Rose fragrance

I buy Bulgarian rose absolute (in alcohol dilution, as it remains stable for longer) from Farfalla every now and then. I have also tried Turkish rose absolute (from Primavera). The Bulgarian one is a little sweeter and smells more like honey.
I can definitely recognize real rose absolute immediately after spraying on "Vedette". There is a good amount of it in there. There is also a kind of dark pepper in the air. (it's allspice, in the list of top notes, bay allspice has somehow become bay rum)
The allspice gives the opening some power and edge, but the intoxicating roses quickly gain the upper hand again (after about an hour I no longer smell any allspice).
After about 2 hours, the fragrance becomes somewhat cooler, more watery, fresher, cleaner, and the absolute runs out of steam and the synthetic peony takes over. But it does not become soapy.
I can't find anything "grubby" in it at any time.
I can't smell any of the specified base notes, the roses just gradually fade. Therefore, it is not a heavy fragrance, if you prefer to have roses around you all day (but it doesn't last that long), you can wear it without hesitation even in everyday life.
