Rosier Ardent

I love this perfume! It's warm, sensual and multi-layered. I especially like it because many perfumes just disappear on me, but not this one. So warm . . . Spicy, approachable and inviting. Better for autumn and winter than spring or summer.

I may be the only person on the planet to make this connection, but to my nose, Nez à Nez ROSIER ARDENT is quite reminiscent of Creed LOVE IN BLACK. The "official" floral notes are different in the two perfumes, but there is enough sweet powdery wood to render the flowers almost irrelevant in both cases! I am a fan of LOVE IN BLACK, so it's no surprise that I have enjoyed wearing this sample of ROSIER ARDENT. As with other perfumes from the house of Nez à Nez, I find somewhat of a disconnect between the name and my experience, but who knows, maybe my own perspective is skewed? ROSIER ARDENT does not remind me of an impassioned (inflamed?) rose bush, that's for sure! I suspect that someone looking for a rose perfume might be as disappointed with ROSIER ARDENT as those of us who have been lamenting the strange phenomenon of oudless oud perfumes! Rose? Oû ça? I do smell cardamom and wood and patchouli, and also something sweet (tonka? vanilla?). What I do not smell at all is a "rosier" = rose bush!

Perfume very good and high quality. Opens with hot resin dominating everything. And soon after the rose giving your touch more tasty sweetening this excellent fragrance. I like that very much reminds me of the same resin used in perfumes Boadicea The Victorious. Good Projection and Excellent staying power. I classify it thus: Smell: 9/10 Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 9.5/10

Incense brightened by cinnamon. I don't smell any vetiver or rose at all.If you like incense perfumes this is one you could wear to work or in warm weather. Stupid poetry is annoying.

Surprisingly, not very rosy. Most similar to the Hermessence Rose Ikebana. Lots of dry wood and incense. It's OK, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
