Wars of the Roses

I got a sample of this a couple months ago. I've been taking my time trying to smell the samples I ordered. Let me just say that this is one of my favorite companies. I love their marketing and their great prices. Also it helps when the perfumer sends you a personal note thanking you. That's a nice touch. Anyway to the perfume! This is my favorite of the samples I ordered. The reference to Tuscan Leather is there but it is different. If you can't afford Tuscan Leather or just enjoy the fragrance then please try this. This is something really special. The leather is really there but so is the rose, incense, black current, and birch tar. It's a heavenly scent. It's very deep and dark. My family doesn't like it but I love it to death! The projection is heavy but it isn't a screamer. The longevity is really where this shines. It's lasted over 24 hours on my skin. It's that good. The fact that something of this quality is only $19 blows me away. I will be buying a bottle soon. Thank you Marlen for the amazing samples. You gave me extra even when you didn't have to. So generous. 10/10 for me. Full bottle worthy in every aspect.

Described as "Rose & Leather" fragrance oil, and that is exactly what you get. This is a beautiful fragrance, and reminds me of two of my favourite scents: Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather, and Dyptique's L'Ombre dans l'Eau. It has a gorgeous warm rose smell, but it is not over powering. The leather is much more subtle, but it is there. There is also a very subtle smokiness to it as well. I'm very inexperienced, so I'm afraid I am not a very good reviewer. However, if you like a sweet leather fragrance, then I encourage you to give this a try. The nose behind this fragrance is Marlen Harrison. He has only been in the business for a couple of months after deciding to peruse his passion full time. I ordered from his Etsy shop and was delighted by Marlen's helpful and friendly nature. He is also very philanthropic and each scent is linked to a different charity...what a great idea! I really encourage you to check out King's Palace Perfumery. I for one am keen to try more of Marlen's creations. (I have no material connection with King's Palace Perfumery) Rich
