Early Roses

While this rose is definitely not POAL, I don't think of it as a dewy fresh morning rose either. For me, the aquatic watery quality burns off rather quickly, and it becomes a rose that is out in the garden with the sun's light and heat directly on it; I think it's more of a "late roses" rose, not afternoon or evening, but just the first early morning heat 10:00--11:00. So many people are capturing a greener scent than I am. For me, the green and the water lasts about two minutes, and then, a a lot of pepper plays into the composition. The pepper and jasmine warm this up considerably, and the amber and musks lend it a powdery tone. While it is not strictly a "powder" rose smell, or baby powder scent, this pepper-powder combo is the most striking to me, adding an originality to a "mere soliflore" which I think would be boring. It is certainly recognizeably a rose--but a lovely rose with a difference. It is not complex, but, it is deceptively simply. The silage is not great. That's the downer. I purchased a smaller bottle of this from Teo Cabanel in Europe, and, with many generous sprays managed to get some spillage, but this wears very discreetly. The longevity is excellent--but--mostly a skin scent. So it lasts, but reapplication may be necessary to really appreciate the scent. I'm not a huge rose fan and not really a soliflore fan, but I know I'm repurchasing this--it's an excellent scent. I prefer this over their other rose scent, Oha, which gets a lot of love in Blog land, but which I would wear only on special event days (formal). This rose is much easier to wear everyday and appreciate in a variety of settings: jeans and t-shirt, or, a night out. It's not exactly sexy--but it's very lovely, elegant, and inviting, which is a different kind of sexy. And this is a kiss of death, which I don't mean it to be, but, one could wear this to the office; it won't scream at anyone and it's inoffensive. This is meant, in this very particular case to be a positive commentary....

I love it! A refreshingly easy rose scent, with a perfectly balanced clean base. This is very easy to wear. It starts very dewy and slightly green, then quickly changes into a pure soft rose (I didn't get any musky notes at this point). This is not Bulgarian heavy rose, but a new, soft-spoken one. Sillage is really soft but it so far stays on me for 11 hours, of course being down to the base (a very clean amber, love it). I used one spray on each arm and one on my neck, because it smelled so soft and clean rosey that I thought a little more wouldn't hurt anyone. It works better on skin than on clothes, on skin this rose simply blossoms. My mother liked it a lot too, so I think I'll get her this. She likes the soft roses best. To me, this is a really ageless scent. And I am amazed about the aquatic notes in this; it does smell dewy and fresh but is absolutely not getting to my head in an artificial way. This is a morning rose, then a perfectly wearable very slightly woody base. Refreshing it after a long day is a rosy delight and doesn't spoil it at all, for the base really is comfortably soft. All in all, I believe I'll be wearing this when I have a quietly joyful day, enjoying the comfortable attitude of this. Everybody who smells this on me compliments the scent. I love the Early Roses!

A beautiful fragrance, pleasant to wear has just the French "imprint". The rose is very pretty, a pink pepper with its accents gives modernity and character to the perfume, in my opinion it fits very well for walks in the city. A perfume that gives energy and carefree... for those who love simple yet refined things. I want to discover other Teo Cabanel perfumes, Love it! Sillage: 6./10 Longevity: 7./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

"Early Roses" is a beautiful, non offensive rose perfume very similar to Stella, but a little bit more classy and lux (and I am not speaking only about price tag). It opened rather green, but very soon settled to a sweet, musky and fruity rose scent suitable for a younger crowd and pretty much everyone who enjoys wearing Stella and is looking for something a bit more refined, but similar. "Early Roses" has a low silage and it stays close to skin, longevity is mediocre. I sense that not many people would commit to buying "Early Roses" themselves as this is nothing too unique and does not stand out in the "fruity/sweet rose" crowd, but nevertheless many will enjoy receiving this as a gift or gifting it to others. Very safe choice for teenagers, adults and seniors a like, could not offend anyone.

I agree with my fellow member Juliette has a gun. Early Roses is a light, pleasant and office-friendly scent with average sillage. It makes me think of young roses after a summer rain. Early Roses is a pretty straight-forward, soft, clean, slightly sweet and dewy rose. 5 sprays lasted almost 4 hours on my skin which is not too bad taking into account that Early Roses is a rather light fragrance. What I really like about this fragrance is that I can picture it on a certain kind of woman: A lively, caring, and honest woman with a big heart! The fragrance is not one that makes you stand out from a crowd but it is definitely nice and pleasant. On a personal note: I prefer it over Tea Rose or Stella. A big thanks to the one and only ♣ Juliette has a gun ♣ for the sample!
