Note on oud wood: oud is a resin produced by the Indonesian Agarwood tree when it is infected by fungus. The resin is an immune response that permeates the wood and creates a complex leathery/sour/woody/salty/ambery-smelling substance used in traditional Arab perfumes and eastern incenses. Increasingly, oud is popping up in western-style fragrances.

  • Pure poison is very comforting to me. I just discovered Prada Insfusion De Fleur D Oranger & it is now quite comforting too. I have a problem with perfumes lasting on me though. I was told if you have dry skin, that can make them fade quicker, any suggestions. The only one that really has "staying power" with me is Angel & I really don't like it anymore. I was thinking of getting the Creed Silver Mountain Waters in the oil, hoping that would last longer.

  • @BELLA691967 I've got dryer skin, and I live in a dry climate, and one thing that works is to use the oil version of a perfume (if available) or to moisturize before applying perfume with an unscented oil like jojoba oil.

  • @19myself91 Isn't that interesting how you can associate a fragrance with someone, even if they didn't actually wear it?

  • Thank you for all these wonderful reviews! I'm definitely going to try and track down Tea Rose but being a lover of sweet roses I was wondering does Tea Rose smell sweet? Also I was wondering if you've done or are ever planning to do a review of your favourite rose scents?

  • @KatiePuckrikSmells I know this has nothing to do with perfume, but I think you are a gorgeous woman! And don't worry.. I'm not an old ugly creep. I'm a 23 year old heterosexual woman, i promiss :p But you really are very beautiful.

  • @ts121084 I love the Marcia Brady/Gloria Steinem references!

  • @KatiePuckrikSmells Tea Rose is perfection. It's important that you mention dew, as the first thing that comes to mind after spritzing it is wetness. You also get the stem! It's almost green. Perfect for rainy days and marvelous over bathwater.

    Very '70s, though, I must say. However, it shows its age without aging you. Very Marcia Brady-goes-to-college. Makes me think of a pretty, popular girl with long, stick-straight hair. Maybe even Gloria Steinem – in her prime.

  • @pascha120 So glad you found your rose garden! Thanks for letting me know how it worked out.

  • @KatiePuckrikSmells Thanks Katie, I ended up getting Tea Rose and you were right on the money! I tried a few of the other rose scents I mentioned but Tea Rose was definitely the rose scent I was looking for. I swear this is one of those scents that I smell and I just can't help but smile. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the Penhaligon's scent you mentioned too so thank you so much for the tip off! :)

  • @pascha120 Both Fracas and Ombre Rose, as fantastic as they are, are elaborate compositions where you will not find your simple garden rose. I predict more success with PW Tea Rose and Penhaligon's Elisabethan Rose.

  • @KatiePuckrikSmells Ah thanks for your reply! I've been trying to find a scent that smells just like the sweet smelling roses I have in my garden and haven't quite found 'the one' yet. Funnily enough I tried DG's The One but it wasn't the sweet smelling nostalgic kind of rose scent I've been looking for. A few friends have told me to give Fracas or Ombre Rose a go (I haven't yet) but I must say the price and (from what I've read) the staying power of Tea Rose is a huge drawcard for me.

  • @pascha120 Tea Rose is sweet as in a sweet flower smell, but not candy sweet. I like your idea of a fave rose perfume vid!
