What's the secret of the rose? Don't ask me!
Secrets de Rose, the secrets of the rose! I wonder what that might be
If you ask a botanist, he can surely tell you some interesting details about roses, which could surprise even rose fans. For example, that roses are related to apples and pears, so you could compare apples with pears here, he he.
If you ask a perfumer, he will tell you how different roses can smell in perfumes and what you could do with roses in perfumes. It is not for nothing that the rose is regarded as one of the most frequently used fragrance components in the world and is incorporated into fragrances in many variations and intensities, both for women and men's fragrances, and this for centuries.
If you ask DonJuanDeCat, one of those commentary writers from Parfumo, he'll probably start telling you something about cats or Star Wars, because this guy is just a head freak and beyond that he's a real botanical shit! But if you combine both, you might get lightsaber-oscillating cats, and that idea is kind of cute, isn't it? No? Oh, you have no idea... :D
Anyway, with the Secrets de Rose "once again" comes a rose fragrance from Les Parfums de Rosine, which is no wonder, since this brand has specialized in rose fragrances, as you can easily recognize by the brand name, unless you think that "Rosine" here really means raisins :D
Most of the other scents are rather hard to spot, because the roses are too much in the foreground and they don't smell too weak. Saffron provides a certain spice, otherwise it just remains rosy for the time being.
In the base the musk mixes with something, which in my opinion makes the scent a bit "darker"... hm this is hard to explain (but I find musk dark-sweet and amber light-sweet..., argh, no matter :D). In any case, the rosy notes go well with the musk fragrance.
Also the shelf life is quite good, you can still smell the scent after eight to ten hours.
Well, so... the scent smells like roses, who would have thought? D
But starting from the name, I would not necessarily claim that the rose scent hides any secrets here or that it itself smells mysteriously. The fragrance simply smells solid like a nice rose fragrance with a good charisma and durability and should please rose fans. And even if there are perhaps more beautiful rose scents, this one has not turned out badly either. Something a bit banal perhaps at the beginning, but not bad, and towards the base the fragrance gets a nice note especially with the musk. It fits not only well during the day, but also for going out, especially as it lasts a long time.
So you can give it a try! In my opinion, it is one of the more successful rose fragrances of this brand, such as La Rose de Rosine, Rose Praliné and Un Zest de Rose!

The fragrance:
Yeah, I smell roses. Slightly sour, but also quite sweet. Even a little soapy, but nice smelling. You can also smell the liquorice, but less in the ascending scent, but more in the sprayed area, but it won't stay long!Most of the other scents are rather hard to spot, because the roses are too much in the foreground and they don't smell too weak.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is quite good, the roses radiate quite intensively for a longer time. Also the shelf life is quite good, you can still smell the scent after eight to ten hours.
The bottle:
The bottle is bulbous and consists of a semi-permeable cream-coloured glass. The knob-like lid is black and reminiscent of the lids of Jo Malone fragrances. Two black cords hang from the bottle, ending in tassels with pink details. Looks quite nice, although I find the somewhat more colourful bottles of Parfums de Rosine more beautiful. Well, so... the scent smells like roses, who would have thought? D
