I need roses! - Page 2
Question:
....and (I got this from RTamara41) underlay everything with Weleda Wild Rose Body Oil! (Available online from a variety of sources.) Answer: One of my favorite roses is Evelyn by Crabtree and Evelyn. It's a big, pure rose soliflore...no musk to speak of, and definitely not delicate (like, say, some of the Goutals are). Good luck on your rose quest! Answer: Have you ever tried Westwood's Anglomania? A beautiful oriental rose scent - in Germany it seems to be discontinued now, on sale everywhere :0( hirch_duckfinder!!! Love your Prez Avatar Answer: No.88 (Czech & Speake) - Has always been marketed as unisex Opôné (Diptyque) Voleur de Roses (L'Artisan) Black Aoud (Montale) Une Rose (Editions Parfums) Sa Majeste La Rose (Lutens) Rose Absolue EDP (Goutal) Rose Poivrée (Different Co) 4 Reines EDP (L'Occitane) Tea Rose (Perfumer's Workshop) Nahema (Guerlain) Parfum Sacre (Caron) Agent Provocateur Nuit de Noël (Caron) Answer: Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely check some of those out. Les Senteurs do the Rosine line and are generous with the samples so that was my first port of call. As for Agent Provocateur, I find it utterly disgusting. It smells like soiled undergarments. *shudders* Answer: How about Jo Malone's rose frag (I forget what it's called, sorry!! It's the only rose one so it shouldn't be hard to find). I've never smelled it but a lot of people say it's uncannily just like a big bunch of fresh-picked roses. Answer: In the Rosines, I have Un Zeste de Rose, which smells like the Tropicana roses in my garden. And I have Une Folie de Rose, which is the most feminine rose + patchouli I have smelled. I also liked Poussiere de Rose, which had some dried fruit and was quite stunning. Answer: Originally Posted by ozkat How about Jo Malone's rose frag (I forget what it's called, sorry!!

Jo Malone's cologne is called Red Roses. I have it and it is very nice. Sometimes I use the Red Roses with Pomegranate Noir for an outstanding combination. I have the RR body lotion too which I sometimes use below JoMalone Tuberose. I can heartily recommend the Caron Perfum Sacree. I'm wearing it today and the rose notes are sensational. It gives a really warm glow. Answer: I, like yourself, need my perfumes to be deep, rich and bold for the scent to make any real impression against my aggressive skin chemistry. I tend to adore roses in summer so have a few 'big rose' favourites that may work for you too: Crabtree & Evelyn Evelyn Eau de Parfum Guerlain Nahema parfum Body Shop Tea Rose perfume oil Montale Aoud Rose Petals (Black Aoud is a more complex rose blend) Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose (a little goes a long, long way) Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Eau Fraiche - this is a wonderful 'pink roses', sheer rose scent that is light enough to use as an all over body spray. Great in summer / warmer weather for an all over true rose scent without overpowering all. Woods of Windsor True Rose Eau de Parfum Jo Malone Red Roses bath oil (the cologne is very fleeting unless layered with other products / scents) For extra longevity I would advise you to layer your rose scented products. When I am in the mood for rose I tend to use my Jo Malone Red Roses bath oil and Woods of Windsor True Rose showergel, followed by Body Shop rich Rose body lotion. This way I end up smelling like a wonderful, huge bouquet of scented roses. In summer I often don't need to add a perfume. Answer: Stella McCartney Stella Rose Absolute. My favourite Rose. Seconding TBS Tea Rose oil for a wet red rosea after a summer rain shower. Anna Sui (classic one). Copyright ? 2006 - 2007 www.thankhealth.com Privacy Policy
