Roses and More

This perfume smells at its finest in cold winter. It's 17 degrees Fahrenheit and this is long lasting soft sensual rose . It is lovely in this climate. Of course you have to wait for the notes to mingle with your own chemistry before you judge it. I sprayed this before bed and thought it was horrible but fell asleep. I woke in the middle of the night and got these soft sensual wafts of roses and I was trying to remember what I had sprayed cuz it was so lovely! Well, I then remembered it was roses and more, I am pleased with this fragrance. I'm glad I didn't disregard it. And it has longevity, buy only in this cold winter weather.

Roses and More is a deep, rich, ambery rose, not at all similar to the types of rose centric fragrances that I have encountered in more recent times. With Rose and More, the rose is hidden, not at the forefront as the name would suggest. Once you discover the rose, it lingers and remains the star of the scent, although never taking over and never becoming a simple rose based scent. The rose is not obvious but definitely there. On my skin, this reminds me very much of Victoria’s Secret Rapture, which was also an ambery non-sweet spicy rose, and issued in the 90s as well. I think I love this.

1blondangel hit the nail on the head using the word velvety, that it is, and elegant. Another blind buy gone great! This perfume has a warmth like the sunshine that blankets you while napping near a window. It's cozy, peaceful, and very feminine. I think this perfume would be just perfect any day of the year, floating on a warm breeze this would be a most natural pleasant note. I have a "tester" bottle and the lettering on the bottle is very appealing to me. The bottle itself fits nicely into your palm. This would be ideal for gift giving!

How is this not mainstream!? This is a masterpiece! It’s gorgeous! It’s subtle spice, a well rounded rose with very well behaving supporting characters. Mmmm get a whiff of this in the middle of winter with snow on the ground and you will get exactly what I mean. It’s a beauty on her own but also plays well with other fragrances to add depth to something more playful. This is a true perfume- notes blend beautifully and the fragrance lasts all day - it is full and crafted.

This is my first perfume ever, I was 17 when I bought it. It brings good memories, it's so fresh and long lasting, recognizable, young and feminine. Simple, yet it has a personality. It's a shame I can't find it anywhere anymore.
