In reply to SwePol. Mogador's lovely, isn't it?

In reply to irisfreak. I don't get much rose in Fracas. It's focused on tuberose and orange blossom (granted, those notes in a really ornate gilded frame!) and I don't think I've ever noticed rose in it.

In reply to Daisy.

Hi Daisy ,, thank you for that comment .. I agree with your lyric comment … rose in it is in the dry down and its rather lost amongst the other more powerful fragrances …

Agent Provocateur is quite the lovely dark horse rose fragrance in my book.

I felt compelled to make a comment on this as rose is my absolute favourite note. I am surprised that a number from La Parfums De Rosine didn’t get a mention in there somewhere, nor Andy Tauer’s incense rose (the ultimate spicy, smokey rose!) Oh, I so agree with your description about Nahema! I tried it for the first time at the weekend in pure perfume concentrate – what a delight. Sadly, it is way out of my budget range.

I stumbled into this lovely list of roses just now, but to my surprise I didn’t find either of my two favorite roses here: Attar de Roses and Mogador, both by Keiko Mecheri.

I find Mogador to be a deep, rich true red rose with velvety petals; Attar de Roses is in my opinion a beautifully honeyed garden rose in the sunset of a lovely June evening.

How do you feel about the KM-line roses?

And while I think of it: what? No Fracas?

That explains it! I wondered why I didn’t like Bellodgia anymore, having loved it in the 80’s.Thanks so much for giving SL’s Sa Majeste la Rose a nod. I’ve never gotten over my first sniff and the instant ecstasy it produced. I do have a problem with the Rosine line. Is it just me? I love the opening, the middle, but an hour later the drydown is either banal or just not what I want to smell for the rest of the day. Then there’s Rose D-Ete which has no middle or drydown but simply vanishes after 10 minutes.

Rosarium – if it can be obtained, because it’s been out of production many years – is divine. Was Shiseido and Serge Lutens. Sa Majeste is something like it, only cruder.

Thank you so much for this, Jessica! I love the new Perfumista lists.
