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

Very beautiful rose perfume. Not too rosy but it doesnt last long at all. The Body Shop product quality is crap these days... sad.

my favorite body shop perfume!

The only Rose fragrance I will ever need. I received this as a lovely gift for my birthday a year ago and it is a welcome addition to my collection. I have tested in in every season and it seems to work best for spring and early summer to appreciate any "greeness" it may have, however it sadly smells a little flat during our Canadian winters here. The rose does of course predominate, and is of crisp, fresh roses and not dried nor pot-pourri-ish nor cut in the vase. Seems to me the "dustyness" people may pick up on is from the spice. The lemon and spice is evident to me only in the perfume spray and not the cream, and only slightly in the bath gel. The woody notes in the perfume come out especially strong in the drydown and is fairly overwhelming on me (this is just my chemistry, happens to many perfumes!). I circumvent this by spraying it on my clothes if I'm in the mood for smelling rosey. I have a feeling the ratings on this one would be higher if it were packaged and marketed by an upscale niche perfumery. As it stands I prefer this one greatly to Stella. Moroccan Rose is widely available and very affordable, safe fragrance. If you don't like the perfume itself, give the lotion/cream version a go. It is soft, smooth and fresh. Makes a lovely base for other fragrances. I found myself rushing to purchase a backup of this body butter immediately I liked it so much! Headache risk: Low. Work safe.

Moroccan Rose is a beautifully embellished true rose scent. Not romantic, not rebellious, not seductive, but then again small dosages of all those things in one. Heavily dominant on rose this fragrance has also citrus, soft spice, smoky, powdery and woody nuances making it a very versatile season and time of the day wise. However it has moderate sillage just for some three hours, then it dries down to skin scent for some three more. Opening is bright lemon with rose, changed to more sweet orange later. Nice punch of soft spices gives vibrancy and a tiny bit of sharpness keeping this now dry rose alive. It has almost light smoky quality (Virginian cedar?) with fresh, yet powdery mimosa and clean musk somewhere in the mix. On the skin it has a warm heart of ambery cedar, however citrus and spices give the softest tickle in the nose (not comparable to sharpness pepper can give though). It was my go-to when I had just a few perfume options as it is so versatile and well blended. Now that I have a choice, I still reach for this one, because of its quiet and understated beauty. On comparison to Atlas Mountain Rose - both have similar rose, however later one is plainer, loses in projection, and lacks all those nuances, including mysterious and comforting warmth. For me it is a downgraded version, sadly.

This is my go-to perfume on in-between-showers days. It's nice and light, but nothing really special -- just enough to make me feel human enough to go out of the house, if you know what I mean. To me "Moroccan Rose" is not really an accurate description for this perfume; "Day Rose" sounds more appropriate. It's a linear composition of rose and lemon, which gives it a zing that a true desert rose wouldn't have. I don't get any musk from this perfume. I like Moroccan Rose enough to keep it, and am sad that The Body Shop has discontinued it (although it did mean that I got this for $12.50 -- the new version, Atlas Mountain Rose, is a little sweeter and more powdery). Sillage is decent, but seeing as this is an EDT, re-application every few hours is needed if you want it to last. The body butter complement is absolutely divine. It's so rich, creamy, and exotic (no trace of lemon here), it really does feel as though you're slathering on rose oil. That is what I would call Moroccan Rose. I like layering it with one of my favourite perfumes, Yves Rocher's Comme Une Évidence.

For starters, I am not into overly floral fragrances, especially rose. Usually, rose tends to lean toward “elderly woman” for me, so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered this scent during a shopping trip to The Body Shop. When I first smelled it, I was pleasantly surprised by its warm notes. I sprayed it on my arm while browsing the store to see how the fragrance would fare after the initial spray. When I was almost done shopping, I found that I really enjoyed the woody/earthiness with the rose. I bought the bottle and still have half of it. While I don’t wear it often (I tend to lean toward woodier fragrances), I am always pleasantly surprised by the fragrance when I wear it because smells great on my skin. Every so often, if I am feeling adventurous, I will layer this fragrance with Fresh’s Cannabis Santal (the men’s cologne) to bring some more warmth to the rose and bring out the woody notes already present. Moroccan Rose is a secret weapon in my fragrance arsenal and I am not mad about it.

My husband just bought this for me as pre- valentine gift together with Love ETC and and knowing he will not have the hussle of cracking his brains up to have to pick the right gift. I sprayed a little before we purchased it and allowed for it to grow on me for a while. I just found my daily casual fragrance which will definately be an alternative to one high end brands i wanted for daily wear. The good thing with this one is that it comes at a price that one can afford to splash it on evertime you feel the scent is fading. Yeeeeey, good buy for me this time especially since i find it hard picking fragrances that blow me away, this one just did!!!!

Too bad they reformulated it. It used to be so perfect "pure rose" perfume. Now you can only smell pink pepper, grapefruit and musk at first and a light hint of rose at the end. And it's overbearing and heavy, not light and crispy and uplifting like other rose compositions, e.g. Givenchy Very Irrisistible. I will give it a try tough as i recieved it for my birthday, maby I'll get used to it. Like I said, too bad though. It was perfect perfume for rose lovers!

I like this scent very much (but then I tend to love all kinds of rose scents!). It is a fresh, sweet (but not overly so), innocent, joyful rose. It feels preppy and romantic and always brings up a nostalgia for the simplicity of a past that never was. I love to wear it for weekend trips, because it gives me a sense of lasting freshness and perhaps a bit of curious optimism. Plus, I like the simplicity of the bottle, it's small but classic (I have the 50ml).

This is a very light, soft and feminine fragrance. Very distinct rose smell. Perfect for younger women and for casual wear. I bought this after smelling it on one of my colleagues. It was starting to get a little common then as some of my female friends notice what i was wearing. However most compliments came from women rather than men. I like it and i bring it in my bag just in case i need to spritz some more - as it doesnt really last long...

I live in a hot and humid city..and this perfume is just perfect for Summers... In fact..you can call it my work perfume.. It isn't much strong but that doesnt mean it is not noticeable... I've had compliments.. I wont call it a work of art but I cant ignore it either... I like/love it... I dont dislike it... If there was ever a course about perfumes this will feature for the beginners.. Linear scent but oh well..perfect for work :I

It's a basic, pleasant, understated rose, not exciting, no real complexity. It's a "safe" rose. Has a nice sweetness to it. You get the rose most heavily at first spray. Then, it goes down to a gently sweet musky rose (for me, the spices were faint.) I actually like it better later in the day, when the vanilla comes out more. Just a touch of sourness, though, not sure if it's what happens with it on me or what the perfume is doing.

After finding out that the awesome scent of my Lancome toner is rose I've been looking for a rose frag to balance out my little collection. I tried Stella because of reviews, but there was just a subtle nuance that blew it for me. Moroccan Rose, however, fit just like a key ...a key that unlocks a big wood door leading into an exotic, sun-filled, moorish courtyard full of wild roses! I love it!

This was a present from my in-laws, probably not something I would go out and buy myself, but in saying that I do like a rose perfume, which is why my in-laws bought it for me. This can be overpowering so use sparingly, but it is a lovely sweet not too rosey perfume. I love the cream, wear it by itself often when I am just going to the shops etc, has a lovely just bathed sort of smell.

I really enjoyed this perfume. It's a light, mostly rose-y smell. While it is not anything special, that's not always a bad thing. Sometimes you just want to smell like roses! It lasts about 5 hours. At first it is very rose-y and flowery, but then it becomes a more subtle sweet rose smell. To me, it also smells similar to Hollister's SOCAL (women version), but a less musky version.

Tested it today at the Body Shop and it was a pleasant surprise because I assumed that it would smell roses and nothing else. The rose is there but it ́s not overwhelming as I thought. A nice fragrance with sweet musky undertones. The sad thing is that it disappeared from the skin within 3 hours. It is the only negative thing I have to say about it.

This is literally pure, true fresh cut roses with a slight scent of lemon and smokiness from the spices if you concentrate on the notes. It is fresh and light on the skin, easily a spring/summer scent. Not sugary sweet like a lot of other rosy perfumes, this one stays natural and clean without becoming at all synthetic

I was hoping to fall in love with this one (I would love to find an inexpensive rose scent). However, to me it smelled mostly like roses and musk. Not unpleasant, but nothing really sexy or special about it. It smells the way you would expect your room to smell if you were drying a bouquet of roses for a week.

I totally love it! it's a less expensive alternative for Stella McCartney's "Stella Perfume" not the same Longevity and less notes than Stella's but it's somehow nice and a lighter one. it's now discontinued in Egypt I Found one of the last collections at the store, but Atlas Mountains Rose has the same smell.

One of those scents that you buy when you don't have much money because it is beautiful it smells great but affordability seems to go with not lasting that long. Then they discontinued it. It was lovely to have when I couldn't afford anything better though. I seem to love anything with spices in the notes.

I love this! Well, I love the Body Butter more than the eau de toilette, but I love the eau de Toilette, too. I feel thsi smell fades too quickly. Like, it's only noticable if you're standing very, very close to someone. Yes, I did buy it for my mom! It's just so classic and beautiful!

I have this body butter and I find it magnificent to match with many florals perfumes. I have worn the scent before and think it is quite nice but very similar to Stella. I would take my Stella over MRose anyday but it is a good buy for the price.

An inoffensive rose fragrance. Very honest to it's name, it is filled with Moroccan rose and I find the rose notes very similar to Stella, DnG The One Rose and Bvlgari Rose. A win win for such a low price. I am a rose lover btw :)

oh it's smells like a freshly cut rose, i'm glad my mom liked it (and i like it too, but too gentle of a smell for me)! and i got it half the price with a body wash...

I was longing for this edt, today I bought it. Now its on my wrinkle, smelling and smelling.. I'm thinking this is the best rose scent happy to be an owner of it.

I don't normally like rose scents, but this one is different. It's a much sweeter rose without the sharpness of some rose based perfumes. Perfect for summer.

The smell kind of grows on you.. The first sniff at the shop got me hooked. I really can't decide if i fully love this or not. I do miss it though.
