Rose Star

The "reminds me of" section is honestly trolling, it smells nothing like the perfumes listed. Its an oriental rose. I usually steer clear of perfumes like that because I do not like strong scents or oud/amber; to me it is headache inducing. I expected that going into the boutique because of the "region exclusive" label. This perfume while being an oriental spicy rose; it does it in a way that isnt cloying and refreshing. I truly think this is a people pleaser, its hard not to like it. I was worried it was going to be similar to Montale's rose perfumes, or Portrait of a lady - but its not. Its oriental but not "in your face" if that makes sense. Delina is another rose scent; but it is so screechy and loud I couldnt enjoy it when many do. Rose Star to me; is Delina grown up, without the rebellion. Shes calmer, and more confident. I would say it smells like Delina, after washing it off with a powdery soap + lipstick. Its addicting. A lady with me at the boutique didnt like it because it wasnt "loud" but Rose Star's subtlety is her strong point. Dont mistake that for being a weak scent; its just the region's preference here for loud perfumes. Rose Star isnt as loud as most perfumes in the region, but it has a strong lasting power. I can still smell the scent from my clothes hanging next to me, and that was over 12 hours ago. The scent imho, is superb. It lasts a very long time, but has soft radiance to it. Its unmistakably feminine. Its hard not to like it. I got a full 200ml bottle.

Gorgeous sherberty sparkling sweet rose fragrance, strawberry rose jam, lychee and a hint of clean cotton washing powder type fragrance that’s so clean & fresh. Thankfully there’s not much pink pepper and I don’t find this spicy at all. This isn’t your typical powdery rose bath cube type fragrance, this is fresh, modern, youthful & vibrant. I’m not really into rose fragrances but I love this one as it’s not your typical rose. Reminds me a bit of the original Ralph Lauren Romance.

I was completely blow away by this frag. I don't understand the hate at all. I can't see much resemblance to anything from the Reminds of section, it's quite original and not a soliflor for sure. Very well-blended, not too heavy, leans more to the fresh side. Muskiness is just on point. Love it!

Just received a sample and this is the best rose scent that Dior has come out. The pear makes it sweet but thus fragrance transcends all seasons. It last for over 7+ hours on my skin with a long projection. Perfect blend of pear, pepper, musk and rose! Well done!!!

It's jammy, rosy, modern but eternal, somehow mouth-wateringly tart. I do not understand the accusations of unoriginality at all - this is absolutely a novel rose to me. Impressive longevity and sillage. Fully intend to invest in a 6.8oz bottle.

I don't know what other people smell but this is gorgeous 😍 Reminds me a lot of Delina DNA,but more pungent I would say! Gorgeous rose fragrance with honey sweet base, I love it and will buy a bottle soon 🩷

Excellent fragrance. Rich, elegant and very long lasting. All the nuances of the oriental rose, floral, then fruity, then muscy, then peppery, fresh, sweet and syropy, all at the same time. Love it!

I honestly think this perfume is overhated for some reason. I personally think it is a good rose scent, perfect for layering or wearing it on its own

shocked to see the hate!? this was absolutely amazing, to me Francis Kurkdjian never misses i truly love most of his perfumes he has my taste.

I don’t know what people been sniffing that call this bad just stick to dupes!

I Smelled this on someone at HYROCK games. oh my gosh!!! it's so amazing.

To my nose, the smell is very similar to Delina Exclusif and Atomic Rose. It's quite long-lasting on my skin with just one spray off the sample vial. It's another jammy rose note, nothing special from FK's creation, but it doesn't make it a bad perfume. I am not sure whether it's the pepper note, but it does linger really strongly on my skin. I am not sure whether I like this or not, just like the Atomic Rose maybe it's just a little too strong for my nose from time to time. Delina Exclusive and Delina I do own and like them. If you are new to Dior perfume then you should be able to find something more special to you. If you like rose, you can try La Colle Noire under its perfume collection. Or if you like this scent then you might want to try some other similar perfume first as it doesn't have to be Dior. Unless you are a fan of the brand....

I genuinely don't understand the hate around this fragrance. It is gorgeous! I first tried it at the Dior store and immediately fell in love with my tester strip. I then owned a bottle for a short period of time and it was still just as good. I'm not a fan of feminine leaning scents, let alone rich rose scents, but this one is done so well. It's so smooth and sexy. It's also strong so don't overspray it or it'll become very overpowering and cloying.

It's nice. I'm not a huge fan of rose, but don't dislike it either. This is a very clear painting of a pink rose, with a surprising amount of spicy pepper. Seems very versatile for all seasons, and has strong performance. It's the quality I'd expect from this perfumer and line. If you love rose, you should give it a try. Edit: I finally realized what this reminds me of. Rose flavored Turkish delight!

Simple lush pink rose pretty much just like the juice color, it’s sweet and jammy but still a bit fresh and sharp smelling, just an overall smooth rose accord. Looking at the notes I couldn’t tell anything apart from literally rose and some musk no honey stickiness more so a code word for a sweetness.

Listen, i’m not saying this is the best rose out there, because there’s no such thing. It is, however, unique with this sharpness that’s hard to pin down. I have a huge bottle I’m never going to get through but I enjoy this scent so much, I don’t even care.

Thought I would love this based on the notes, after testing it’s just nice to me. Nothing to write home about, it smells so similar to the woody roses in my collection. But no doubt it’s beautiful, a deep mature rose.

I have a sample size but as always with FK perfumes I’m disappointed with the sillage. It is expensive too for a pretty unoriginal rose perfume. There are much cheaper and better ones available.

Bit generic rose, not offensive and with a bit of a sweet tone to it. Not too special for the price, as it also doesn’t last that long for me.

Had a sample. Tried a few other niche Diors and only liked 1 of them so far, but this, this is a no again from me. The others weren't my thing, BUT the were some kind of art. Not wearable though. All were the newer creations. But this, this is so plain. Like a designer. The cheaper designer fragrances are even better than this one! This is unoriginal, and dare I say, boring? I will still try it on skin, but on clothes, it doesn't become sweeter as the comments suggest. Only thing I smell is rose .... and musk... actually what it reminded me off, was that paper box filled with old potpourri from the 90's. Nothing fresh, no honey, no pear. Only merit I can give it, it that it lasts forever. Like comments said, reminded me of Chloe, of Narciso Rodriquez (not the one mentionned but the All of me one) and that Kayali one, and the Kayali is more fruity and fresher and younger (and all of them are CHEAPER). This is a scent for a granny, who doesn't want to stand out in a crowd, but disappear in it.
