On my second of Five Days of Amouage it is Eau de Amouage fruits and flowers and amber/sandalwood with a hint of green. Beautifully blended with none of the notes asserting, though I get a hint of peony. Perfect accompaniment for Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl tea (Thank you PurpleBird7!!) I looked at your previous fishy/rose url and found that thread very interesting, especially the possible explanations for it. I too get an awful fishy odour using the Weleda Wild Rose Oil as a base. I saw your tip on that via another thread, and found a local stockist courtesy of the lovely staff at Weleda UK. The first time I used it I thought I'd made a big mistake, but, as you observe, the unpleasantness lasts only a moment and disappears as soon as the skin starts to absorb the oil.
I don't generally get that fishy stench with rose notes, but I do see what you mean about Serge Luten's Sa Majeste La Rose. I don't get quite as close as fishy, but there is certainly a hint of it for a moment. The opening of Majeste is quite a hard, cold, metallic, rose to me, and not one I love as dearly as a lot of other roses.
Rose Poivre, which I've sampled three times now, just reeks of fish to me. I won't be trying it again, though I would be curious to smell it on someone else. I can't think of a likely candidate, though. I am an admirer of JC Ellana's perfumes on the whole, but that one eludes me completely.
By the way, I have a box set of samples from the potent Amouage range which I hid in the cupboard after a disaster with Eau d'Amouage. I suspect Amouage is an acquired taste. I think I'll give them another try next sampling day.
