Rose Royale

Rose Royale lives up to its name: it's a lovely realistic giant rose blooming in a freshly-pruned garden. It reminds me of Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose in some ways. The opening is a lot to process for me. The citrus, passionfruit, and black currant come across very jammy and sweet, almost like juice concentrate. As it settles more, the notes mellow, and the rose is prominent and juicy, with something grassy and herbal behind the sweetness. This scent does go the slightest touch soapy on me, but only if I smell very closely. For the most part, it's a big watercolor rose with fresh-cut grass on my skin. I think this is an elegant, timeless fragrance that strikes a balance between classic and modern. If you love realistic rose, you will love this. The longevity is very good, and it projects moderately for me.

A very fresh dewy watery rose that is well balanced. Very natural smelling and pleasing to the senses. Sometimes roses can be too sharp , too soapy, too sweet or too green. This is a rose perfume that would suit anyone and doesnt induce any headache (im very sensitive to many fragrances). A very simple perfume which reminds me of a straight forward rose water scent, that is over priced in my opinion. Need to test this for longer to see how its longevity is, but appears to be of soft sillage.

Gorgeous rose, one of the most beautiful I've experienced in a perfume. A strong, fresh citrus is the other most prominent note but that fades as citrus often does. Given the hottest, most humid summer day, this is the perfect fragrance to reach for but honestly, I'd wear it in the winter too. It feels so elegant. If I look for some of the other notes, I can get some sandalwood, some musk, and others but they're all perfectly blended. I can't get over that lovely rose though!

On the blotter: the rose note in this is very similar to that of Guerlain’s Nahéma (2021 formula - I wonder if they may even be the same material?) This is not a sweet, dewy fresh, delicate rose. This rose is a heavy fruity diva who makes her presence very much felt. Maybe greener overall and certainly leans fresher than Nahéma, so not necessarily redundant. One to consider for fans of the Guerlain classic

Super classy rose with green and metallic undertones. A bit sharp for my nose, but definitely refreshing. I feel like it’s a dark red colored rose in a full bloom, nothing else! Follow me on IG: scent.guide
