Junoon Rose

Amaretto, Whipped-Cream & Tonka-Bean... This is a dupe of Blossom Love Amouage with good approximation and excellent performance. Predominantly a tonka-bean scent, this beauty opens with a combination of cherry-blossom softened by a buttery ylang with multi-faceted bergamot catalyzing a slight fruity-jamminess to the florals in the top notes. This transitions into the amaretto-rose heart with powdery, floral, boozy, almond & sweet tones. In the base, there's tonka-bean rounded out by some suede & amber. Suede here adding some velvety & nearly lactonic tones to the tonka, and the longer it dries down the blend in the base reads like a boozy whipped-cream dessert with some darker near-chocolate tones. The colour of the liquid can be pink, until you shake it once a day for a week or so, and then there's still a hint of pink so that I would avoid spraying it on white or easily stained clothing. For those who aren't familiar with Blossom Love Amouage, an oversimplified comparison for Junoon Rose would be like an Amaretto flanker of Good Girl Carolina Herrera, with a powdery-floral Amaretto in the top notes that dries down to a tonka base with whipped & creamy lactonic and near-chocolate tones. I'm a longtime fan of tonka scents, and this one is no exception. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

This was love at first sniff for me! I reached for this bottle in a shop with absolutely no expectations and no ideas of the notes or the comparison to Amouage's beauty Blossom Love. It was a welcomed surprise and an immediate impulse buy. It's soft and sweet, a slightly spicy take on a powdery floral, and I think it's quite a 'young' rose. I've smelled many rose perfumes that I find mature leaning and this isn't one of them. An under-appreciated gem! But the recurring associations with toilet cleaner? Why!? :( I must be smelling an entirely different product- that, or my nose is broken- I can't understand how this perfume could be in any way offensive or controversial. It was, unfortunately, the first thing my sister said before she realised I'd just bought 75 ml of it, (in her uncensored terms: "It smells like an old lady's toilet.") Naturally I was very disappointed with the negative feedback, and went seeking other opinions to mitigate my offence. No-one seemed to smell it quite the way I do- the soft, creamy cherry I detect seems masked by sharp alcohol and powder to others. Just goes to show how subjective fragrance can be. I can't help being influenced by other people's opinions and am trying to love this perfume the way I did before it received its undeserved criticism.

I see below all kinds of comments, toilet cleaner, people influenced by other's perception. There are thousands of perfumes foe thousands of tastes and perceptions. Guys, judge it by yourselves, according to your tastes. That being said, for me, this is one of the most beautiful scents i have ever smelled, owned (still own now and will own forever), tested, sampled, wore ecc...such a feminine fragrance. Such a feminine yet potent potion. Spray it at 8 am when going to work and at 6 pm when i m back still smells as gorgeous and fresh as if barely sprayed. This is such a luminous and floral take on a cherry scent, with that suede note (which i usually hate) that rounds the fragrance divinely and adds a bit of depth, with a bit of booziness (just a bit) from the amaretto. It is definitely a day time scent, definitely for cooler days (spring, autumn, winter) just not for summer, so appropriate for office. This is perfection. Nothing to add, nothing to take away. Scent: 10/10 without a doubt Longevity: 10/10 without a doubt Sillage: 10/10 without a doubt Overall: 10/10 without a doubt PS: it tends to be a bit soapy so, if you don't like that, you might not like this one.

This is the essence of an ultra feminine women in a bottle. I mean she is not only totally confident in being a women but it’s her SUPER POWER. She’s fierce and demanding in the most delicate way. This fragrance is soft but has this hidden sexiness that is just mesmerizing. It’s a juxtaposition of a potion, that’s for sure 🤍🤍 I smell the suede, it’s definitely there, in fact, this fragrance is making me realize how much I don’t like suede. However, it is super tolerable in this fragrance because the cherry blossom, heliotrope, rose, amber and tonka bean are giving me everything I need. This is exactly what it smells like to me: “A bouquet of flowers are a few feet away from a shot of whiskey. The shot of whiskey was ordered by a gorgeous women whose amber, tonka bean and cherry blossom perfume is effortlessly projecting. She just so happens to be wearing a suede jacket”. Wow. I do really love this 🎀🎀 Overall, this is a truly gorgeous scent. A beauty in anyone’s collection 🌸🌸

Junoon Rose is one of my favourite fragrances at the moment. It's so complex and well-balanced: sweet, tart, leathery, boozy, and somehow fresh(?) -- sophisticatedly feminine with a mysterious masculine edge. Rose in the name is misleading; to me, it's mostly cherry blossom, citrus, amaretto, and leather. It lasts forever on clothes and 3 - 4 hours on skin. When I give friends hugs they compliment my scent -- so it sits pretty close. The juice is orangey deep pink (perfect match for the scent), but be warned it does stain clothes and is even visible on (pale) skin. Luckily, most of my clothes are dark enough that it doesn't really matter, but if you're not wearing black, I would be careful. I love Junoon Rose. It's definitely signature scent-worthy. I might even sell some of my collection now that I have found it. It's suitable to wear any time of year for any occasion -- it's even okay to wear to the gym. I have tested Blossom Love in-store -- and they are very similar.
