Stella Rose Absolute Stella McCartney for women

All her bottles are gorgeous! <3

The most addictive rose soliflore perfume I have ever smell. Just the roses please!... I don't need other notes (especially rotten fruity notes) interfere with my seductive roses. Sometimes I just want to smell one single note of rose to bring my childhood memory back. A memory when I picked one rose petal from the garden beside my house.

For others, the smell maybe linier - the composition is not complex but for me Stella McCartney Rose absolute is definitely better & cheaper than "Tanelli" Rose Highness. If you want to smell real rose in the garden, this one is a perfect example of beautiful rose using the latest headspace technology.

fabulous and a classic just like her mother Linda.

Rose Absolute opens with sharp, almost sour citrus and dries down quite quickly to rose but its so faint! It lasted only 1 hour. Stella Nude lasted longer on me than this "intense" version. Disappointed.

I love it but it has no staying power on me. I find it very similar, without the strong Benzoin note, to Montale's Roses Muske

this is very uniqe and feminin superb creation!!!!

I am an English woman who grows and loves roses and cannot get enough of their scent, but they only bloom here from June onward.

Stella Rose Absolute allows me to enjoy the beautiful perfume of my wonderful English roses all year round. It is the most natural representation of fresh, delicious wet English roses in a perfume I have ever experienced.

All rose varieties have a unique scent, and some perfumes capture one of these scents, but this fragrance captures the essence of an English Rose garden at dawn with a light summer breeze caressing the sweet morning dew and lifting the fragrance of all the roses and the nearby trees and shrubs to surround you in their beauty.

Absolutely wonderful, this is my signature fragrance, and the comments I receive from friends and colleagues concur.

One of the freshest, cleanest, deepest, truest rose scents on the market at the moment. It has tremendous lasting power and I've had many people approach me asking about this particular scent. The first day of wearing RA at the office and three ladies asked me about it - they ended up buying it that same week! Rose Absolute indeed! I love it!

Better lasting power than the original Stella. Peonies are stronger in this version. Its warm..better suited for evenings. Too intense to be an everyday summer frag.
I cant decide if this fragrance is more suited for someone older or if its just that it reminds me of something somebody much older than me used to wear.
At first its very strong. I thought it would be a scrubber for a second! A few minutes later the initial sharpness goes away. Then the peonies kick in full force with lemon fading in and out. Dry down is my favorite part..elegant and sexy. Slight hint of lemon, nice amber base, peonies arent as strong, roses linger. Sometimes the dry down smells like CK's Euphoria, and other times it doesn't.
This one is nice, but I prefer the original Stella...It smells more unique and modern.

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE EVER!!!!!
OH MY GOD THIS HITS THE SPOT!!!!!!!
OH STELLA!! WERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE?
THIS SMELLS EXPENSIVE AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS :)

This one is subtle but gorgeous, and it is hard not to like rose! The rose in this frag is nice, soft, and slightly powdery and strengthen (or soften?) by peony and and sexy musk, but the scent is still very rosey. Its a very intimate scent. There is no citrus because I don't smell it. It's pretty linear and not very strong scent. I am trying to get one for my sister. I am VERY sure that she will love it regardless.

Sweet, pretty and very feminine. An English Rose. I love this one for the afternoons that lead onto a special evening.

I have this and loved, but not long lasting on me :( I can not find one scent stay on me all day, never, I will continue search the right fragrance for my.

A great rose soliflore- the peony and base notes are unobtrusive and the rose is not overly sweet. I like the original stella but alas she fades fast..this one sticks around longer. Strangely enough i think it is quite different from the original but still recognizably stella (If that makes any sense).

Nostalgic rose. Like sticking your nose in a dusky-smelling, last bloom of summer. It has that slightly oily, aged smell to it, but still feels very fresh; like an over-ripe rose that's just been in a sunshower. Dense, curling blooms wet with rain or dew, heavy greens and a casual, breezy powderiness, reminiscent of heated skin under sunshine. Very unique.

The original Stella intensified!

This is heaven! Citrusy sweet rose that lasts on the skin!

Makes every time I inhale a pure joy.

I find myself reapplying the original Stella often, but Rose Absolute delivers without disappearing.

Beautiful, deep, and addictive.

I love all things Stella, and this intense version is very satisfying.

Completely agree with all the reviews below - intense, deep, rose with huge lasting power and sillage. The bottle and name neatly match the juice in that regard.

Compared to the original Stella, the contrast between the citrus and the rose is more clearly outlined. The opening is sharp, bitter, and acidic. I accidentally put my nose too close to my wrist the first time and my eyes palpably watered. Got too close and was pricked! But then, after twenty minutes, the lemon gives way to a rose that's even sweeter by contrast. Not unlike a Warhead. Once in a while the lemon bites again, as if to keep things interesting, but the overall impression is just powdery . . . mmm . . .

Still, a prickly one.

Gorgeous! I have "Stella" and while it is a lovely rose fragrance, it doesn't last long enough. This one, though - deep, rich roses with amber, etc. to support it from the base on up. The best thing, though, is that it lasts much longer. I think having both versions is a good thing - "Stella" for a short jaunt out and about, "Rose Absolute" for a longer day. If you love roses and want a nice, lasting rose scent - get Rose Absolute.

I love the original Stella as well but it was too pale and with almost no lasting power. Stella Rose Absolute is more intense, way deeper and lasts longer. However, it might not be suitable to wear on a hot summer day due to the heavy amber note. I'd say it's perfect for spring, fall and winter, though!

The musk really brings out the lemon before the dry down. One almost does not recognize the fragrance. But after it does dry the fragrance is almost the same as Stella org. I still prefer the stella however because it's more consistantly rose, and this has a way more prominent peony, but still I love the scent.

If in the original Stella, you didn't like how the rose was competing w/ the woodsy notes (which on me smelled like a wet newspaper) than this is for you. It smells like the most perfect realistic living red rose. The other notes are there in support, but in no way distract you from the simplicity and beauty of the rose.

Rich, dark and very long lasting rose..
