Rock! by Shakira

i hate it when people comment without even sniffing a fragrance.....i thought this would suck big time, and then i saw it on the shelf and then after ignoring it i had to try it out both on paper and on my skin......first thought is YUCK garbage like citrus...but then after 5 seconds it begins to shine fresh citrus with just a little sweetness but so good i could not believe it for that price to be so good and so long lasting...i can still sniff it of my wrist after 5 hours....it doesn't change like other stuff but it is a great scent for day or evening all year for both guys and girls...this is nothing complicated, it's simple but very good (it's like a light version of eau de gaga 001)...i will buy it in the future btw i'm a tall masculine 21 year old guy but don't divide fragrances by gender (it's just stupid in the 21st century) and please stop correcting me on the "perfume is for girls scents and cologne is for guy scents", it's the same thing and what do you call the unisex ones....perfume is a nice word and i'll stick with that

If I had to use one word to describe this perfume, I'd say it's "electric." It's ideal for parties and if you're wearing maybe yellow or something bright/ illuminous to put yourself out there. I bought about 2 bottles in a Spanish airport, there was only like 2 bottles of it left so I'm not sure if it's discontinued. I do like it, but I can't view it as a signature scent. It's only worn for occasions.

I blindbuy this one, because it cost only 20 euro at Amsterdam airport at that time. This perfume is fruity alright, the citrus and the passionfruit, i think the smell is faithful to the pyramid, and it was a great bargain, so I don't regret it. It smells nice, and I think this one is more unisex even though it is marketed towards female.

I have seen that this gets negative reviews, but if I were to smell this on a girl I would definitely appreciate it. I find it very attractive.

Hmmmmmm. <-- That is how I feel about this fragrance. It's kind of pleasant...kind of unpleasant. I can understand why this is not a "crowd pleaser" generally speaking. I've read tons of reviews stating how this doesn't really smell so much like a perfume...as it does like a car freshener or air freshener. But on the contrary...that actually is what pushed me to pull the plug and blind buy this as the very soapy, or "clean-categorized" fragrances I usually really love. Some examples are Jennifer Aniston's first fragrance, has a beachy-detergent like vibe. David H's Cool Water for men is very aquatic, clean cotton type of smell. Versace Crystal Noir - A very gardenia centric soapy smell. All of the above fragrance I absolutely LOVE! So what most people were "on the fence" about with this one is what MADE ME BUY IT. In addition to that...I have and absolutely LOVE Shakira's Elixir and Wild Elixir so needless to say, I had high hopes for this one despite the very "mixed reviews." But I must be a straight shooter as Wendy Williams says...and say I am somewhat let down. It's very confusing. Some days I think it's pleasant, other days I don't like it. And as mentioned below me...it does come off as very "sharp." VERY sharp actually. I know the top accords say white floral and citrus but somehow...it almost blends together to smell like a mixture of banana...and one of those "piney" car fresheners. It's hard to describe but that's how it comes off. Like a mix of green pine and banana. It's somewhat sharp and screechy so I'm extremely surprised to see "sweet" as a main accord...because it is not sweet. NOT AT ALL. We all work hard for our money so I don't only write reviews to describe my experiences with fragrances...I also like to warn all of you fellow fragranticans as to whether a fragrance is a safe blind buy in my opinion and this one is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE! Some will like it, some will not...but SMELL THIS FIRST! It is absolutely NOT a crowd pleaser for the masses. It's odd and confusing. Like I said, sometimes I think I like it, other days I absolutely do not. And some days I think it's better utilized as a room spray or something to spray on fabric or on your couch. Longevity - Decent. About 5 hours. Sillage - Also decent. About 2-3 feet for the first 2 hours and tapers in closer after that. Scent Itself - Im going to give it a 6. Confusing fragrance. Overall Rating - I couldn't be more unsure about this one. I'm gonna say a 5 or a 6. Again...biggest point here that I cannot stress enough is...DO NOT blind buy this.

I was given a sample of this in the store, as i was testing some designer frags. I wouldnt have tried Shakira's scents normally, as i hear they dont last too long. (Btw i do like celeb scents, particularly JLo and Rihanna - decent stuff, one of the best.) So i tried my sample of Rock! today...hmm its actually quite nice!!! Fresh and citrusy at first spray, then it settles down to more powdery notes. It remains fruity throughout, and after the powdery notes settle some more, more fruity notes appear once again, the passion fruit in particular. None of the notes stand out however, which i think is good for this scent, they are blended very smoothly. (Some reviews mention notes are similar to Aguilera's Secret Potion...indeed...but imo Potion's notes, each one, stands out more...) I really like this frag, surprisingly, as i wasnt even shopping at the celeb frags shelf. I just got to try this sample in the most random way It doesnt last very long, but is noticeable enough after and hour or two. But then again, i do love sillage monsters, and if i get this scent Rock, id be re-applying constantly :) During the drydown of the base notes, after about the first hour, strangely enough, this reminded me a little bit of Bvlgari's pour Femme, the good old classic. But just a little bit!!! :) Which id say is quite a compliment for Rock. Regarding the bottle, i don't know anything about Bond No 9 as ive never ever seen their scents...where im at (South Africa) usually only famous & / or mainstream sells. Bond No 9 is probably considered very niche. Just btw...

Summary: Tested a spray on my wrist. A joyful fruity tropical which is fresh-woody instead of coconutty or sticky-sweet/jammy. Different from any tropical fruity scent I have tried so far, surprisingly unisex and very good for its price. ----------- This one is interesting, an example of an enduring mass-market trend (fruity tropicals) done pleasantly without having a high price tag. It's not serious or a masterpiece. It does not cause awe. However, to me, it's like a source of simple joy, while simultaneously not being childish and managing to feel unisex. The main notes I feel are the citruses and passionfruit (on the woodier / less sweet side, a passionfruit that is not fully ripe but still fragrant) and the woody notes. It actually lasted 6-7h on my skin and projects to arm's length. I must retry it :)

Good afternoon! I would like to share my opinion about the Rock fragrance! by Shakira. For its price segment, this fragrance really sounds decent, but unfortunately, it did not steal my heart, as its brother POP-ROCK by Shakira did. The design of the bottle, in the shape of the bends of the guitar, is pleasant to hold in your hands. Durability is poor, on my skin for half an hour or an hour. The description says that the fragrance is citrus. I don't feel CITRUS FRUITS from the word at all. White flowers and musk burst forth. More precisely, they are the only ones that are felt. In general, the fragrance is slightly cloying, everyday, I personally get bored quickly.

This one is a soft and feminine fragrance. i think it should be called "Folk" instead of Rock, it reminds me much more of Shakira ́s early songs like Antologia and Moscas en la casa than of her more rocker singles. This fragrance has a quiet tropical vibe to it, nothing like the fruity summer cocktails from Escada, for example. This one is elegant and low profile. Main note for me is Passion Fruit, it really dominates this fragrance, but it is not too strong, it gets softened by the flowers. Overall a nice perfume if you like soft, fruity scents with a tropical touch to it.

This is my teenage years perfume and after not smelling it for like a decade, I got myself a bottle at the airport. I feel happy and pretty when I wear this fragrance. It's definitely youthful without being too girlish. I feel like you can wear this no matter your age, it's safe, timeless in a crowd-pleasing way specially if you're into jasmine and wood. I wear it to work and I'm close to finishing it but I'd love to own a similar fragrance to serve that purpose, and keep this one for when I'm feeling nostalgic.

Got this perfume as a gift. Love the fresh scent this perfume gives off, that is why I enjoy using it when going to the gym, cycling or running day-to-day errands. I appreciate the opening citrus notes, and as the perfume wears off, I like the subtle sweetness it radiates, as it is not very intense and irritating for my nose.

A fruity/citrusy fragrance that lasts max 2 hours, but I really like it. It smells cheap (uncomplicated) and youthful. Reminds me of good summer times from my childhood. One of the notes is supposed to be patchouli (which I hate) but I can’t smell much of it.

It's nothing special, I liked it at first, but then as I wore it more often, it became ordinary to me, it doesn't have any special characteristics, and it doesn't last too long. I use it every day for work and it serves that purpose.

Rock? whats from rock music in this one? ballad as name would suit it much more,or even S floral or something like that as for me this seems a lighter versión of Shakira,s own S,an innofensive light sweety floral

Initial blast: mandarin, bergamot and passion fruit. Citrus with a sweet fruity touch, not very 'real', but not overly synthetic. Almost like a powder juice (chemical, but similar to the natural version). After a few minutes, the flowers starts to bloom. The most prominent for me is the orange blossom. In that moment, the fragrance gets really soft on my skin. Powdery and soft, almost like i took a shower and the soap scent lingered on my skin. From the base notes, i get the musk and the cedar (with a tiny little hint of amber). Very green. Is soft, fresh and after-shower-like. It does not make a statement. It is not a powerhouse. It won't exude from your skin. It won't enter a room before you do. Great for a summer cologne. Great for all year round, actually, although is SUPER SOFT in colder weather. Great for gifts. Great for who's starting into fragrances and needs one for every occasion. Very unisex (it reminds me of a cheap flowery version of CK One).

i already did a review a while ago about this one, but after wearing it enough (i used to take it with me in my work bag) i need to change my statement a little bit. Is is nice? Not quite. It smells very synthetic, like products you would use to clean you house. Lacks a certain quality, cause the notes are really good in my opinion, but they are done in a very cheap way. I would recommend this for teens who doesn't really care about fragrances, but wants to wear more than the usual deodorant. For someone who's entering in the fragrance universe, and needs to buy cheap fragrances to know what the notes may smell like.

It's unisex to me, fresh citrus fragrance with some sharp flowers and woods. I can smell pine too, it's weird. I agree, it's synthetic, more like an air freshener than a perfume.

no dura casi nada el olor, es muy frutal... rico pero nada nuevo.

disgusting, sorry but gave me a serious headache

PERFUME SUPER DELICIOSO, REFRESCANTE, SENSUAL,

When I first got this perfume for my birthday, I really got used to it it and I would wear it on a daily basis. I decided to take a break from it and try some other perfumes. When I came back to this one, I had a very hard time getting used to it again. It opens up with some very sharp and intense citrus notes, very strong. I always have a love/hate relationship with this one. When I focus on this one only, it's amazing. As soon as I find a new, better perfume, I almost can't stand this one.

i think this one is unique for fisrt time cause i so adore her, , ,after a while it's so same with Bond No 9 collection for the bottle design, just a little shape diffrent in it, , ,if the lid more tall and shape like edge of guitar it will be more great, , , so look like guitar than Bond No 9, , ,but she just do like it, well is now not to good for me, but i'll buy it for sure just cause i'm a huge fans with her, , ,hope the smell not dissapointing , , ,<3 Shaki !

I can see why you said that it ́s very Bond n° 9, but if you know a little bit about perfumes, you must know that are so many bottles, fragrances and ideas too similar but not the same. This is not very Bond, the curves are not the same, the shapes are not the same, the general idea is not the same. Actually, I prefer the Rock! one, it ́s more like a real star, not too perfect o geometric. I like so much Aquamarine, so I need to try this!!

This one opens with a sharp citrus. Not so soft as passion fruit, but a bit more like a bittersweet pineaple with lemon drops. In fact, I don't smell passion fruit at all. Then I get a soft, "smooth" feeling in the middle notes, surrounding sweet and generic jasmin. It's a little bit weird, yes, but not unpleasant. Fresh, but also sharp. I didn't like Rock! at first, but we began to get along well.

I used to wear this like everyday in my early tweens and today I smelled my Daisy wild and it finally clicked, I think this is similar to Daisy wild but it’s so hard to find a sample of this, once I do I will be able to compare the two but from memory this takes me back to my Shakira rock days.

This is the most basic and cheepish smelling everyday fruity-floral you can imagine but if you're not insisting on something extra about the way you smell, it's a great choice. It's uninterestingly pleasant and surprisingly longlasting. I can still feel it after a whole day of wear.

On my skin it is a floral but then cedar comes as main note and drowns the others. A woody scent and a short lived one at that 2/3 hours tops (and as a very weak skin scent) with weak sillage.

and i forget , , , i think this one looks like unisex for me cause all the notes, well we'll see is this true can used by women and men too, , , hope so <3

This has a lot of the same notes of Secret Potion by Christina Aguilera.

Uh oh! Has Bond No 9 seen this ? Lawsuit incoming ?

When I wanna smell like a man I use this

The bottle is very Bond No 9 !
