Topic: Looking for a skanky rose.

I have been searching tirelessly for the perfect dirty rose.

I have found some loves but I am still somewhat dissatisfied.

Here are some of the love but not quite there ones:

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.205.jpg Agent Provocateur Agent Provocateur *a little dirty but quite polite imo

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.4769.jpg Frederic Malle Cologne Bigarade *lovely but a bit too fresh

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.4660.jpg Hermes Eau D`Hermes *would be perfect if roses were added to the mix

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.2851.jpg Frederic Malle Une Rose *love it but not to wear frequently. the rose is a bit too strong

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.1436.jpg Jean Patou Joy *winter only for me




I am waiting for a sample of:

The reviews on BN are totally bashing this one but my nose shall have the last word! tongue

Anything I am missing??

I like it and it's a great fume but it has too much carnation for my taste.

Thanks for pointing it out tough! wink

Re: Looking for a skanky rose.

Through my search, I have just discovered:

The reviews on here and BN are very compelling!

Any thoughts??

Re: Looking for a skanky rose.

I was just looking into a fragrance called Black Rose by "Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab". I almost ordered it, but went with something else instead. It will be in my next order to them though. I'm looking for a "not too feminine" rose.

BLACK ROSE
Exquisitely melancholy. The background scent to an ancient exequies. Heavy, dark and floral: a blend of roses, with a touch of amber and musk.

Every day I die again and again I'm reborn.
