H&M Rose Absolute

The rose is in this is a lot, it almost reminds me of a toilet freshener. I wish I picked up a litle more incense and spice in this, even after 12 hours and a shower I still smell the rose and just the rose. I didn't even get any of the other notes until I looked it up. Still a good perfume though, it lasts a long time and is very interesting if you take a better sniff at it. Definetly has that portait of a lady vibe as you don't see patchoulli and rose combo's too often.

Dark, dry, smoky and slightly spicy, unsweetend patchouli/oud/rose. A concept that is not new but so well done here you wouldn't expect it considering what you pay for this. Very well blended, totally unisex, lasting power easily 8h. The aura of a cold, overcast winter day. Serious demeanour, hidding a rose past its bloom.

For me is just oud and rose....but i love it

My bottle is almost empty, so I went to H&M just to realize this fragrance has been discontinued. Oh, no! It’s time for a farewell review, then. If you like dark, Arabian opulence, this is for you. It smells expensive like the best rose/oud combos out there. Nothing gourmand, it’s just a deep oud aroma and warm, ripe roses. It is rather an evening fragrance, a good accompaniment to, say, burgundy velvet trousers and a tight cashmere sweater. Not extremely long-lasting, though, but good enough for the price.

This is surprisingly dark! I feel like the spice is definitely more "visible" in the spray while the oil has a heavier emphasis on the rose. I feel like the oil needs to be re-applied regularly but it doesn't bother me a bit since it's very easy to carry around. The spray might get a little overwhelming but the oil stays closer to the skin. So great for the fall - winter season.
