Identity Rose & Leather

The reviews are all true! It's like sticking your face in a rosebush! Every time I wear it I think of Morticia "trimming" her roses in the Addams Family. It's a very unique smell and I'm glad to own it

As a long time FM wearer, I was curious about this line. Absolutely love “the moon” so I thought I’d give this a try. Right out of the gate I don’t think it’s terrible. A hit of pepper very quickly to a very fresh rose for me. This did not read synthetic at all smells very natural. I am a grower of roses, so I know of what I speak. Dry down to a geranium with a little rose, does not wear green at all on me. The leather is so subtle that it reminds me of the inside of one of my best leather handbags. Hint, They always smell like fragrance. I got nothing indolic from this. Certainly not BO. Like “the moon”, I find this to be surprisingly well blended. Perhaps mine has been sitting for a while. I can’t wait to see what it’s like now that it’s been opened and started oxidizing. It’s really nice to have a rose that’s not very fruity floral musky. I have plenty of those, and I love them. For me this may be a gateway drug to the real deal. But I’ll be honest it’ll take a lot for me to spend the kind of money on FM anymore. Their fragrance price rise has just been ridiculous. Maybe not a safe blind buy but blind buying anything is risky I think I like this one.

Imagine walking into freshly cut garden of roses. That's how it smells. The rose is pretty much in the background in opening. It opens up with sharp green-grassy note. As it dries down, the rose become more prominent. The leather in here is very subtle. Almost unnoticeable. This is a strong perfume I must say. It stays for entire day on my skin and for 2 days on clothes. Projection and silage are also nuclear.

Stemmy, fetishy, veeeery Morticia Addams - Anjelica Houston version. Quite bitter and leafy, with pronounced leather, geranium and slightly acidic blackcurrant notes, the rose as a flower is more in the background. It isn't very sweet, but definitely very sensual and mature.

In this fragrance is missing the fresh cut rose note like in FM Rose&Cuir.
