Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Damascus Rose lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Rose 31.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rose 31's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Rose 31 — the 4th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances 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
What it is chasing: rose, cumin and bourbon vetiver up top, cedar, agarwood (oud) and guaiac wood in the middle, amber, musk and olibanum underneath — the shape of Le Labo Rose 31.
Top
- rose
- cumin
- bourbon vetiver
Heart
- cedar
- agarwood (oud)
- guaiac wood
Base
- amber
- musk
- olibanum
For the one who wears rose like armor, letting cumin, cedar and incense strip away every trace of sweetness into something defiantly androgynous.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 11 twins of Le Labo Rose 31 we can price, Damascus Rose is number 4 on price per 100ml.
