Rose Nacree du Desert Guerlain for women and men

سعید جان یادت رفت بگی که چه جعبه زیبایی دارن...البته بوشون کاملا عربیه....

تنها فرق این عطر با عطر های رز و عودی که ریختن تو بازار اینه که:
اولا کیفیت ساخت فوق العاده بالا تره.
مخصوصا تو کیفیت بوی رز و مصنوعی نبودن بوی عودش
دوما قیمت خیلی بالایی دارن.
وگرنه اینکه فکر کنید یه بوی دیگه ای دارن نیست.

another very similar Rose-oud-saffron, like some other niche ones; seems like they just copy-paste the same composition!

After sampling Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme that won my heart I was sure that was going to be 'my' rose-oud scent. And then some little perfume devil whispered to my ear: but you haven't tried the other ones! After thorough research on the net I came with a list of rose and oud combinations. Somehow Rose Nacree du Desert was on the top of the list. I think apart from Bond no 9 NY Oud, I smelled all most popular rose and oud scents. And all the way through sampling and sniffing there was only one rose I kept constantly coming back to: Guerlain's RNdD. It's mysterious, a bit heavy, dark, it's extremely sensual and erotic and I love it for all these qualities. It's rose all way through, but this rose is a socialite surrounded by her good friends: oud, saffron, cardamon and what I guess is benzoin. For me it's the absolute winner, not only on the top of rose+oud combinations list but also on the top of my 'to buy' list!

Rose Nacree du Desert is Guerlain’s take on the classic rose-oud combination that is beautifully executed in many attars. I have been on a quest for The Perfect Dark Rose for a while and was lucky enough to obtain a 5ml sample from my favourite Guerlain exclusives stockist.

The opening is a beautiful rose without the fresh citrus note that attar fans might expect. The perfume develops quite fast to warm, darker rose thanks to saffron and woody notes. Patchouli and saffron are not very obvious, they just add warmth and a hint of earthiness. On my skin oud and benzoin dominate the drydown. The rose lasts about 2h on my skin and is completely gone in 3h while the dark base lasts for ages. I would prefer a bit more rosy drydown and will stick to attars in future.

I would recommend this to people who are interested in the middle Eastern influences in perfumery but do not like wearing oils. If you like your roses clean, keep looking elsewhere:)

Rose pressed between the pages of an old first-edition book was my first impression. Then a quick cascade of herbal green notes, fleeting and crisp. The middle, which I did not enjoy, was a heady, heavy red rose; the actual rose note ws very nice, but it was quite strong for a while. Once this passed, the dry-down of delicately spiced dried rose was wonderful and long-lasting. (3/5)

by Kilian Rose Oud + Guerlainade. I get the same three notes from this as the by Kilian scent (rose, oud, saffron). As I found with Songe de Bois d'Ete, it is as if one perfume is stacked on top of the other.

Opening, the rose and oud are very pungent, and I get the traditional Guerlain base upon dry down. Again, the scents begin to blend and come together as the fragrance settles on the skin.

It is a rose/oud scent that I would actually wear, and I will wear my decant in cold weather and for evenings. I must say it is quite heavy on the (pink) rose, and I really do not imagine this on a man , but rather a confident and stylish woman.

this is not bad at all, quite elegant and not too strong Rose Oud, reminds me a bit also By Kilian's one on the same theme... nothing too original I'd say, pleasant, well balanced, the patchouly note is quite present, the rose is soft, but there, the safron is very mild, barely there... not sure it's worth the price tag, and very "emirates friendly" in it's marketing profile :-p
I prefer the Art et la Matière ones, specially Bois d'Armenie and cuir Beluga

i love this fragrance it's so arabian nights romance, the smell of love, passion, taboo, wealth, and above all rose! makes me love arabian beauty more and more, i think jasmine (Aladdin girlfriend) smelled like this <3

A sweet and soft green rose in the style of Rose Absolue by Annick Goutal.

I don't get the orient in this at all. Even after a good while on my skin there is just a faded rose smell at the end. If you really love rose scents than you would like this, but I did not.

this is a sweet and sticky candy rose. to my nose it does not at all smell arab. i cannot sense oud in this creation. to me its the rose and the patchouly making a sweetish scent for the day. definitely more for women. i have to say i am somewhat disappointed as i expected a full bukhoor kind of incency perfume more like the oud ispahan.

Well, I can't comment on the oud because I'm not sure what oud smells like but let me say this - a rose by any other name would not smell as sweet.

Rose Nacree du Desert is the sweetest floral oriental I've come across. It's not Hypnotic Poison type of sugary sweetness - no fruit or vanilla, it's a warm musky, incense sweet. I know these notes aren't in the mix, it must be the benzoin/saffron/patchouli notes.

For once Guerlain has delighted me with opening notes, no nose burn, I found a delicately spiced rose bomb. Yep, it's definately a bomb, but it's divine. The rose smells like the ones you find in older person's gardens, an old fashion rose that has been made redundant by all the new hybrid blooms.

The longer I wear the perfume the sweeter it becomes, is there such a thing as too sweet? I seriously can't imagine this as a unisex fragrance.

It's a beautiful fragrance as it is but I would like it to have something else to round off all that sweetness.

Edit: after wearing this perfume for a couple of days I've become used to the sweetness, it's no longer O.T.T. It's addictive.

This will likely be one of the best releases of 2012.

I put this on at 8.30 a.m. and went for a walk through Chrissy Fields towards Golden Gate. It was one of those blustery summer days where the wind is merciless, but through it all wafted the warmest, golden rose.

Rose Nacree has no competition. I know you've seen these notes before, but here they come together so fabulously you'd think it was a new genre. The opening is a sweet patchouli vibe, but this gives way to oud, and quickly.

There's just enough grit here to keep it dirty, but not so much chrome that it tips into the 'do not use' category. I can't explain it, but the rose is so powerful that it overwhelms all attempts to masculinize it.

The dry down was unexpectedly breathtaking. It hit me as I was drinking a glass of champagne and eating a ham and cheese crepe at a french restaurant. Hello, Benzoin! I LOVE this pampered base note. And guess what? It lingers long after you've paid the tab.

Ah Guerlain, you really love me, don't you?

Guerlain does Montale. Another rose/oud mix, but more gentle than the Montale versions. The oud does not take precedence here, rather the saffron & patchouli notes underpin the rose nicely. I only have a vial, which I am enjoying, but oh! just look at that gorgeous bottle. The perfume is very lovely as one would expect from such a prestigious house. Longevity is good (4 hrs on my skin), sillage noticeable.

Hope you don't mind if I add a bit to this....It is that GRAND! I tested this again today.....THIS time...in the best of all places....upon my neck where it can send vapors to my nose with full force. This duft lasted the entirety of the day....from morn' till eve....
But the scent compelled me to share once again. I am not the best at writing descriptions of perfumes...but more so about what I feel or invision.... The Damask Rose is present....but obscure...and as time enfolds the Oud here is like no other I have smelled. I am not an expert...but I have had my share of sampling....
I had to say...."This was an ancient bottle discovered in the sands of the Orient!" It some how smells.....ancient...if you can imagine...like how you would imagine if you woke up and Cleopatra layed there on a posh array of golden and embroidered pillows....her lovers strewn about....in a slumber...only to be awakened by her mere command!
To say this is sexy does not do any justice. This is an artform...a soul from essence...
Only one simple spray upon my neck.... Now where is my purse?

After trying the sample twice.... I definately would purchase!

A very good Oud with vintage damask roses.... I am not so much a rose dame; however, with this oud and the magic of the hands of Guerlain.... it has the wow factor! Oud is a pricey and rare essntial oil that comes from aggarwood...it is a very special scent that makes me think of a beautiful exotic woman with eyes that enrapture you...entance your soul.

Guerlain did a very good thing here....If you could at least aquire a sample...there are so many ouds out there. I personally only need one. I have been trying different ones from Montale, and other sources...trying to make a decision. And instead of buying many that may or may not fit the bill... I have fallin hard...for Guerlain once again!
