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.

Lemony top note, then I'm hit with dewy roses, rose stems, and the whole rose bush to boot. This is a really strong, soapy, fleshed out rose oil. Stylistically comparable to Tea Rose by the Perfumer's Workshop. Not quite as good, but it's a $6 rollerball. A bit easier for people with sensitive noses to wear. It can be applied lightly, and it doesn't project as much as Tea Rose.

I love rose scent so I'll try anything with rose in it. Got a roller for this, it's a shampoo-like synthetic rose. In this case it's very much you get what you pay for, it doesn't last at all, doesn't project, the scent is ’meh’, like a rose scented boring handsoap. Not unpleasant but I was happy to give this away to a friend who likes scents like this.

very strong scent, definitely something to use in moderation. i don't really pick up on the musky notes, the rose kind of overpowers everything else. it kind of took me aback when i first smelled it tbh. it's a little bit of a synthetic rose scent but not in a gross way. i don't really see myself buying this again, but i will use it up.

I'm usually a huge sucker for roses, so I'm always down to try new rose-forward scents, especially at this price point. However, this one is just too synthetic for me. Nominally, it's pretty realistic--heavy rose with no sweetness and pretty intense greenery, which sounds perfect, but there's something about it that edges on too sharp that it's an assault to the nose and almost astringent in quality. So while the scent IS almost exactly like the Bulgarian rose essential oil I have, and is a pretty realistic (if vintage-leaning) rose, there's just something cheap and artificial in the way that it actually translates and wears. I want to very badly see how it evolves on my skin and if it mellows out, because most Al-Rehab oils need a little time to work their magic, but I just can't stand this one long enough to survive until complete drydown, I always scrub it off! Because the greenness just dominates for me, and its synthetic quality just ruins everything else. Maybe I'm just used to how the real deal smells, and this is too close to smelling like a rose essential oil for me to be able to tolerate the artificial dimension (which I usually don't mind in other perfumes). I'm not giving up on this one just yet and might wear it layered with some other fragrances to see if I can mellow out the greenness and override the synthetic dimension of it with additional depth, but we'll see.

Review for attar oil of ROSES -Al Rehab Firstly, 2 calibrate our scent senses, I love orientals, gourmands but not so much florals. I also like musk but not crazy about sharp or floral musks, rather I like the softer rounded out musks and even like sandalwood. If u like both florals and white musk which is a floral musk, this is 4 u. I got this in a Al Rehab pack & as I do love 2 smell actual roses and I love Al Rehab, I was ok with blind buy. That all being said, I do not like it. I have tried wearing it alone, mixing with my fav Chocomusk as someone suggested made a good combo..I just don't like it. lol 2 me it smells like it's mainly roses with AR's white musk which makes it smell like either nail polish remover or...and...I finally identified what in AR's Saat Safa made it smell both like nail polish remover and reminds me of what a gothic haunted house may smell like...it's both the rose and white musk notes, I see now. I may try 2 make this into an EDP 2 just spray as a room freshener maybe. I hope this helps someone. Happy sniffing!

I don't know if mine is maybe faulty but this is just awful, I used to love rose but this has actually put me off. I absolutely love the Red Rose by Al Rehab as well as the Jasmin and I like the Moroccan Rose. This smells like going past roadworks on a hot day - like warm metal and freshly laid tarmac mixed with rubbery car tyres that have been exposed to the heat from the road and plastic that's just began to melt. I have no idea why i've had such a visceral reaction to this scent but it's turned my absolute need for anything that smells remotely like rose into trust issues and avoiding rose "just in case".

This attar is well made and smells of fresh dewey roses and stems accompanied by a strong and fresh lemon note. It smells very much like Perfumer`s Workshop Tea Rose. I found Tea Rose way too strong and very overwhelming. I found this attar much easier to wear but I still will pass it on to a friend. Still not quite my cup of tea but I think others who have had difficulty with the sheer strength of Tea Rose may like this attar much better.

Disappointing rose blend, and I also notice lily of the valley in several of these rose blends. Clinique aromatics in white is a better choice imo.

this is a verrryyy synthetic screechy rose nahh not for me

It reminds me old ladies perfume somehow. Stinks

I don't think Toffeefountain and others got a bad batch. This oil was a very bad surprise for me too, but I bought mine more than 10 years ago. By then, I had been in love with many oriental oil perfumes for a long time, but this one made me very cautious of both rose notes and Arabian fragrances. It smells cold and metallic to me, it smells like blood or like an electrical fire or like burning plastic, without any sweetness of a real rose. We don't have high heat in summer where I live, but I can say that even a very warm summer day (25 - 27C) doesn't make it smell any better. Edit: And I haven't ever seen a real rose in a real garden smelling like this. Only some artificial-looking and smelling long-stem roses in a flower shop sometimes stink a little bit like this. And that is why I am now always cautious of rose notes. What people mean by talking about "real" rose scent varies significantly.

similar to turkish roses but softer one. i dont like it....

Ok this will be a short story. Reading how great the reviews were about how this is very "rosy", I decided to buy this, after all I'm still on the quest for the perfect rose perfume. Seven bucks for this was great news to me. So, very affordable. When it arrived in the mail, I could already smell it while opening my mailbox. The scent was seeping through the packaging. I realized while walking around with the package in my hand that it INDEED SMELLS LIKE ROSES (I haven't opened it yet). As soon as I opened the package, revealing only the perfume inside its box, the silage blew me away. It was incredibly powerful! And I still haven't taken the perfume out of its box! And when I did, fragrance was so intense, I'm pretty sure I filled the living room and dining room up with my perfume oil. After that, I slowly opened the cap off of the bottle. I briefly, ever so gently, took probably half a drop of the oil and put it on my neck. I see my mother walk past the room telling me I smell something like Arabian roses. Mind you this is not even a drop of the perfume on me. So that gives you an idea of what the silage is like. Even though this does smell like roses, I smelled something else that overpowered the rose. I think that mystery note is what was most intense. Although it may be that the rose note that it is just so powerful that it morphs into another note? I'm not sure. I'll wear it around and give an update to what people's opinions are. The staying power was alright. Maybe about 5 hours. But overall I love it! I give it an 8.5-9. It wasn't a ten because there's that overpowering mystery note in it. (Or maybe not because it was that powerful.)

Not sure why this is unisex because it's definitely feminine, at least to my nose and my wife. I think the musk added to this was to make it more masculine, but the rose is so dominate in this I just can't see myself wearing this. Maybe more metosexual guys can pull this one off. I certainly can not. However, I do enjoy it a lot on my wife and she fell in love with this little gem. She loves to wear this to bed in the Spring/Summer months. And for some reason, it puts me and her in the mood (wink wink). Especially her... and I have no complaints about that! For some time I've been trying to get my wife to open an account here on Fragrantica so she can post her reviews. But her English is limited so she doesn't feel comfortable. Hopefully she'll change her mind because she really is a fraghead like her husband. Nevertheless, here is what my told me about Roses Al-Rehab: "It makes me feel special, and very lady-like, and reminds me of Valentine's Day and our Anniversary when you buy me roses. The smell of roses always brings me happy memories. What girl doesn't like the smell of roses, right?" The quality and often natural smell of Al Rehab fragrances never fails to amaze me for such a budget fragrance house. I'm not saying all Al Rehab fragrances are excellent, some are a hit or miss, and some are just too much to handle. But when you come across the good ones, they will really impress you. Roses is one of those.

In the bottle, this smells sweet, light and distantly rosy. I applied a generous portion to my skin and POP come the roses! Sharp, very very sharp and green at first, quite overwhelming but again I did apply a good bit. It gave me my rose fix for the day. I left a trail of roses in my wake for about 2 hours, then it was gone. I like it! To my nose it is nothing but roses; I cannot detect a single other note of anything in it. I love trying new things at home first so that when I overapply and/or hate it, no one is offended. I also experiment mixing it with other oils/scents just to see what happens. Surprisingly, white musk oil did not work so well with this but I would love to try it with sandalwood oil, which I am out of at the moment. However...it layers beautifully with my beloved Lancome Tresor! The very faint rose note in Tresor is gently amplified by 2-3 dots of this Al-Rehab roses rubbed into my wrists and neck. So pretty, feminine; not quite sexy but cozy and sensuous. This is the first Al-Rehab scent that works well for me. If you like a linear rose scent this is for you, but mixing it with other things is so much more fun when you discover something altogether unique can come it for you!

I'll start by saying that I've never really been a huge fan of perfumes where rose plays a central role. The ones I've come across have for example been geranium heavy and not impressive. When I tried to sniff the perfume from the bottle I caught the scent of fresh roses with a green background, almost like roses that you smell outside in gardens etc. On the skin it is more or less the same, except I can smell the powdery musk in the background. And to me there is a faint whiff of that expensive burnt out candle scent that I so love, but it is pretty faint. It is slightly smoky and spicy but beautifully-so. It doesn't detract from the lovely rose smell. This scent is lovely and refreshing and very true to the real rose smell-with off course a musky background. This is a rose scent that truly captures the beauty of roses growing in a garden. It is not heavy or cloying. I find this perfume beautifully blended and once again, it smells expensive for its price. Once again with my experiences so-far with Arabian perfume houses, they are master blenders and they KNOW what they're doing. They have a mastery of blending different notes, and they know how to blend each perfume to perfection.

**edit of previous post after giving this several hours and several wearings** I don’t like this as much as I did when I just dabbed on my hand and sniffed immediately. When you wear it for several hours, you realize it isn’t actually much like Tea Rose. It starts out promising, with a citrusy/bergamotI top note to mimic the greenery of a fresh rose, and with a significant hint of red rose. However, that citrusy soapiness really dominates for a long, long time... and the floral element recedes... making this smell more like a China Rain/China Musk scent than a rose scent. The other weird thing that happens is that this is super strong for about an hour, and then it collapses quite suddenly into a barely-there skin scent. In that phase, there is a bit of a lilac-y element, which isn’t bad. But it’s also not Rose. I think maybe I wanted this to be a really good rose scent because it’s so cheap & readily available. Ultimately it falls apart as you wear it, unlike Tea Rose, which is very solidly constructed and continues to communicate Rose-rose-rose all day. I’m going to have to give Al Rehab Roses a thumbs down. 👎

Lemony and Astringent. I like to wear Choco Musk and P.W. Tea Rose, together. It's glorious. I decided to try out Al Rehab Roses as a sub in for the Tea Rose, and it does not work at all. Tea Rose is sweet and gentle (I only apply about a drop) and it gives a natural, fresh rose impression. Most of the reviews down below suggested that Al Rehab's Roses was also a very "living rose" scent, so I assumed that by applying with a similarly light hand I could obtain a similar effect. But I was wrong. This is a SCREAMING rose. The rose of overly strong air fresheners designed to cover stinks in a very public restroom. It has a sour, stinging quality to it as well. Dry nasal passages follow a whiff of this perfume, for me. Don't let my review discourage you though, different strokes for different folks, and it's very affordable. If anyone in the U.S. would like to swap for a different "Once Used" Al Rehab oil, I'm open to it. I'm open to almost any of them, really, as I've only tried about 5 in total and would love to explore more. PM me.

I'm not the biggest fan of any fragrance that comes in a roller ball packaging. However Al-Rehab Roses is definitely worth it. Most oils I have tried seem to be skin scents with little to no sillage. This not only has crazy good sillage but lasting power too! Roses is simple but extremely pretty. To my nose this is rose with with the leaves and stems still on it. There is a green feeling to this rose, which I really enjoy. Also a good dose of white musk. This fragrance definitely comes off a floral and might be a little bit of an acquired taste. Honestly two of my favorite notes, this was practically a winner to my nose as soon as I sniffed it. Overall I totally enjoy this fragrance and the intensity of this in its oil form. I'm glad it was my first Al-Rehab and a great budget rose for rose lovers like myself.

have about 30 Al rehab roller ball oils including Red Rose, Moroccan Rose and Roses. I think that Red Roses is the most complex and best composed than the other two. Longevity is 5 hours and like many in the line has low sillage. Roses is a more fresh version similar to Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose. Sillage is low and longevity is moderate. Moroccan Rose is very soft rose. All are suitable for office wear. If you want fresh natural rose scent wear Roses. If you want more complexity and better performance wear Red Rose. If you want a light skin scent wear Moroccan Rose. My experience is that Islamic stores have much better prices than Amazon vendors and a wider selection. I prefer to patronize smaller brick and more shops when I can. I use one in Ohio ; Al Rashad. I have NO business connection with this shop.

Mine has just arrived this morning. It's genuinely strong rose smell. Like so many other rose smell perfume I have tried before. Old problem, there is just something ( I can't figure out what) I don't like. couple of weeks ago, I happened to buy a tube of body cream from TKmax--rose romance by affinity bay. It is the most lovely rose smell I have ever tried. I can't have enough. After applying it I just keep smelling it. Lovely through through. Believe me I have tried so many, for example, annick goutal rose absolut, rose spelendid, JM red rose, Stella, et al et al. Please forgive my writing here, English is not my first langurs. The reviews on this website have helped me tremendously in the last couple of years. I just want to try to contribute a little bit as well. :)

More bearable in intensity than Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose, and yet in the same vein. I find this less than tolerable even so, the sort of tea rose scent that is NOT even slightly sweet. I've tried layering it, but unlike other Al Rehabs, Roses simply takes over and ruins everything else. For a room spray I might consider this.... but not for personal hygiene! That said, I believe that many people who love a traditional Tea Rose will delight in this simple, affordable fragrance. On my skin, there is little to recommend such a strident rose, but on someone else the effect could be lyrical. And it doesn't cost much to find out! Excellent sillage and longevity. For that alone, I rate it 4 stars. :)

Roses. Love them or hate them, they are unique in their sultry, aromatic velvety nature that captures and possesses ones senses. Whether they are soft, pink and dewy or juicy, carnal and red its irrelevant. This is the case of a velvety rose. Soft, yet persistent, mesmerising and deep, with gentle green nuances yet totally fleshy and bold, this is THE Al Rehab rose! Very realistic and concentrated. There is a whisper of musk but it is overwhelmed by the mighty of flower. With a touch of spice it stays with you and leaves a gentle aura of seduction and allure. One of my dearest loves!!! I dare you, try it!!!!!!...

If you are interested in a ripe, freshly picked rose soliflore without being paired with powdery, fruity/jammy or sweaty/oud-y notes, this a great little choice. It starts off a bit green but that fades as a slight musk surfaces, lending a mild soapy feel. Moderate in both projection and longevity, it is a very affordable option to get a realistic rose scent. As with most Al-rehab oils, they smell a bit odd if sniffed too closely (this one comes off a bit ashy) but are instead designed to be smelt from a slight distance (at least 6 inches), leaving a pleasant scent trail.

Lost my bottle -- and just found it today. Everyone is crying over a $7.00 Arab roller ball that feels "synthetic". I say this is more "semi-synthetic" as there are REAL roses in here (just like there are REAL potatoes in Pringles chips). As in LUSH's rose scents - you are getting the leaves and stems too. (Not a terrible idea at all). I also get some lemon in here which is a little weird and a lot of soap . This is great for layering - just go easy on it. Do I prefer Tea Rose ? I guess so. Was this worth $7.00 ? Yes. GRADE: C+.

Disappointed. It smells like pretty much ever rose oil I’ve tried during my visits to the Middle East. I was initially looking to find 2000 et Une Rose by Lancome and supposedly this smells or at least alludes to it. I don’t sense the similarity AT ALL! It’s a nice basic rose though. The kind I would like my fabric softener to leave on my clothe. I think diluted with perfume alcohol I can probably turn it into a home or fabric scent. It is definitley no where near any of my beloved purple Lancômes <3

WOW - what a potent perfume!!! I haven't even put any on, nor taken the cap off the bottle and the entire area is filled with the scent of roses!!! Apparently a little bit must have spilled onto the box on it's way to me. I will definitely put the box in my underwear drawer--wouldn't waste such a wonderful scent! As for actually wearing the perfume oil, that will wait until tomorrow because I have already scented my body for the day.

AVOID this one. I have the rollerball, it was £2 on eBay including postage, so that's not too bad. My first impression was that it smells predominantly like Turkish Delight, with a bit of Citronella. However as it matured on the skin, the citronella like smell become unbearable. Now all I can smell is that harsh note, and I had to get rid of it. I do like a lot of Al-rehab perfumes though, especially Lovely, Sabaya, and Choco Musk.

This oil is not as strong or long lasting as Al Rehab oils tend to be, however I'd say still considerably longer than your typical mid-range European style perfume. It's a very straight forward, believable rose. I am quite picky about rose scents as perfumers tend to make them very powdery or syrupy, which I abhor - this one is fresh and almost bitter. Will most probably buy again.

I got this in the mail along with 3others& i will be buying full sizes for all, at first theres a weird oil smell but after drydown its gone, so not bad, this smells like the perfume tearose by perfumers workshop, except its more mellow yet it lasts along time on the skin,its perfect as in a day you only want yoirself&man to smell you, im liking Al-Rehabs perfume oils!
