Majestic Rose

Majestic Rose (62N403, April 2016, USD 165 for 45-50 ml. left) First Impression I know, my buying price is slightly high. I don't know, but the scent is calling me. So I am bidding myself to try. I end my quest for Rose+Oud fragrance here. So Majestic, like the name. The Rose is prominent in dusty manner. With a bit medicinal oud. But when I mix together. This is truly Majestic, the Raspberry is such a jam, to sweeten the scent but not extremely. As first impression, this is worth the price. Zegna's Indonesian Oud, Tom Ford's Noir de Noir or Jo Malone's velvet rose and oud. They are nothing compare to this. 10/10, thank you for being friend of me. ===== Revisiting note on Jan 24, 2024 Yesterday, I decided to wear this one. I am happy.. 6 months pass and fragrance still hold up well. I wish it keep going strong.. The miracle of Majestic Rose lying in Woody Oud - Fruity sweetness. It blends in style that indistinguishable for each individual component yet cohesively stay so well. The opening is strong in metallic aspect, I don’t really perceive much of leather accent. The body of Beautiful Jammy Rose build strongly, additional of Fruity sweetness is make this scent more Jammy sweet rose, but it didn’t hit the territory of Sticky rose, much much still airy. The one that ground the scent was light woody oud accord that leans woody and sandalwood bark like. Yes, it is leans dusty. Dusty wood and and airy jammy rose stays cohesive well together with moderate soft projection. It linger 1-2 foots and scent follows wearer. The scent lasts good 6 hours on me before turns into soft dusty wood with saffron aspect. All of this, stay in way of elegant blending. It is not hitting hard to smell and still fairy pleasing. But it is not definitely a true safe choice to wear but this still much safe wear from olfactive of rose & oud in woody manner. My friend, perceive this as an incense scent, I think it is understandable. Mild Bitterness undertone, with powdery woody accent can reminds of Incense sometime. It’s common for South East Asia. Our incense smell like this. I, then. Would reserve this for special wear now. I unlock her now. The airy-yet-linger blend like this should be spare in a place where you don’t want massive projection buch linger around you do add elegant, majestic and can’t-be-brother for wearer. Like the name of this fragrance. Majestic Rose. Score: remains 10/10 Projection: moderate Longevity: 6-7 hours Classfication: unisex Summary: Elegant & Majestic Woody Oudy Rose ===== Remark on Majestic Rose; December 22, 2024 I rewear Majestic Rose. I have just Brought a full bottle of Guerlain Oud Nude. And I think there share similar concept of dry woody nagamotha oud with Rose and Raspberry. Oud Nude is reversed composition of Majestic Rose. Being base heavy from the get go. Majestic gives us a spicy saffron jammy rose first then slowly transit of Gaical-Woody scent in later stage. The floral tint remains on wood. I like it slightly less but still appreciable. 8/10 INCI : ALCOHOL PARFUM / FRAGRANCE AQUA / WATER • CITRONELLOL ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE - DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE • GERANIOL: FARNESOL - LINALCOL • CINNAMYL ALCOHOL : TRIS(TETRAMETHYLHYDROXYPIPERIDINOL) CITRATE • CITRAL: EUGENOL BENZYL ALCOHOL • LIMONENE • HYDROXYCITRONELLAL • Cl 15985 / YELLOW 6 • Cl 19140 / YELLOW 5• CI 14700 / RED 4.

Majestic Rose took 3 wearings for me to realize how truly majestic it is. An absolutely gorgeous rose mixed with a smoky guaiac wood plus oud and saffron and just enough raspberry to sweeten it a bit which makes it slightly on the feminine side of unisex. Don't get me wrong it is still unisex but more female friendly than a lot of ouds of this type. It is sort of like a slightly sweeter and more rosy and smokier version of Oud Ispahan. They are fairly similar but this one has way more rose. I love Oud Ispahan but I may possibly like Majestic Rose even more. The more I wear Majestic Rose the more it grows on me and I find it to be one of the best and most interesting western rose ouds I have ever tried. Lasting power and sillage is outstanding. I can't get enough of this beauty.

It's so strange how a fragrance you thought is more suitable to other people or perhaps you believed that it's not your type began to hit on you. Slowly you gravitate to this spell the fragrance has on than you until you can't resist it anymore and be damned with the price, the heart rules the mind and you finally bought it for yourself! Yes you fell in love with it very much to your surprise! Bought Majestic Rose for my mum initially. I thought it to be quite mature fragrance and a tad bit too strong for me but now it's just perfectly right! A bit overwhelming at the beginning but the sillage and longevity on my skin is wonderful. It's just a very flattering feminine fragrance. Just my personal opinion.

Majestic Rose is exactly what it proclaims to be. A wide, arms open, come embrace me rose. It is lush, handsome and beautiful at the same time. Feminine? Masculine? You decide. On me it is lush, velvety and has a definite come hither quality. All the while, it is still holding something back, Is it the oud? Is it the guaiac wood, is it the saffron? A mystery only you can solve. I am entranced and taken back to more evocative times, which I can't even remember. What I do know is that this is a superlatively blended , mysterious and yes, majestic rose. 9/10 Sillage is moderate to heavy Longevity on me is long lasting

Gorgeous raspberry all the way through. The rose and the oud are quite smooth along with the saffron. I agree its close to many other rose oud combos, but with a kick of raspberry. It is quite a western take on an oud oriental, good place to start if strong ouds are a bit too much for your liking. I really like it, dunno if I would pay retail price for it, simply cos it is very expensive and I need to pay rent. But maybe Ebay:-)
