Rose d`Homme Les Parfums de Rosine for men

I just got this a s a sample. I was dying to try this for some time and it surly did not disappoint,I can smell the rose in there and I can slowly smell the leathery notes. I am waiting to get the patchouli and the vanilla. Would I buy a full bottle? Its probably worth it to add to my collection , maybe I should finish the sample first. I just wished it would last longer.

It's very original to think a rose perfume for men.
The top notes are bright: refreshing citrus with rose.
After few minutes rose takes place; a prowdery rose.
And the drydown remindes incense or sandalwood: it reminded my a lot the sabe drydown of Anais Anais.
I'd say this perfume is for sensitive and self-confident men.

The drydown isn't that far from Dunhill Desire for a Man (red bottle), but the ingredient quality here is far superior. This is also stronger, and lasts a long time. In other words, it's very good, with a nice balance among the notes. It doesn't have the greatest dynamism but otherwise it's excellent. Don't expect a huge rose note here, but it is clearly present. The major question for most people will likely be: is it worth the money? The best answer, for me, is get a sample and then make a decision (after sampling on a few different occasions). I think I've got enough fragrances that are at least somewhat similar (Desire, as well as Dior Homme, for example) that I should hold off, at least until I sample it a few more times (I've sampled it twice so far).

A rose for a man? Intriguing. I had to try it.
This is a mature, sophisticated woody-leathery –rose. Unisex for sure. It just needs confidence.

It stars woody and rosy with a sharp citrus –lavender note. Just for few minutes. It relaxes to woody -leather rounded tones with un undercurrent of patchouli. Beautiful construction. Much better than expected.

The evolution is towards smooth leather; the woody notes will become more assertive and add more strength and personality to the leather tone. The late dry down is more vanillic with pronounced rose and patchouli. The leather doesn’t completely disappear, it stays close to the skin and brings something sensual to the composition. Absolutely lovely.

I prefer the first 3 hours just because I am not a rose fan.
Otherwise a dreamy leathery fume. It was a "must have" for me! :)
