Turkish Rose Perfume Oil

Basics first--this is very strong smelling on a test strip but it dies on my skin and isn't very strong or particularly long-lasting, I'm guessing it just doesn't jive well with my skin chemistry. It still lasts well enough that I'm enjoying wearing it but I do have to put my nose right on my skin to smell it. Right now I've got Turkish Rose perfume oil on my left wrist and a spritz of my sample of Ellis Brooklyn Rrose on my right, I'll do a bit of compare-contrast. Rrose is I would say a more standard rose perfume, smells like what you'd expect, very sweet floral, a true floral-floral? A very standard "perfume" smell if that makes sense. I like it alright, it's well balanced and likes my skin. Now to contrast: Turkish Rose is a less standard rose smell, which is what I like about it, and I'll do my best to explain what I mean. I wasn't sure what I was smelling at first in addition to the rose but now that I see plum listed as one of the notes I can pick that out a bit. The rose scent itself is. Hm I'm not sure what the right words are, but almost less floral while still being a floral. Closer to having an herbal type smell than the extremely flowery true floral scent you usually expect from rose scents--but, again, it's recognizable as rose, it is floral and not herbal, just a different approach to how rose is most commonly treated? Maybe the word I'm looking for is it's more fruity actually? The closest I can get is that this smells more like a growing rose on the bush rather than the dreamlike, idealized version of rose usually used in perfume. Smells like a darker pink to me. Hope that made sense.

This smells delicious. I hate rose in general; it typically smells like cat pee on me and gets super screechy. This one lets the rose mellow out a bit; it smells like a ripe berry with rose as an afterthought. I think it's the plum in the notes that's keeping this one smelling sweet and not screechy. It's like Tresor Midnight Rose or Mugler Angel Nova without the stinky artificial smoke in both of those fragrances. This one is just clean rose, juicy and ripe plum with enough woodsiness to keep it cozy. It lasts long enough but my main gripe is its sillage is basically 2 inches. It's unfortunate because this is a perfect all-day all-weather fragrance. I love it but there are better values out there. Update: this smells so amazing I might just have to get a bottle. And this is coming from someone who HATES rose scents. It reminds me of Herbal Essences (the OG pink bottle) but in the best way--clean and green and fresh and just enough fruit/sweetness to keep it going. I also re-tested this recently and it has a very light almond/marzipan thing going on in the beginning, which is part of the allure. It smells slightly edible/delicious. Poor sillage might be fixed by layering products.

I'm not a big fan of rose scented perfumes, so when I smelled this for the first time, I was surprised of how much I loved it. It opens up with the sweet notes you get from the plum, but then the freshness from the rose comes through. The sweetness isn't overpowering; It won't leave you smelling like a teenager. It is also not super florally and mature, where you end up smelling like a grandmother. The reason I love this scent so much is because it's a floral scent that isn't accompanied with citrus or spices, just sweetest. It's simple, soft, and feminine. This combination of a fruity/sweet rose perfume is so hard to find, which leads to me why I am disappointed with Nest. There's absolutely no sillage and the longevity, quite frankly, is extremely terrible given the price. Which is appalling because 1. all my Nest perfumes projects and last all day and 2. oil perfumes are known for being strong and staying on. I'm so sad because I finally found a rose scent that I am absolutely in love with, but in order to smell it, I have to put my wrist or shirt to my nose. I really hope Nest decides to make this into a spray bottle (a girl can only dream).

So, here I was, fully prepared to have buyer’s remorse, ready to curse Sephora for getting me, yet again, with their 20% off sale. It just got delivered, and I‘d already made plans to return this at lunchtime. I’m here thinking to myself, “Seriously.... Who buys rose oil? Is this 1940? Are you okay? You don’t even like rose. ” Then I said, “Well... it’s already here.... let me just open it up and see.” (The fragrance junkie in me strikes again.) I open the box. First thing out of my mouth: “DAMN this is delicious!” This is not the typical, dated rose oil scent that everyone seems to hate and complain about. THIS baby is rose 2.0! Maybe even 3.0. It’s fresher, brighter, juicier, more inviting, and believe it or not, sexier! Quick note: The box says it includes “hints of saffron” but it’s not listed on Fragrantica’s notes profile. I think it’s the saffron that makes a huge difference in upgrading this fragrance to smell so luscious. I want it all over meeeee! Edit: Reading some of the other reviews, I think it’s safe to classify this as a rose-inspired rose for those who don’t like traditional rose. A rose for the anti-rose nose, if you will.

WOW. I love this! A warm rose that is cozy and comforting with whispers of fruit jam. I do not pick out plum unless I am actively searching for it. The faint jammy fruitiness is in the background. However note, this is not a fruit forward perfume, this is a rose perfume. BUT the whisper of sweet jam adds this unexpected element to the perfume oil that makes the rose smell so delicious, slightly sweet and warm to my nose. The rose profile itself is a beautiful and natural rose scent, not at all artificial or loud. A spa-time rose. A lot of rose-forward perfumes can lean mature, but this is so delicious smelling and modern that I could see women in their early 20s enjoying this. Of all of my rose centered perfumes this is the one that I would reach for in the colder months. Or a night time rose fragrance. Really you could wear it anytime, it is that yummy. If you are a fan of rose, this is a great one to pick up. One of my new favorites.

This is a beautiful perfume. Sweet, uplifting, fruity, jammy rose - not a ‘green’ or screechy one, like the ones that that are so common out there. It’s super feminine, smells clean and puts you in a good mood. I would even classify it as ‘regal’ smelling. I put a small drop of oil on my wrist and was surprised how much sillage it had - I nearly had to lower my car windows because it smelled so much! It’s my first experience with perfume oils and I’m truly impressed by the strength and longevity. Also love that it doesn’t have the harsh chemicals that many other perfumes have (like phthalates). For those that say it shares similarities with PDM’s Delina (which I used to own), I definitely see a resemblance - it just doesn’t have the tart/sour notes. It would work beautifully as a base layer for that one. Excited to wear this over the cold winter months - it’ll be the bright part of my day.

This has been my go-to perfume recently. As a Turk, I was of course initially drawn to the title of "Turkish Rose" but this perfume genuinely makes me feel like I'm starring in a Turkan Soray film. There's something super nostalgic about it which reminds me of my childhood memories in Turkiye. I love rose scents but they're very hard to get right--they either feel too clean or artificial or too old, but this strikes a perfect balance between fresh, wearable, and cozy without any of those negative associations. I couldn't stop smelling my wrists once I put it on. It has very intimate sillage but it lasts for very long, making up for it. It's amazing to layer with other perfumes and I'm keen to try layering it with some more peppery ones in my collection.

As someone else stated my Scent Memory with Rose is Old Lady Vibes; and for the Longest I’ve stayed away from Floral Scents because of that “Old Dated” vibe a lot of them give off. But I’ve been expanding my Horizons & Collection and decided to get this Scent in a Travel Size. Which is what I do now before committing to a full size bottle and OMG is it good! I purchased Delina PDM a few Months ago and was blown away by it because again I don’t like Rose but this maybe a bit better IMO it’s a Sweet Woodys Rose. I really really like this one! I do plan on Mixing it with Delina that’s why I got it but I got confirmation from below that it’ll be wonderful. Definitely worth a Sniff!

This is my favorite out of the perfume oil collection. The plum and rose play well together from the start. The white woods are chillin in the background, grounding the other notes so they don’t float away. It’s a simple, linear scent, and all of these oils are skin scents in my experience, but this one just smells so playfully romantic. I am generally a fan of rose scents, and this is no exception. I would buy a full sized bottle of this if it were deeply discounted, as these notes are 100% up my alley, and oils are great when you don’t want to choke someone out with alcohol-based sprays. 😇

i'm typically someone who wears sweet gourmands, but lately i have been interested in venturing into the world of roses after falling in love with the candied rose dry-down of burberry her edt. i needed to find something that similar! in my search, many popular rose perfumes i tried (pdm's delina, jo malone's red roses) have made my head hurt. my search led me to this, and it's safe to say that it ends here. this smells SO much like the dry-down of burberry her edt! the plum in this is so so pretty, and it feels so luxurious to use... although it's very expensive, a little goes a long way.

Is it overpriced? Yes. Will I buy it anyways? Also yes. I'm not normally a rose fan because I feel most rose perfumes smell powdery and dated and stuffy. This is not that. This is super fruity and bright and fresh, like if you plucked a rose straight from a garden that has a bunch of ripe fruit hanging off the tree above them. I think this is a perfect modern rose smell and I've worn it like 4 days in a row now. I think I'll likely try layering it with other things as well, I tend to lean towards super fresh green scents and I think this would be a great base for some of those.

man was this a love at first sniff for me. got a sample from sephora with an order some time ago and my next order (within a week later) included a full bottle of this absolutely gorgeous oil. i just tested it again and one drop covered my whole knee (other frags on my arms lol) so a little goes a loooong way. this is not an overpowering rose imo so i think it's perfect for layering with mist/spray perfumes as a base for some extra oomph. the plum and woods balance everything out perfectly and this baby has staying power, especially on clothes and hair. big chef's kiss.

I’ve been enjoying the sweeter side of rose, lately. Turkish Rose does a great job of satisfying this craving. I want to layer this with Delina on top. As bpurs001 stated, it does have something within it that reminds me of br540 or cloud that’s only apparent in the drydown. Not in any way are they similar fragrances, it’s just a ‘molecule’ or something... That doesn’t bother me, but I believe it lends to the staying power. Anyway, I want this all over. I am loving it!

i love! i got recommended this scent and i thought it was going to smell like rose essential oil or straight up a rosebud. it actually smells like a gentle fruity rose. i was surprised to see that the fruit is plum, it wasn’t abrasive and i wasn’t able to read it, i just got a sweet fruity fragrance from it. easy to wear, it’s very soft. i really love how delicate it is, but i wish it lasted longer. especially for a fragrance oil 4 hours was not enough wear time...

I loveeee this oil!! I got it from the discovery set and I’m so obsessed with it. It’s lasted me such a long time so far, too. This is very sweet for a rose, but not in a gourmand sort of way. To me, the plum smells more like lychee. In my opinion, it’s very similar to the Nest perfume lychee rose, which is lighter and sweeter than this one. This will get you compliments even from people who say they don’t like rose. Very pretty

Ok, like the reviewer below, I ordered this because of the great reviews but fully expected to return it because I am NOT a fan of rose. However, I was looking for perfume oils for layering and decided to give this one a shot. Well, this is not your grandma’s rose. It’s soft, sweet, and youthful. I can’t wait to layer this with some of the perfumes in my collection like Sol de Janiero 40 and Ellis Brooklyn Myth.

I bought this in early 2021 and it's still my go to. Turkish Rose is not a traditional rose smell and is more fruity, I usually wear floral gourmand or gourmand so I was surprised I'd like a more floral fragrance. When I picked it up in the store, I instantly fell in love with it. A lot of times floral fragrances are too sweet or too musky for my liking.

Juicy plum rose with a warm woody base. I'm learning that I actually do like rose scents, so long as they are high quality and bolstered by warm woodiness. There's so much about this I don't typically like - plum opening, ultra feminine rose, candy sweetness - but for some reason I love this. A great flirty option for a date on a hot summer evening.

I only ever had the tiny vial from the discovery set but I loved it so much I made it last as long as I could. The most unique rose I've ever smelled, the plum comes out more jammy than floral. A lot of people have said this is more of a daytime scent but being completely honest this was my sex perfume lol. Would repurchase.

Beautiful scent. I fell in love with it right away. Used it for about two months but noticed it’s not long lasting. Maximum 2-3 hours and I won’t smell anything. Then slowly I started getting tired of the scent and the fact that I need to reapply so often. Also, it’s too expensive for an oil that barely lasts 2 hours.
