Rose Prick - Eau de Parfum

Not for Me

I was so excited to try it. An hour after I applied it I kept smelling this terrible smell. It was Rose Prick! It dried down on me and smelled putrid. My favs are Chloe and Prada Paradoxe for reference.

Disappointed

Smells very grandma like. A very, very powdery floral scent, it’s hard for me to pick up the smell of roses. I feel as if when I wear this I age +70 years.

I ADORE this scent!

I got a sample of this awhile back and bought the refillable mini immediately! That was running out quickly, so my husband (who also loves the scent on me) bought me the 100 ml size for Christmas!! I’m now using the mini for travel. Long lasting, and deliciously warm fragrance!

Very Disappointed

Sadly, will have to return this item. From the description, I was expecting a rich floral rose. Unfortunately there was no rose to it, it smells like an cheap old mans cologne. While it does have staying power, it is not one that I like at all. This is more of a mans item, as there is nothing feminine about it. Very sad, especially for the price :(

Obsessed.

I received a sample of Rose Prick today and am already obsessed with it. I have several small vases filled with a variety of cut roses from my garden and this perfume captures the same heady fragrance. It's the sun, the velvet petal, the cut stem, the thorn, and the aphid, all together. My new favorite.

This is terrible

I received a sample of this with one of my orders. When I first sprayed it, it was OK, nothing special but nothing too bad. Then the dry down. At first I was trying to find the terrible smell in the room. then I realized it was me. This smells absolutely rancid on dry down. One thing that is normally a good thing is it has a long life. For me this was awful as I just wanted the smell to go away.

overly powdery and old smelling

I wanted so badly to like this, I tend to like rose scents but this wasn't rose to me so much as powdery and just generic flower. It smells very old to me, and I typically like nostalgic smells but this hit me as musty and overly cloying.

Too Peppery

The pepper is so heavy in this. I normally love Rose scents, but this was not for me. The scent itself is so strong. I luckily got this is a sample with one of my orders. I’m glad I was able to try it without buying it.

Not Good at Allll!!!!

I am not oppose to the Rose if done right. Imagine going through your Granny's attic. Opening a antique perfume bottle. Spraying it, then choking on rancid rose smell. This is bad.

Tom Ford - the man - has created some of the most complex and interesting scents. If you know his history, you know exactly what I'm talking about. But Rose Prick and the other two Rose offerings really miss the mark. If you're looking for a complex true rose, try the Nest Turkish Rose. However, that's an oil, and a little trickier to work with. It is also a very heavy mature scent that will not work for everyone. Rose Prick has little staying power after the headnotes wear off. The sweetnes left behind is quite weak and a little immature. If you're looking for a lower price point but more effective scent, Rose Load by BoyScents is incredibly close.

Not so great

I don’t smell roses. I smell a very faint fragrance if I put my nose right on my wrist where I sprayed it. It smells inexpensive and common to me. I’m disappointed.

gorgeous sweet rose

it is sweet and powdery fragrance. smells like bulgarian rose plus sweet almond candy. there are other flowers into this fragrance that makes it very unique and beautiful.
