Rose Dunes

Oh, my, goodness. So I have been avoiding roses recently as the market feels so saturated and no new renditions have captured my attention, but this had been on my list and today I took the risk. Thank heavens I did. I sprayed it on a paper swab, as I already had fragrance on my wrist, but I was wholly mesmerised by this. It opens with a little citrus and a subtle oud which grounds it without being heavy (I don't tend to enjoy a strong oud), but seconds later, you find yourself enveloped in roses and velvet and soft florals, literally as if you are standing in a room where the flowers and fabric are wrapping around you. Rosey and powdery, sumptuous and comforting. I utterly loved it

Really really lovely scent! I get a rose/ strawberry yoghurt kind of scent, with a soft incense/leather dry down; I know a few of those notes aren't mentioned above, but its what I smell. I don't get the spiciness others mention really at all, to me its very smooth & creamy. Love love love.

What I got from my blind testing: saffron and light peppery notes. Very beautiful rose: not too sweet, not too dark. Amazing woody base that brings slightly smoky dimension to this scent. Overall, it’s a great and well-balanced rose frag. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

Just got it in the Molton Brown advent calendar and it absolutely blew my mind, and I’m not a rose fan at all! I hate almost all rose fragrances because they’re too stuffy for me, but somehow this one really charms me. I definitely want a full bottle now.

Love to wear this one during the colder seasons, and rhubarb and rose in the spring/summer. If you like this but would prefer something slightly more feminine I recommend you try rhubarb and rose or Kayali sweet diamond pink pepper
