Lava Rose

I’m impressed for once with the note votes and Lucifersans review. I was on the fence about this one but went with a full bottle after trying a sample. A bright plasticky and vinyl synth opening transforms to a leather after 3-5 minutes with a lovely sweetness (for me being very much the lychee) After 10 minutes the leather turns to a patchouli darkness with a green giving the impression of crushed green stem. The brightness that has carried through from the outset of carnation and rose (almost old fashioned hairspray like) plays as a beautiful crushed petal over the darkness and green. The metallic top note being the follow through of the soil tincture. The success for me is the way the some of the notes carry it through an evolution and make it an all be it short journey into a nice earthy rose. The synth vibe is always exaggerated with the right natural note at the right time which has pushed me past my initial reservations of it being somewhat generic or purely a feminine scent. As such it also ends up being quite pungent and long lasting. Whilst it can be worn any time I think for men it’s be more of a treat rather than one for wearing in public but I’m sure a lot of women will love it.

An unusual combination that just works. I can’t stop sniffing it! I scored a 50ml decant from a friend for an unbelievable AUD 20 and honestly, Lava Rose might be one of the best and gorgeous rose fragrances out there. Period. It’s dark and edgy, with a gothic undertone that feels like stepping into a funeral parlour, yet it also induces the vibe of a leather bar or an intimate bathhouse. At the same time, it’s sophisticated enough for a fine dining experience or a night out at a club. Versatile, bold and utterly addictive and UNIQUE despite with no oud in the notes - pure genius! 100% gender neutral and men can confidently wear this with no masculinity issue :) I'm saving the big 50ml decant bottle for my lifetime supply and use it on special occasions only.

Damp, earthy, smoky. A heavy haze at early onset, and lingers for hours. Sharpness is metallic and burnt. Avant-garde in many respects.Total ambivalence. I'm not into rose notes, and this is still the case, however, I enjoy the punishment this perfume administers. ⚜ Message me if you're selling this one in the USA in any condition (used, decants, just the bottle!, etc), She's absolutely beautiful. ⚜

This fragrance best fragrance I ever own hands down. Clean, sophisticated, unique. Reminds me of a super fresh litchi drink on crazy hot summer. The litchi and rose note is so fresh and clean. Don’t know why it’s being discontinued. Hopefully Prin will remake this : ((

This is absolutely gorgeous. It's rosey, earthy, smoky, and a bit metallic. It's so pretty and it smells really good on my skin. This perfume just screams goth to me and it's lovely!
