Rosa Carnivora

This is a very dry unisex rose in the vein of Rose 31–originally intended as a rose fragrance for men. It shares many qualities. Daphné Bugey seem to be creating Rose 31 iterations for various clients. A side-by-side comparison reveals Rosa Carnviora to be drier and woodier, accentuating the sweeter spicier facets of Rose 31. The dry down is patchouli vetiver forward that remains in the realm of musky patchouli. I detect a similar dry down to another patchouli-dominant fragrance in the range– Cannabis Patchouli.

This smells like an iteration of Rose 31... As though the perfumer had a draft variation that she's given to the house of Dries Van Noten. If you enjoy Rose 31, you'd enjoy Rosa Carnivora.

This is a well blended rose fragrance, natural and soft. I will love to bathe myself with this if it wasn't $350

A strong version of Rose Ardoise from Atelier Materi! Really goood! Will be picking this one over Rose Ardoise!

Third one from the new DvN range I've tried and it's three for three in the Yummers column. The rose is less dominant than the name implies and certainly less so than in the other similar offering from the same range (Raving Rose, which I preferred), this more of a soft musk. Like the others below me have said it's not especially groundbreaking but it is very wearable and if I had a full bottle (unlikely at this price tbh) I could see myself wearing it a lot. I can still smell it on my skin ten hours after application.

This is just Rose 31, right? It's rose and vetiver and musk in almost the exact same proportions as Rose 31 but probably cheaper and definitely lighter and more ephemeral. So if you like Rose 31, but only after it's dried down for about 4 hours, and you don't want to pay those absurd Le Labo prices, check this one out. (Disclaimer: Rosa Carnivora may not actually be cheaper, but I'm too indifferent to confirm.) Edit: My god, it's actually even more expensive than Rose 31. WTF

Opens green and fresh, a pleasant rose that feels a little out of my tax bracket? I've noticed some intentional 'aging' to the Dries Van Noten ouvre, which makes sense at its price point! The older women with the money to pay for this don't want to smell like highschoolers or club kids. Dries down to a balsamic / vanillic hay very quickly, you get maybe an hour of fresh rose. This is really nice, but not for me.

Everlasting vintage rose! I could still smell it on my skin the next morning. 18 hour performance. Dry down is a combination of Vetiver and patchouli. Not in a dirty but a clean twist. Not sure if this fragrance is a necessity, but it is synonymous with luxurious jacquard Dries fabrics.

The fragrance is most suitable for cooler days because of its heavy woodsy notes. Warm base notes are the most pleasant in my opinion. Over all it doesn’t deliver any more than what it is supposed to be. Mature unisex Chypre style fragrance for anyone that take their outfit seriously.

Anyone who may be missing the discontinued Elizabeth & James Nirvana Rose will find a suitable fill-in with Rosa Carnivora - not exactly the same, but both are mature, spicy roses...the Nirvana being a bit more green and Carnivora bringing a little more sweetness.

Errrrrrrm.... This is a bit lovely. It's earthy, slightly sweaty cumin and patchouli/vetiver with a metallic rose note. I've smelled similar perfumes to this but hey, I'm not unrealistic, nor am I looking for absolute innovation every time, I like it.

I agree this smells like JHAG Lady Vengeance. More earthy at first, but dries to the same musky clean rose 🌹 Smells like rose scented lotion on freshly showered skin. Love ❤️

This is very soft rose with spikey opening due to pepper. I like vetimere so much there. Dries down to feminine scent.

This fragrance really isn't all that and it reminds me of many other very woody and patchouli-drenched rose perfumes I have smelt before. It isn't a bad smell, but it lacks freshness and lightness and makes me think of pot pourri. It is also quite ambery, resinous and strong smelling to my nose. I wouldn't call this a romantic or a feminine rose perfume, but something that leans much more unisex in my opinion and could be equally worn by both a woman or a man. It isn't sweet in any way either, which I would have much preferred. Rose of No Man's Land by Byredo reminds me of this, which is also a very dry, slightly sour and dusty rose lacking freshness. I could only see it being worn in the fall or winter during the evening because of this, so as not to overwhelm others. This is NOT an office-friendly fragrance! The bottle is very pretty though and the longevity and sillage are very good, giving me a projection of about 6 feet and a wear time of 8 and a half hours. It is also a quality fragrance and you can smell it is made of very good ingredients. It is still overpriced though for what it is and I'd only give it a 5.8/10.

This is a rose rose rose fragrance. As in there is very little else I smell in it. Unfortunately the rose isn’t that pleasant and it’s very very powdery. It’s a strange combination of synthetic slightly off rose notes and baby powder. Eventually it turns more pleasent to my nose but this is around an hour in. At this point both the rose and powdery notes have faded drastically, allowing for just the slightest hints of a different floral note and a hint of earthiness. Performance wise Rosa Carnivora was just slightly weak all around. I got about 3 hours on longevity on my skin and under 1 on my clothing. A 2/10 here. Projection unfortunately was no better, Rosa Carnivora was a skin scent from the moment I put it on. At its strongest rising maybe 2 inches off my skin. A 3/10 here. Overall Rosa Carnivora is a 2/10 for me. It didn’t perform very well on my skin and over a 3rd of its life spans is a rose baby powder combination that just isn’t for me. Unfortunately the fact it takes over an hour of dry down to become enjoyable for me is absolutely crippling on a fragrance that lasts 3 hours total.

This gives me Coco Mademoiselle vibes. I personally don't like patchouli and it gives me an adult connotation, but really if this is your taste you will enjoy it. The thing about this perfume is that has an insane lasting time, I have never tested a perfume that lasted for 3 days, but this one does.

A lovely airy rose with some light green patchouli and vetiver notes in the opening. Not particularly woody. Fades completely within an hour, so I cannot speak to the drydown.

It's a very pleasant, fresh rose, but agree that it's pretty much copy+paste from Daphné Bugey's previous works and also similar to Amouage Lyric Man.

Smells identical to rose 31 but for twice the price and drys down into something akin to a bathroom spray

Chewy, musky black rose that is decidedly sugar-free. There’s also something that rings of anise or hard liquorice to me. Not like Redvines liquorice, but the hardtack Swedish stuff that punishes you for eating it. I know the goal for this scent was a raw, thorny rose but I just couldn’t shake the dank, mulchy soil notes. I also felt it was a bit too “mature” for my taste – I distinctly recall smelling a similar rose on my bisnonna. Longevity: at least 6h; I couldn’t take any more and had to bubble bath it off Mental Snapshot: Rain falls heavily, drenching the procession as they forge through your well-topiaried garden. However, you remain dry as old Egbert’s ashes. On your left: Leonie, the delicious estate attorney, clutching your arm. On your right: Waldemar, your winsome manservant, holding your umbrella. A shame your husband accidentally died... on purpose. tl;dr: must be worn with a mink and cigarette holder 🥀⛈
