Burning Rose

Gorgeous deep, dark, sultry, sensuous, spicy, womanly rose. Rich bulgarian rose damascena here brought out to full blooming glory nestled cozily in a plush bed of fiery hot cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger. The patchouli is exquisitely beautiful here; warm, earthy, herby, dense, deep, chewy, minty, menthol-like, and thick, but amazingly and wonderfully clean like a fresh growing patchouli plant; no moldy cheap disgusting stale dying plant graveyard dirt odors here. This is maddeningly fabulous to me on my skin! Smoother and far more silky feminine than Amorem Rose. More effervescent than Rose D'Isparta. Cleaner and more transparently constructed than the other two. Much more sweet and chewy than Amorem Rose owing to the exquisitely deft handling of the Indonesian Patchouli here in tandem with the Myrrh in the base; less dry, a little moist and touchable, but not at all cloying or sticky with an absolutely fabulous soft/smokey resinous drydown. Less sweet than the Rose D'Isparta but fresher in character with the cinnamon/ginger melding much more seamlessly with the rose element than the saffron/rose combo of the other two. The rose note itself is richer and sweeter here. This one is much more........languid and relaxed in feeling. This one melts into the skin and feels like it seduces the nose inwards rather than radiating outwards in spicy aggression like the other two. All three are very dark spicy roses, but this one is definitely the most Yin in character. Amorem Rose is definitely more Yang to me. The Rose D'Isparta falling in between the two. I definitely prefer this one on my skin. I absolutely adore this one. Edit: The bottle really is magnificent, weighty and substantial. The magnetic cap is wonderful too.

Dark, mysterious, sensual and captivating! Burning rose is yet another stellar offering from the CH confidential line and it was a very easy love for me which is saying something since I don't get along with most dark rose centric fragrances. Imagine burning a full beautiful red rose that has been lightly dusted with powdered sugar and some spices. In a few moments, the fire has gone out but rose continues to burn slowly, with glowing ember-y remnants of the fire slowly consuming the petals and caramelizing the sugar, producing the most gorgeous spiced, smoky rose scent. To put it simply, it is a sweet (but not syrupy or jammy) rose but also dark, spiced rose enveloped in a subtle incense-y smokiness. The smoke is not overwhelming as it is in Commodity Velvet, as another reviewer noted, and the rose is not a quite as sweet (but it does get sweeter with wear). Patchouli lends a hint of earthiness to the composition but nothing too loud or obnoxious and serves mainly to ground all the other notes which are superbly blended. No one note is fighting for the spotlight and the end result is my perfect dark rose scent! I thought Elie Saab Essence rose was going to be the one (but it was a disappointment) but Burning Rose is everything I wanted from this scent profile. This leans slightly more feminine in my opinion and the performance is great as is with most fragrances from this line which can, it seems, no do wrong to my nose. Highly recommend getting your nose on this especially, if you love rose in fragrances.

This is one of my favourite dark rose perfumes. It reminds me a lot of MFK Oud Satin Mood, but yet is quite distinct from it too. It has the same enveloping deep red rose and I get oud too even though it isn’t listed. This is probably the wood. However this is paired with a sweet spicy accord, in which the cinnamon is prominent. Rose cinnamon is a great combination, and reminds me a bit of the favours of cinnamon chewing gum that I loved as a child and rose flavoured chocolate (from the rose patchouli combo). Yum. Whilst this is not really a gourmand perfume, there are some foody notes in this oriental. The spicy and sweet notes combine to prevent the perfume from becoming cloying or overbearing. After a few hours the spiciness settles and a smokey note drifts in. I am very glad to say this is not a tobacco note but more like the faint smell of a distant fire. The rose persists until the drydown (about 6 hours) and the perfume settles to become a warm, slightly balsamic and smokey Rose fragrance that lingers on for a few more hours. This is fairly unisex. Sillage moderate. More suited to evening. I wore it in sumner but better for winter.

This is my favorite rose perfume that I have ever smelled. I love rose in perfume, but Burning Rose is everything I have ever wanted from any dark rose perfume I smell. Burning, yes, but not too smoky so it goes sour like in Commodity Velvet. Spicy with cinnamon, yes, but not so spicy you smell like pie, like in Coco. Sweet, dusky, mysterious, captivating, ROSE. It's not too medicinal, too woody, too sugary, too metallic, it's just the perfect balance of deep dark rose that no other perfume achieves. Patchouli is here but this is not a patchouli-rose traditional combo. Turns a little musky and ambery on my skin, the dry down is different from the opening, and becomes something I can't describe, but I just love it. The scent is so me, from top to bottom. It wears so comfortably, never overbearing. My husband bought me a mini some years ago, and I am planning to buy a full bottle when I feel I can justify the price tag. This is a must buy for me, though. I don't think I will ever smell a rose perfume that I like more than this one. Perfection.

Burning Rose is very feminine and gorgeous. This fragrance is along the lines with Lancome Oud Bouquet, Oud Satin Mood, Kayali Sweet Diamond, Nina Ricci L'Extase Rose Absolue and etc, just to give an idea what direction this fragrance is going. It definitely has its own uniqueness and Herrera DNA. Sweet slightly Oudy, spiced and a little powdery rose. Spices are not strong, it wont make you sneeze or anything, its very well blended. Fall/Winter kind of a fragrance. If you like the fragrances I mentioned above, you most likely will like Burning Rose too. I would say this one is the most feminine leaning from the confidential line. Very good date night out kind of a scent. I would also compare it to Nightfall Patchouli because of the rose and patchouli, but of course they are different fragrances, juts one reminds me of another, probably because of that Herrera Confidential DNA. For me its easily one of the favorites from the Confidential line along with Bronze Tonka and Nightfall Patchouli. Very happy I got my hands on it finally.

Lots of patchouli in this one, but I really like the ginger note in it. Initially this has a strong black pepper note that I'm glad is only a top note and soon fades away. It gets your attention but is a bit too harsh for me. Fragrantica also does not list a myrrh note that is listed in the official perfumer's notes. It's not a very strong myrrh fragrance, though. I really like the drydown, but it's actually not a strong rose fragrance. Much more about the spices, the ginger, and cinnamon, blending with patchouli. I just like it because it's bold and has good longevity and you can really tell you're wearing perfume. If you're looking to be noticed for your perfume (and sometimes I am) this is a good fragrance. The bottle is beautiful. These can be ordered from the Carolina Herrera boutiques. Very different from the current wave of wimpy, powdery rose florals. More of a throwback to an '80's type of fragrance with the spiciness.

Carolina Herrera's Burning Rose truly befits the name. From the moment you spray it on until the sweetness of it fades, you will sense the smell of slightly burning Damascena Roses, Cinnamon Bark, Patchouli and a brew of Black Pepper, Ginger and Myyrrh. This scent is like the finest quality Red Wine, it is dark, mysterious, sensual and alluring. I don't find this scent changes much, and I prefer it that way, but it does become sweeter on my skin, mainly from the Cinnamon and maybe Vanilla? I would wear this scent in colder months, mostly at night or in the evening. Silage and longevity are quite good, this scent will fill the room when you're in it. Oozing with richness and opulence, Burning Rose is very grand indeed, one of the most enticing fragrances I have, not to mention the beautiful heavy glass bottles with magnetic lids they come in, I find this fragrance to be just perfect from every aspect!

Burning Rose is a beautifully warm and comforting floral fragrance that strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and enchantment. It opens with a gentle yet intriguing kick of black pepper and nutmeg, adding a spicy nuance that never feels overpowering. As the scent develops, the star of the show—rose—blends seamlessly with cinnamon, creating a surprisingly harmonious and captivating accord. As it settles, earthy amber notes of patchouli and labdanum emerge, adding depth and richness to the composition. This unisex fragrance feels equally special on anyone, making it a versatile and elegant choice. With good projection and a lasting power of up to six hours, Burning Rose is a stunning scent that is both inviting and unforgettable. Rating: 5/5

Burning Rose by Carolina Herrera is a scent that speaks straight to my heart as both a rose and patchouli lover. It’s intense, sultry, and poetic. Where velvety red roses burn slowly over a base of smoky woods and earthy patchouli. It’s not your typical floral, this rose is mysterious, passionate, and unforgettable. What makes this fragrance even more special to me is that it was a gift from my brother. Every time I wear it, I’m reminded not only of the power of scent, but of the bond we share. It’s a fragrance tied to both love and memory, the warm, powerful, and deeply personal. Burning Rose doesn’t just stay on your skin, it lingers in your soul.

I love rose fragrances and this is very spicy rose juice with smoke, yet make it a unique fragrance. Its very warm fragrance and fall into oriental category and definitely unisex. I feel its more sexy on women than men. I have smelled the whole line and still find this the most beautiful fragrance among them. It's turning heads fragrance and find it very deep mysterious warm spicy scent. When I walk in the office, people immediately asks me what I'm wearing and got many complements. You can't go wrong with this fragrance, it's a signature for me ! I love it.

It finally made it from the UAE, it is as beautiful as expected. It is a very deep rose created for people who do not care what others think of the perfumes they wear. Absolutely worth the hefty price I paid for it. The box along with the packaging make the fragrance looks expensive as it is. I would like to purchase two other bottles from the same line in the near future.

Burning rose is one of the most beautiful scents I have ever smelled. This is a very realistic rose mixed with spices, a little sweet, and a hint of leather. It is divine. I just yearn for it to last longer. I yearn for it to project. For the price, I need it to. Sandal Ruby from this collection smells just as good and does all of that! Chose that one!

Can we update the nose who created this beauty. It appears this should be attributed to the very talented Olivier Pescheux who very recently passed away. If this could be confirmed and updated it would be wonderful. Very very sad to hear of his passing ❤️

Understated rose and spice! Sexy, classy and mysterious. It does not assault the senses. It makes you want to continuously sniff yourself. Easy to wear. I wore this on a windy day and everyone i passed asked about it. Simply gorgeous.

I couldn't stop thinking about what this smells like. In the gym it came to me Amber Aoud by Roja. This is a super fantastic sweet and spicy rose with some eearthy, but non hippie patchouli that hints at a sweet expensive oud.

CAROLINA HERRERA website listing for Burning Rose perfume lists this as the fragrance pyramid. Top Notes: Black Pepper, Nutmeg Indonesia & Ginger Heart Notes: Rose & Cinnamon Laos Bottom Notes: Patchouli & Myrrh

For me this is the perfect rose: Smoky, spicy and like the name implies, it is not the fresh innocent rose, but the burnt redolent petals of incense. Just gorgeous, and in a beautiful bottle to boot.

Really great, luxary scent. I tried this last winter, and in the summer i bought it! Unfortunatly in this season sillage is almost zero! Im waitting for cold season to wear this masterpiece

Warm, beautiful and comforting, but smouldering. Equally suited to a casual sweatshirt day as to an evening out. Beautiful bottle. Winner. Plus I love Carolina Hererra the lady. All class.
