Ambery dark rose

In my opinión one of the most interesting fragances of this Bran. It is happening something weird yo me with these perfumes. Before trying them i had some ideas about which Inés k would like and which Inés i dont... But i am failing all muy suposiciones!! ???? In this case i thought...one rose perfume more? Lyric, black aoud, noir de noir, une rose... I have already some rose fragances on my collection so i wouldnt even tried It.. but as It comes into a Discovery set i am just trying It now and... It is gorgeous! It is rose, yes, but a very different rose, very ambery and dark, but without the typical litera of patchouli and oud that these kind of fragances usually have... This is different to all my other rose fragances and is something that i could imaginé buying. The performance is better than in other f&m perfumes. I find It unisex and very versatile...

Portrait of a Rose

There are moments on one's fragrance journey when you feel proud of yourself for not succumbing to a scent. I circled around Frederic Malle's "Portrait of a Lady" for years. Reason ultimately prevailed.

The fragrance was too limited in its versatility for me. It practically craves an elegant gown and a corresponding occasion. Not a scent for every day. And it also had its unpleasant sides over time. For example, when its medicinal balm accord peeked through. I had a very similar experience of being captivated here with "Harem Rose".

I wouldn't consider myself a rose lover or connoisseur, although I certainly don't want to deny owning Oud Satin Mood. A completely different track. It surprisingly appeals to me from the gourmand side, which is not a given, as I usually can't handle sweet fragrances at all. Another reason was the perfect balance between woody and floral tones.

I have often been asked if OSM isn't too feminine for me. I like to explain that the moment the fragrance drifts into the feminine for me is beyond the 15th hour, and usually, there's already a shower in between.

In any case, I wouldn't need two fragrances of this kind, and the reason I digress briefly lies in the perfect balance as well. But what about? On paper, one might expect an ambered rose with Harem Rose. At the same time, others also see similarities to POAL here. Definitely not a typical ambered rose. Frankincense is not a theme here.

I enjoy sitting on the terrace in the evening, armed with a freshly applied fragrance. Even the slight temperature differences from the indoors give the floral work a kick that quickly provides me with an idea of the projection. And it was the same with "Harem Rose".

The moment I first caught its projection in my nose is an unforgettable moment. DKNY - "Fuel For Men" could also evoke this feeling of comfort. Often, fragrances require a waiting period, the alcohol must evaporate, or even unpleasant moments of creativity must be muted. Not here. The wheels in the thinking muscle between my ears worked at full speed from then on.

What makes this fragrance so pleasing? Hello, it's just rose. Given the restrictions of this natural component, possibly even recreated. It smells perfect, without any unpleasant undertones. What does perfect mean to me? So shaded that it is wearable every day and doesn't require a special occasion. It has signature quality and, for its kind, like "Amber Absolutely", game-changing attributes. This water should definitely attract noses that can't yet imagine wearing a rose fragrance. The versatility in daily use is clearly more important to me than an artificial progression when the
base tone is harmonious.

And there's not much movement at play here. What captivates me is the musky rose that resolves the riddle that has occupied me for quite a while. It's as if you were treated by a perfect rose that wants to sting you, and the skin is thoroughly disinfected with a captivating musk aftershave and a hint of vetiver. And this perfect balance between rose and musk has been found by Rasei Fort, such that it doesn't take special self-confidence to wear this fragrance as a man who is already imagining at least the first midlife crisis. I would rather suspect that the fragrance might be too masculine for some ladies.

But what about amber, benzoin, vanilla? Blessed are those who can smell what they read. For me, these are mere brush results. At no moment during my wear did they even remotely come to the forefront that they deserved a mention. What remains on my skin is a piece of pale rose that has long given its best.

This fragrance suggests to me that I should enter into a relationship with it; I just never want to be approached about this scent on the street. The name is truly not unisex! Perhaps that also partly prevented me from acquiring POAL back then.

Woody-rosy & relaxed masculine understatement: passionately chopping down trees, gifting roses, petting cats.

The most beautiful lady of the harem is modest, subtle, and doesn't like to be in the spotlight: an elegant, woody-floral scent.

Incredible beautiful amber rose
with balsamic-soft benzoin-vanilla
wonderfully spicy
delicately woody
and in my opinion underlaid with non-sacred incense
