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!

Pure rose grace in a bottle! It's still a perfume-y rose, but it shows how a rose perfume should be done even when not authentic rose. It's usually pushed as a "fresh" perfume by SAs and it's true. It smells fresh in the opening. I thought about green notes but I see there are water notes. It makes sense. After the initial watery transparence the perfume settles to a pure rose garden and it's still fresh, but not so soft. Not a skin scent. It's more like walking in a rose garden in the month of May. I don't smell much of the basenotes, they probably give a tone to the whole blend. Romantic and gentle, yet softly sensual if you're into florals. I may buy it in Spring.

A soft, easy to wear Rose fragrance. Pleasant enough but it doesn't wow me. There are many similar Rose fragrances that are easier to find & cost a lot less. Slightly green in the opening and there is a little spice - not much though. Suitable for the office - this is so inoffensive that there is no risk of overpowering anyone. If you want a true green rose, try Serge Lutens Sa Majeste Rose & if you like a little spice try their Le Fille De Berlin. I personally find them far superior & both have better longevity.

For the fresh rose lovers. It is very realistic roses, very fresh with a small touch of jasmin & woody notes. More for Spring and summer, for hot days. Delicate, I imagine a romantic woman. Simple, you can wear it for all the occasion: work, week-end, etc. 7/10, I will wear it during spring

A lovely unusual peppery rose scent with an aquatic jasmine twist. It doesnt develop that much and I'm sad the rose wins so quickly. It retains a warmth from the amber which is very nice. A girly casual wear scent. Moderate longevity and sillage.

Very synthetic Rose, watery and bright and aldehydic. This is so synthetic it doesnt turn me on in a sense that other roses do. Green notes and rose notes, watery notes and fragrance notes, probably blends. No thank -you!

Lovely vivid roses, so fresh and happy. Dewy and uplifting, almost delicious. Unfortunately, less than 3 hours in and I can barely feel the fragrance - only a subtle powdery veil left.

This is a very green, bitter rose. It smells like oakmoss and roses; so, it is a bit woody. No other notes detected on me in winter.

To me, Early Roses is not a typical rose scent. It's watery, fleeting and bright. Not a trace of seriousness here! Great for a summer day, although maybe not the very warmest ones, as it pairs better with clouds than blue skies. The pink pepper is clear instantly on my skin, but it's not heavy or dirty. Yes, there is a healthy portion of rose, too, but this is no funeral rose. It pairs well with a glass of rosé wine, a grey summer evening and a good friend.

Pink pepper and roses on a wood base. Softer in the dry down, like rose scented powder. Pleasant, non offensive but also not something I feel like I need to own.

A very soft and reserved rose fragrance. It is anything but in your face. It is dedicated to the ones, who do not want to stand out or don't want the entire room to smell their fragrance. To soft for me.

A borderline pleasant rose, musk and woody notes blend. "Watery notes" make it smell a little too sour. Early Roses isn't terrible, but it isn't special, either.

Today we’ll be reflecting upon Early Roses by Teo Cabanel. The name of this perfume had me anticipating a bright and dewy garden rose, fresh and lively but what I picked up on was far more interesting than that. The roses in the opening of this perfume smell like they have already been cut. They don’t smell old or like potpourri roses, they just don’t have that garden-dwelling rose scent. There is however a pronounced green bitterness to the opening rose which keeps it from feeling flat and dull. This perfume to me is about the beauty of roses in a vase that is perched on a windowsill. The greenery begins to subside after about 15 minutes and the musk becomes a little more pronounced, softening the entire composition. By this point the fragrance is more about its rosiness than about being a rose. There is a light powdery halo that sticks around all the way until the end. Eventually the dry down becomes just one smooth and velvety skin-scent that has a slight lipsticky echo. I enjoyed this one, it was not what I was expecting but it was a nice surprise and a very pleasant experience :)

Early Roses is a soft, early morning rose with a bit of dew still on it, just picked from the garden. The musk gives it a velvety soft edged structure, but the rose oil/attar is there and prominent in the topnotes. It is a realistic rose scent like a freshly picked rose, not a killer dose of rose attar that would choke a polar bear. I do not perceive a watery quality in this scent, just a bit of dewiness in the topnotes. The pepper adds a spicy note that is just right and the drydown brings in amber and woods to balance. The jasmine is there, but it never overpowers the rose. I love the drydown of this scent, which lasts for hours as a beautifully balanced skin scent. There is only noticeable sillage for about an hour and a half, but with a few good sprays on body and clothing this fragrance lasts all day on me. It is very close to the perfect rose for me. It is so refreshing to find a rose scent that is not overwhelmed with fruity notes.

Smells exactly how its called. This is how the brand describes it. "Just close your eyes and picture yourself walking leisurely in a rose garden still bathed in delicate morning dew". . I can't describe it any better. If you like rose in a fragrance, this is the one for you. It's rose up top and rose in the heart followed by creamy amber and woody notes. 🌹🌹 . It's so simple, subtle & classy, it's hard to describe. This is something that you just have to experience. 🤩 Another amazing high-quality experience from the house!

I’m so proud of myself, lol! I took a break from my fragrance obsession and now I’m slowly making my way back. As soon as I sprayed this I thought “Mmm, watery roses with pepper? Huh??...ok, that’s random” but then I looked up the notes, and that’s exactly what this is! Early Roses is a great, fresh rose perfume for the person who finds most rose scents old-fashioned.

My first impression of Early Roses is contrary to most. It's a full rosy scent, sort of dense. It's unmistakably rose which is fortified with the spiciness from pink pepper. The woody base is leaning more sandalwood like. As a matter of fact, Early Roses reminds me an awful lot of Dior's La Colle Noire.

A nice sweet rose for most of the journey, reminded me of turkish delight with a slight peppery addition in the drydown.

not bad, kinda cute, I smell almost something like tea and rose, smoky black tea
