Smolderose

This perfume oil is smoky, ambery, and has a mysterious mixture of rose and citrus. The smoke is done very well and it lasts a long while. After about two hours much more of the amber notes and honey peek through and it mellows into something like rose dipped in gentle honey but with a spicy edge. Well into the day it's still going, now fading to a resin-ish amber with some hint of vanilla and gourmand aspects. It's a very strong perfume so only a bit is needed but I found this niche experience really interesting. It's maybe a bit more on the masculine side or Eastern side of perfumery, but well balanced and exotic. Recommended.

initial blast of camphor that settles into a green jammy sweet rose on top then incense then dry fermented rose petals with campfire smoke then an herbal note

First thing that sticks out is the pyramid. Masculine/feminine notes that look so intertwined that this would be a first of it's kind type of scent. Nope! It's all about the rose and citrus notes while the darker notes settle in the background and pretty much stay there. This last all day but don't blind buy it based on others reviews. It leans way more feminine than masculine also. Birch.smoke,oud,tobacco,benzoin, are light at best.

Admittedly, Im not a big fan of rose on my skin. I just do not enjoy smelling it on me. However, I can really appreciate a rose accord and enjoy smelling rose in general. Unfortunately this rose fragrance does not fall within that genre for me. This, to my nose, is a very harsh smelling rose. Almost to the point of an acrid, nose burning smell. Not a good one for me.

Loved the open, then it turned into a rubber eraser. Blech!
