Mirages Miracle of the Rose

Rose and oud is a common combination, but it’s done really nicely here. This rose is jammy, sweet, red and succulent and plays off nicely with the oud. The oud is far from the rubbery, skanky, powering kind many associate with it. Here it almost feels like a peppery cedar and leans light and effervescent. I love the way the sweet and peppery notes play off each together here, and anyone who likes Si by Lolita Lempicka, ManRose by Etro, or Marni Rose with like this as well. In spite of how bright and lively Mirages Miracle of the Rose is, there is a richness to it that makes it feel dressed up and fancy. The rose is rich enough upon first spray to make this slightly feminine, but once it dries down the oud kicks in it turns more unisex, at lease on me. Well made, attention getting, expensive smelling and beautiful, MMOTR gets a standing ovation.

Dark, sexy, and smooth oud rose. A very good one... one that's built up to Prada's posh specifications. Fitted like an exquisite black leather jacket. Mysterious, refined. I love leather with the depth of a good rose+oud combo; it speaks to my soul. While everyone else and their mother is tired of the prevalent rose/oud combo, it still makes my eyes roll back when I catch a whiff. It's so gothic to me, so utterly romantic. And yes... Miracle of the Rose is one of the better ones I have tried. It's an extremely balanced blend... not too much of any one thing. No note is wrestling for attention, not one is too sharp. Just perfect. It would work equally well for men and women as a great winter fragrance. If I did not already have my treasured Valentina Oud Assoluto (also rose/oud/leather), I'd seek out a bottle of this.

I was sleeping on this for way to long. Regret that I didn’t buy a full bottle... At first I thought : Oh that’s a NO for me... 1 hr later still a no. After month or so I used it again, and I started loving it so much... Now I’m obsessed. It is such a gorgeous perfume... I can smell tobacco, rose is on the background kinda, Oud is warm and woody, I think patchouli and tobacco make it little spicy, gives it little more twist and it goes well together. Leather add richness to it. Performance is around 9 hrs I would say, after 4 hrs ish it’s more of close to you, so you’re in this beautiful bubble , just enjoying the smell... Its simply a masterpiece. You have to try it for yourself to fall in love

OMG. This is SO amazing. Rose and I don’t always “get along” but here we certainly do. This is a beautiful, lovely, authentic smelling rose plus smoke plus patchouli. When first applied it makes me think of black pepper. The smokiness was the most surprising to me and the blend of that with the rose is unusual and so appealing. I really love this! Got an almost full bottle for a good price. This is expensive, but definitely going to buy a back-up from Prada. It’s THAT good. Recommend for anyone who loves a strong smoky rose. After experiencing this one I want to try all of the Mirages line! 100 ml EdP on Prada’s online shop is $300 USD

One of the best rose and oud combos I have ever smelled. I encounter a rose oud perfume almost daily here in Dubai, but none of them smell like this. Realistic, strong rose smell that works incredibly well with the tobacco. The oud here is not skanky or animalic, it is rather subdued (but extremely high quality smelling) and very seductive. A perfect, night time smell. It seems to have amazing performance and while expensive, it is easy to see why. It is the first time that I encounter a rose oud smell that I want to wear, so I need to give this a few wears to pull the trigger on the full bottle.
