Awkward rose with incense
Unfortunately, the rose here does not behave on my skin at all. It is extremely sweet, tart, and powdery all at once, resulting in something that veers between crushed Sweetarts candy and soap in a way that just feels awkward. It is accompanied with something like patchouli, even though that isn't a listed note. It becomes increasingly smoky and incensey past an hour, which doesn't quite mesh well with this rose note, but after a few hours it is mostly labdanum and mildly smoky frankincense with barely a hint of rose. There is something spicy throughout that I can't quite place.
I gave my sample to a friend and unfortunately it was even worse on her, extremely soapy with a strange spiciness.
I do actually like this after a few hours, the sweet labdanum with the slight smokiness is very nice, but the first few hours are just jumbled. However, this isn't the first time rose has turned into Sweetarts on me and soap on my friend, so it might be a good unisex rose on someone else whose skin chemistry is more cooperative.
