Strong but not oriental! No wood, no patchouli, and yet somehow grounded. No incense, no sweetness. I'm thrilled! The Lanc么me "Rose or die" goes in a very similar direction, but there the rose is a bit friendlier/brighter.
@DasCroe *sigh* aaaah, the ML with you! Dark and sexy with rose, tea, and ethereal greens sounds wonderful. I'm in exactly the same situation right now with Tobacco Rose from Papillon Artisan Perfumes.
@Ooonidda I've been looking for something like this forever, and I found it with "Rose or Die" by Lanc么me, but this one is even darker & sexier. The tea is essential; I missed it as a counterbalance in Perris "Rose de Taif" (which I'd give 3rd place).
Congratulations! And not discontinued?! Better mark that in your calendar 馃檪馃榾
Rose without oriental notes but with black tea sounds GREAT
