Rose Amira

This is a very expensive fragrance commodity. I've had the luck to wear Rose Amira and Oud Essential for five days because the pharmacy I frequent has them on sale near the register. ("On sale" they are still over USD 200 in Switzerland.) I've already posted about Oud Essential being a very handsome and pleasant fragrance but over the five days my appreciation for Rose Amira on my other, hairy, male, arm, has grown daily. First of all, I concur with other reviewers below who praise its longevity and projection. It performs on me, too. On skin as well as clothes. Of course this is the kind of plush purring patchouli that smells so nice on hairy male skin. Not only are the rose and patch well done, the frankincense is essential to the blend, calming, and adding a bit of spirit. Rose Amira has a long lasting very lovely dry down. It's not powdery rather velvety and slightly sweet. It would be a mistake to assume this really is for women because I think it may better suit men. Yes, it really is an oriental blend, with nods to current Arabic styles, and rose is a pillar of Arabic perfumery for men. The price fits a luxury commodity and I dare suggest the price conscious consumer is going to push back and find the ways to explain how this "isn't worth it" and I agree. It's not worth it, if the price is a challenge. That's the way luxury works, nowadays. Luxury products mostly offer pleasure nowadays when the consumer doesn't wince - at all - about the cost. This is because luxury products have mostly declined in quality, with few exceptions, and prices have risen. But luxury products can still offer pleasures - to the appropriate consumer. Rose Amira is 250 USD on high streets in Switzerland. (Amouages are 400-500!). If that's not your range, find a lovely fragrance for 30 USD, or 60 USD and don't fret about these overpriced commodities. I know this product is not for me, for example. Yet I would wear both of these fragrances, alone and together, with great happiness, if I received them for free. No quibbles whatsoever. They are lovely. I think I would drain the bottles quickly, too, if money was not a factor in the experience.

I'd like to get this review right because this fragrance initially, it's not I expected at all when it was recommended to me by a sales associate at the Duty Free in the Honolulu International Airport. #RIP I was expecting a light, airy rose sent as I hadn't experienced the magic of Guerlain before. Rose Amira is a dark woodsy rose that one could appreciate if they're a novice to different, niche fragrances the way I am. I've had my bottle for a year and I feel like it's more appropriate for crisp fall or winter days when you want to feel warmth in your lungs. I brought it to Philadelphia and New York City and I was right. But here in Hawaii, we generally experience the hot and humid or rainy, windy days. So I just wear it when I want, and I'm okay with that. The thing I appreciate most about this scent is that I don't go nose-blind to it. It takes a couple of hours to go nose-blind to? But even then, by the end of the day, I can still smell hints of the one spritz I used on my skin. Where you spray it definitely has strength and staying power. If I want the fragrance to be a little lighter, I walk into the spritzed cloud. I know that people I work with are sensitive to fragrances and/or may not like this fragrance so I usually like to be mindful of that and spray the fragrance for me in this way. In short, it's too good.

I agree with everything @rene.saller said below. She is spot on. This is similar to Ungaro Diva but with an amplified rose and a more "modern" spirit. Rose Amira also has that bee sting honey bite that Ungaro Diva has. Absolutely stunning and great value for $$$ in my opinion. You can find bottles of this for around $200 and they are 4.2 ounces. That works out to around $50 an ounce. You can definitely tell this is a Guerlain. It has that Guerlain base, just like you can always tell a Chanel from a Patou. A gorgeous slightly powdery, slightly sweet rose and clean patchouli. The olibanum is done in a subtle way which makes this much more feminine. Very musky but I adore Guerlain musks. They amplify the rose and create a rose haze that surrounds you completely. The bottle is absolutely stunning and would look great on my vanity. My husband adores this and would probably like me to drown myself in it. So on the want shelf it goes. Thanks Guerlain for having such great customer service and generous samples. You'll be hearing from me again. If you like Rose fragrances with patchouli like I do This is a beautiful one and a must sniff at the very least. Edit the dry down of this reminds me of my bottle of black perfecto. Very "black musk" with a hint of leather with the rose and patchouli. This is a winner in my book.

This is just so good! Smelt this and fell immediately in love. I agree with the reviews saying it smells a bit 'dirty' at first, to me the opening is indeed quite earthy etc, but wow the rose that remains is perfectly balanced between realistic rose and a sugary, seductive, wealthy rose (but still quite playful). This is not a grandma rose scent whatsoever! The image that comes up when I smell this is that of a really wealthy, playful, slightly mysterious, stunning young woman who is a guest at a billionaire's wedding in Monaco. She's very classy but is out to have some fun. This scent also reminded me of Van Cleef & Arpels 'moonlight rose' and I'd definitely say it's in the same vein! The Van Cleef one is much earthier and much mossier, though, and much better for wintertime. Van Cleef also has that kind of 'hippie shop'-vibe going on with that fragrance (because of the type of patchouli used I think), whereas the Guerlain Rose Amira doesn't have that vibe at all (which I kind of prefer)!

The rose note is strikingly similar to the rose in the L'Art et la Matière line's Rose Centifolia Extrait 1 but at a much more affordable price point. The patchouli, like all Guerlain patchoulis, is clean and herbal, verging on minty. But the rose is truly the star of the show, and even though I have far too many rose-dominant perfumes in my collection, I could see adding this one. I also love the bottles for the Aqua Allegoria and Aqua Allegoria Absolu or whatever the hell subsect of Guerlain AA this is. Perfume is a luxury item, but I appreciate the way that Guerlain offers a range of prices--if everything was as costly as the L'Art et la Matière line, I certainly would not have so many (if any). But the quality is unimpeachable among all the Guerlain offerings, and Rose Amira is no exception. If I had to compare this to a non-Guerlain perfume, I would say that it resembles my beloved Ungaro Diva slightly, only with amplified rose.

I have tested Rosa Amira on few occasions and finally purchased it today. This might not be a super unique scent, I agree with the comments as being similar to popular scents like Portrait of a Lady, or Diptyque Eau Rose EDP, HOWEVER, in those there was always something a bit off, (e.g the artichoke on my skin was a bit bitter or blackberry note too scratchy). Rosa Amira was perfect from the first moment without any little nuisances. It is indeed a dark, velvety, slightly sweet, blackish-red rose. The notes blended so perfectly, that you barely can distinguish, just enjoy the composition. The opening is earthy-incensy dark rose, transforming to velvety dark, rich, deep rose. The dry down is specifically magical, soft, sweeter rose, supported by patchouli so elegantly. It never gets soapy. On my skin musk was unnoticeable. Excellent autumn/winter and/or evening scent, perfect with black, crimson, burgundy or mahogany attire.

If I were in the market to get a rose scent for cooler seasons, Rose Amira would most likely be my first choice. Guerlain is still delivering high quality scents! It’s a deep, balsamic, jammy, but not too sweet, dark, red rose blended effortlessly with a clean, earthy patchouli, warm incense and clean, soft musk. It’s one of those scents that smells like the bottle looks like. Intense, rich and seductive. And it smells good and expensive! I really think Guerlain created a gorgeous, feminine leaning, rose centred fragrance with Rose Amira. It smells like an autumnal rose, so a great idea to release this in September, at least that’s when I was able to sample it for the first time. I wouldn’t purchase this right away but I wouldn’t mind getting as a gift a bottle. I would wear it proudly and it would make me feel like a princess. It’s really beautiful... Priced fairly reasonable, it’s being sold in 125 ml bottles.

Love ❤️ this!! I was recently in Guerlain and of all the fragrances I sniffed, this was my favorite! I rarely pay full retail prices for my fragrances but I decided to treat myself on vacation and I don’t regret it. It’s a stunning scent! It is a bit simplistic in the note structure, but it still works. It is deep and sexy, perfect for fall and winter nights out! It is a gorgeous jammy rose that even those who don’t typically like rose can appreciate. The patchouli is beautiful!! I understand many either love or hate this note, I happen to love it! There is a mysterious feel to it. I picture a femme fatale, sitting in an opulent, dimly lit room wrapped in lush velvet with some incense burning. Sexy and luxurious.

It was sometime in the 70's. I was 4-5 years old. My grandparents had a shop selling vegetables, fruit and potatoes. Turkish migrant workers were plentiful in the Netherlands and they always shopped at my grandparents because their products were fresh every day. We had a pleasant relationship with them and taught them all about the Netherlands. The Turkish men taught us some Turkish words I still know. During their vacation they visited their home country and brought us small gifts. I still have a few, one of which is a carved wooden minaret with a glass tube with rose oil in it. When I say it, I can still smell it in my mind. Now this perfume reminds me a lot of it. Ancient Turkish rose oil! And I love it.

Let me tell you, this perfume grasped me in its clutches. It came as a sample with my order but I was kind of put off by the dirty opening. I put it away. Months later, I thought about it again, bought another sample, and became like a feral junkie. Every time I sniff it, I get vivid images - real things, imagined things, emotions just running across my mind. It unlocks something in my imagination. It's deep and sexy. I came to CRAVE the dirt. It's an extravagant fragrance so I don't think I'll wear it often, but man does it pack a punch. I tracked down a gold label bottle before they become totally extinct. I have been very impressed by every Delphine Jelk creation I have smelled so far.

I think they've improved the formulation after releasing the batch that left people disappointed. I bought this in the beginning of 2026. It has a maroon label and when I read the reviews my heart sank because everyone was disappointed in the performance of the kew batch with a maroon label. But I was astonished and happily surprised when this perfume performed amazingly on me. It stays on my skin for up to 10h. I can work out and it won't budge. The next day after wearing it I can smell it on my clothes. It's a beautiful scent and I'm over the moon about the performance. It's a lovely rose perfume that develops gorgeously on the skin, worth every penny.

Indeed, this is a royal princess ... not yet a queen, for she is lively, flowery, blooming, but not thorny or arrogant. She is lovely, a royal princess who is in love ... with the universe, with herself, with her friends, but not in such a way that she desperately needs a husband to feel whole. She is at peace with herself. Recognizable notes: lots of blooming pink and red roses, a deep burgundy rose in the background, a hint of pepper, incense, liquid amber and some earthy patchouli that seems “weightless” at the same time. It is a wind that comes from middle east rose gardens at sunset, kind of "1000 and 1 nights".

Im not a rose scent girl but recently ive been exploring rose more and more. This is one that I love and once I tried it I bought it. I didnt need to wait. The quality of ingredients is high. Its a lovely clean rose scent with an oriental background if that makes sense! Its clean but not soapy clean because in comes the oriental side of it without it being too woody. Its a lovely balance. I wouldn't say its not for heat. I live in the uae and its summer and im wearing it! I find it unisex if a man wants to smell like a rose 🤷🏼♀️. I absolutely love it

Sophisticated, tangy, smokey, and other worldly rose. It smells like a wedding bouquet in a cathedral, the frankincense really comes through and makes the smell nostalgic and cozy as well. It is definitely a date night smell, wear it for your intimate occasions, and you will feel like a true seductress. I can spray this perfume in the morning and the smell stays with me for 24 hours, and even post shower. Clothes that were sprayed keep the smell for several days. This makes the otherwise higher price, completely worth it.

What a beauty! I gathered together several rose fragrances to wear for Valentine's week (some I have bottles of, some just samples) and this one is my favorite. The rose category isn't my first natural inclination as I more easily fall for white florals, but Rose Amira .... my goodness. This is a transcendent fragrance for me, and I don't even know what this magic is that I am smelling. I just had a little carded sample and today was desperately trying to get every last molecule out of it! It captivates me!

My most favourite scent in a long while this is gorgeous smells a little dirty at first but once it drys down smells like real red roses with the stem and leaves oh it’s so good it does dry down very earthy I’m presuming it’s the all natural products nothing extra added I compared this to mid night poison and wow this is loud so loud but so lovely gives me a boost during these lovely spring mornings and evenings I’m getting another bottle I got ambre samar and Santal royal which are equally lovely

Very beautiful rose petals and aloof frankincense. I like this release although it is so close to Amouge - Rose Incence that I had to smell them side by side to comprehend the differences. I can imagine it projecting beautifully all year round especially under the sun but avoid over spraying it during hotter days. P.S. I am so disappointed that they are using the aqua allegoria bottles for this collection now. The outgoing bottles used to be better in everyway possible.

Wow. An absolutely stunning execution of a rich rose patchouli musk. From initial spray to deepest drydown Rose Amira is gorgeous. Complex, interesting, sensual, 8+ hrs longevity, moderate sillage and projection. A very beautiful bottle with the prettiest plum colored juice inside as well. My batch code indicates this was made in Dec 2025 and it has a burgundy colored label. I haven't tried other versions but am very happy with this one.

I agree with Sibaraa, though this isn't an oud scent it's what I always hope rose and oud scents will smell like. I've tested it alongside a couple of popular rose and oud scents for comparison, and it's like a much more beautiful and refined version of the same concept. I don't think I'll get a full bottle because it's not really my scent profile and I don't think I'd get the use out of it, but I may get a larger decant.

Beautiful classic juicy rose scent, clean scent yet simultaneously layered and seductive during the dry down. Really beautiful, and a lovely choice for rose lovers. I didn't end up grabbing this one as it was more of a nighttime scent and I was looking for something brighter and more youthful. Though this one is excellent I can see how some people may see this as "mature" or erring on the side of matronly or older.
