Persian Rose

Bottom line up front: very musky, noticeable animalic smells (in a good way), dried fruits, with a complex blend of roses. The roses are not in your face, but they are definitely there. Very middle eastern vibe overall. When I first sprayed this, I did not get the rose smells. It took a couple wears for my nose to adjust but now I'm loving it. I did expect some in your face rose but it's moderate. To get the effect I wanted, I added a mixture of 10% Tom Ford Rose de Russie and 10% Tom Ford Rose Di Amalfi. I couldn't be happier with what this thing is now. It has some musky animalic smells that just have a very sexual vibe. Perfect for date nights for women, or if you want to smell like a middle eastern prince. I can say I don't know anything else that smells like this. I have not tried Narjessi, but when I can source a decant, I'll update the review to compare. This fragrance has about a 8 hour longevity on me with fantastic projection and sillage. I'm very happy with the price for the quality. Not for everyone, but it has a high place in my 50+ fragrance collection.

Havent tried Narjesi but this is a rose flavored turkish delight. A full bodied rose with gourmand tendencies. Exquisite. I usually hate gourmands however this is a thing of beauty. 10/10 Beautiful sillage and great longevity. Excellent value for money! Edit 16/11/25: A year later this is still such a great rose scent. Definitely get a sample at least. If you’re a fan of Hibiscus Mahajad but wanted something more conventional rather than Crivelli’s contemporary style try this for a black tie event.
