Comprehensive list of Rose Scents

Nice thread Sofresh!

Im screaming BLACK TIE by Washington Tremlett, my favourite male rose to date!

Domenico Caraceni pour Homme

Ungaro lll

Creed FdB

AdP Colonia

good post,but which is the rose for men more masculine? nº 88 ?

There are LOTS of roses out there, but I don't know where to draw the line for boys...
I see you listed Une Rose, then maybe Annick Goutal Rose Absolue or Santa Maria Novella Rosa? Jo Malone's Red Roses might be a bit too feminine though. I imagine Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare by Creed can be beautiful on both men and women. How about Nahéma or Paris? Actually Lady Vengeance could perhaps be nice on a male too, if you pretend not to see the name.

Rose l'homme, Ungaro III, Sultan (swiss arabian perfumeries)...I own this its very good!, Tenere has a pronounced rose note in it to me...

Drôle de Rose - L'Artisan

I think that you may have misinterpreted what I previously posted - I mentioned Creed's FdB and not FdRdB.

Also there's Comme de Garcons Rose.

Thanks so fresh - these lists are a great idea!

Please add:

100% Love by S-Perfumes
A.maze by People of the Labyrinths

Hmm, then probably you would not have worn the Annick Goutal either.
--------------------------------------

I think I said FdRdB, but you are right FdB is indeed more masculine.

Sa Majeste de Rose - Serge Lutens

Tea/Rose - CB I Hate Perfume

Don't forget Hammam Bouquet!

You forgot HAMMAM BOUQUET !



.

I think someone recently mentioned that Zino by Davidoff was a nice rose based frag too.

Lauder for men
Rose d'Homme, Twill Rose - parfums de rosine
opone and l'ombre dans l'eau (diptyque)
montale - attar, roses musk and black oud

I don't believe I see Rose Barbare (Guerlain)

Definitely Black Aoud! Good call, radix023.

I find it interesting that Basenoters now seem obsessed with rose, while the general male [American] public shun rose as if it were a communicable disease. As a gardener first and perfume lover second, rose was/is a natural for me, but I'm always aware that it's still a bit taboo for men to smell recognizably rosy. But then, perhaps it's our mandate to change the status quo!

p.s. My personal favorite rose is currently LeLabo. I could bathe in it!

I have a tendency to really focus on the Roses in fragrances.

I don't know if other folks smell the Roses in Chanel Egoiste like I do, but to my nose, Egoiste is all about Roses. When I think about Egoiste, I think about Roses. When I wear Egoiste, I get Rose from the very first moment of application all the way to the far drydown, and even the next day. Egoiste used to be my Number 1, but now I have too many favorites to pick a Number 1. Mmmmm, Chanel Bois des Iles, a close relative of Egoiste, also has a very nice Rose!

On the other hand, you have Chanel Platinum Egoiste listed, and yet I get ZERO (zip, nada, absolutely nothing) Roses from Platinum Egoiste. But then of course, I don't get much of anything at all from Platinum Egoiste...

Another fragrance that is very big with the Rose, in my opinion, is Aramis JHL. When I wear JHL, I am always very aware of the Rose. Oh yeah, I am also aware of the cinnamon, carnation, fir, labdanum, sandalwood, and patchouli, but I am always extremely focused on and aware of the Rose. I love JHL - it is one of my favorite fragrances!

Acqua di Parma Colonia is another fragrance that, to my nose anyway, is big with the Rose. A real cologne with a prominent note of beautiful Rose! What more could a fragrance aficionado ask for?

Czech & Speake Dark Rose is one of the most beautiful Roses I know. What a tragedy that this fragrance is now out of distribution!

You already have Czech & Speake No. 88 and Domenico Caraceni Pour Homme listed, and how right you are to do so! What wonderful Roses!

I have to admit --- I love the Roses!

There is considerable rose in Acqua di Parma. It is lemon and rose flanked by various other notes.

Penhaligons Castile belongs here (neroli and rose), and so does Etro Via Verri, a unisex rose scent.
Was Iquitos on the list, I think so?

Basenoters have changed considerably. I remember a different situation in 2004/2005. It's like a coming out with florals now, and , interestingly, this seems to have begun with newcomers around 2006. Western men are generally never even caught sniffing at roses, or any bouquet of flowers in a vase. He gives the bouquet, she shows being delighted, and both think of something else, usually ! Men however created all the various sorts, oils, and perfumes during past centuries... Did they really not take any interest in their own creations??
Maybe I overlooked it, but in spite of the pink packaging Yves Saint Laurent's Paris is a happy, fresh garden rose which smells quite green as well (more, I think than Sa Majestée... does). It lasts well, too. Rose Barbare, I am very curious about: '....rose replacing peach in Mitsouko ? Francis Kurkdjian - has he done anything below perfect ? Half an hour into Baiser du Dragon : Bulgarian Rose, dark and deep!

sofresh, you are not the only one, I don't smell it either. Weird, huh? I also don't get rose in Castile...I just remember smelling neroli.

I agree, but according to the French school Mitsouko has been classified as a chypre too: a fruity chypre (see; Osmoz directory, or H&R Genealogy).

I didn't notice the rose in Acqua di Parma 'Colonia' when I bought it. But as soon as I wore it the duality of a classical cologne and a rose perfume disturbed me so much that I developed a headache. I gave it away and used AdP 'Colonia Assoluta' for a while. This is practically the same thing without the rose - quite a relief to me! Nevertheless the original Colonia is truly unique!

Tea rose from the Perfumer's Workshop. This... "stuff" has a longevity and silage comparable to no other I have owned. It is so cheap and has a color that makes you think it is radioactive. I am afraid it could give you cancer. And yet, I kind of like it as it is a one note scent: a VERY small aplication is perfect to layer anything.

I get dry, masculine rose in the the dry down of Spiritus/Land by Miller et Bertaux, though I know of other reviewers who say that they cannot detect the rose at all. It is, to me at least, in very similar territory as Oponê (from what I remember of Opon&#234. I like it very much, it was a fortuitous find for me.

I'd like to add Red Sea by M.Micallef. Lately I've been obsessed with rose, and I've tried most of the frags mentioned in this thread, but this one is by far my favorite.

Burberry Brit is a masterpiece with a strong character of rose.

Floris No. 89 is a woody rose scent.

C & S Dark Rose, and Rose.

Two Neil Morris scents that clearly belong here:

Flowers for Men: Rose

Vanille Rosé

I think that Ormonde Jayne's Ta'if (Damascus Rose) could be marketed as unisex.

Top: Pink pepper, saffron and dates
Heart: Rose oil, freesia, orange flower absolute and jasmine
Base: Broom (?) amd amber

Iquitos (Alain Delon)

No list of rose scents is complete without this gem.

Antaeus has a rose note to my nose which appears in some versions of the pyramid.

Notes (from chanel.com):
Top: Clary sage, Lavender
Heart: Patchouli, Sandalwood
Base: Amber, Rockrose, Spice, Honey

I totally second or third Iquitos.
Let's not forget Etat Libre d'Orange's Rossy de Palma.

Ta'If is a favourite rose for me, Rossy de Palma as well. Odori Zafferano is also e VERY rose prominent scent to my nose. It almost feels like a Montale.

Lorenzo Villoresi's Musk is a nice powdery rose.

This list needs Cannabis Rose by Fresh.

Amouage's Lyric for Men and Homage need adding to the list. Also Yuzu Rouge by 06130 has a great rose note underneath the citrus and cassis.
