Up until this one I thought I knew what rose fragrances were, how wrong was I. This beautiful blend of Turkish rose with Frankincense and Patchouly is heavenly. Everytime I move around and catch random whiffs, it literally makes me stop almost and go “mhhhh😌”

Well done Monsieur Ropion, well done.

      I went to the Maison boutique near me to play with it and all the others from the collection! Sales associate was very helpful too.

    I too waited way too long to try this. It is stunning.

    A beautiful and wonderfully made perfume. But one I never really reach for. Its an enjoyable olfactory experience but definitely not my favourite rose.

      Can see why, the Frankincense and Patchouli can be off putting to some. Which would be your fab Rose?

      It doesn’t put me off (I love patch), it just sits in between other roses I would reach for first to wear in the wild, if that makes sense. My favourite rose is Penhaligon’s Liquid Love, it’s more a day time scent. My favourite ‘going out’ sensual rose is Guerlain’s Patchouli Ardent . Portrait of a Lady is one that I like to wear at home, where I can just sit with it and enjoy the ride. Lol

      That makes totally sense. For me it’s either PoaL or Pud Satin Mood when I fancy something different. Literally a co-worker liked PoaL so much she even asked if I had it here so she could put it on. Safe to say, now even more of the store smells of me😅 last time was OSM, where 4 other co-workers (not even kidding) put it on. Gotta love this hobby
