Rock`n Rose is a fragrance for rock princesses, young women, 'irresistible elegant and provocative', as said by Valentino Garavani about his fragrance. Valentino dresses many of rock stars and knows exactly what he is saying. His fragrance has a marvelous rose in its heart, softened by gardenia, heliotrope and vanilla, which also bring in a bit of intrigue in its stern sound.
The perfume Rock`n Rose is composed of fresh fruity ('irresistible'), classic floral ('elegant') and sensual ('provocative') nuances, just as the great Couturier said. The top notes are lily of the valley, black currant, and bergamot. The heart notes are rose, gardenia, and orange blossom. The base is sandal wood, heliotrope, iris and vanilla. The bottle is shaped like a glass sphere; it lies comfortably in hand, with a black top with edges diamond-like shaped. The fragrance was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Francoise Caron.

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.

this scent didn t impress me much either.it s a bit floral,a bit fruity,a bit sweet......doesn t outstand with nothing.at first the scent is strong but fades away very quickly.doesn t rock n rose me at all.but i like the bottle.

After a few of the members recomended me this one...I decided to sample it to see if I would have liked it.
It's a mediocre scent, that starts like all the latest scents...fruity.I like it but not so much as to wear it on a regular bases.
The evolution of the scent has nothing spetacular just that gardenia smell, is what I like but overall it kinda fits into the fruity floral category than floral.
Very delicate drydown...imperceptible after just 3 hours!

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. For a rose scent I like Bvlgari rose Essentielle.

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

Rose perfume, nice, but sometimes smells like wine to me.
02/09/09 21:46:43
Very light and rose scented water? That is what I smell. Bottle is cute though looks like a nail polish.
02/05/09 18:07:06
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..
12/01/08 04:47:35
It works on me, but I like rose scents. Definitely smell the rose, a bit of fruit as well. But the musk grounds it.
11/29/08 15:53:27
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!
11/21/08 10:15:05
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.
11/01/08 13:21:04
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.
09/20/08 10:47:43
i had a sample and think that it's too sweet but somehow dark, i liked it but wouldn't buy a whole bottle
09/20/08 01:07:19
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.
09/11/08 09:18:49
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.
07/10/08 14:02:38
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 :-)
03/26/08 06:48:40
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!
01/06/08 06:17:47
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?
10/20/07 16:53:44
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.
10/10/07 10:49:52
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.. :/
09/26/07 18:22:20
i must say that it reminded me of a pink furity chewing gum, rather than of a rose. i liked it too.
09/26/07 07:28:59
it's very delicate and light!
