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.

This is one of my first Al-Rehab - and I can't believe such a BIG and beautiful rose fragrance comes out of this teeny lil' bottle! Makes me want to buy as many Al-Rehab as I can possibly get! This rose is most certainly fresh and sweet :) This would be excellent layered with a deep dark patchouli!

This is a beautiful, strong rose fragrance - a rose freshly cut from an English country garden after a summer rain shower when the petals are slightly bruised - gorgeous! I am going to try layering with Al Rehab Chocomusk to see if I can get a Turkish Delight vibe too!

A rose soliflore to me. Crisp, intense, sweet roses. It reminds me of Tea Rose by The Perfumer's Workshop. Truly realistic roses, it feels like burying your nose in a beautiful rose in full bloom. Incredible longevity and sillage. A must have if you love roses.

This is just a fat, bold blooming rose...one left on the vine. It's basic but not cheap. Don't get me wrong, I love PW Tea Rose but this is much more refined than Tea Rose. This is dusky and heady...❤️

Open the bottle and you are in the middle of a rose garden! My boyfriend loves this one.

This is for the 6ml oil This review may seem a little contradictory at first but bear with me all-in-all it's a positive review. Al Rehab Roses start's out smelling like fresh photorealistic wild 5 petal roses. I was exicted when it seemed to get a little creamy but than it shifted and began to smell like roses and melted plastic. If I don't sniff straight off my skin and just let the scent float up to my face it's a nice orange tangy rose. After an hour it died down and I thought that was it but the rose came back with a vengeance and this time without the melted plastic note. The sillage is ok and becomes a skin scent after 2 hours. Next time I may layer this with "Demeter Elvira's Black Roses" to really get my crazy rose on! lol Hint, hint if you like roses for a good price. ..just saying... Al Rehab Roses isn't the greatest rose soliflore I've ever smelled but Let's not forget what we paid for it. I'm spoiled for roses anyway. I have natural rose essential, otto, and absolute oils but those cost $$$! So to sum it up: Al Rehab Roses oil is a good quality, heavily concentrated, realistic rose perfume oil at a great bargain. It sells for between $2 and $7 USD a bottle depending on where you get it and how much you buy. So what are you waiting for? Edit: After this wore off I layered it on top of Al Rehab Elena. It is so nice and that weird note didn't show up at all!

This is the rose scent I ́ve ever dreamed of, but now when I finally found and purchased it I am not that sure anymore. It ́s NOT for everybody. It is definitely an amazing soliflore rose scent, however the concentration of it is a little too much for me. A tiny drop goes a looong way. Once I put it on my skin it becomes VERY potent (sillage is very strong too) and the first hour is almost unbearable for me. I also get the weird note that some people mentioned before (could be lavender?). After an hour it calms down a little and that is the time I enjoy the scent most (sweet but not sugary sweet, green scent. It reminds me of pink peony scent, which I love)... after one or two more hours it ́s almost gone and at that point I am glad it is gone, because my need for roses has been fully satisfied. (Please, ignore my grammar. English is not my first language. ) P.S. In my opinion, it does not smell like an actual perfume. It smells like you are carrying houndreds of authentic roses/ peonies with you wherever you go.

The rose smell is very synthetic rather than smelling like subtle fresh rose. Kind of powdery rose smell my nose didn’t really loved it but I had bought so I applied when I went to work. I got quite a few questions in my workplace that what was the name of the perfume. The smell of the rose is so overpowering it don't give any smell of musk until 10 hours after 10 hours if you smell your clothes then it starts giving that dead musky smell which you may not want to smell too. People had also said that they had smelled me from a faraway while I wore this while this might also be an escape goat to talk to me by the guys. I am just heading to finish this oil cause I bought like 6 of it and doesn’t like the fragrance that much while longevity and spillage are crazy though.

riting this with Roses on one arm and Moroccan Rose on the other. To the reviewer who said they were very similar- I would disagree. Roses is a giant bouquet of fresh, mature and unfurled to almost falling apart velvet dark red garden roses- the type you would would buy for a big number anniversary, then put them to open in the sun room for a few days. It is a strong and projects quite a bit. There is a green-ness but only in the sense that you know this is a plant smell. It's too much for me even in a very small dose, similar to Choco Musk, but a very nice scent. On the vintage side. Moroccan Rose is much lighter, more green and juicy/not quite ripe fruity. Less projection. It has a freshness that Roses doesn't have

I find this scent to be intoxicating when first applied. Pure heavenly full blown pink roses! The dry down, on me, isn't very musky, even though it is listed as one of the two notes. I find it smells almost like rose salt water taffy, which is quite pleasant. To me the spillage is moderate and the longevity a bit perplexing. After about three hours when I sniff my wrists, It is barely discernible, however, I can still smell the soft rose scent wafting around me. All in all, this is a lovely fragrance to wear and I also think it would work well layered with other rose scents with a bit more character. Keep in mind you must be an avid rose lover to enjoy this. I am and I do!

This is a fist full of roses and it's gonna punch you in the brain! Seriously, this an intense fresh-cut, living rose perfume. Thankfully for me I get no musk whatsoever, it's all just lush, dense, slightly salty rose petals all the way down. After a long drydown, it turns a bit soapy, but in a good way, with a subtle, peppery note of carnation. Spot-on soliflore and I think I'll have fun experimenting with its layering potential. It's a sillage grenade on me, only a brief, loud explosion before it calms down to a more moderate level.

No musk, no powder on me, no extra citrus or sour notes, just fresh rose with green leaves. Long-lasting, moves from big to moderate sillage in a couple of hours. I love it for layering with many other fragrances - two dabs will give a lovely boost to other rose perfumes too. Be careful with it until you know how it works on you - it is much more powerful than it may seem at first. An excellent value too.

A very powerful blast of rose. But not so much a romantic rose, but a green, crisp, botanical rose. It can perhaps be a bit too heady if you aren't used to it.

For the oil: Roses absolutely is a rose solinote perfume. But it’s not a fresh rose, a sweet one, or a jammy rose. This is a heavy dusty rose potpourri that sat in my grandma’s bedroom. Is it bad? Nope, but it is only meant for people who want that potpourri smell, and that’s not a lot of people.... It’s very strong with great longevity on me though, so apply sparingly. I have no clue how this does in intense cold or high heat (it’s very mild where I am), but I can imagine that this risks becoming sharp in the cold and cloying in the heat so use caution.

This is confusing, because to me, as soon as you take off the cap and take a whiff, it smells like citronella. Like the giant outdoor candles with three wicks you put on a picnic table outside. Overwhelming. If I back it away from my nose, I smell rose. But that bug repellent note dominates. I gave it a try. Like all Al-Rehab oils, it lasts forever. After 6 hours, the citronella note had mostly worn off and the residual scent was pleasant roses. But to wait that long for a merely tolerable smell is not good enough.
