Deep Roses Montale for women and men

Just for fun I did a line up before writing my review. Deep Roses, Heeley's Hippie Rose, and Sonoma Scent's Rose Musc. It made for an interesting experiment, and of the three my preference is... Rose Musc.

Oud is a note I can't say I'm falling in love with. It's very dry and shares the medicinal aspect of patchouli, but without the grittiness. What I like about Deep Roses is that it reminds me of Rose Musc, look and you'll see the similarities. But musc is just magical on me, and deep...not so much. There is something discordant here, when I breathe deeply I feel it. It lacks a smoothness and has an of-putting vibe, which I attribute to quality of ingredients.

My summarizing comment is that this is a solid, middle of the pack fragrance. Not too strong, not too subtle, but also not too rich or too dry.

This fragrance has surprised me several times. When first applied early in the morning, I was suddently surrounded with ammonia! I swear I was shocked! I don't know if it was just a bizzare one-off - a strange morning disturbance of chemistry, bad reaction with my facial/body cream or what...? Luckily the pungent, gaseous smell seemed to gradually give way to pure, clean, very natural, fresh, straighforward rose scent that has lasted for several hours. Quite pleasant, really, but I was thinking how is it that it reminds me - once again - of both Musk to Musk and Attar?
I have re-applied the fragrance midday expecting the ammonia stink again, but there wasnt' any...!...instead I got warm, pleasant mandarine along with the roses. And as the day went on, I was gently touched by deep, warm, sweet amber. Lovely, really! The bouquet of freshly cut, colourful roses has remained with me the whole day and now - close to bedtime, I am still getting soft nudges of the natural scent every now and then.

I am smelling my wrist. On the left one side, there is Montale Deep Roses...and on the right is Montale Roses Musk. Roses Musk is light with an intoxicating musk supporting the roses that floats in the air and catches the noses of people around you in the best way possible. Roses and Musk layered perfectly. Deep Roses is an intoxicating full and lush rose. Roses and Orange accentuated by a supporting chorus of aloud that grows deeper like a baritone under the rich alto of rose on the dry down as the fragrance deepens and creeps ioto your skin like a rich oil stains leather. it becomes richer as it drys while the roses musk gets lighter and stays pretty like a fading song in the wind, the deep roses wraps you closer to its heart. The heart is a tree. a dark strong resin on the skin that is very log lasting. A lovely winter rose! Amazing scent!

This is a bright, pure rose scent with some musk and woody notes. I don't get aoud, or amber at all in it. At the beginning there's a mandarine rush just for a few minutes, then the rose and peony blooms beautifully. Pure Rose would be a more appropriate name for this perfume, since it isn't a dark, deep, heavy rose. Deep Rose is the little sister of Montale's Roses Musk, altough not as sweet, and the cousine of Crystal Flowers, without its ambery-spicy drydown. A truly charming rose fragrance.

it is a very sweet scent of rose at the begginnning, i expected more bitter and smoky, it was not waht i was expecting, i thought it would be darker! and i'd prefered it darker infact !and actually it becomes darker and darker but without losing this something innocent and spiced sweety aroma ! i was surprised using it very often and now i adore it !!
