Rock'n Rose

I must disagree with a majority of reviews, so here goes: I really, really like it. The opening of Rock and Rose is a fruity type rose mixed in a slightly minty envelope. As the fragrance dries down, I get a dusty rose musk and it seems to have a hint of what I call marshmallow sweetness. I appreciate this fragrance for not being the typical rose fragrance. It's not cloying, not overly sweet but feminine and pretty without being girly girl. YAY! Rock and Rose exhibits a slighty tart note reminiscent of a granny smith apple. This is a plus for me as it seems to turn a tad acidic and burns off some of the powder. It has excellent sillage and lasting power on me, coupled with being the perfect 'perfume weight'...not too heavy, not too light. Perfect for getting just the right amount of attention. The more I use it, the more I fall in love! Rating 8 out of 10, only because it takes me a minute to acclimate to the slightly powdery nature as I usually can't stand powdery fragrances.

This was my late teens / early twenties perfume. It was absolute love at first smell. I saved up my money and felt like a proper 👸🏻 taking this home. It’s been 12 years but I remember this being a really strong rose mixed with bubblegum and some sparkly fruit. It was fantastic and my soul breaks that this was taken off the market. This perfume made me discover my love for roses 🌹 This is perfect for women in their 20s and 30s. The kind of scent you carry in your leather bag when you go out. This is The Ramones, glitter eyeshadow, leather jackets, high heel leather boots, pink aviator sunglasses, animal print bra and red lipstick. Add in a boyfriend with a 1950s greaser type of look.

This is really the perfume of my dreams!!! It has just enough rock and rose combined to make it the perfect perfume for the special intimate moments in your life. It's the kind of perfume that will make your special moments last forever and it just sticks to your best memories and never lets them go. Oh my god, it really makes me feel special and feminine and also kick ass sexy at the same time. I also like the fact that I won't feel it while I'm wearing it but all that are around me will feel the smell of it. This is the perfume that will make your most loving moments most definitely ROCK ON!!! :)

Valentino's Rock 'n Rose is deliciously sexy it opens with a blast of Black current and sparkling bergamot dries with a sweetness of gardenia with edgings of orange blossoms Heliotrope adds to the candy chewing gum kind of scent it has a cloying texture I don't smell any evidence of Lily-of-the-Valley in this i don't seem to detect it there's a nice diluted rose note that dries the middle section. I like the vanilla drydown not too sweet with a musky overtones. I don't seem this as edgy feminine yes it's more girlish then edgy I love the color combination it has an 1950's Parisian feel very chic.

This is just GORGEOUS and I am so annoyed they have stopped selling this in the UK. I don't agree with the idea its a 'young'scent - young at heart maybe - or the respectable lady who likes to dress in leather and ride her motorbike at the weekends. It has a lovely top note which I find not too floral - something in there stops it being too 'mumsie" and it dries down to a va va voom sort of smell . Without fail when I wear it I get compliments from men and woman -its an 'unusual' smell -not generic- more of a 'what's that you're wearing"? rather than 'oh your wearing.... aren't you"?
