Rosam

I have been searching for just one review that agrees with me, but I haven’t found any. To me, both on a blotter and on my skin, Rosam is one of the most saffron centric perfumes I have smelled in a long time. Where I have found saffron notes to be metallic and screechy at best, this one hits you like the scent of freshly bloomed Iranian saffron in rose water. Of course the rose is there but only to complement the saffron, to make it more floral. I don’t detect any Oud or patchouli myself, but I do get soft, comforting sandalwood; again, right in the background to further smoothen the saffron and rose. And it absolutely lasts. I was trying a handful of fragrances at the same time, and Rosam was by far the most powerful and persevering, eclipsing all the other scents on my arms. Really well done, elegant, and refined; ideal for summer. Edit - 1st March 2023: My partner has never liked this one, commenting today that it was “horrible” and smelled “like roots”. It was later likened to “those roots you sometimes put in pulao”: vetiver root. A Guyanese friend of mine had stated that I smelled of paan (betel leaf) when I had wore this at dinner. I am not sure where these people are getting the green notes from...

cyborg roses floating in safraleine metallic bath. could be something cdg put out: organic/industrial done right. seems like rosam pulls off the kind of frag sospiro - for example - seems desperately tyrying to, for a fraction of the cost. perhaps the most 'mainstream' of this superb "editions rare" trilogy, but still holds plenty of interest and severe, assertive beauty

This fragrance is now my go to unisex rose! As much as I enjoy Portrait of a Lady, I find it a little to heavy to wear on a semi- regular basis. Rosome is lighter but still has the longevity that I love from Portrait of a Lady. This is a welcome addition to my collection and I can see myself wearing this, with a dark suit in the cooler months. Quality Sensuality!

Nice smelling niche fragrance that manages to keep the rose scent afloat for many hours without the out overpowering it. It is one of those rare rose fragrances that to my nose leans more masculine (most probably because of the base notes).

Oh yea , This goes well with a pair of jeans , short sleve button up shirt , Rolex or Omega on the wrist , Cup of Coffee on any day of the week or month of the year.10/10 for being good .
