the clone, and the musk base is more pronounced, reducing some of the original's ethereal quality. Overall silage and projection appear similar, but the aromatic profile skews less sophisticated.

Ajwad emphasizes sweetness over the original's balanced rose complexity and lacks the distinctive cedar note, resulting in a more linear, gourmand trajectory. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but Roses Vanille maintains better elegance through its woody base.
