Rock`n Rose Valentino for women

A fun, flirtatious, mischevious little bit of business -- not terribly sophsiticated, but not without personality! Just a little patience is needed!

Certainly, yes, there's a rush of black currant and hot rose at first, and yep, it's almost run-away sweet; but within minutes something more interesting happens ...

That (flourescent) fruit-candy rose smooths out, develops some depth, and the fragrance evolves into a more interesting composition. Musk makes its appearance, very soft, and sandalwood and vanilla start to appear. And still there's the lovely sweet-tart currant throughout.

At the end the heliotrope appears, a further calming presence. I'm sure the white florals contribute something to the fragrance but they're overshadowed by the rose and fruit. But no matter.

I was prepared to sort of blow this off, thinking it might just not be that interesting ... now, instead, I might consider buying a small bottle for the summer!

I really like it alot ,

but is so close to Rock and Rose Couture no need for me to have both.

I can just vaguely tell the difference - Rock and Rose just a tad and I do mean tad more "Rose"..to me .

Valentino Rock n’ Rose is a light soapy rose. I have a love hate relationship with this perfume. For some reason it reminds me of the deodorizing spray they used on the rental skates at the local skating rink when I was a kid. It’s a clean young rose that is slightly sweet, with heavy gardenia, and underlying musk. For a designer as prestigious as Valentino, I was expecting a fragrance much better than this.

''pretty rock princesses''? obviously the person who posted that comment must be an old lady who lives with 9 cats and knows absolutely NOTHING about seducing scents. This fragance is absolutely sensual and youthful, not too strong but yet has the power of turning heads, valentino succeeded in transmitting and blending the powerful vibe of rock and the romancing scent of roses.

Normally I hate lily of the valley and gardenia, and my skin unfortunately amplifies them, but not with this one.
This is a really great rose scent, with a lot of depth. It opens with a lot of rose, with gardenia and blackcurrant in the background making it very mysterious and enigmatic. The blackcurrant is a little bit syrupy, making this into a kind of rose - liqueur. These notes dominate for most of its duration, with sandalwood and heliotrope coming out as it dries down, grounding this heady mix. Not sure how 'rock' this really is,but if I could embody this fragrance I would say it's the english rose Karen Elsen in Blue Orchid for the White Stripes.

To my nose it’s neither rock nor rose. Not bad, just ordinary floral fruity. Suitable for good girls (teenagers mostly), who imagine their selves as “pretty rock princesses”.

Had this perfume a little while back and let say it definitely made an impression. Synthetic, sweet, fruity and lovely :) Despite the slight tart synthetic edge to it, i cant smell the roses in this, rather all i got was Hubba Bubba Grape Bubblegum, must have been the rose + blackcurrant combo and this i love! However, i dont think any 21 year old in their right mind would like to smell like a 5 year old with sweet chewed gum stuck in their hair, so i promptly excluded it from my collection. Very sweet and fruity, definitely not for anyone above 2o+ ish, the drydown is better, a little more soft floral and feminine.

A little too much rock and not enough rose imho :o) ... it's not a bad fragrance - longevity and sillage are average and it smells pleasant enough. I enjoyed the bottle I had but it's not replacement worthy. If I'm brutally honest (which seems to get up the noses of some Fragranticans - pun intended!) it seems that this fragrance lacks just a little OOOMPH. Granted I was wearing it in very hot and humid conditions ... but for a "rock" perfume it just seemed a little tame. Perhaps I should give the "couture" version a try, based on the Fragrantica reviews?

I didn't smell any rose, the only thing this smelled like to me was dishwashing liquid. I really don't like this one at all.

I am in love with this perfume. It smells so nice on my skin and it lasts quite long on me. It is not a scent that you know its THERE and it hits you into your nose like a fist, its a scent that lingers and "melts" into your own natural smell. Its very delicate and feminine.

Charming and nice smell, sweet and gentle. But someone can smell heavy. I was really impressed. It's my favorite. I highly recommend everyone who likes sweet (not spicy or fresh) scent!
By the way, it's a really hot fragrance. Recommend for winter or summer cold days.

This is up for swaps cuz i cant stan it!

Have tried this weekend and I think I love it! However, I want to try again to make sure it is worthy to buy - I am an addicted: I have about 20 bottles and I never have enough!

Wow, I just saw Valentina, which is also my name, by Valentino is coming up and I thought "Maybe there'll be a fragrance in the future named 'Rock n Rose'." And the name came to me because I love rock and my name has Rose. So I thought it was really great to combine them both. But then I saw this perfume by Valentino, just beside Valentina! Unbelievable. Valentino invented two fabulous names for fragrance. I haven't tried either, but I really really want to.

Strong ! so strong ! But I still like it.
The opening note is so powerful, but a few minutes later it becomes soft and nice. I'm used to wearing it only in fall/winter time.

Very average - below Valentino's standards in my opinion. Does not last long enough.

The rose in this is center stage.A great fragrance for day or night.Its soft and sweet and wears well especially if you layer it with the body lotion.Its a floral,bright scent.Always one of my favourites.

I don't know if anyone else get's this, but when I first sprayed it on my skin, it reminded me of something that I couldn't think of, then after I stepped out of the shower and started to apply lotion on my legs, I knew! Rock n Rose reminds me of Johnson and Johnson baby lotion! I absolutely love the lotion, and I adore the perfume! I'm going to try wearing it to the office and see how it goes over there :)

I bought this in Duty Free on the basis of one quick spray. I didn't regret my purchase, because it's a really nice, gentle floral with a beautiful heart of rose that dominates but isn't too strong.

It's an inoffensive scent that will neither annoy anyone nor attract attention, so it's suitable for office wear and everyday use.

Unfortunately, it's just a bit too nice and anonymous for my liking so I wore it for a while, then got bored of it. Still very pleasant, but I wouldn't buy it again.

I had a bottle and finished it. I used it as an office scent and liked it for that while. I thought it smells nicely like rose petals and maybe some flowers. It's nothing special but was ok for 1 bottle. I wouldn't want to buy more though.

Didn't like the smell of it at all on my skin. Almost sour smelling. Definately not for me!

blindly purchased it. love the smell. so soft and feminine, but doesn't last long on my skin. stays around for 4 hours. it was a worthy purchase i guess, considering i love floral smell. sometimes, it felt bore too.but it worth the try anyways.

I got this as a present and thought, hmmm roses? not for me. And I sprayed it and wasn't very keen on it. But I've went back to it and given it a second chance and I really like it now. It's not the old fashioned rose smell I thought it'd be, it's very light and fresh, but it doesn't hang around long. So I'll just have to keep it in my handbag!

I was really disappointed in Rock'n Rose. The rose is terribly understated...I could hardly even notice it after a few minutes, and it was completely overwhelmed by the other floral notes. Not a great version of rose.

This is easily one of my top fragrances and I actually found it by mistake lol. Smells AMAZING on my skin... like a candied rose but not so strong it gives me a headache (which I get with really heavy scents). I can spray this on in the morning and can still faintly smell it 6 or so hours later. Love it so much that after I bought the 1.7oz I went and bought the 3oz bottle for a backup!

I love this scent and the bottle is absolutely gorgeous but the lasting power on this one is not good. I even bought the lotion hoping it would help to layer the scent. It's too bad because the scent itself is very beautiful

This one was a disappointment for me. It smells like roses and berries that have been left out in the sun and gone bad. Its not a horrible smell, but its not at all sparkling or zesty or EXCITING like other rose fragrances can be. There is also a musky tone that adds interest and is probably where the powdery element comes in, but I'm not a fan of musk so it doesn't work for me. Also, lasting power is terrible. Even when applied liberally this one lasts maybe an hour if I'm lucky. Its a shame because I like the bottle and the marketing!

Niiice bottle and it makes me so happy. Love round bottles of scent! Something speaks "mod-science" to me in the design. What I get here is sugary candy-rose syrup and that is okay by me when I am in the mood for sugary candy-rose syrup. And if the looks of the bottle (which is only half-full at the moment), is any indication--I have been in the mood for it quite a bit...especially during the early fall of last year. Some heady floral in there. I get a little bit of the bubble-gum mentioned in other reviews...but this has a real sweet dry down that is just lovely...On me, more general sweet floral than rose, though.

I stumbled upon this one dusting my vanity 2nite and I must say it is a forgotten treasure... It is both classic and modern at the same time with its soft and powdery scent... Sum1 else here said it reminded them of Tresor and u know wut??? I agree... Its just a softer sweeter, less-cloying version...Kudos 2 Valentino!!!

Valentino's Rock 'n Rose is deliciously sexy it opens with a blast of Black current and sparkling bergamot dries with
a sweetness of gardenia with edgings of orange blossoms Heliotrope adds to the candy chewing gum kind of scent it has a cloying texture I don't smell any evidence of Lily-of-the-Valley in this i don't seem
to detect it there's a nice diluted rose
note that dries the middle section.

I like the vanilla drydown not too sweet
with a musky overtones.

I don't seem this as edgy feminine yes
it's more girlish then edgy I love the color combination it has an 1950's Parisian feel very chic.

Although I can't say this is the fragrance of my life, I can say it's a nice one.
I like fruity, sweet fragrances and Rock'n Rose is definetely one of them.
The only thing I don't like about it is that my boyfriend doesn't say anything about it when I'm wearing it. And he always does about every other fragrance...

Florals are not my favourite olfactory group. The only florals I can love are Pure Poison and Amarige. This - although it has a pleasant feel - is the generic floral perfume, as I see it, a reference point in this class of fragrances. Exceptionally light and highly centered on rose, it almost gives the impression of a soliflore. It's clean, airy and neutral, it does not make a statement. It would fit nicely a 12 to 14 year old girl, innocent, not yet in the restless search for a personality, not yet aware of the femininity growing from inside her, spreading its buds on her frail, still androgynous body. So light, it's not even innocent (as innocence IS in itself a statement, although it may be regarded otherwise, as something uncounsiously there). Just transparent and fresh, ethereal.

Sugared, berry rose. This fragrance grew on me. Smells very sexy after it has warmed- up on the skin for a bit. Perfect for work, too.

I agree with mwater1's 02/13/10 review. This is a light rose, but make no mistake: it's a persistent rose despite its lightness. A slightly musky aquatic rose... that's it! This is the first aquatic rose I've come across.

I smell the ozonic freshness of active fresh water, roiling mountain river, rain or a waterfall. And roses moist with mist. Noticeable to others long past my ability to smell it on myself. 8 hours in I layered on Baby Doll, YSL's rosy grapefruit fest, to great refreshing effect.

This fragrance is lovely & a true bargain but I won't be buying again. I'll go full-tilt and get YSL's Paris, the queen to Rock'n Rose's baby princess. Or, imagine Byblos without the dusty powdery sour-pickle note (which I rather enjoy, silly me).

I liked this for only a second haha!

I first sprayed and it was very very faint and I had to spray a few more times before smelling it (maybe the tester was defective??).

It smelled rosy at the start, than spicy, than rosy again then it went stale on me after a half hour and so I wouldn't ever wear this one.

Hi.

Another ROMANTIC fragrance by VALENTINO.The scent consits of Rose with slight indications of other interesting Flowers.The rose makes it Delicate and Sweet smell without being overwhelming. Fresh,Lively,Fantasy, Irresistible,Pleasant,Soft and Young.

Rock n Rose blends Bergamot and Black Currant in a Sheer Floral, Beautiful Feminine Bouquets of Rose,Gardenia and Orange blossom makes it Sweet scent by hints of Vanilla in the base notes.in fact Musk and Vanilla bring Emotion to this Modern scent for a Combination That is Seductive and Raomantic.

it is Like a candy that has much flavor but not Heavy and Cloying.it makes feel near at the ROMANTIC moments.perfect for INTIMATE wear.Suitable for SPRING/AUTUMN.If you want something that is Lovely and Cute but not a Unique Floral you can not go wrong with this VLENTINO EDP.

Sillage?Good.

Longevity?Average on my skin.

6.5/10

it is definitely not a rose scent, like D&G or paul smith rose, or even Lanvin Rumeur rose (a heavy and intense type of rose)..it is a loud floral with a pinch of rose which you can detect if you are looking for..it is really different, nothing like any other, very sexy and dirty kind of perfume..opening is sweet floral but in the top notes and dry down it transforms into a dark musky scent..according to me it's not a soft sweet girly perfume like many members mentioned..longevity is very good..

I hate this perfume.It makes me sick, I'd never buy it, even if I find extremely interesting the design of the bottle.

boring rose.. to me.

Rock & Rose its a sexy feminine perfume and i fell in love with it when i smelled it first time and hubby likes it as well.

Today I run out of my one and only bottle of Valentino's Rock&Rose. What can i say? The scent is kinda nice, really romantic, but nothing special. Good for work and everyday situations, but for nothing more. I enjoy'ed wearing it, but I'll never buy it again because there is no charachter.

Sweet sweet sweet.

On paper, Rock n Rose starts out as alcohol, and dries to a soft sugary rose.

On the skin, Rock n Rose becomes rock candy. The rose is almost lost in a whirlwind of candy and yes, bubblegum.

It is a pretty fragrance, very girly and whimsical. But if you're looking for a rose fragrance, this probably wont satisfy you.

I like it, but I'll reach for Stella by Stella McCartney for my roses, and save the Rock n Rose for dessert.

(The bottle does, in fact, rock!)

I don't usually buy the same perfume twice - I like to explore,but I got so many compliments on this one I could not resist & I had to buy a second bottle!It's sweet & fresh. Very youthfull.The only downside is the bottle is quite heavy in my handbag.I love it!I use it as an every day wear to brighte up my days ;)

wow.. just sniffed it and felt absolutely in love :):) very sensual, youthful... i want it! :)

I have not thought that I would like those roses quite this much (at first I wasn't over the moon), but I really enjoy this one more and more! Nice, pleasant and yeah, I do feel the rock now! :-)

I decided to try this out while exploring rose fragrances.The rose, black currant and the faint traces of sandalwood make this fragrance for me. This is feminine, but not too girly. However, I wasn't sure I'd be too comfortable wearing this one out in public. But I got over that and found the right color scheme and mood to wear this in. This blends in well with my skin and lightens up my mood whenever I spray it on. I'll be keeping this one in my collection for awhile.

By the way, I blended this with Prada Infusion D'Homme out of pure curiosity and found the perfect unisex fruity-floral concoction. A definite plus.

I must disagree with a majority of reviews, so here goes: I really, really like it. The opening of Rock and Rose is a fruity type rose mixed in a slightly minty envelope. As the fragrance dries down, I get a dusty rose musk and it seems to have a hint of what I call marshmallow sweetness. I appreciate this fragrance for not being the typical rose fragrance. It's not cloying, not overly sweet but feminine and pretty without being girly girl. YAY!

Rock and Rose exhibits a slighty tart note reminiscent of a granny smith apple. This is a plus for me as it seems to turn a tad acidic and burns off some of the powder. It has excellent sillage and lasting power on me, coupled with being the perfect 'perfume weight'...not too heavy, not too light. Perfect for getting just the right amount of attention.

The more I use it, the more I fall in love! Rating 8 out of 10, only because it takes me a minute to acclimate to the slightly powdery nature as I usually can't stand powdery fragrances.

I wanted to like this. I really did. I read somewhere Lindsay Lohan loved and wore this one for a while. Oh, well. It's just not all that. Kinda stuffy. Goes nowhere on me. Does nothing for me. I like a perfume that sets a mood or creates one, an atmosphere, an aura, a presence. This one gives none of the above. Tried to sell it on ebay. Noone wanted it and I'm not surprised.

To me it's very "rosy" and although I am not particularly keen on roses, this one is rather pleasant. Soft, and with a hint of something modern. I would certainly not call it sensual, elegant or provocative (as they do in the description), I think its more of a "nice" , feminine fragrance. I would occasionally wear it if given a bottle, but I would not spend the money on it.

I like it.I also like to mix parfumes. I like this one with Paul Smith Rose - it balances each other out.Sweet&Cool down,morning rose.

The opening is pure fruits. Jammy blackcurrant and citrus, not the fresh kind, but rather the ones that have been sitting on the bottom of the fruits basket all summer, waiting to be eaten, but never selected. Those grumpy fruits thicken and sour and eventually wane away to give way to the second phase of Rock'n Rose . . . sour lilies. With a hint of citrus. Contrary to the name, rose doesn't seem to be the point of the composition; all it does is add a little pink tinge to the otherwise white-floral oriented heart. But whereas white florals at their best are luminous and creamy, these lilies have been wilted for quite a while, but somebody neglected to throw them out. They eventually dry up into vanilla-musky dust, made powdery by the orris root.

I understand why all the sourness might make this fragrance "edgy," but this combination of sour fruits and neglected florals makes me think of a girly English parlour . . . with the maid on strike and turning to rot. Not quite spoiled *yet*, but I don't want to stick around for that to happen.

Very unoriginal. Something a celebrity would wear if the celebrity was Britney Spears. Smells like the color pink.

My first thought on ROCK N ROSE was “It smells like bubblegum”. Lightly fruity & quite sweet.
The floral notes are hidden under the fruit. With the word ‘rose’ in the name, I expected to be able to smell roses; no such luck.
The vanilla and musk base doesn’t excite me either; every other fragrance out there has the same base notes.

Still, this fragrance is a light, easy to wear choice and I do like to wear it. Plus, it’s inoffensive to work colleges, family and friends.


However, it just doesn’t have that mysterious ‘something’ that would make me re-buy it.

The top notes in this scent are black currant and bergamot which envelope the middle notes of rose, lily of the valley, gardenia, and orange blossom. The dry down, as well as the middle and top notes, include something sweet: heliotrope, vanilla, sandalwood, musk, and orris root.

I wasn't much impressed with the scent. To me, it smelled quite a lot like overly scented sunblock lotion. The gardenia in this was very overpowering. I'd give it a three out of five though, because the staying power was great. I could smell it on my wrist after 6 hours.

The rose is almost undetectable until the dry down-there were so many other sweet, floral elements going on-the lily, gardenia, orange blossom, heliotrope, and orris root sort of overpower it, and it gets lost in the bouquet. it’s definitely a summer scent; I really can’t think what other season would blend with this.

I’m curious as to why they focused so intently on promoting it as a rose scent-the gardenia is really the most prominent of the florals, with the next most intense being the lily. The intensity of this really takes away from the rose-as aforesaid, I could not even detect any rose until the dry down. But I guess Rock n’ Rose sounds a little more attractive than Rock n’ Gardenia, or Rock n’ Lily.

I was expecting to smell roses, and didn't until the drydown. It's a very sparse, light perfume...almost too light. The saleslady called it 'fun' but I dunno....
Too bland for me.

It smells like roses to me, but a more subdued rose - It's not in your face rose or typical of your usual "rose" smelling products. I can smell the orange blossom and blackcurrant in it at the beginning and the gardenia, roses and jasmine too when I'm wearing it.
I love this perfume, it is soft, rosy, feminine and musky.

I guess I expecting more metal and leather here,a tougher 'dirty' vibe from the 'rock' part but this is just very soft and pretty 'rose' - not that's anything negative in my book, I love the rose scent.
They just should of toughened this one up somehow.

A pretty posy scent.

Ok, I changed my mind about this perfume.It is just plain old ugh.I dunno what was wrong, cuz the last time I smelled it, I got roses, but now all I got was this weird stuffyness, as if someone had put a zillion things together and hoped for the best.Dissapointing, as the bottle is very pretty and I really liked the whole concept of this perfume. But well, no can do, or maybe I have to go and smell it again just to be sure.

I was under the impression that it would be such a great scent...I still can't believe I bought it. Oh well, to each their taste. It didn't suit me:(

I like it... not bad :)

This smells really beautiful, like sugared roses. It's light not only in scent but in strength as well. It has no roughness to it, as one would think by the name, it's perfectly girly and lady like. The drawback is it's lasting power. There isn't any. I put this on and few minutes later and it's undetectable.

Hmmm...EVERYONE seems to have different experiences with this perfume. How odd. I thought it was rather straight-forward on ME.

I must disagree with those that compared it to Tresor, Flowerbomb, & chewing gum. Flowerbomb is a sickenly sweet vanilla narcotic to me...and Tresor...well....we just don't get along at all. Chewing gum is yummy...but I definitely don't get a teeny-bopper chewing gum experience from this flower power!

Valentino Rock'n'Rose is actually a pleasant floral (and I'm not a floral fan). The bergamot is very strong at the beginning. The black currant is subtle, but there. After several minutes, I sniff my wrist again and I catch a whiff of gardenia and rose. Quite lovely...soft, sensual, and enticing. The orange blossom and lily of the valley show up a bit late, and somewhat shy, but the arrangement is harmonious. The dry down is still floral & pretty, but with a sizzling, slightly woody, musky aroma. The vanilla doesn't make a big presence (which is a nice change). There seems to be just a touch of fruit still lingering (but not noticeable enough to someone who's not looking for it). It has lasted 6 hours on me so far. I would probably prefer to wear this at night--to dinner or even out to a club. If you choose to wear it to work, use a light hand because it's a bit strong (which is good because it lasts a while). It's pretty, but with a teasingly flirty attitude. Fun...but also demure. The bottle is lovely in person. Not bad for someone who's not a big floral-lover! =) Hope that helps!

I cannot remember which one I was given a sample of( I know the bottle was this one and it was rock& *something* by valentino. But I do know it was very floral. I like it despite it not being very lasting.

Rock 'n Rose is a very nice, rosy and very rich fragrance.I could imagine wearing it to some really sophisticated/intimate event.Very pretty, I like it much, alltho the "rock" part may be a bit misleading.But nevertheless, a strong, lovely rose fragrance.

not impressing at all...at first it's very alcoholic-liqueurish and aferwards it develops into a plain rose fragrance. quite dull.

Clears down to a soft powder rose scent - beautiful. Similarities with Stella Sheer (original) as that had a powdery-musk finish.

Is it just me or does it smell alot like Trésor by lancome...just a bit better??

Very pretty indeed...

I love this perfume it is one of my favorite scents, I can't believe people say this is heavy, because it is not. I can wear it to work, to my university(grad student), and out and it works in every situation. On me I get a soft rose with an orange blossom and a touch of powder. It is very sweet, it doesn't trail but if I sit next to someone or if they give me a hug they always say that I smell good. Love this scent its soft and gentle but it makes a statement saying I'm feminine and sexy, without heavy orientals and spice, I save the orientals for later in the night :).

I bought this perfume based on my friend's recommendation. It seems a little too strong for me and the drydown reminded me slightly of flowerbomb. For some weird reason reason i got a rash from it so I gave it to my sis.
Update: No more allergic reaction. I now love this fragrance and use it for the when I want to smell sophisticated and edgy. The inital scent may be overbear but the smels that lingers rose with berries it lovely

This is really the perfume of my dreams!!! It has just enough rock and rose combined to make it the perfect perfume for the special intimate moments in your life. It's the kind of perfume that will make your special moments last forever and it just sticks to your best memories and never lets them go. Oh my god, it really makes me feel special and feminine and also kick ass sexy at the same time. I also like the fact that I won't feel it while I'm wearing it but all that are around me will feel the smell of it. This is the perfume that will make your most loving moments most definitely ROCK ON!!! :)

I also think that this is delicate & light.I thought that my bottle had been watered down but my boyfriend said it smells strong enough to him so it must be just me.
I think this is the perfect perfume for say...Church.Ironically enough because the name "Rock n Rose" would say otherwise.This is a great perfume to wear when you want to smell good but not make too much noise with your scent.
The rose in this is not the heavy rose that I had thought it was going to be.My grandmother had a ton of Rose scented hand creams & such when I was younger & although they smelled good they just weren't for me.This Rose IS although.Its a fresh rose.The kind that is still on the branch.

For me it's a heavy sweet rose scent... I don't mind roses, I don't mind heavy and I don't mind sweet - but all together it's definitely not working out for me.
Cute bottle though, especially when it's with the black lace and black rose.

Rose perfume, nice, but sometimes smells like wine to me.

Very light and rose scented water? That is what I smell. Bottle is cute though looks like a nail polish.

I love this scent, it's so light and edgy. It not old school rose at all, its modern and I love it.

I purchased this "scent unsniffed" because of the name. Rock because I love rock and roll and Rose because it's my mother's name. I guess I hit the jackpot because I love it! The scent of rose is all around for the elegant feel, like mom. The warm base notes of sandalwood and musk give it that "rock" edgy feel .Gardenia is in the center but I do not detect it's presence whereas the orange blossom makes a bold statement. The overall scent is the delicate sheerness of the rose, perfect for day wear.

I only have the lotion and I love it. Soft and elegant. Would love to have the perfume to layer it. There is something about the idea of this fragrance that got my attention immediately. Soft floral and light, not old ladish at all. Really like this lotion, it also moisturizes pretty good, no weird film left on my hands..

It works on me, but I like rose scents. Definitely smell the rose, a bit of fruit as well. But the musk grounds it.

Oh I love the ambience of this fragrance! It sounds so good, and it should work for me, rose and blackcurrent and musk and vanilla, but somewhere underneath it all is some kind of dark almond/cherry thickness that buzzes and rises and eventually forces me to wash the whole thing off. I think it's the heliotrope. It turns it into a total teen bubblegum sours experience. This may be good for clubbing cos it seems to last for hours...or certainly a lot longer than I can bear!

It's really floral with some cherry and a little bit powdery to me. It's strong at first but then fades to an even more powdery rosy smell, I love it. It's a girly yet sophisticated scent. I recently bought Rock n Rose Couture and still waiting for it to get here by mail. It's supposed to be a little stronger and slightly different than the original one so I might give this one to my daughter.

different but not unique... does that make sense?
it's rather powdery with little identified musk at all. it doesn't strike me as a sweet scent at all.. sophisticated yes, also rather mature and simple... i would group it with Marc Jacobs Blush with it's subtleness.. but Blush definitely has more freesia in it than this.

Nothing to write home about... Very "nice" and decent, relaxed and sweet. In other words: oh so boring.

i had a sample and think that it's too sweet but somehow dark, i liked it but wouldn't buy a whole bottle

Nice rose smelling fragrance. Wouldn't buy it for the second time coz it causes headache for me at the end of the day...It stays on my skin really well.

Maybe not chewing gum - there's something fizzy here (orange + roses)!?... Really a modern, young & exciting scent, with a beautiful rebellious hint.

Sweet romance - but not banal.

A friend of mine was absolutely obsessed with this a while back - I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. Not a great fragrance, but not bad either. I'd buy it if I had some extra cash but nothing I'd run out to get.

It is true that the fragrance is a bit usual but the fact that it is a Valentino perfume makes it very likeable to me :-)

I don't see where you guys got the smell of pink fruity gum from, I totally smell the roses! It's actually incredibly rosy to me. Maybe more rose than there should be. I love this scent, but it gets old quick. Really cool, unique name, but not too unique a fragrance. It's simply the smell of concentrated rose. So, if you like roses, go for it! It's light, fun, and pretty to the smell. Almost too pretty and flowery to be a rock n' roll fragrance. It doesn't portray that hint of rebelliousness as the title gives off. It's really nice, though!

I want it -- but not for myself. Actually, a friend of mine would love it, but I don't find it to be spectacular nor do I find it to be something original, either?

I bought a gift set with perfume and shower gel and not sure I'm going to keep... it does smell like pink fruity gum and to me nothing like a rose... I was rather disappointed because the name made me think this was going to be a bold exciting fragrance and like Leukothea said... it's nothing special.

Like it, but nothing special. First thing that attracted me to the fragrance was its name. I guess in this case, I can't say - where there's smoke, there's fire.. :/

i must say that it reminded me of a pink furity chewing gum, rather than of a rose. i liked it too.

it's very delicate and light!
