Favorite Rose Scent

[Andrew_B.]

For those of us who don't mind smelling like an old lady , there are some interesting rose scents out there. So far my favorite is L’Ombre dans L’Eau by Diptyque. For me, it is like standing in a garden and smelling a real rose. I don't understand what the name is all about, though. This rose scent has no connection (for me) to the image of a shadow in the water.

Anyone else have a fav rose scent?

Voleur du Rose by L'artisan for its wonderful earthy rose and Rose D'Homme for its much softer, delicate rose/leathery accord.

Hmm, I wonder if the tester of L'Ombre dans L'Eau I tried was bad cause I thought it smelled terrible! Unwearable to be honest like very very old pot pourri that had been sitting in water for months. I'm not trying to be horrible, I really am serious! I hope the tester was bad!

[tigrushka]

Some faves of mine: Rose d'Homme, Voleur de Roses, Opôné, Parfum Sacré, CdG Rose, Rose Absolue.

[PigeonMurderer]

No. 88.

[verve]

The original Acqua di Parma. I know it's a fair way from being a pure rose scent, but the rose note in this is prominent enough for it to warrant a mention on this thread.

Hmmm, never heard of it!

Any other info?

I just picked up a 50 ml. EdP of Houbigant Aperçu. It's a beautiful chypre-style scent with a subtle, but definite rose note that just barely predominates over the oakmoss accord.

I recommend a sniff.

[CologneJunkie]

It's not exactly a "rose scent", but I really like the faint rose note in Burberry Brit. It's very subtle and blends harmoniously w/ the other notes.

[Rockford]

These fragrances have very prominent Rose notes, and they are some of my favorites:
- Czech & Speake No. 88
- Chanel Egoiste
- Guerlain Habit Rouge

[The_Giraffe]

1. Donna by Lorenzo Villoresi
2. Black Aoud by Montale

[mobyv]

on me: rose d'homme. excellent staying power
on her: fleur de rose bulgare: smells exactly like a rose with morning dew.

l'Ombre is a fabulous scent. It reminds me of the Garden of the Woman Who Could Conjure from Anderson's "Snow Queen". You can read my full review of it on my blog:

As for my own favourite rose scents - I like my roses dark and a bit spicy, dry, musky... Although I love the scent of fresh roses, I am yet to find a scent that mimics the fresh rose scent that I like. Here are a few of my most favourite rose perfumes:

Parfum Sacre (Caron)
Nuit de Noel (Caron)
Fete d'Hiver (from my own collection - Ayala Moriel Parfums)
Agent Provocateur

I alos love - but don't wear as often:
Black Rose (Goya) - very similar to Nuit de Noel, but it's vintage and I only have about 1/2ml left... Otherwise I will be wearing it more often.
Ta'if
Tocade
Cabaret (from my collection as well)
Ivoire (I like the leather and dry notes of this more than the green notes though)

[shifts]

My rose favs are Agent Provocateur and Montale Aoud Damascus.

[levente]

Personal favorites in this category are Voleur de Roses, Opone, Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet and Delon's Iquitos.

[scent_addict_2002]

I have fallen in love with the rose fragrance by Le Labo as well as the one by parfumerie generale. These are blended with other oils however. True rose would be more along the lines of opone.

[EnvYuS]

Voleur de Roses of course

[paintrman]

I know I just posted this reply on a different thread but...

My all time favorite rose is Creed's Fleurs de Bulgarie. It is a magnificent rose. When you apply it, you get a burst of deep red roses but after a short while, the ambergris kicks in and I love this part where the rose and ambergris share the stage. Finally, the rose departs and the musk and ambergris finish out the day. You heard correctly, this lasts all day! It starts out very rosey but quickly turns masculine with ambergris and musk. I love this very much and I always get a compliment. I laugh to myself knowing this was made for one of England's monarchy...can't remember which queen though. LOL.

Montale's Aoud Damascus is a truly ravishing rose. The earth will move.

Montale's Black Oud makes the other planets go haywire .

[laurent]

I have sampled the "malmaison" from Floris superb classic powdery finnish
last a long time.

[musclegod007]

Rose 31 by le labo is the only men's rose for me.

[docluv45]

Guerlain Rosa Magnifica

[apekrul]

So many great suggestions and no one who mentions my two favourites the beautiful, delicate Rose Poivrée (The Different Company) and the powdery, macho Musk (Lorenzo Villoresi)

I also think Ungaro III is worth an honorable mentioning!

[pluran]

Czech & Speake No.88
Montale Black Aoud
Czech & Speake Dark Rose
Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eau
Diptyque Opone
Serge Lutens Sa Majeste la Rose
Annick Goutal Rose Absolue
Aramis 900
Hammam Bouquet

Based on Scentemental's recent mini-review I expect to like Domenico Caraceni Pour Homme.

[spawny]

I liked Hermes's Hermesessence Rose Ikebana.

[Paradeiserl]

I don't know why the below displayed well rose scent frag, are not in the directory! An perfect scent!!
Are somebody of the admin/mods able to update the directory with this rose scent called "English Bouquet" by D. R. Harris & Co. Ltd. - London - U.K. ?

[sables]

My favorite rose scents are:
Rose d´Homme
Black Aoud
No. 88
and L´Ombre dans l´Eau.
I don´t get that much rose from Voleur de roses, maybe because le voleur has stolen the roses and left all the plum trees behind....

[MonkeyManMatt]

Pure - CdG Rose

and with rose as a vital component:
Ungaro III
Acqua di Parma
Villoresi Musk

MMM

Pure Rose: I think Lutens Sa Majestée la Rose is almost as beautiful as F.Malle's Une Rose, which seems a little darker still (personal preference).

Much brighter and glorious (in a bouquet) J. Patou: Joy, feminine, if you do not mind that (magically floral to me)! A similarly refreshing light rose fragrance: Paris! It is as good as any other YSL cologne. Comes in a very bright pink package. Green would be more suitable because of the scent's character! It's also marketed to women, of course, so don't take me too seriously. Summer heat allows us to run around in pink t-shirts also, in Europe, that is.

Rose predominant: There are several Montales recommendable for rose. Black Aoud is on my list 'to get'. Queen Rose - its feminine counterpart - is much brighter, but I only sampled it once and am not so sure of the dry down on my skin.
Attar has Rose toned down considerably - for those who want to keep their love for roses a secret between themselves and their partner.

The original Acqua di Parma. I know it's a fair way from being a pure rose scent, but the rose note in this is prominent enough for it to warrant a mention on this thread.

Ditto. The rose is quite noticeable in AdP Colonia.
A fantastic scent year 'round, but especially good in warm weather.
