Beloved Red Rose American Beauty for women

Beloved Red Rose is a heady tuberose that's haunting and warm. If you like Lumar Beverly Hills Aphrodisiac you'll want to give this a try. I find Aphrodisiac and Beloved Red Rose to be similar, however Beloved Red Rose is much less animalic. It's sort of a safer version of Aphrodisiac. I can't compare this "rose" version to the regular Beloved, because I haven't smelled it, but I can say that this is not a "rose centered" fragrance. It's tuberose, loud and clear.

A few months ago I posted a review saying I like this fragrance, unfortunately, I changed my mind. It's become too peppery on my skin. Smells like pepper and roses on me, which in my opinion is not a good thing. So I am pressing the "dislike" button on this one.

I tried this and a number of other celebrity perfumes at Kohl's. I sprayed each one in a different spot on each hand, wrist, elbow, etc. Wow did I stink when I got home! lol...but anyway, my point is, the only one that I still liked when I got home was this one. I agree that it's not straight up rose, and I'm terrible at discerning notes, but it smelled fresh, light and flowery, it lasted long, and I wouldn't mind smelling like this every day. Plus it is light enough that it won't offend anyone at work. I found a really great price on ebay and it will be a nice addition to my collection.

I bought this in my early months of perfume fanaticism. I liked it sprayed in the air, and tested on a strip. I only have a small mall, and a limit on in person perfumes that I can test, this being one. Oh, and it was on sale for 20% off.

Anyway. This is a most definete floral, and I'll start with what it's not. It is not powdery, or velvety, or oakmossy, woody, or very multi-dimentional.

What it is: A fairly linear perfume that is slightly more 'white' on the top and with a breath of spicy musk on the bottom--or maybe that is my own chemistry's spicy musk. It is sweet, the rose is a clear but syrupy sort that dominates the whole thing, but the perfume isn't RED ROSE enough to be a solifore (sp?). "Clear" refers the withouts that I mention above. The sillage is very polite, and the lasting power is very good.

Do I like it? Yes. I like the florals, and roses, and the sweetness of it all. It doesn't verge into sugar territory, which is good. Now--knowing what I know now, with the aresenal I have now, would I buy again? Probably not. Though I wear it infrequently enough that the 1.7 oz. bottle will probably last me 15 years.

This is a beautiful scent. I sampled it from Kohls and love it. It's not a typical rose scent (which I don't like) but reminiscent of a vintage scent I can't seem to place. It seems to have a spice and excitement to it. I could smell this cologne for several hours after and must have it. The smell of this just smelled great throughout.
