The Library Collection Rose Incense

The Library Collection Rose Incense Amouage (Red bottle, 175 USD, BNIB) I have many feeling towards Rose Incense by Amouage, it is an amusement ride. Even scent is linear, I can't really categorize do I really like this scent or it just unfamiliar. One thing I could say, In realm of old world amber. Myrrh seems doesn't suite my skin. I tried few Myrrh fragrances before, it was dusty powdery experience. The was some texture that reminds me dry dust, I might just don't like it in general. Its slight dry balsamic touch, it is sort of hang in the middle amber profile for me.. Rose Incense, however even Myrrh is dominant as texture I recall, very resinous. I don't find this unpleasant but something still brother. Maybe because that dry dusty aspect was merge to woody note. But it still slight show the texture. Where I find this is most pleasant toward this profile should be rose. It is definitely dry lime rose but it is somewhat have its dew side. I feel like, this might be the cleaver manipulating of Elemi as It has strong sourness. I recall similar rose profile, Lyrics Man by Amouage. And it sits on warm Olibanum very well like a perfection. I really wish to be explain how luxurious the experience is. However, Rose Incense interpreted the combination in more papery kind of way. I feel like this is more of brunt Armenian paper, the heat from olibanum and Papery note from Myrrh with woody note. It can't really evoke a feeling of Incense. In that Matter, I think Café Rose or Garanat can do better. Still, I feel sexy wearing this and I barely mention this idea, As I personally don't believe the concept of Jour and Nuit scent. I feel out of place wearing Rose Incense to workplace today as a Jour fragrance. I don't find this very Masculine or Feminine, it is truly unisex. It has miracle aspect that could work on both skin, Enigmatic should be great word. As olfactive of Rose & Incense and Woody Amber, I think Rose Incense is Masterpiece. It reach the point that can show both Rose & Incense strongly. Diamond of first water, A Jewel for Florental lover. But... yeah, I wish you try this first. You will be able to understand my idea. ==== Edit Jan 6, 2026 A little spritz on my inner arm, one spray and I dab. It is red incense scent, linger and beautiful. I think it is very emotional fragrance but wisdom. A Librarian kind of vibe. But it is one of very good fragrance in the market.

Best rose fragrance ever, best church incense fragrance ever. If it seems simple, it's because it needs to be to let the glorious opulence of the ingredients throb off of the skin. There's no higher quality incense note around. There's a very strong connection to Opus X, which, despite having masses of types of rose, smells more like a geranium scent to me. This is THE Amouage rose scent. They have many, but this is pared back, foregoing the peppers and spices and oud accords found elsewhere to showcase the majestic, complex rose. Spellbinding and utterly, ridiculously nuclear, which it should be, because this rose is a dazzling, devestating rose to end all others. The long drydown is reminiscent of Silver Oud for its Amouage take on smouldering vanilla. Side note: overspray, and in the crook of your elbow, you may get a sort of vegetal freshness. I can't put my finger on it, perhaps raw carrot with some citronella and rooty iris, very intriguing. Perhaps it's the ink accord. Update: Every time I wear this I feel like there's some dish or foodstuff that it reminds me of, and today I've finally realised what it is... Carrot and coriander soup! Somehow this is now a bad thing, because it's just some scent association my brain is creating, and it's not overwhelmingly soupy, it's just a hint. I feel like I'm wearing a rose incense perfume having prepared and cooked the ingredients for said soup. The new formulation doesn't have this element, but it smells much more obvious and accessible, and thus less interesting to me.

Rose Incense does exactly what it says on the tin - it is an excellent rose-laced incense scent. Despite its strong performance, it is made with a light touch, airy and green as well as showcasing a rich amber base. RI opens with light, dewy rose bolstered by balsamic elemi. I get the ink note too - it is fleeting but accurately rendered, reminiscent of a quill and inkpot novelty gift I received as a child. It complements the rose-incense accord, despite being a left-field choice. I love when a creative risk pays off! There is a pine-like undertone to the opening, thanks to the elemi. The incense develops with the scent, becoming wonderfully churchy. I adore a good incense note, having been raised Catholic. The suede note that emerges as it continues to develop is realistic and blends well with the amber accord. The amber accord becomes more resinous as it dries down while smooth vanilla adds sweetness, complementing it nicely. Some woody notes ground it here too. The incense remains until final fade, not too smoky, but nicely aromatic. Sillage is strong and longevity is fairly long-lasting. It is best worn in cold weather. RI is an excellent incense scent featuring a great unisex use of rose. Unusually for a spicy-amber rose scent, the rose note is fresh and transparent instead of being dark and rich. As a lover of both rose and incense notes, RI is a beautifully rendered, high-quality treat. More incense than rose, but a truly great marriage. Yet another full bottle I want from Amouage. 5/5.

I wore for the first time last night and was sucker punched in the midsection. That feeling you’ve forgotten something important and are almost in a panic. Where do I know this fragrance from. I’m at a loss. Why am I feeling that something I lost has been returned? I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this feeling from a fragrance before. Incense seems lifted on a warm wind over candied lemon (the Elemi is magical) and the ink gives a feeling of space, coolness, almost waiting at the same time? And then the rosewater joins the mix. It’s all light and dark and yet never heavy. The incense is beautiful dry and warm and the texture I get in the base (suede?) is plush. What is this sorcery❤️ Easily the most beautiful rose I’ve ever smelt of any genre. I have read lots of comments. I believe it’s unisex but so, so hauntingly beautiful. Can I encourage men to wear this? You won’t smell feminine - but you will smell f$&king beautiful ❤️ and we need more of that. I have a large decant and the promise of a bottle soon (edit: acquired), this is my Amouage of Amouages... I’ll just go back to quietly huffing myself in peace now ❤️

I bought a discovery set for Amouge for women and received a sample of this amongst the freebies. Thank goodness for that, they can read me! :)) This one is absolutely a Love at first sniff!!! I've been spraying the sample already, so much so I have already ordered the full bottle. It's not as complex and multilayered as the other amouages in the discovery set but I feel like it's actually a good thing especially for a daily go to perfume. It's neither cloying nor overly strong. It makes me happy and at ease every time I sniff a whiff of it. I don't particularly like the usual rose scents per se but I love certain smoky/aromatic, woody and earthy rose blends, and this one is on top of the list, followed by POAL, and Epic Woman. 3 April 2021 update: This is now my new favourite. I'm getting addicted to its smoky floral cleanness!😅 And it looks like this composition is the first of its own since nobody has indicated, so far, that this one reminds them of another fragrance.
