Arabian Rose

So happy to see these in the database now!! Arabian Rose is one of the most gorgeous Rose fragrances EVER! It's a tiny bit of heaven in a $10 little bottle. So rich and Royal, I feel like a beautiful queen whenever I wear it! It smells like a beautiful red rose garden that's deep in color and exquisite beauty. It's a lot on the sexy side, very demure. What a little gem Kuumba Made Oils are...I'm sure every one smells deep, rich and alluring as this one. My next one to try is the myrhh and frankincense blend. Can't wait to try all these tiny treasures! (A little goes a LOOOOOONG way - this bottle will last forever; what a great value bonus!)

Rose incense. Arabian Rose is not a true to life rose soliflore. Instead it’s slightly soapy and powdery, but not like an old fashioned soap... more like incense that hasn’t been burned yet. Lovely and long lasting.

I use this oil as a base to layer other fragrance that needs more more rose. A bit uncomplicated by itself

What a captivating, symphonic rose. Arabian Rose is dewy, fresh, and green at first gust. Touches of zesty citrus, triple milled soap, potpourri powder, and most interestingly, a peppery spiciness. Deeply herbaceous, vegetal, with the stems and leaves intact; bright, dense, lush, rounded, smooth, vibrant, it's like huffing liquidized rose particulate. None of the dreaded sour vinegar off notes to be found, but it does have a touch of life-like "artichoke", if you consider it a detriment. As it develops, it takes on a darkness, the base reveals bitter, tannic, rooty, somewhat medicinal facets. I agree with the other comments, trace olibanum. If Tea Rose smells too much like a perfume to you, try this. To my nose it almost smells like a botanical rose/incense oil blend, but it's clearly a perfumed composition. An exceedingly gorgeous, clever one. I'm going to have to disagree with the comments saying it lacks complexity. It takes a lot of skill and effort to craft something that smells so deceptively simple. I'm thoroughly impressed, I can't wait to try more from Kuumba Made.

Really beautiful for the first hour, I mean seriously beautiful. It’s the closest to the Arabian cheapie Attar Rose by Ahsan. But after the first hour, the pretty pink rose softens to be an aquatic, peppery and musky scent where roses isn’t the dominant note. Then it fades, so longevity isn’t great. My favourite affordable rose oil is still Ahsan’s Attar Rose (and Orientica’s Rose Bouquet is worth a mention), and my favourite luxury rose oil is Arabian Oud’s Musk Motassalik - both very similar to this Kuumba Arabian Rose but even better.
