This is more unisex than reviews will have you believe, and it's not the same as all the other roses out there, it has its own character. To me, this is a perfectly sweet caramel rose for most of the wear, with some slight unlisted orangey note in the early opening that might blmake people think this is a copy of another fragrance, but I've smelled Impadia and Delina and Atomic Rose - NOT the same and annoying to see novices and so called experts be like "Dis smell like other sweet rose bc it's rose" STOP. It's most similar to Atomic Rose but very different base of vanilla and caramel. That said, if you're a man, and you don't want to be noticed because of this or remembered by it, then avoid it. This scent absolutely announces your presence with huge sillage, it's captivating, and a beast that leaves a solid scent bubble 6-8+ hours. I would compare the strength to Atomic Rose based on my quick test of that. Late drydown is more vanillic and very nice, skin scent remains for 18+ hours. Other roses don't have Initios tech, including the super dose of hedione, which pulls me into this brand - I seek max attraction with my very initional small (but growing) collection. nnEven with a sweet fragrance like this, the Hedione gives it lift and airyness, with massive sillage. Go easy on this one, 3 to 4 well placed sprays maximum, depending on occasion, and even 1 spray under clothes will radiate out.nnThis is my first rose scent and second bottle of Initio. Wearing this is very different for me but I love it so much and feel like it fits my personality, so im getting more and more comfortable with it. I think it's more versatile than it gets credit for as well, and this is def a fall/winter/spring fragrance but could wear on a cool summer night, it's not super cloying despite the strength and sweetness. nnOverall love this one, it's one of my favorite fragrances I've tried and I'm happy to have it and get to know it more, I feel like it reveals things about my personality you might not see through my muscular frame and bearded face, revealing passion and obsession, and making me stand out from every other man around me.
