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"?

This scent is the only one I own that when I'm wearing it, men turn their heads and ask, "What are you wearing?" Complete strangers will stop and say, "You smell divine." On me the rose scent warms up until it is heady and fragrant, and then the bergamot and vanilla warm and complement each other for a beautiful, subtle hint of seduction. I like to wear it when I go out to rock shows and wear my leather jacket and Frye motorcycle boots. It perfectly balances toughness with sweetness.

This is one of my favorite perfumes because it is different from the others. It isn't too sweet, or too flowery like some others. It has just the right amount of fruit (black currant, bergamot) mixed with the elegant florals (orange blossom, rose, gardenia)and just a touch of sandalwood, and vanilla to make this a well rounded, rich, full fragrance experience like no other. I highly recommend this scent for it's delightful differences.

Blackcurrant and rose make a fantastic pairing, here. Truly rose-centered as the name suggests, but not a soliflore. Feminine and even a little vintage, but not musty or potpourri-like. Used up my first one many years ago but I think about this often. I'm pondering buying another bottle (this perfume is hard to find so one is relegated to Ebay and such to get it!) The solid perfume I own just doesn't scratch the itch.

It's really floral with some cherry and a little bit powdery to me. It's strong at first but then fades to an even more powdery rosy smell, I love it. It's a girly yet sophisticated scent. I recently bought Rock n Rose Couture and still waiting for it to get here by mail. It's supposed to be a little stronger and slightly different than the original one so I might give this one to my daughter.

I love this one for weekend, evening or casual wear. I doubt it was intended for the office. It's rosey without being too rosey/floral, so it's not overly mature. I tried Dolce G's Rose The One and it was too much floral compared to this. Complicated and sexy, apply sparingly for Church. It's also a great fragrance to wear under sweaters or other heavy layers.

I stumbled upon this one dusting my vanity 2nite and I must say it is a forgotten treasure... It is both classic and modern at the same time with its soft and powdery scent... Sum1 else here said it reminded them of Tresor and u know wut??? I agree... Its just a softer sweeter, less-cloying version...Kudos 2 Valentino!!!

I am in love with this perfume. It smells so nice on my skin and it lasts quite long on me. It is not a scent that you know its THERE and it hits you into your nose like a fist, its a scent that lingers and "melts" into your own natural smell. Its very delicate and feminine.

Charming and nice smell, sweet and gentle. But someone can smell heavy. I was really impressed. It's my favorite. I highly recommend everyone who likes sweet (not spicy or fresh) scent! By the way, it's a really hot fragrance. Recommend for winter or summer cold days.

I recently acquired this scent. I am gonna wear it to the office tomorrow and definitely report back. I am interested in its longevity and appropriateness for office wear and my chemistry. looking forward!!!!!

Another of my recent purchases. I love how this scent is gentle and bearable. Its soft but not forgetable. It is warm and a pleasure to wear in the tropics!!!

Sweet and feminine, but with an herbal/floral kick! It’s calm enough for work without being boring. I wouldn’t mind trying this again someday.

I like it.I also like to mix parfumes. I like this one with Paul Smith Rose - it balances each other out.Sweet&Cool down,morning rose.

Clears down to a soft powder rose scent - beautiful. Similarities with Stella Sheer (original) as that had a powdery-musk finish.

Rock & Rose its a sexy feminine perfume and i fell in love with it when i smelled it first time and hubby likes it as well.

I am not a young, rock-princess, but I do love this one. not overpowering at all. It wears well.
