Gold Rose Edition

When I fall in love with a scent, it's always strange to read the negative reviews. I can't help but think "how dare they..." haha! Then, I consider chemistry and how it's still always best to test scents out on your skin to see how they will react with your chemistry. I personally adore MK Gold Rose. I find it to be absolutely beautiful. If I were to put an emotion or a feeling to this scent, I would go with romantic. I own the original MK also and where that one reminds me of (sexy) power and tropical, exotic places, this one reminds me of a genuinely warm person and home. It's "home," in the sense of love, warmth, and nurturing comfort. It's like a gentle embrace or a soft kiss...sweet whispers. When first applied, I can for sure pick up on the gardenia and tuberose. White florals are definitely present from start to finish. After 5-10 mins, I start to really pick up on a sweet rose and the raspberry. I too get just a bit of "something" I can't quite put my "nose" on. I believe I am getting whiffs of the pink pepper and other florals but it just seems like something much more. That's it though, there is just "something" about this perfume that invokes me. To me, it seems there are more notes in the perfume than what are listed above.This scent is truly beauty in a bottle. I have yet to find a signature scent but this one would have been very close if it weren't limited edition. I feel it can be worn year-round, day or night, any occasion. It has a nice trail but it is not overpowering. I apply 1-2 sprays and that lasts on my skin 12+ hours. As with any scent, careful not to over apply.

I'm not really into florals but wow this is pretty. It's a smooth balmy beautiful thing indeed. I don't know what tuberose smells like but whatever it is it's gorgeous and smoulders like a summer night when some flowers are stronger pm. I'm not great at explaining perfumes but if you like florals and you're tired over patchouli overkill and heavy fragrances you need to test this. It's a breath of fresh air.

Lovely soft floral. Makes me feel very feminine, like a proper lady. Doesn't make me act like one unfortunately, but that's a different story. ;)

I have to test this on my skin, I only smelled it in a magazine strip but I LOVED it. The original MK I don't like because I feel similar to a lot of reviewers- that even though it is nice and tropical white flowers upon first application, after it's worn a while it starts to have a rubberized smell almost and is missing something. They did this one right to add the pink pepper; exactly what the original was missing in my opinion. Perfect for spring and Summer- definitely my next year's warm weather purchase!

A very floral fragrance, with dominant notes of rose, gardenia, and tuberose in my case. Normally I am not a fan on tuberose, but in here it works quite well. It's a nice feminine and classy fragrance. Unfortunately, I found the projection to be quite weak, and there was very little staying power.
