This fragrance IS simply...
Well, I don't want to exaggerate, it's not all positive either, but like ck one, this fragrance is hard to categorize, difficult to break down into notes, and that's not even necessary.
It is there, and that's a good thing.
Overall, most of what I feel has already been said in the other comments, so briefly:
- does remind me of ck one, a bit even of obsession night
- less sweet than ck one, yet somehow "softer"
- not directly masculine, but still has more masculine-associated nuances than ck one
--> I don't mind it, but my beloved is not so thrilled
- the bottle and name fit very well, although the black in this case is not really mystical but rather a subtle "color" of uniformity... like bicycle tires or household appliances are often black...
- I don't perceive licorice, but it doesn't bother me, on the contrary
For me personally: Pleasant, refreshing and yet not annoying, I will probably buy it someday, but obsession night is higher on my list :)

Interesting idea moderately well executed
First, a small preface:
That there is not "the" rose is clear to me.
For example, I have never found a rose that even comes close to competing with the (albeit rather ugly) fragrant rose that my grandma has in her garden. I could recognize similarities to other roses, but I would almost prefer to eat my grandma's rose rather than look at it or smell it.
Such a delicious richness of facets is hard to express with a rose perfume. I don't find it so far-fetched to rely on fruity notes in this case.
Since I was in a bit of a hurry, I didn't even notice the "imaginaire" and thought, since the other fragrances displayed next to it had such mono-names, that it was simply supposed to be a rose scent.
At the very beginning, I was positively surprised. It was neither the usual artificiality in the attempt to chemically recreate roses nor a rose water scent - which I do like, but it differs significantly from the scent of a blooming rose.
I smelled an aromatic natural rose. Yes, a rose! Of course, one can also imagine a lot, but since I have often enough not been able to smell what was written on the label, I think it is not poorly executed.
A little later, unfortunately, it becomes noticeably artificial and, for my taste, a bit too opulently floral.
If you mix jasmine AND violet, it's no wonder, I think.
Around the same time, the scent begins to become powdery. After barely 2 hours, it is so dusty-powdery that I no longer want to smell it on my arm; I cannot or do not want to evaluate details or longevity accordingly.
I like patchouli and sandalwood, but based on the listed ingredients, I smelled more like freeze-dried flowers, stripped of their sweet floralness, combined with a dead, dusty hint of patchouli. What a shame. Nothing warm or friendly could be recognized.
However, since the perfume does not smell so strong that it bothers me when I have it on my wrist and don't like it, I will sniff it again soon, knowing the scent notes and with a bit more leisure.
However, I can hardly imagine that I will ever buy it.

Quite nice and a bit old-fashioned...
Right after applying, it wafts alcoholically and "old-fashioned" (that was my first association) into my nose. In trying to define it, I also thought of floral extract, but it’s not the typical floral note.
Unfortunately, patchouli completely slipped by me, but I did notice a somewhat scratchy counterpart, though I thought it was still that unknown something from the top note at that time...
Later, it settles into a rather typical vanilla base, in which I still perceive a hint of "old-fashioned," but overall I like it; however, it really is nothing special.
I find it hard to evaluate this scent, as it really didn’t evoke much in me.
So here’s a brief overview.
Pros: suitable for many occasions, unobtrusive, you can smell that it has high-quality ingredients (at least that’s how it seems to me; not even my stomach or head rebels with the top note, which happens with at least every third perfume for me), the base note is nice, simple, and yet varied, despite amber and vanilla not overly sweet.
Cons: I don’t like the top note at all, the heart note isn’t really convincing either, overall not impressive for the price.

Rebellious? Hmm, definitely adventurous...
The emptiness on the fragrance side and the scent notes surprised me a lot.
My impression after extensive testing of the sample:
At first, I smell a rosy fragrance that neither seems natural nor synthetic to me, something strange in between.
To my surprise, I find the scent impression incredibly modern, without being able to pinpoint it to anything.
A few minutes later, the typical powderiness of a rose fragrance sets in, and now the scent reminds me of juicy potpourri, in a positive way! However, it no longer feels modern... but has a fine hint of oriental.
Throughout the entire duration (easily 8 hours), I am surrounded by various nice scent notes, but cocoa is NEVER present. Not even anything remotely gourmand has crossed my path! Could the fragrance be a bit off? Strange.
Overall, I find the fragrance great due to its variety. However, the base bothers me a bit, especially right on the skin. It’s kind of scratchy-powdery...
I would rate the individual scent phases between 10 (the base on the skin) and 70 percent (the modern rose at the beginning), but since the fragrance is incredibly diverse, I gave it a higher overall rating. :)

Short and Sweet....
...however, not in the way Inger meant.
The scent lasts quite well on me (so nothing like “...and gone!”), even though I would rate the sillage as rather low.
But: Unfortunately, the scent did not meet my hopes at all. I can only smell the green tea with a lot of effort at the beginning; the scent is somewhat summery, but rather in a synthetic, deliberately adult way.
I think I smell musty lily of the valley - could that be violets suffocated in moss?
It is somewhat fresh, but more like an indefinable “musk with a hint of citrus” from the lab.
Such lovely associations as tangerine, refreshing lake, or even iced tea are missing.
Overall, it is “just okay,” independent of my expectations, but it tickles my nose, and after just 2 or 3 breaths on the wrist, a dull feeling spreads in my head. Otherwise, it would have received a few more percentage points.
Fortunately, it doesn’t smell too strong; otherwise, it would have been scrubbed off long ago (4 hours).
What a pity, what a pity. I was really looking forward to a refreshing “iced tea” perfume..
