Multifaceted, innovative rose blend
Sampling Aromas de Salazar A Rose by Many Names, a smooth rose scent that for me lingers between a sumptuously sweet, spicy rose and a more sober, almost masculine signature scent. It smells thoroughly rosy but not in a powdery or obtrusive way, with additional notes of tobacco, leather, citruses, oud, spices, and vanilla. It has just the right pinch of sweetness to counter the various spicy, animalic, and resinous notes. The notes seem to be in harmony as the blend feels complete and carefully conceived, the result of an idea being patiently realized through tweaks. It’s more wearable than, say, the sharper, more challenging, even metallic Bitter Rose, Broken Spear from the D.S. & Durga HYLNDS collection, and more easygoing still than Aramis Calligraphy Rose.
Rather, the he immediate comparison I get is Issey Miyake Noir Argent (sort of a modern men’s fresh spicy signature scent) blended with a jammy spicy rose combo. The result is a creative blend that, like A Day at the Barbers, smells unique to me, an expression that I’ve not really come across before. It smells sophisticated and high-quality, among the very best of the house (that I’ve tried so far).
A Rose by Many Names is priced at $250 for 50ml, so on the higher end of the catalogue, price-wise, but performs very well. It seems to be sold for now at only the house website but I believe that it will be available at Perfumology, ultimately.
