Rose Centifolia Extrait 1

Wow! I'm surprised, really. I LOVE rose flower with all my heart. And there are couple of perfumes I own with a very nice rose. I expected from this rose to be realistic but with a good amount of heavy notes, which can be aggressive if applied more than 1-2 sprays. Yesterday I got my Rose and it such a good lady. Very nice, pure red full body rose with it's warm velvety and slightly fruity accents. I sprayed it today right on the front side of the neck (1 spray) because it's so nice and not aggressive that there is no need to spay it far from nose, she does not need any distance and time to transform a lot. She is my best rose friend, I love her already. And this is my 2d bottle of extract (first one is Vanilla which is crazy awesome, be has more demanding character). Both are MASTERPIECES!!!! AWWWWW!!! thank you, Guerlain!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👌🏻💕💕💕💕💕💕 PS: I'm very into essential oils right now, cause my body demands clean stuff now, and this beautiful perfume (the sole of the Rose) is aligned very much with all this natural-stuff craving, no contradiction at all. So good,

This is the most phenomenal rose! And then in the dry down the patchouli and earthiness comes on and it is a lot like oud. A much better implementation of rose and oud if you don’t love oud. But al kimiya by royal crown is the best rose oud yes even more than oud satin mood. For the best rose perfumes this is my list: 1.) al kimiya by royal crown (oud rose) 2.) rose centerfolia extrait 1 (this) (green rose) 3.) portrait of a lady (spicy rose) 4.) Promenade Sur Le Rocher by Grace de Monaco 5.) oud satin mood (vanilla rose, tamed oud) 6.) rose palissandro by guerlain 10.) dawn (best of desert gems) 37.) oud silk mood (moderate on oud) 200.) the night (very heavy oud) 1,000,000,999.) the moon (disappearing fruit, all leather and smoke) Rose centerfolia extrait 1 (this) has now completely dried and it has a bit of a chocking factor so spray lightly!

Update: yesterday was my 3rd time wearing it and the first thing I noticed is what I called a “dizzy rose.” 1.) I love it even more now 2.) I’ve overcome any abrasion to the earthy dry down smell. A dizzy rose is not a headache, but a heavy, beautiful waff of a scent that consumed your sense of smell entirely. I’ve only been able to experience this with rose and first was with portrait of a lady. Except that took 5 or so sprays on my arms. Many will cause my crazy. For rose centerfolia 1, it took 2 sprays one on each wrist and someone walking behind me that has a diminished sense of smell complimented me.

At the city centre of Rotterdam at “De Bijenkorf” I walked into the same rep from Guerlain as a few weeks ago at another perfum store. We talked, again, and I was introduced to this scent. The rest of that day and the next, I was in heaven. What a deep, beautiful, long lasting scent. Although I already have 2 bottles of the new millesime rose... There is no doupt in my mind: This perfume wins by a landslide!!! But at 550 Euro’s. O, my. I was afraid to ask for a tester. But I would have loved having received one.

Comments are different because this rose is complex and the personal experience/expectations of each reader is different, as well as their skin chemistry. My relationship with this beauty has been excellent. It is moderately sharp and fresh, and keeps the uplifting rose sharpness for a long time. On my skin it is not amber, sweet or oriental, it is warmer and sweeter towards the end, but again moderately. There is a chypre/patchouli nuance but well balanced and not sharp. I love this rose.

Is it delightful and high quality? Yes. Does it lean old fashioned? Not really. A very very pure rose heart that manages not to be overly sweet or cloying. A very straightforward note profile, but superbly well executed. Completely unisex and for me suitable all seasons. It’s polished and elegant while doing absolutely nothing adventurous. Quiet luxury vibes. Is it worth the money? Absolutely not. Did I buy it anyway as a rose enthusiast? Yes.

Beautiful Gorgeous Rose. Fabulous scent. I had to buy. The rose definitely dominates, sweet, soo well done. I am soo drawn to this kind of Rose. Just amazing. Yes, patchouli is there, but it is smooth, not dirty, or sharp. To me, the patchouli here, reads almost 'chocolatey' with the hint of olibanum. Honestly, I tend to steer clear of patchouli in fragrances, but this perfect, and it doesn't over power the star of the fragrance - rose.

This is an intensely rich and deep rose perfume, entirely centered around the theme of roses. Patchouli dominates at the beginning, but gradually fades with time, allowing the exquisite scent of roses to stand out alongside olibanum. I absolutely love it, and the 30% concentration of perfume extract ensures its fragrance lasts for an extended period. But to be honest, the price of this is making me feel queasy.

If u are looking for a rose fragrance, this is it. I think this one is very unisex although i understand people saying it leans feminine. If u want more masculine, go for Radical Rose from matiere premiere, more spice and less rose. But this is a 10/10 fragrance for me, i almost want to say that the price is justifiable for the extremely good quality and the fact that u only need two sprays of it.

My Holy Lord! This rose is THE BEST ROSE EVER! I love and appreciate rose, however it’s hard to have good perfume rose and I’m lucky to own rose masterpieces in my collection, but this one is a queen of the queens. Love it. It just posh, natural, mature and enveloping. Technical characteristics of this masterpiece are outstanding-1-2 sprays lasts forever. Thank you, my lovely Guerlain!!!

This opens with a patchouli sweet scent of full bloom heavy Rose similar to Portrait of a Lady, and the dry down is a wonderful soft rose similar to Lipstick Rose from Frederic Malle. Long lasting, but perhaps not as potent as the vanilla, jasmine and Tonka in this range. It is a very nostalgic scent for me, hence purchase of the full bottle.

I only have a sample of it. It's very real, and has a honey-sweetness that some real roses have. It reminds me of Jo Malone's Red Roses but stronger. It's much better than Forte Rosa Rossa. I don't love it enough to buy a full bottle at that price. Any season. Day or night.

My favourite Guerlain Extrait at the minute, this is just fantastic. Not talked about enough for how good this is. It smells exactly like what I would imagine heaven smells like. AMAZING. Smell: 9.8/10 Performance: 7.5/10 Bottle/atomiser: 8.4/10 Overall: 9.5/10

I am 💯 agreeing the privious rivew its the best rose fragrance in market and this is for all rose and non rose lovers too ,more feminine leaning but if men also use its beauty in bottles and ohh yes i love Gurlain bottles

It is a fresh rose, slightly sweet and oriental. Extremely long lasting, due to a high content of oils. Does not smell like POAL, which contains different type of rose (damascena).

What a beautiful extrait. This Rose Centifolia is luxurious on its own and great for layering with masculine scent to add dimension and luxury. Long lasting and nice sillage.

This is one of the best rose fragrance in market as my self not a rose lover but this is so so good mens can wear it too oh my God i love it

I can’t believe I’m about to say this.... But I think it’s worth the price .

I am going through the samples of the extraits. The opening is gorgeous. It's such a majestic rose! There is no old-fashioned Bulgarian rose (which is usually associated with a bold rose), but rather slightly jammy rose, somewhere in-between Rose de Taif and Rose centifolia which is a fresher rose. I think if you love rose scents, it's a must-to-try. Me, personally; I'm not a big rose fan, but even I was impressed. After the opening, I feel an earthy note. I wouldn't definitely say it's patchouli, but there is only patchouli listed, so attribute it to it. An earthy note is almost solid. Like having first smelled a rose bud and going down to smell the roots of the plant. I can't really find it too attractive however, it adds a certain edge to the scent. Unfortunately for me, I can't get over it. It stays pretty linear after that. Conclusion: worth sampling, I'm not sure I can splurge on this one, but would definitely wear it if gifted. It's not close or similar to POAL or Eau Capitale in my opinion.

Alright, this is a perfect example of a very strong scented natural dark pink rose. Not enough depth for red rose but deep and fresh smelling enough for a dark pink rose. If youve had a rose garden you know what im talking about. Patchouli is there, it doesnt smell bitter or dirty, it makes it smell more natural, like a rose after rain, the ground, plants, trees around it are still wet from the rain. I find it pretty, not my favorite rose though
