Roses Night

“This is a dream come true for me! My signature scent is Stella Absolute and Stella EDP pre-2003. This smells almost like a dupe AND has great longevity. Perhaps now I can stop paying an arm and a leg for the discontinued Stellas! This is GREAT. I bought it blindly and am SO SO grateful. It literally smells just like Stella (original) to my nose.”

“UGHH what is this dirt?!?! Very promising opening, it does actually resemble Stella - beautiful rose petals and rose water. However the drydown is absolute dirt. The kind of gross funky musk found in a number of Montale/Mancera fragrances - smells cheap, nasty, and loud for the sake of it. It is SUCH a far cry from the opening notes that it is almost like I have sprayed a completely different perfume. Like how is it possible this morphed so much?”

“The name is so misleading. This is a beautiful rose fragrance, but there's nothing nocturnal about it.It opens with a ton of rose, and stays that way. The musk+patchouli+amber base supports the rose throughout. This has great longevity and remains rather linear, which ok with me.It's a like, not a love, but it's a safe, easy reach for work or just on days when I'm feeling uninspired.I like this in spring, summer and fall, but IMO it's not a winter fragrance. Great for daytime but lacks a little oomph for evenings.”
