Garanat

the most beautiful and magical perfume I've ever smelt. This is what I'd expect Morticia Addams from The Addams Family to smell like, this is what a Vampire & Vampress smell like. As someone who was born in Halloween and grew up loving the gothic and loving Halloween, this the one, this is it, my favorite rose perfume maybe even perfume ever. To all my Vampires & Vampress il try to describe the smell, Imagine the darkest crimson or darkest indigo purplish rose that fell on boiling lava of golden amber, and the rose burning with smoke. It's so dark, and magical. This isn't melancholic roses, like Portrait of a Lady, which is still beautiful, but for me it's too sad and all i smell is the Ghost of the Lady in the Portrait, but it's mostly the Portrait that you can faintly get a whiff of the Lady in the Portrait. But Garanat is straight up Portrait of a Lady, a healthier one that moved on, and is strong and dark. this is Morticia, this is Gomez. Straight up 10/10, the gem collection is hella slept on too.

What Lyric Man aspired to be! Imo, this is the best TRUE rose fragrance for men on the market! The olibanum here only accentuates the manlier facets of rose, but make no mistakes, this is through and through rose! If, like me, you ever sampled Lyric Man, or any rose marketed fragrance for men, and thought them to be too "femme" or not rosy enough, well, not here. A woman will have a challenge wearing this, imo. And that's a lot to say of a ROSE dominant fragrance. To me, this is appropriate for all but the dog days of Summer. And is appropriate for dress up occasions and work, but hey, that's me. Overall, this is a REALLY good, 10/10, fragrance for me. I think, due to the price this is seldomly talked about, but if you like rose or want one of the best rose for men in your collection, you need this. Please sound off about this if you own it. Let's hear your take! Oh, and choosing between this and POAL, this. Not as complex, but the overall scent is better, imho. Definitely not an easy call, lol.

I get no incense or smoky notes. Rather it comes off as a very dominant rose note on a base on myrrh to give it a woody texture. Basically, it is like rubbing rose petals on your face. So, soft ,smooth, elegant and alluring. Not too jammy, or sweet or overly powdery that would bring in more into the feminine realm. I can see why many might view this as a masculine rose but I feel it like clearly unisex. Projection is quite strong if not monstrous for the first several hours. It slowly fades over many hours to a radiating rose aura. It is basic in structure with no challenging or off putting notes. But it is so masterfully crafted as one has come to expect from Jacques. I'm not typically a rose fan but I got a good deal on a 100ml bottle for $150 that I couldn't pass it up. And I'm glad I didn't as this is such a captivating scent.

I have a weakness for rose-note men’s fragrances. This is one of the rare scents that can be so intensely rose-forward and still remain masculine — in fact, it’s a true masterpiece among rose-themed men’s perfumes. For example, Toy Boy smells very synthetic and cheap, while Lyric Man remains a simple fragrance without much depth. I agree with the comment below saying that this is actually the scent Lyric Man wanted to be. If there were a more affordable, smaller-size option, I would definitely add it to my collection. For special occasions, with elegant clothing, it’s a wonderful companion for a true gentleman, in my opinion. April 2026 update: I came across a tester bottle at a great price and bought it right away — I’m very happy 😍

I have tested more than 20 rose-based fragrances(Lyric, POAL, Atomic Rose, exquisite embroidery, so on ) recently and let me tell you no rose scent can evoke the feeling what this scent does. Imagine morning dewy roses in the most delicate way - that is Garanat. It has a zen feeling with the help of cooling citrus notes in the perfume. One of my top 5 scents of all time. It is very versatile, you can wear it casual as well as formal. Can wear it in all seasons. Can wear it both during day and night. Absolute best rose-based fragrance for both men and women. Period.

Beautiful rose fragrance masterfully balanced with the incense. The dark incense note is not at your face. It transports me to the big hallways where rose fragrance is sprinkled and the incense is burning at a distant. The rose is so so beautiful. One of the best rose you can ever smell. It is so much underrated. My experience of wearing it is amazing. I feel like meditating with this fragrance. Almost forgot one of the best perfume bottle I have ever come across. Lovely gem like magnetic cap. Not sure why this got discontinued. I recommend this.

It's been a while since a fragrance I'm smelling for the first time made me say: Oh my god! I love it! Rose & incense with a hint of citrus that keeps it fresh & lively. I can detect a hint of oud as well in the background. It's really really good. I love it! It reminds a lot of Potion Royal Black by DSQUARED2, but Garanat is much better balanced & just smells better compared to the intensive & dry smell of smokey rose of Potion Royal Black. Now to find it at a decent price.

A lovely masculine rose centered Floriental this is a very sensual offering from Bvlgari. Boasting of only three high quality notes the centerpiece of this fragrance is a lovely Damask rose which is surrounded by Rose absolute and smoked Frankincense. The perfume is beautifully blended and very classy and natural without overpowering. Like stepping into a sacred shrine in an ancient Middle Eastern City. A breathtaking scent and must try for men who like roses. Enjoy!

A perfect rose scent. Leans masculine but I can definitely see anyone wearing this. It’s so interesting how it is on skin vs in the air. On the skin it’s a darker more dry red rose and incense, but in the air it’s almost creamier and has more of the cinnamon? Cinnamon isn’t listed on here but is on the official site I think. Overall, this is AMAZING. If you’re trying to find a good rose scent, look no further.

I received samples for the entire collection from Holt Renfrew in downtown Toronto. This was the 1st one I sample. Its a class on its own. beautiful, classy and cannot be assigned to any category. I believe it has its own category. A few hours later its still there and I'm still enjoying it. Definitely a full bottle worthy, however for a collector like myself, I wish they have a 50 ML bottles.

Garanat is an amazing scent. I've tried tons of men's rose fragrances and none of them have been able to come off as masculine as this. It has an amazing smokey rose scent with a very light tough of cinnamon. Sadly this has been discontinued, but I was able to snatch 3 bottles of this stuff. I wish they kept making this though.

Garanat is a real gem. Manly rose fragrance that smells very divine and high quality. Masterpiece. It's very skillfully composed by a very talented perfumer. Elegant sillage and good performance. Dapper gentleman with fine taste kinda perfume.I am fully in love with Garanat.

A beautiful signature scent rose. extremely long lasting. This doesn't smell like your typical rose fragrance so it's worth trying out! It's like a deep smoky red rose, not a creamy pink rose etc. One of my favorites! Very classic man.

Hollow transparent wet oily outline of a rose. Barely rose. Barely incense. Barely there. Strange. Not bad. Not good. It’s like a ghost wore a perfume then left the room and you made a perfume of the scent he left behind.

Very natural, simple and classy rose scent, a hint of amber and incense in the background, and this rose scent give me nostalgic vibe, if you love rose scent, a must try, I absolutely love it Garanat is 9.5/10

SA told me that this has been discontinued. Perhaps due to them having a more recent rose fragrance not too removed from this one.

I'm really grateful I picked this one up. Blind bought, glad I did.

This only has 2 ingredients, rose and incense. But don't be fooled by this, Cavalier uses simple combos and elevates them in a way few perfumers can do so, for him 1+1 = greater than 2. It's a more balanced and higher quality version of Or Encens (that one screams middle east, not bad but is headache inducing for me), in Garanat the incense and rose are perfectly balanced, one does not overpower the other unlike Or Encens where the incense does (60% incense vs 40% rose). Another perfume which this can be compared to is Radical Rose extrait, in that perfume, there is a war between the dark rose and the immortelle + saffron combo, it gives a very oily feeling (maybe cause it's an extrait ?). If you want to overpower people, go for that one, but if you want sophistication, get Garanat

I don’t get any incense, but there maybe is a sprinkling of cinnamon... who are we kidding, it’s almost completely rose. It gets pretty close to the feeling of actually pressing your nose against a fresh rose petal. Calming! Don’t how they did it, but it does lean masculine. It’s so simple yet memorable. Kinda... like a rose. It smells very upscale without being all up in your face about it. A great way to make an impression on someone. Forgetting the scent for a moment, this gives me a similar wearing experience to Xerjoff Richwood. I’m not as in love with Garanat, but the airiness and linearity of it gives this more versatility in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very nice, but to pay $300 just to smell like rose, I mean c’mon.

Rose and incense. It's a nice one but it didn't last on me and it stayed really close to my skin and didn't project at all unfortunately. I'll go with Les Sables Roses by LV if you're looking for the best rose fragrance created by the same perfumer. Edit: So after getting a full bottle and months of wearing this, I realized that this is much better than Les Sables Roses. This is a great masculine rose and incense scent that is just magical. I remember trying this in store one year ago and it didn't last on me at all, but after giving it full wear, I experienced the fragrance differently and for the better, as this is becoming one of my favorite scents.
