Tea Rose

TRY OUTSTANDING ROSE NOTES ON A BUDGET! The rose is a true queen among all flowers being beautiful, majestic and very fragrant. Consequently, its fragrance must also be royal blood material. The olfactory note of the rose can lean towards a more masculine or more feminine facet and generally evokes oriental ambiences. I quite like the rose scent but I am by no means an unconditional fanatic of it, by accepting every perfume whiff with the rose tag on it. I am particularly picky about the different nuances that we can find in rose scents that may arrive with many different names like Centifolia, Alba, Tea, English, Bulgarian, Moroccan, Turkish, Damask, Taif... and others that I don't remember now. I am also a bit choosy about the notes that can be combined with this floral scent. I usually don't enjoy other flowers mixed with the rose note, and I dislike the sweet rose/jasmine blending in particular. My defences come down completely when a strong taif rose note is combined with woods like agarwood, sandalwood and ebony, or with resins like olibanum and myrrh. All rose/wood accords are powerful, seductive and mysterious. An intense rose scent is heavily used in many well-known, appreciated and very usually expensive top-end perfumes. The rose note is clearly dominant in fragrances such as: Noir De Noir by Tom Ford, Rose d'Arabie by Armani Privé, Les Sables Roses by Louis Vuitton, Une Rose de Kandahar by Tauer Perfumes, Atomic Rose by Initio, Perfume Calligraphy Rose by Aramis, Oud Silk Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle, Lyric Man by Amouage, La fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens, Roses de Chloé by Chloé, Velvet Rose & Oud by Jo Malone, J'adore by Christian Dior, Rose Noir by Byredo, Ardent by Boadicea the Victorious... ... and many others. All these fantastic perfumes have a common feature besides the high seduction they exert on perfume buyers. Their high prices and habitual unwillingness to integrate in-store promotions, seasonal sales and Black Friday advertising. THE BUDGET ROSE MUSKETEER There is a near-pungent rose perfume, actually using three types of rose essential oil, from an almost unknown brand. I refer to Tea Rose by Perfumer's Workshop. This fragrance presents us with a gigantic heart of Damask, Tea and Bulgarian rose. The other supporting notes are completely secondary and go rather unnoticed. If other perfumes contain rose essential oils mixed with supporting notes, this perfume fools us and seems to be composed only of rose essences and in very high concentration. It delivers the most intense and realistic natural rose aroma I have probably ever experienced in any perfume. It is simply a rose bomb, a wonderfully antique scent, a divine fresh rose that feels classy and retro. Plus, it's wearable all year round. Anyone who loves the scent of roses cannot go without this perfume in his or her wardrobe. If you don't like a rose scent, don't even try it because you will hate this fresh, natural and green bottled rose. Its longevity exceeds 8 hours and its sillage is close to two metres. The price? I bought my first 100ml bottle last month for €16. I hope you enjoyed my suggestion. If you are tired of smelling natural roses for a high price, now you can start doing it on a budget.

This is no fanciful suggestion - this is truly Tea Rose! I will be the first to admit I am an incorrigible rose lover and have been on the prowl for roses that speak volumes to me. I don't want perfumers' abstractions, I don't want it buried under mounds of patchouli or praline or raspberry - just give me one deft soliflore! I'm telling you, if you love roses as I do, this one belongs on your shelf, if only for the price alone. All talk of budget fragrance aside, this one is absolutely glorious. Upon a blind purchase of Tea Rose several months ago, at first spray, I completely overdid it in my excitement. Every review on here was true! I could smell the glorious, rich red and white and pink and yellow petals wafting out of the bottle and I just sprayed the unholy heck out of it onto my wrists. Of course, I was accosted by a green and overwhelming cloud of thorns and leaves and rosewater that not only scented my skin, but my entire bedroom for about a day and a half! Make no mistake, for an EDT this has MONSTROUS sillage and staying power. In fact, I shocked myself so badly I had to take about a month off of this divine fragrance to decide if I had made a terrible mistake and reflect on my questionable spraying choices. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa. And then, the summer heat hit and I was positively wilting, as one tends to do, and desperately searched my shelf for a pick me up. Glow? Not today. Eternity? Wouldn't cut it. Tea Rose? What the heck! Give it a go! And let me tell you, this is THE rose perfume for summer. That thorny blast I had irresponsibly brought upon myself was nowhere to be found, once I wised up and spritzed delicately in the crook of my elbows and dabbed on my wrists. The sillage was still significant at 4-6 inches, and the staying power upwards of 8 hours, but much more tolerable in judicious amounts. It blossoms and blooms in heat, walking around leaves a trail of delicate petals behind you. Rose, and rose, and rose. Thorn and leaf and stem create the beautiful framework for the flower at the heart. Out of the drydown I detect a really pretty, gentle beeswax note that slowly descends into skin musk, as if you had rubbed the rose petals directly into your skin. It's vegetal and sexy, two words that honestly I'm not sure should be in the same sentence but look at it this way - it's as if you'd been rolling around damp earth covered in petals with your lover. Looking over the other notes fellow Fragranticans have detected, I have to say I sense no white floral or sandalwood presence, but that may be a matter of my skin chemistry alone. This is a green rose soliflore one hundred percent on me, for as long as it lasts, and it does last. In closing, learn from my mistakes, never overspray any enchanted juice that speaks in glorious subtleties, and you will be transported into the most paradisiacal lush rose garden for like, $10 a bottle. Come on. Rose lovers, you already know what to do.

I've been looking for ages for what I define as "perfect rose". I found a used bottled of this for only 7€ (in my country it costs around 15€) so I decided it could make a good blind buy. And it was the BEST value I've ever gotten for such little money. It opens up as a classic geranium rose. Even though the geranium isn't listed, I think it's the citrus notes to give it a "geranium-rose" appearance. A few minutes after spraying it develops a weird, slightly acidic metallic note which reminds me of blood for some reason? (EDIT: I found out that it's probably rose oxide) At first I found that off-putting, but as someone who loves dark things, I've grown to like it. It feels like a jammy yet not sweet rose. Almost earthy and very damp. Sillage is really good, I like to spray it on my back and let it dry before I let my hair down. My hair keeps smelling like roses for like 48h. Projection isn't as good as some people described, but it might as well be me using too many rose scents and going nose blind. Many people said it's photorealistic rose, but I don't feel like it is. There's much more to it, at least on an emotional level. Someone on these reviews said that it reminded them of catholicism, and that is a spot on observation: it smells exactly like the rose scent that is used for rosary crowns and sacred scented oils. It smells flowery and opulent but in a damp, cold way which also makes it smell like funeral flowers. It's a fresh rose, but it can have a dark, churchy aura to some, which is personally my favorite part about it. I've gotten my bottle 4 days ago and I've already used 1/4 bottle, it's truly addictive. I've worn it this last weekend, bringing my bottle with me cause I just couldn't stay without it. At some point I sprayed it on, and some guy told me something like: "How gross. You smell like my grandma" I took it as a compliment, cause "smelling like grandma" is what unimaginative, Sauvage-wearing people will always say when confronted with scents that don't follow the trends. It's something too purely beautiful to be loved by everyone. It exists just to delight the person wearing it, and for that reason, I think it's going to be my signature. Edit: after some time wearing it, I've gotten to love and love its metallic quality. Why does no one mention how metallic it is? It feels damp and bloody. It sometimes revolts me how much it smells like blood, yet I cannot stop spraying it on. A few months ago I really really liked it, but now I'm actually fully obsessed with it. It's a vintage, gentle rose, hiding a bloody and metallic nature. I didn't think such a cheap and simple perfume could evoke so much.

THE ROMANCE OF THE ROSE Visually the rose has always been one of my most appreciated flowers. Its beauty is accompanied by a majesty that impresses and, at the same time, offers us a richness of detail and vivid colours that attract and hook us. The perfume is quite fragrant and singular. Despite its feminine floral aura, for me, the rose note is perfectly unisex. Different roses have a wide range of complicated smells, from floral and tea aromas to spicy, fruity, and musky scents. Despite its delicate appearance, it is by no means harmless as it defends itself very well with its sharp thorns. The plant as a whole is usually quite resilient. Tea roses in particular were originally from China and were named Hybrid Tea because the fragrance of the plants reminded people of l of tea brewing smell. Tea roses are usually white and often grow much taller than shrub roses, producing a larger bloom as well. [short review] "Tea Rose" is a very linear fragrance made with immaculate tea roses, very red Bulgarian roses, and pink Damascene roses, surely all very carefully chosen. The perfume has a dewy rose bouquet that is quite intense and attention-grabbing. The flowers feel freshly picked and flood us with their olfactory pungency. It has slight nuances of herbal tea, more precisely chamomile tea or perhaps melissa in my opinion. My wife's opinion is that this perfume recalls facets of green tea. I consider this perfume to bear similarities to the intense rose scent of some niche perfumes released more recently. Don't expect from it, neither a very sweet profile or a resinous and amber base. Here we find essentially a spicy and warm floral continuous scent, rounded off at the base with a light green and woody aroma. It is really very pleasant! For its quality and price, it turns out to be an almost unbeatable perfume for a genuine lover of the rose note. Its performance is above average, with a longevity of more than 10 hours and an acceptable projection and sillage. It was released almost 60 years ago but still has an enviable performance. It is usually priced between 16 and 25 Euros on the web and is even easy to find. My opinion: Normally a rose perfume is associated either with other flowers, with noble woods, or even with resinous hearts and bases. This perfume gives us a clean scent of rose (or roses) without great distractions around it. The near absence of other flowers makes it not too feminine and makes it appealing to both genders. The price is very attractive. Rose scent deep lovers have a justifiable blind purchase justification. Music: "The Rose" by Bette Midler

I really wonder if certain people here have smelled real flowers, or at least fresh cut. Granted everyone has a different nose and different skin, but I find this rose so palpably vivid, that I can't rightly imagine anyone not getting much rose from it, unless their reception of the experience was either overly informed by their emotional mood at the time or just a general ignorance of what a thing smells like apart from other fragrances that present it as a prominent note. This is a freshly misted florist's cooler full of roses in their cellphone cones. If the discontinued Paul Smith Rose is a walk under a garden arbor, pregnant with blossomed climbing roses after a summer rain, Tea Rose is a trip to the florist. Remarkably abundant and fresh. Practically tactile. Not just for its price, but period. Beautiful on its own, building depth as time passes, like a good soliflore ought, making up for an absence (not lack) of complexity with an entirely separate sort of dry down evolution. As many have already said, however, this is an incredible layering scent. I'm currently trying to find the right layering ratio to Approximate Aramis 900 as potently as possible, by layering it with regular Aramis. I'm 90% there. It's difficult to keep the strong-for-an-EDT Tea Rose from overpowering the very squarely cologne-strength Aramis which, while strong, is hardly an endurance athlete in current formulations. Regardless of how the dry down are going, the initial wear of every attempt is smelling a million times more like 900 than its swarthy sister, Aromatics Elixir. I'm also messing around with Tea Rose with Moschino Toy Boy, Montana Graphite, and Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme to reproduce some sort of a-la-minute layer dupe of Paul Smith Rose. It seems to be a fantastic contender for recreating discontinued rose masterpieces, provided the user has a partner fragrance with the right profile. I should have bought a gallon. I'm so in love, I'm straight-up simping. Thank goodness she's not a gold digger.

I can't discuss Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose without pretty much paying a tribute to the inimitable Katie Puckrik, whose YouTube channel was instrumental in my burgeoning enthusiasm for fragrance over fifteen years ago. It was through of her grace, charm, and repartee that I acquired an appreciation for such greats as Clinique Aromatics Elixir, Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant, Frederic Malle Dans Tes Bras, Keiko Mecheri Oliban—the list goes on. I recall her video where she showcases her collection and chats about the enduring classic that is Tea Rose. She shares memories of her friend Desirée, the coolest girl in her high school, who looked like Cleopatra and wore white lipstick. Katie and Desirée would bring their thermoses filled with coffee to school, something that immediately resonated with me as I myself was an adolescent beatnik coffee drinker and clove cigarette smoker. Desirée wore Tea Rose, a crisp and watery rose that first seems an uncomplicated soliflore, but beyond the freshness and vigor lies a shocking complexity. This is especially impressive given that a 100ml bottle can be had for around $16 US. I pick up the stems and the leaves beyond the blooms, and the feel is dewy and unadorned. How on earth can an ostensibly cheap formula yield what feels like a three-dimensional rose? It manages to seem both delicate and potent, carrying its garden-like vivacity for a good several hours. I regard it as a must-smell for rose lovers and one may be floored that it surpasses many rose-forward scents released in recent years that are more than ten times its price. I would caution, however, on going heavy on the trigger—this one favors a light hand for it to be best appreciated.

This is the most amazing rose fragrance you will ever buy. Period. First of all, I have no idea what all those other notes are doing up there... Bergamot? Sandalwood? Cedar? What drugs were they ON? This fragrance is a completely linear ROSE. It won't ever be woody, musky, citrusy, or anything else. It's very possibly the most potent rose you will ever smell, and no matter how long you wear it, it will never become anything on your skin except more ROSE. Did I mention POTENT??? This is the original "BEAST MODE" rose. A friend of mine applied three sprays before she and I went out for the day. We left the house at 7am... and at 11am, 4 hours later, I could STILL walk in her sillage when she was 30 feet away! Her wake was so thick with rose, it was practically visible as pink petals falling everywhere she walked. And there I was, with my Frederick Malle wussing out on me. Finally -- as other reviewers have mentioned again and again and AGAIN... This powerhouse rose fragrance is dirt cheap. I buy mine on Amazon, where it's currently priced at $10 for 4 ounces (120ml) with two-day delivery. (That's $80 per QUART!) And because it's so potent, that 4 ounce bottle can last a really long time. Tea Rose is so incredibly inexpensive that you can use it alone, as a soliflore; to layer with other scents as an added rose note; to scent your sheets, linens, bath, or even your entire home. It's the biggest bang for the buck I've ever found in the world of fragrance. If you find a better deal out there, I'd sure like to know about it! So go ahead, blind buy it! For less than the price of a couple pounds of butter, you can have roses, roses, roses, ROSES!!! ;-D

I wore this one when I was in high school. I came across it again and re-purchased it at a great price. Back in my day, there was also a hair care line called Salon Selectives. The hairspray from this line smelled like straight Granny Smith apples, and I loved it. In high school, my signature combination scent was the Tea Rose and the Salon Selectives: Roses and apples. The Proust Effect... The extraordinary ability that scent has to trigger memories. The days of long ago when I could eat a piece of chocolate cake and not gain 5 pounds. When I didn't have to worry about any bills. Ditching school, and going to the beach with my friends, flipping through fashion magazines, going to the mall, being able to spend all of the money I earned from my part-time job on clothes and makeup. A time wherein my largest concern was what I was going to wear to school the next day. Wonderful memories and smelling Tea Rose again brings it all back. One fragrance can indeed trigger memories, and Tea Rose does this for me. There's something to be said for a fragrance that has been around as long as Tea Rose has. I have found that most people that like rose scents are very particular, and some prefer a more modern rose scent. Tea Rose is a big leafy type of rose scent. I liken it to fresh-cut roses in a big beautiful vase, and when you deeply inhale you get the rose and some of the green element. The Brazillian Rosewood enhances the rose and the amber gives it a bit of warmth. Make no mistake, this is not a subtle rose scent. This is an in-your-face rose scent. I still love Tea Rose... It makes me smile.

I've been collecting perfume for around 7 years and I have been on a quest to find the perfect Rose. I have been through just about everything and they are either 1: too busy, 2:fruity,or 3 : just bad. Finally I got this one having passed over it because of the price thinking it would be a chemical mess that belongs in a bargain bucket at a thrift store but I couldn't have been more wrong! This is God level rose with performance to match. This is not grandma rose, jammy rose or potpourri, this is fresh roses on the bush, thorns, stems and dew. Perfectly unisex and trust me you will have people walking around with a puzzled look as they look for a rose bush. I couldn't be more in ecstasy as I am right now and my interest is piqued to the point that I might have to buy the EDP although I can't find any reviews on Youtube so I'm a bit hesitant. This in my opinion is the perfect summer fragrance, it has a massive sillage, and lasted 12h + on my skin. I could smell it in my bedroom the following day. It has no bloody lychee or raspberry to ruin it and no oud, patchouli or sandalwood to drag it down. Some people might find it too strong and I've seen some comments about spraying it and walking into the mist - why? I overspray most things and I'm getting the best performance on my skin from 4 sprays around my neck and 4 sprays on each arm top and bottom. I will be eternally grateful to Perfumer's Workshop for making a wish come true. And I will always have a bottle of this in my collection. 🇬🇧💜🙏🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹

Beautiful and affordable rose perfume for the rose fans. Available at any drugstore that sells fragrances like CVS or Walgreens. Tea Rose starts with a citrus kick via the bergamot orange. Then it gets into an apple scent which is rarely if ever discussed by the reviewers here. Totally a green granny smith apple scent. It does not contain such a note but it could be the citrus-into-rose floral scent with the green note that comes with the rose. This is an herbal scent, an earthy, green cabbage rose. The stem and the leaves are very much a part of the fragrance. It climaxes with the rose bloom and petals and the familiar rose scent but it is by that time in the dry down a dry rose not fresh rose. Smells like rose petals pressed in the pages of an antique book. The rose and the wood notes give it a very 'antique' scent. This is vintage and classy, with huge lasting power. Lasts all day. The sillage is a bomb and can be smelt by anyone a mile away! It's only rose and not complex. Really only rose and green notes with some slight wood. This is a fragrance to wear any time of th year but smells so beautiful on the skin or clothes in the fall/autumn time or winter. In summer if oversprayed it's a beast. Elegant and casual. Unisex. Men can wear this too because it's just a very dark green earthy rose with wood. Today many men's colognes offer rose notes anyways so it's become common to have men's fragrances with some rose on them. One of the most popular and beloved rose perfumes in the world.

Rose Classic... This is a must try for rose lovers. Although I was initially struck by a vintage vibe, this plays out to be a very hyper-realistic/photo-realistic rose. It could be that it reads vintage to me because it's so realistic and I myself am becoming vintage. I've smelt this before: a dozen roses from my father to my mother in a vase on the dining table, my grandmother's handcream, roses wrapped in paper from a special someone... Opens with a burst of rose with citrus and green nuances and develops powdery, velvety, peppery, fresh and soapy facets, resting on a soft cedar-sandalwood base that becomes root-y & earthy as it dries down. In the drydown, the rose expands taking on an airy & velvety quality. Overall: Beautiful vintage leaning, realistic rose scent with well above average performance, this is the perfect scent to wear time travelling. It's a love for me. 10/10 for a realistic rose. Enjoy! Contrast to Tea Rose EDP Perfumers' Workshop: The EDP version smells very similar to Tea Rose, but side by side, you can tell there's a Taif rose in the EDP, taking on more of a whipped-velvety quality compared with the more powdery-velvety EDT version. Performance is excellent in both. Update 03/26/25: Sprayed this on this morning and noticed it's gotten a lot sweeter and less powdery-vintage. Not quite jammy, but the rose has taken on an additional syrup-y quality but still has the green-leaning freshness as well. I enjoy this even more, every time I wear it. Still a love.

What do Nicole Kidman, Princess Diana, and Princess Grace of Monaco share? Their obsession with Tea Rose! This vintage gem hasn’t changed formula since the 70’s. Tbh, that fact both impressed and intimidated me, because A) Many vintage scents give “elderly” imho, and B) How good can a perfume be without ISO E, ambroxan, and all the modern chemicals that give fragrances depth and longevity? Riiiiight? WRONG! This little gem is a photorealistic POWERHOUSE. The eau de toilette’s longevity literally outperforms my Montales. There’s zero guilt in turning up the volume on silage with more sprays, because TR’s price = a drug store body spray. That’s it, from now on I live in an eternal rosebush. She’s juuuust woody and green enough to be 3D ALIVE, but not at all oudy or vegetal. All my linens, furniture, hair serums, will be drenched in THIS! She’s genuine. She’s Stronnng. Unexpected Win: since there’s no ambroxan or cetalox, you’re less likely to go nose-blind than, say, BR540 and JHAG. Bonus points for a perfume YOU can smell on yourself all day! The Experience: crushing a handful of dewy red petals to your nose, super early in the morning, and not even needing coffee. It’s rolling around on a bed of roses until they’re all mashed up in your hair, but you love it and you just don’t care. If “gardening” was a spotlessly clean fantasy fragrance, it would be this. There’s a reason LITERAL PRINCESSES call this a favorite. Tea Rose is the Real Thing.

Tea Rose is the cheapest perfume, but the best Rose perfume in my collection. Red Roses in the rain, oh I loveeee it! I like fresh and pure Roses, so Tea Rose is the Queen of Roses in my heart. It's unbelievable that this wonderful perfume was released in 1977. I bought it today, and as soon as I unsealed it, I could smell the fragrant scent right out of the box. I was overwhelmed by this super realistic Rose scent, something I always look for in perfumes these days. A lot of Rose perfumes today don't have a natural Rose scent like this one, losing the characteristics of the Rose. When I tried spraying it, a whole garden of Red Roses appeared before my eyes, like I was actually placing my face in a Rose bush and enjoying its fragrance. It's very realistic... with green leaves, sharp thorns and even wet dew drops on the petals. But this is a scent that brings out classic Vibes, not modern Roses. It reminds me of the Red Rose gardens in the mist and rain in England in ancient castles, so romantic. I think anyone who loves Roses should try this scent once in their life, wear it and you will turn into a girl lost in the endless Rose garden. The scent is very classic and natural, suitable for a romantic candlelit dinner with wine and Red Roses. I also often wear Tea Rose on rainy days, sipping a cup of tea and watching the rain fall outside the door. Rating: 100+/10, I love Tea Rose so much that I bought a spare bottle

Beautiful! A freshly cut tea rose set in a vase. The fragrant petals, the bright green stem, and the water in the vase combine into an intoxicating scent. I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t love this fragrance. It’s a timeless soliflore (single floral perfume) that evokes a natural and photorealistic image. Not only that, it performs like a beast! It’s an edt that performs better than many a newer edp. In fact, there’s an edp of this, and that honestly scares me. In modern times, rose scents have a feminine and antiquated reputation, so much so that they’re often described as “grandma-ish.” But Tea Rose is none of these things. Fellas, give this a sniff! Anecdotally this perfume is very popular with Indian and Middle Eastern men, and I can see why! This is not a sentimental, dusty rose. This is thorns, this is dew, this is the flower of love! Seriously, this is $12 online in spring 2023, and this 4 oz bottle is going to last me many more springs. So many powerhouse scents have been nerfed over the decades, and while I haven’t smelled an old bottle of this, I can say that the longevity and silage of Tea Rose are what I remember from perfumes of the past. This is an uncompromising classic, and I hope its formula and affordability never change.

It will probably take you less than a minute of checking my profile to discover that I’m huge white floral fan and fanatic. However this rose scent🌹 completely swept me by the feet. Roses are my favorite flowers by looks and I love how a real rose smells, but in perfumery they are commonly made in overbearing combinations with either syrupy sweet or heavily oudy or chypre concoctions. To me roses have a complex and beautiful smell on their own with nuances of floral, fruity, sweet, fresh and woodsy all built in naturally, and any other notes added just make it overwhelming to my nose. Not that I don’t enjoy such perfumes and wear them, of course I do, but I much prefer rose as a solinote if done right. Somehow TPWS managed to do the perfect naturalistic rose with cheap synthetic ingredients and a humble flacon but a great performance. Now that’s a successful workshop! Smelling TR is like burying your face in a rose bush full of huge numbers of red and pink roses in all stages, from young fresh closed blossoms to deep red large sweet ones in full bloom. You smell the green leaves, the woodsy thorny stems and the wet soil underneath. It is the whole experience and a rose heaven to me 🌹❤️

This is dreamy. A natural smelling, wet, garden fresh Bulgarian & Taif rose bouquet, concentrated × 10. Simply lovely. I picture a beautiful Tzigan woman, with long black hair, red lips, and kohl smudged sparkling honey eyes. She's draped in gold coins and scarves, dancing in her flowing skirts and velvet bolero; a giant red rose tucked behind her ear, OWNing this fragrance. I cannot wait to experiment with this bold, pure rose smell -- layering it with my favorite vanilla fragrances, and/or patchouli essential oil. Fire at Will and Tea Rose together will be so pretty 😍. Such a great value for such a beautiful and versatile fragrance! Coming back to say this fra is nuclear ☢️. I layered 1 spray of Tea Rose over 4 sprays of the ambery cherry beauty, Not Another Cherry, at 6 a.m this morning on my bare chest. By lunch time, NAC had faded out, but I could still very much smell rose. So at 1 p.m. I layered 2 sprays of Vanilla Sex over the remaining Tea Rose (which is a pretty combination fyi). Finally, arriving home at 6 p.m., VS was mostly gone but Tea Rose was still noticeable! This was one spray -- 12 hours, all day. Unbelievable!

Stepping into a flower shop and close to the rose cooler. Ripe rose, green stem & all. Everyone seems to get a certain color of rose. And I get it, lots of rose fragrances make me think like that. Like Delina is definitely a soft baby pink rose. This one IDK yet.....I guess I picture a white with yellow tipped tea rose. It doesn't seem as strong as others have proclaimed but it's staying decent for a toilette. I will say I think I will like this better in cooler weather. I definitely see the dewy aspect coming out more then. Nice affordable simple scent. Should do very nicely for layering. :) Also wanted to post the legit notes(straight from The Perfumer's Workshop website for this scent, the edt): TOP: Peony, Chamomile MID: Tea Rose, Damask Rose, Bulgarian Rose DRY: Geranium Leaves, Violet Leaves, Cedarwood Edited: Update....Okay, maybe people weren't exaggerating about it's strength. In less than a weeks time since its first spray it's already doubled in potency it feels. Can't imagine how much stronger it might get as it sits much longer and ages over time. 9/10 rating

This is something truly wonderful. I will say, you have to like the smell of roses cause that's all you're getting with this. It's enormous, it's loud, if you like a pure rose smell that's in say shampoo or air freshener, this is that. It smells like pure rose essential oil. I got this when I was sick and couldn't smell anything and I could smell this plainly. It lasts forever on fabric, and about 8 to 12 hours on skin. It stays linear on fabric, dries down to something woody and musky on the skin. It's an excellent blind buy for true rose lovers, not so much if you're picky. Oh and just a warning, don't over spray lest you give yourself or other people headaches, it's a bomb. Edit: I don't see how girls back in the day doused themselves in this. I gave it a good wear today and I just did 2 sprays and I felt like I was filling a room wherever I went. One thing I will say about it though. It is good to layer with. I added some Demeter Honey to this and put on sweet pea and violet deodorant and it smelled like a banana bubble bath to me.

So, at this price level, you shouldn't expect a high-quality atomizer, I'm pointing that out right now. The bottle looks elegant, but the atomizer is a tragedy, but.. A lot of music for little money. In my opinion this is the most authentic red rose I've ever smelled.. I also have Paul Smith Rose it's a beautiful fresh tea rose but this is a rose bomb! It's not the type of fresh tea, or "peony" Turkish or Moroccan rose, but rather Bulgarian rose oil, but be careful, the oil is not heavy at all like it usually is!.. I personally hate bulgarian rose oil, but this smells great .. In short, I hold a bouquet of fragrant red roses in my hand, I put my head in it, and I also smell a little of their green stems, but the smell is straight rose, rose and rose.. You don't need to be afraid of the first chemical spray, it goes away in a few seconds and starts just a beautiful pure simple rose to develop.. I don't think you need to wait for any extra development because it's a linear scent, but it's worth it...Rose lovers this is a must have!
