The review
On paper, The Rose is a strong bet if you want Atomic Rose for less.
Al Absar sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Atomic Rose's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $20 it costs 95% less than Atomic Rose.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Al Absar publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on pink pepper and bergamot, turns to Bulgarian Rose, Turkish Rose and egyptian jasmine, and settles into madagascar vanilla and amber. That is the brief The Rose is working from.
Top
- pink pepper
- bergamot
Heart
- Bulgarian Rose
- Turkish Rose
- egyptian jasmine
Base
- madagascar vanilla
- amber
For the one who wants a bold, modern rose, dark and slightly metallic yet bright with bergamot, laid over sensual jasmine, vanilla and amber.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
