Very helpful Review

I was almost overwhelmed by roses and it would have been a beautiful ending!

These roses are overpowering and wonderful!

I absolutely wanted to test this fragrance. In search of something "rosy" for myself as a man, I landed on this site. Quickly ordered a sample! I could hardly wait, and as soon as the small, simple sample spray finally arrived, I tested it directly on my own skin!

The impact of this potion hit me unprepared!! I sank into a bed of wild rose petals!! A satisfied smile spread across my face. This state lasted for hours!

I don’t have a "trained" nose. Therefore, the other fragrance components mentioned above seem to me to be there just to ensure that the rose bouquet doesn’t come across as feminine and to give the whole thing a warm and soft yet slightly woody base. This is achieved brilliantly.

After a while, I unfortunately realized that this miracle elixir cannot be worn every day. It’s too precious for the mundane workday. You don’t just spray this fragrance on. This experience is meant to be savored.

Nevertheless, I will treat myself to a bottle. And even if I only wear this essence at home for myself, to lie again for hours in an imaginary bed of very masculine rose petals.

I would be very happy for tips regarding other similarly brilliant rose fragrances for men. I believe I need to create a "fragrant" rose garden.

Yes, basically the only accurate description of this scent - in my opinion. It's just that I don't like it at all. I don't want to smell like that.

Try Twill Rose, Rose pour Homme, or Rosissimo from Les Parfumes de Rosine. I'll also get you a vase for the roses!

Dark roses for men can be found from Montale: Black Aoud, Aoud Flowers, Steam Aoud! Not quite as dark: Geranium pour Monsieur (Frederic Malle), Flowers for Men: Rose (Neil Morris), Touaregh (IlProfvmo), as well as the men's fragrances from Parfumerie de Rosine.

Yes, definitely try Dark Rose! It's totally unisex. Whether it suits you is more about your personality than your gender. But you’ll also find powerful roses that will overwhelm you (while you enjoy it;-)
