Roses

I was a bit hesitant to buy this as I'm not normally a big fan of rose'y perfumes, for whatever reason, even though I love the smell of actual roses and I love rose scented soaps! Still, the reviews were good overall and I've recently been buying several of the Al Rehab rollerball perfume oils and I really like several of them. So I decided to give this one a go, and considering these little rollerballs cost about the same price as a cup of coffee from a coffee shop it would hardly break the bank! When I first tried it I was a bit overwhelmed at how intense and green it smelled, like millions of young rose petals smushed up to squeeze the oil out of them and then bottled in a cute little rollerball. I swiped a little on my wrist and it was so potent I almost thought I wouldn't be able to bear it and might have to wash it off. A good thing I was patient though and stuck with it . . . It then started to smell SOOOO good, just like an expensive triple milled, exquisite rose French soap. By this point I was loving it and the perfume far exceeded my expectations. It stayed this way, luckily, all the way through and the perfume lasted for hours on me, although becoming more of a skin scent after a few hours. I could still get lovely little wafts of it though here and there, which was great. I dare the pretentious perfume snobs on here to give this a go. I bet not even a niche rose'y perfume, say from a make like By Kilian, for example, could top this! In fact, I just checked the By Kilian range and they do have a Rose Oud perfume which costs $395 for a 50ml bottle on the Lucky Scent website ... and of course some people are gushing about how fantastic it is, yet others say it smells like a bathroom air freshener or some of the Bed Bath & Beyond products! LOL!! (I can't believe I just used LOL . . . I hate that ! ! ) I would never have thought a rose perfume would become a favourite of mine, and a 'go to' one at that, but this one actually has achieved that! I'm now using it almost daily, and sometimes even swiping on a bit more when I go to bed (because I find it relaxing and it makes my bedding smell yummy!). I really do love it and it's now my favourite of my 10+ Al Rehab rollerball perfume oils!

This is an addition to a much earlier review I wrote for this Roses perfume. I normally am not overly keen on very rose'y smelling perfumes but Roses is actually very nice and genuine smelling, not synthetic or air freshener'ish as some people on here seem to think it is! If this was an expensive fragrance, such as Dior 'Blooming Bouquet' (which I love but it's expensive and vanishes on me in the blink of an eye, so it's a waste of good money!) I think there'd be many more glowing reviews for Roses but some people are so snobbish about perfumes that aren't expensive, or the latest much hyped one(s), etc, that they'd hate to have to say anything remotely positive about a budget priced one! Roses IS a very nice perfume and well worth trying for anyone who enjoys rose'y perfumes. One or two swipes on my wrist is enough to last for hours, and far longer than many WAAAY more expensive perfumes which are often over-priced, over-hyped yet disappear quickly. Also, some of these Al-Rehab rollerballs are not only nice to wear alone but they can also be layered with others in the range, or some other perfume, and I find that Roses is very nice layered with their Cherry Flower perfume, which I only discovered in the past couple of months or so. That is also great by itself or layered (both smell fresh, a bit soapy, very girly and very likeable!). Choco Musk is another great one in the range that's well worth a try! I can recommend all three, not only because they all smell lovely and last for hours, but also because the rollerballs are compact, easy to carry around, are lightweight, easy to apply and they cost a tiny fraction of the price of many designer perfumes. It's hard to go wrong with them!

I was hesitant to buy this scent because so many of the reviews have mentioned how strong, even overpowering, the rose scent is. I LOVE most any rose scent, but my hubby just can't tolerate it, so I have to limit myself. Partly because Tea Rose by Perfumer's Workshop is one of my signature scents, and it is quite potent, I decided to go for it and try this, planning to wear it only while my hubby's at work. Oh my goodness - I'm so glad that I took the chance and tried it! Yes, it is a very potent juice as others have stated, but it is simply decadent! My nose doesn't pick up any note other than the breathtaking sent of roses, roses, and more roses. I'm in heaven! That said, I do recommend a VERY light hand with this. A teeny tiny bit really does deliver quite a punch and if not careful it would be easy to overdo it. That said, I highly recommend this to any serious rose scent lover. The price is right and it is so portable, too. This is definitely going to be added as one of my favorite perfumes! Enjoy!

People think I showered in rose water, drank faluda, and fell into a rose bush. Compliment-stingy people have given up and asked me what this is. For a half-hour, it's too strong, but an hour later there's nothing there; a weak skin scent. Sad, but it's a 6ml roll-on. I could carry it without damaging the cap. (I've already broken the cap off my first bottle, but it was flimsy to begin with. My other roll-on caps seem fine.) I'm a guy. Wearing this as an accessory paired with one solid colour for all your clothes makes you stand out from all the guys like nobody's business. Girls can't get enough of it. I also made beard oil for people using this as a fragrance ingredient. Enjoy!

This is pure roses, uncomplicated and pleasant, very feminine. This is the closest to natural roses as you can get. It smells like someone took a bunch of rose petals and stems and grinded them together, then you stick your head in and get a whiff. I do detect some powdery notes which makes the scent smell a little dry. Since it is an oil it is very concentrated, a little lasts a long time and can be quite strong.
