Pure DKNY A Drop Of Rose

I just purchased this luxurious scent and it has me totally captivated...obsessed even! Once I spray it on, my wrist is practically super glued to my nose. I just can't get enough of these dewy, heady, sublime roses. To my nose, this really smells like a fresh rose bush or bouquet. Incredible. Indulgent. Irresistible. I am so sad however...I have found that it is not detectable in the slightest after the first 30-45 minutes no matter what I have tried to extend its life on my skin. I usually spray pretty lightly because my husband has allergies and a very low tolerance for fragrances, but I have even broken my rule about that and have been spraying a LOT on at a time (about 5-7 spritzes on my neck and 2-3 spritzes on each wrist). Sadly, even this isn't helping the intensity, the longevity or the sillage at all. I went ahead and practically soaked my shirt with it and it didn't even hold on to fabric any longer any better than my skin. What a letdown! I love this scent so much - it would definitely have to be in my top 10 favorites - except for the fact that it doesn't exist after 30 minutes. So...I'm going to enjoy it at home. where I can keep the bottle next to me and reapply at least once per hour. This juice is so precious, it is well worth the inconvenience! ETA: It is now the very end of summer here, and because I have read others mention that the season can change the way one's chemistry reacts to scents, I've been trying this perfume again the past week or so. I have to say that the season-chemistry connection idea must be correct, for me and this frag at least. Before, this scent seemed to last a mere few minutes on me - and now a couple of spritzes last for at least 4 hours. Quite an improvement, especially since the scent itself is divine! I plan to continue to test throughout the seasons and I thank those who have postulated this idea very much!

Mmmh... A drop of rose is amazing. It smells just like fresh cut roses. Picture a bouquet of roses with the morning dew still on its petals, that's what this DKNY perfume smell like to me. The rose in here is very dominant, I smell almost nothing else but the rose, which I like. There is something that help cut down any sharpness, but I can't put my finger on it. Could be the vanilla but it's by no means a sweet vanilla scent. Pure rose, I love it. I smells likes roses for hours and it's a delicate and fresh, no powdery sweetness. I feel like an English lady in long white chiffon dresses when I wear this.

This reminds me of a rose-scented face cream I used to use as a kid, and I have to say it's really nostalgic. This perfume smells like real rose...not the synthetic smell of roses, but actual, full-on rose. If I have to compare it, I would compare it to something like l'Occitaine's Rose 4 Reines...very heady rose. For me, the rose scent turns powdery, but remains a steady rose scent on my skin...it also lasts quite long on my skin. It's definitely a very classic, feminine scent.

This might one of the most beautiful rose perfumes I have ever smelled. I tried really hard to like "Florabotanica" but felt that it was too "perfumey." This one is the total opposite. It literally smells like pure rose, as if they just blended a bouquet of roses and threw it in a bottle. It's soft and feminine, and I feel like that is what Florabotanica was lacking.

Fresh, clean and clear. And natural. Like fresh rose petals. Both this and a drop of vanilla appeal to me. The rose is accompanied by magnolia. Black currant is very sheer, the same with verbena. Just to highlight the rose. It has a good presence. Sad to hear it is discontinued. At least I have my bottle.
