  |  I can see what they were trying to do with this perfume. They were trying to create the smell of real roses using artificial ingredients. Rose Otto is very greenish and doesn't smell like real roses, because of the process used to obtain the oil. So Iquitos tried to recreate the rose using other ingredients. If you try hard enough, you can imagine a real rose when you smell this perfume. But if you don't try hard enough, it smells like rubber. It's the aldehydes that give this rubber smell to it.I don't hate this perfume, but come on, this could never be considered a masterpiece. So I'll give it a neutral rating. 25 September 2008 |
 | Lots of great reviews, but I think this is too feminine. It really smells like a fragrance an older woman in her 60s would enjoy. And why must there be a rose fragrance for men? Cacharel also tried this, though that offering is better. Yes, the dry down is nice, but you can skip the feminine part and go strainght to the dry down by going with Michael by Michael Kors instead. 07 September 2008 |

| I did so much want to like this, odd-ball, mainstream fragrance. I so much wanted a masculine rose in my wardrobe. Iquitos is synthetic rose married to some very macho notes. Unique to the extreme, but unfortunately it's like Lillian Gish playing James Bond. I wore this out to a concert the first night I got it and someone looked at me and said, 'Granny?' I put it on my swap list the next morning. 14 April 2007 |
