Moroccan Rose

I've just bought moroccan rose edt yesterday..actually,i have been searching for suitable/appropriate floral fragrance for myself since few months ago..because lately,i have found that those sweet n sugary scented perfume,smells bad on my skin..it turned to be like burning cookies scent when it dries down,which i always feel discomfort n worried... Now I realized that my skin chemistry suits well with floral frags..not those of fruity-sweet smelling..i noticed that whenever the SA sprays any floral frags that I wanted to try on my skin,the smell is exactly the same as on the tester strip..the scent doesn't change. From the bottom of my heart,I always wanted to buy chloe edp by chloe..i mean,the actual bottle of it..but i only have its original samples..i decided not to buy the actual bottle due to its expensive price in my country...i did my review on chloe n if you wanna read it,kindly browse to chloe edp page.. i am being sincere because not many people are affordable to buy those pricey fragrances,including me...even though chloe is my most favourite,but i have to find an alternative or think of its substitute..so yesterday,i think i have found one n that was moroccan rose by the the body shop.. Generally,body shop is a world class fragrance,face n body care company in UK...so there's nothing to be ashamed of..even though most of its frags are not created by famous designers like gucci,chanel etc etc,but body shop always supports naturally-made beauty product..which to me,is the best way to preserve our earth from destruction and pollution..save the earth n love the green environment...besides,all of the item sold are in affordable range of price. I would love to have a whole set of moroccan rose product as my wedding gift... back to where I was : opinion n scent description of m.rose. honestly,i had sampled m.rose last year..but I totally disliked it...it's quite overpowering n I couldn't even smell the rose flower in it...all I could smell was an odd mixture of heavy smelling flowers n spices.. However,yesterday was unforgetable..Right after the first spray of it on a tester strip,i smelled sort of spicy scent in it...after a minute or two,i was able to smell rose flower. the rose smelled soft but distinctive n firm. m.rose is an elegant perfume,romantic,sophisticated n womanly..it isn't a clean type of scent,bcause it has that spice powder ingredient..don't get me wrong,i didn't mean to say that m.rose smells powdery.but m.rose actually smells soapy..smells after shower-like scent..calm,soothing,motherly n refreshing..i don't find it as granny-ish or old lady kind of scent..m.rose is classy n lovely..that's what I like about it...it isn't heavy n headache-inducing like fragrance..perhaps,the spicy ingredient somehow changed the suppose-to-be powdery type to soapy-like scent.chemical reaction does that..well,i am not sure,just saying...again,the first notes are spices n rose. Then,as m.rose dries down,comes the citrusy lemon oil..followed by soft n velvety smelling mimose n musk..its longevity on my skin is approximately 2 hours..but on my shirt,it stays longer.could be up to 2 days..m.rose has the resemblance of hugo boss femme edp..but femme smells stronger n bolder than m.rose.. As a conclusion,I love the balanced mixture of all the ingredients..smells beautiful n pleasant.i love how the spices being toned down to be a non-dominant scent...but rose is the ultimate n suits with its name moroccan rose.

I hadn't tried this in years until my sister found an old bottle of it in the back of her bathroom cupboard. We joked about the miraculous things one finds in the back of a bathroom cabinet, a bit like Narnia, but for lost, almost mythical beauty products from yesteryear. I feel as though I never gave this fragrance the justice it deserved when I sampled it many many moons ago. The last time Morrocan Rose and I crossed paths, I had found it in my sister's refridgerator door and I spritzed it on my Wedding Bouquet of silk Peonies right before I walked out the door to leave for my Wedding. Morrocan Rose is a sophisticated, peppery, very Eastern rose with none of the soapiness, old ladyishness which many rose fragrances with higher price tags I have forked out for over the years. I do sense the comparison to Stella, it is justified. I feel a certain kinship between this and Vaara by Penhaligon's London and the sadly discontinued Rosabotanica by Balenciaga. What a shame this little gem is disontinued as well. I would most definitely buy myself a bottle if the Body Shop would bring it back from their archives of long lost wonderful scents.

This is probably one of the better offerings from The Body Shop in recent years (their stuff went downhill IMO). This is a pleasant floral which opens up soft, delicate and with a splash of juicy citrus. Perhaps it's trying to imitate a pale pink rose. There are also hints of spices to this scent, preventing it from being the "unpopular" soliflore and making it interesting. The scent is pretty linear throughout its development, remaining sweet and floral. Probably what you'd call a "modern" interpretation of a rose, lacking in the bitterness and oomph of the roses from the past and a bit abstract to distance itself from the whole 'air freshener' similarity. Verdict: decent, worth a sniff. And please, there's no age group when it comes to scents! A young little girl(or boy) can enjoy this as much as someone way older. WHY IS THIS DISCONTINUED?!

I(as a newbie to fragrances) used to think rose perfumes were boring, oldschool and monotonous, and this one has proven me wrong. I gave myself a try last week and, you know you can't smell anything properly in TBS, so I bought the showergel instead. The showergel smells nice but the smell is very light and lasts for 1 or 2 minutes. That made me longing for the smell so I bought the perfume few days back. I think I love this one because of the hint of citrus in it that hasdefinitely livened the perfume. The rose smells relatively light (than the traditional onoes) and makes me feel natural to wear in most occasions.

Great and very authentic rose with, to me, strong spice. I don ́t really understand any comparisons to Stella, which to me is a smooth, ambery rose. They are both good, but this is WAY more spicy. I don ́t detect that much citrus, then again citrus tend to turn sweet on my skin- god knows why! To me this is nutmeggy, almost cumin-like rose with quite a greenish quality. It is VERY original, rosey and reminds me of a snapped off rose stem. Light wood, spice, greeeny, stubble all surrounded by a very pert rose. Gorgeous, but not insipid at all. Quite mature and way better than their new Atlas Mountain Rose.

I'm really not into floral perfumes, but I really like Moroccan Rose. I think I actually like it more because I was expecting to hate it. As well as the rose I get lovely, vanilla spicy scents that linger for a long time, as well as the smell of something pleasant and indefinable from childhood that really lifts me through the day. I'm wearing this through the winter as it helps keep me feeling feminine and cosy. I think this might be my gateway perfume into appreciation of floral fragrances. Definitely worth a try, especially as it's so reasonably priced.

My first fragrance! Bought a 50ml bottle of this a decade ago, and I still love it. There are still a few drops of it left, and I am going to cherish it forever, considering it's been discontinued. I'd describe it as a deep, smoky and spicy rose scent. Truly unique, not too old for a young person to wear, and it certainly has its own distinct character. Compared to this, the current rose fragrance from The Body Shop smells flat and boring.

This is the first rose scent that I like, love, and then adore it! But my bestfriend wears it, applying with body butter, it's perfect! Yes she is perfect! How wonderful she is in Moroccan Rose's wrap. Everytime she move, I smell beautiful rose... Oh so lovely!! I'm waiting for, she spent off her perfume, and buy something new (she is not a collector anyway..like I was, only have 1-2 perfumes)so I can buy this one for myself then ! :D

I was on my 3rd bottle when The Body Shop decided to discontinue this and now my 3rd bottle with 1/4 left in it. I don't want to use it :( everytime I wear this scent, some people around me notice and will tell me 'I love your smell today and the scent suits you very well'. I love roses scent but to get a perfume that have moderately nice and long lasting floral scent like this, I think will never can get...

I'll admit, I'm kind of a perfume snob. I would go for the more expensive, designer perfume rather than the cheaper perfume. However, I've never gotten so many compliments on my perfume before. It's wonderful, and the lasting power is not bad for the price. But everyone says it's more a spring/summer scent. I however feel like it's perfect for winter.

I just want to say that I just bought a sample of Delina and after smelling it for the 1st time, it reminded me of a familiar scent that I couldn’t pinpoint and then all of a sudden i remembered this gem! It maybe the rose, cedar or vanilla but I know Delina was a familiar scent! I will find a bottle of this again...

Love it to piece, I used to have the eau du toilette of this fragrance and everyone commented on how good it smelt. Those of you saying it's too strong, go out and buy the eau du toilette! It's less strong and cheaper. It's distinctly rose, which so few perfumes are nowadays.

I really loved this fragrance. I so wish they would bring it back. I bought Stella and Stella in Two Peony after this but it wasn’t the same and aggravated my hayfever. Body shop had an amaranthus scent I smelled on someone who was using the hand cream and it was lovely too.

Not your usual rose scent, there is something spicy here. This conjures an image of roses in a dusty Arabian street, full of spices. Roses and spices produce this beautiful combination. Clean gentle scent. I love this, very sad this is not in production anymore. :(

This was the first fragrance I bought with my own money. I loved it so much! I remember someone saying they smelled fresh cut roses (which was impossible considering where we were) before noticing me and finding the source of that fragrance. I miss having it.

Roses with lemon. Beautiful combination. Fresh at the beginning, a little too sweet at the end. I love it though. It lasts on me 4-5 hours. For me is ok. Very pity that this gorgeous scent has been discontinued.

Beautiful and clean rosy scent for a hot day. I can say this bottle is one of a great rosy scent out there. It can freshen you up with fresh dew on the rose mixing with spices. Easy to wear. Just try.

Love this perfume! Light and cool summery, or any season, scent! Gorgeous freshly cut wild rose scent with a touch of citrus that eliminates that powdery smell. A perfect youthful rose scent.

I loved that perfume. It has something peaceful and decent. And even though it seems that no one notices when you are wearing it, everybody recognises you in its scent. Adorable and Sweet!

i love this one! Since the first time i smelled it i knew i had to bought this and now only few left on the bottle. it has pleasant scent and sweet but not that much
