The review

On paper, Rosewood Rose is a reasonable bet if you want Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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 coriander, lemon and aldehydes, turns to damask rose, palisander rosewood and geranium, and settles into sandalwood and patchouli. That is the brief Rosewood Rose is working from.

Top

  • coriander
  • lemon
  • aldehydes

Heart

  • damask rose
  • palisander rosewood
  • geranium

Base

  • sandalwood
  • patchouli
Damask rose grown into rosewood and patchouli; spicy, balsamic and surprisingly serious.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
