Metal Flower

This is one of my favorite perfumes. 10/10. And that is a total shockers. I am not normally a fan of floral scents and generally not rose. Like, 98/100 floral forward scents are a hard pass for me. Yet this one IS floral first... and has been in regular rotation for almost a year! It's sharp and bright and acidic and mettalic and floral all at once. I feel incredibly alive when I get a wiff of it. I imagine it being worn by a female James Bond in her ball gown — gorgeous and sultry yet mysterious and a total bad ass. This is the scent I go to for an evening pick me up -- its Friday night, I'm feeling a bit tired but want to motivate and have a bit of a sexy edge — metal flower. Black tie event? Metal flower. Morning and I want to feel confident and beautiful and badass? Metal flower. Love love love.

Metal Flower is a drop-dead gorgeous rose, and an instant love for me. It's a dimensional, heavy rose-patchouli. Green notes and aldehydes prevent it from becoming suffocating. It's the smell of an enchanted garden at twilight. There are no "metal" notes here, but it does have a cool, aloof quality. In its later stages it does get a touch soapy, but it never becomes overly clean. The Harmonist is pricy (though refillable bottles make repeat purchases more reasonable after the initial investment), and I'd suggest Juliette Has a Gun's Lady Vengeance as a reasonably similar alternative, though Metal Flower is certainlty darker and more sophisticated.

I agree with the post below 👇🏽.... this is one of my most favorite rose-centric fragrances of all time! It's absolutely gorgeous!!! It's fluffy, velvety soft petals yet grounded and assured. The way this wears.... ahhh man ...this is just something to be experienced! I feel soo expensive and feminine when I wear this. I would say that testing this through a sample will NOT do this frag justice.... she deserves to be sprayed at full atomizer pressure. ..... Easily in my Top 5 for Life!

WOW! I am very impressed with this fragrance! This is by far my favorite musky rose fragrance out of all I have. The 3 roses combine with the green notes to harmonize so well. The white musk is heavy enough to earn the name Metal Flower. Lasts all day and fills my office. Very impressed as this is the first bottle in this house I have purchased, now to see whats next on my list here. Silage: 10/10 Quality: 10/10 Presentation: 10/10 10**** all the way!

This reminds me of Parure by Guerlain and I love that! It is an elegant chyphre, which smells like a beautiful Parisian woman on a spring day. It is sophisticated but not at all cold or unapproachable; it is too sexy to be stuffy. Young or old could wear this but you have to appreciate a green/rose chyphre that isn’t at all sweet, gourmand or girly.

I got a 8 ml from Scent bird and it was love at first sniff but it smelled so familiar and couldn't place the smell until I went through my collection this is an expensive version of Chloe edp, I like Metal Flowers better but my pockets will settle for Chloe edp instead.

One of the most beautiful Rose fragrances I own! Strong and unapologetic .... The opening is a bomb of Patchuli , that transition to a beautiful brigth Musky aldahydic ROSE bomb!! long lasting & moderate-strong sillage!

Such a great take on rose. I am so into that aldehyde and rose oxide at the beginning. The name perfectly describes this scent profile. Very mindful very demure!

It's a freshie. I loved it on my skin and clothes. Thankfully, my nose does not pick up a metallic scent. I had a 2 ml sample. This will be a future buy.

2001, rose potpourri. has the woody, musky feeling that potpourri does. lasts a decent amount of time. dry in my opinion.

Wow, GenevaX below described it exactly for how I feel about this gorgeous, gorgeous Rose Metal! Before I read that review, I immediately thought to myself: "this is sneaking out of a stuffy formal gala wearing a seductive yet classy black evening gown, running barefoot in an enchanted garden at around twilight looking up at the distant shiny metalic stars". Then I read that review and yes, wow! ✓Instant love ✓Drop-dead Gorgeous Rose ✓No metal but a cool quality ✓drys down soapy, but not overly clean Her performance is fantastic. I get a whole day's worth (dawn to dusk). Some find her Beautiful, others Pretty, others think of her as Sexy, but everyone likes her and think she's pleasant even if they just haven't gotten to know her.

Metal Flower is a beautiful perfume. Cool and reserved at first, MF opens up like a rose in the sun and reveals loveliness. This is a realistic rose with a good dose of musk, luckily the musk doesn't dominate. Just a tiny bit soapy in the dry down, MF is a very wearable unisex fragrance, and work safe, too. Sillage and lasting power are modest at best, like so many other modern frags. Considering what this perfume costs, better sillage/longevity would be nice. Before receiving a carded sample I was unaware of this company. Their fragrances are expensive, and the bottles are starkly beautiful. Well made and designed, I still can't justify the cost of a full bottle. Which is even more reason to enjoy the sample!

Opens with an airy and bright orange blossom. The rose is clean, aquatic, and dewy. Yet not green. The rose is fully formed, but not heavy or dry. It's light but not delicate. Elegant for sure. "Sterile" is the word another review mentioned and I agree. I totally get the vibe from the name without a literal metallic note. Though they could have gone there if they wanted. Very nice for every day and maybe even office appropriate. Fresh, modern, a little femme leaning. Superb for spring- floral but has an airy coldness. A slight soapy note but it's not taking up too much space in the composition.

I would never have expected to like this, as neither rose nor ylang are favorites of mine. But somehow, this comes across as fresh and fruity, rather than too sweet. The initial spray is reminiscent of raspberries, then settles into a fresh green rose. I don't really smell anything metallic, but there is a coldness to it that's more an impression than a true scent. If you love roses, or if you want to like them but have found them cloying so far, maybe give this a try. Small edit: I have to be careful not to get this on my clothes. On fabric the rose note becomes overpowering and inescapable.

This is a very pretty, watery, musky, aldehydic rose fragrance. I see it has green notes listed, however I get more of a watery rose than a green rose. This is in the same vein as Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela, however Metal Flower is a bit deeper. I consider this to be quite feminine leaning and perfect for Spring. Performance on me is okay, lasting about 5 hours. I like this a lot, it's very pretty, however it's also very overpriced for what it is.

Opening does smell metallic thanks to the aldeydes, and thereafter, they lift up the rose and jasmine. I love the use of orange blossom which is used to balance and smooth things out. Drydown is rose and musk. I can see why this one is rated highly. Leans feminine, would be great on a lady Performance seems to be good as usual, but I'll need to test further to confirm. -------------------------------------------------------- Scent 7.5/10 Performance TBD

I guess I’m just an aldehyde junkie. The way this sparkles is just.. incredible! Almost mouthwatering tartness overlaying something powdery soft and musky. I got a decant maybe 3 years ago and I like it as much as the first time I wore it. Maybe it doesn’t scream “me” but it sure is special. I feel like as far as rose fragrances go I wish this was what was popular over something like delina. It feels more elegant and nuanced.

Opens bright and fresh. The fragrance proceeds in a shower-fresh manner which is quite appropriate for many occasions. I love the opening. - It smells like a bright sweet and clean rose. The patchouli comes through in the dry down and to be honest, I don't enjoy that part. I like the fragrance overall. I would like it much more without the patch. fbw anyway.

I thought something called Metal Flower would introduce a new and interesting olfactory experience, but unfortunately, it’s mostly a fairly conventional rose scent. It’s a very nice rose, but not particularly interesting. It also includes some soapy aldehydes with a slight metallic glint. But for most of its life, this is a straightforward, pleasant rose.

I am really appreciating this fragrance. It has staying power yet it’s not overpowering; at the end of the day I still smell it but softly. I definitely get the white musk with a touch of patchouli. I would wear this year round and plan to experiment with layering it with other fragrances. 9/10!for me🥰
