Pink Roses

This was a late night impulse purchase and blind buy that I bought simply because it was available at a decent price. This adds nothing new to my collection of rose fragrances. It's been done a million times before, some better, some worse. It reminds me of Acqua di Parma Rosa Nobile in that they are both sharp, green roses, but I prefer the AdP because it feels fresher and dries down to a much softer and full bodied fragrance. I was expecting that at the very least it would have the legendary Mancera/Montale projection and longevity, but it fails in that aspect. On the positive side, you do get your money's worth because the bottle is huge! All in all, not a bad scent, and actually very pretty if you like your roses sharp and green, but a disappointing buy for me since it's just more of the same thing. EDIT 8/21/22 - My original complaint about longevity and projection was way off. This last all day and then some, and two spritzes, 3 if you dare, will make you noticed. It's also not quite as sharp as it seemed at first. Still not a love, but better than previous review suggested.

I bought this a while ago, blind, and it's a very nice scent.. However it's nothing unique in my opinion. It smells quite a lt like both Rosewater from Crabtree & Evelyn and Rosa Nobile from Acqua di Parma. All of them are nice, fresh rose scents, and I tend to like rose in general. I also really, really like the mixture of ambergris and rose, it agrees with my skin very well and gives the fragrance a nice crispy edge. Is it worth the money? Hmm, that's a difficult question to answer. Maybe if you really use this kinds of scents a lot, like me, but if not you might find something similar at a better price quite easily. It is also not very long lasting and stays close to the skin. If I remember correctly Rosa Nobile was a bit more potent and long lasting.

It’s very similar to jo Malone’s red roses, Jo Malone is more green, while this one I can smell a little fruit, perhaps pear, orange. But overall the scents are very similar. An Update: so it dried down and the Green notes mellowed down and more musk stepped in, now it smells like musky rose with amber. Very beautiful, the drown down is different from jo Malone. Jo Malone stays green to the end. I might prefer the mancera more, I love the rosy musky dry down.

Synthetic pink roses in synthetic grass. Not bad at all. Obvious feminine lean but a guy could pull this off if he wanted to. Smells okay. The name does the scent justice and vice versa. Doesn’t evolve much throughout the wearing besides maybe a touch of citrus. Beats Roses Greedy during the opening and mid, but pales on the dry-down which seems stale.

Straightforward realistic red rose scent but with a disturbing slight rubber note. Sillage and longevity quite bad. Disappointing.
