|  A rose from the crypt, this one. Dank, earthy, moldy. A great rose for Goths, or for a ghost bride at Hallween trailing ragged veils pinned with dried roses. Or for Sleeping Beauty in her wildly overgrown forest bower that never sees the light of day. It's an interesting fragrance (rose + patchouli + ???), but it has too many gothic costumey associations for me to give it serious consideration as a wearable fragrance. Also, it's a bit too masculine for me. I like the way it smells, even though I don't want to wear it myself. I suppose it's just not me. 07 July 2009 |

|  Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The opening accord of dry, yeasty rose and patchouli is exquisite. Then, after I've worn it for five or ten minutes, the patchouli and rose mutate into…cannabis smoke. That’s right: it doesn't smell like a head shop - it smells like my brother-in-law's bong! When the drydown arrives, two or three hours later, it's a lovely arrangement of woods, but what Voleur de Roses does in the middle is beyond my tolerance. I won't appear in public smelling like I've just smoked a whole pound of weed. 16 June 2009 |

|  I love this, although pitched as a masculine scent-I find it works well on me. It has to be the darkest rose scent I've sampled. Very "death by roses" to my nose. If Morticia Adams was wearing a fragrance, I'd think it would be this one. I don't care for rose frags as a rule, but I can't help falling for this one. Very Vampish, deadly beautiful. Love it! 03 March 2009 |

|  VdR smells like Montale black oudh light! and it's so yummy and well crafted that im ok to let go of black oudh. but wait, black oudh has oudh and patchouli going with rose..and theres no oudh in VdR...hmmm..yeh..i guess thats what makes it Black oudh light! the oudh is missing. :) VdR is a sumptous & gothic Rose based scent with a damp earthy note of patchouli. being a "big" time patch lover, i can tell it's quite different from the rest(imho). there is this eerieness to it...a dark gloomy texture which if one were to close their eyes could easily easily picture a lone rose plant, with roses bright red in color, in it's peak of bloom growing on a damp, freshly ploughed earth, deep brown in color....VdR smells like cool wind carrying this aroma till the end...a must have for any one who is lookin for a unique rose based scent. 11 February 2009 |

|  I knew that was plum in the opening! This is an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL scent. Magical, ethereal and earthy. I bet Tinkerbell smells like this. The Disney cartoon one, not the Julia Roberts one. She played a weird Tinkerbell. 01 February 2009 |
