Rosewood - An Elevated Intense Cafe
After having received an enthusiastic recommendation from DrDre10, I got my nose on Rosewood Eau de Parfum and spent the day with it. It's another winner from a house with which I'm becoming increasingly obsessed.

SCENT: Unapologetically sweet and rose-heavy (obviously, I suppose) but somehow it doesn't grind you down over the course of the day. The fruit-rose in the opening gradually passes the baton to the vanilla-rose in the dry down. It's similar to Intense Cafe in much the same way Costco is similar to Sam's Club. If you have experience with both, the difference is clear.

LONGEVITY: 2-3 hours of forceful projection. Easily 10-12 hours overall. Waiting for this to dissipate is like waiting for gas prices to go back down.

SILLAGE: Depending upon the number of sprays, it'll either be the garrulous friend whose company you can't get enough of, or that same fellow when he's had too much to drink. Take it easy on the trigger.

BOTTLE: This marvelous stuff comes in a glass and wooden block that almost seems purposely designed to downplay the power of the juice inside. I dig that.

VALUE FOR MONEY: This is enchanting and powerful and available for around $130. That's a homerun value to me.

Rosewood: Sweet rose garden scent
Rosewood eau de parfum by Arabian Oud is a unique rendition of a classic scent DNA - bright rose and dark woods.

When I spray this perfume, the opening smells of bright floral rose and red berries with cedarwood sitting underneath providing a slightly dark, powdery foundation. The contrast in the opening is executed with mastery and it is immediately apparent that this perfume is something quite special. It smells familiar and comforting like a sweet floral fragrance yet pulls off this daring twist. By incorporating an intoxicating element of a darker cedarwood note underneath the sweet floral and fruity notes, Rosewood sets itself apart from similar fragrances that lack this level of sophistication.

As this fragrance sits on my skin, the vanilla reveals itself as the primary heart note after about one hour. At this point in the dry down, I smell a cozy vanillic sweetness with the florals sitting in the background all atop a powdery cedarwood note. Much of the darkness present in the opening fades and gives way to the smoother sweet notes of vanilla and dazzling rose.

Throughout the wearing of this fragrance, the woody notes remain present and easily detectable. As such, this perfume gives me the impression of eating sweet vanilla pastries at a picnic in a rose garden. It reminds me of the smell of the leaves and stems of the rose bush in addition to the rose flowers while the sweet vanilla makes this an entremely pleasant wearing experience.

When I wear Rosewood, it feels as if I am transported to a parallel dimension where magic is common practice. This is a fantastic scent profile that stands out in it's own distinguished category. This is THE Rosewood fragrance to try out and wear in the evenings, primarily for parties and social events where you want it to be noticed. It certainly has a way of captivating those who smell it on skin.

As for the performance of this perfume, the scent readily lasts 12 hours and develops throughout the dry down. It never loses its charm nor does its silliage reduce to skin-sent levels. Rosewood projects strongly and is detectable out to about a two-meter distance for the first 8 hours of wear. After that, it changes character significantly and transforms into a soft, vanillic bubble that extends to about a one-meter distance.

If it's compliments you are after, Rosewood certainly does this. I have had people track me down hallways and sidewalks to ask if it was my fragrance that smelled so good. When wearing this perfume, I often have the impression that it is "filling the room" with its enticing scent. It leaves a strong and easily detectable scent trail everywhere you go while wearing this perfume. You cannot wear this perfume and not attract attention from those who are fortunate enough to smell it on you.

The bottle itself does not have a great cap and is not nearly as special as the perfume's scent, so I am deducting 2 points for this. Although the box Rosewood comes in is quite sturdy and suitable for transporting this perfume securely. The sprayer is of acceptable quality but far from the best there is, average at best.

In closing, Rosewood is a fragrance I wear for special occasions due to its uniqueness and alluring profile. Rosewood could even be worn as a signature scent for those who enjoy its strong and captivating effects.

Gentle Orient
This fragrance is just great.
My fiancée and I were in Muscat, Oman a month ago and I really wanted to pick up a fragrance from this country as I am a fan of oriental scents. So we went to a mall, which had an entire floor full of perfumeries. The scent on this floor was unbelievable, pleasant oud that rose to the nose alongside delicate vanilla etc. When we decided on a perfumery, we were warmly welcomed and shown everything we could possibly test. All the fragrances were really great and you could feel the quality. But when I came across the fragrance Rosewood, I made up my mind straight away. A sweet, woody combination that I hadn't heard of before caught my nose and I fell in love with it straight away. I now use the fragrance almost every day for almost all occasions as it is not overpowering. But this is also my only negative point, you really don't smell the fragrance for long or strongly, no matter how many sprays. This means that other people hardly notice the scent on you. But I personally love the way the perfume smells and can't get enough of it. So for all those who like it rather discreet, definitely a buy recommendation:)

A star from the desert ...
An incredibly beautiful fragrance that is a feast for my nose. I've had it in my collection for a while but only now have I got around to writing a review. Arabian Oud, super quality and astronomical H+S..

Heavy and oriental, that's the fragrance for sure and 100% unisex.

As soon as I spray it on, it reminds me a little of Intense Cafe but much more sophisticated and without coffee. Instead, I smell a hint of strawberry in the opening or maybe more like that strawberry syrup you use for cocktails or lemonade. So swap the coffee for strawberry syrup in intense cafe. The scent is along these lines in the opening, but only briefly. In the drydown it becomes more than heavenly..

I can hardly describe how beautiful the drydown is. The fragrance really blossoms several hours after spraying it on. Intense cafe is almost gone and it becomes really sophisticated and very oriental, a super dense dark rose, with a drop of strawberry syrup, shines together with the most beautiful warm amber ever. A dry powdery cedarwood note makes the fragrance more than perfect and so heavenly. From now on the fragrance becomes very powdery, rosy and woody and has an incredible sillage. Lasts 12 hours + with super sillage.

Wonder how many reviews for this are under the Parfum version. This smells along the lines of Aseel Special Ed without caramel. A-/B+
