Rose Des Reves

Rose Des Reves

This has the most beautiful start, so alive, juicy and fruity. I’d fallen in love immediately, but as the fragrance progressed against the warmth of my skin, a smokiness came through. This smokiness is metallic and comes from the white oud which grows in smoky strength over time. I loved the vibrant sweetness in the opening (from the Bulgarian and Taif roses) but the metallic, musty, white oud makes it much less delightful. This haunting, white-charcoal smokiness is the kind of rose-based fragrance that a man could wear. Sillage and longevity are both brilliant. The dry-down becomes a resinous, woody rose as the smoke finally dissipates.

‘Rose Des Reves’ is the hot white smouldering charcoal of white oud on a woody, rose base.

Notes – Bulgarian Rose, Taif Rose, Damask Rose, Olibanum, Cedar
