As a man who loves flowers and especially roses, the challenge is to find something that doesn’t smell feminine. This video is fantastic. I always trust you to find something special.
Thing is, there are plenty who will say almost anything with a listed rose note is feminine. Just call florals you like 'elegant' and dress well. Works for me anyway 😊
Great to hear from you Jon and yes, I would recommend to you Black Rose by Zaharoff; this is a really toned down rose with dominant aromatics and woods...easy for any man I'd love to know your thoughts once you get the chance to test as I would love to hear what you think of it...great to connect @jonparker1712 💫
Beautiful presentation as always. I appreciate you mention about each fragrance if is unisex or not( I'm a woman) and the silage/projection hours which is very important for me and other viewers.
I would like to mention a rose fragrance that isn’t much talked about. It is a beautiful masculine spicy rose perfume named Hazy Rose by Ramon Monegal. I would recommend this perfume to anyone who’s looking for a masculine rose fragrance. It is simply stunning.
Amazing and thank you for this wonderful journey of Ross. I have written down Black rose and Simone Andreoli. I dont own any rose focused fragrances. Thank you again and 80k baby🎉👊❤️
Rose is my favorite note ! My fave so far, out of 200+ collection, is Armani Prive' Rose d'Arabie . . . with Prada Miracle Of The Rose in the #2 spot. Thanks so much for sharing !
I have been very intrigued with the note of rose. I have tried to study the different types of rose and how they work in the fragrances that I own. Thanks for such an eclectic and diverse array of rose fragrances. I must research the ones that I don't have from this video. However, Tabac Rose is one of my favorites.
Marcelo! I'm so so glad to see that Juan Manuel, Tabac Rose and Rose of Dangerous Flamenco are in this line up! That Simone Andreoli fragrance that Kevin introduced to me when I met him at Oligarch, changed my perception on rose completely 🎉🤩
Terrific selections Marcelo. While I’m not typically a rose fan, I love Zaharoff Halfeti Black Rose and am a Simone Anderoli fanboy. Just proves that there is a way to present any note to appeal to one’s nose. 👍👍👍👍
Alexandria II is an addiction! 3 sprays and you smell it all day, but I constantly have to fight the urge to re-spray and re-spray wanting to experience it from the top all over again. Just magic
It's funny what you shared, because I have to hold myself back from over spraying too🥰 I do love the opening of the fragrance and those early seduction notes ♥️ Great to hear from you @keeganfouse5918
Great video. I like several Rose Oud fragrances and Amouage Lyric man but tbh its hard to know if I like the Rose notes themselves or just how they're used in conjuction with other ingredients. the problem is I always have so many fragrances I want to try that I don't normally get to single out one ingredient like I did with Oud.
Maybe try a few rose soliflores? That might give you an idea. Serge Lutens 'La Fille de Berlin' and Frederick Malle 'Une Rose' (called Rose Tonerre now and has changed a bit I think) are two which are probably widely available.
I have to say that, except for radical rose, I don't own that many roses fragrances. However, one notable exception is "Saja", by Loumari, which I quite enjoy I must say. Great episode!
Hi Marcelo, refreshingly new perfumes at least to me, hearing most of them for the first time which is great. Awesome line up. My favourite rose perfumes are Alexandria II, Carolina Herrera Burning Rose and Maison Francis Kurkdjian L'Homme À la Rose
Great to hear from you Aditya💫 and so happy that there are some new suggestions for you from this list! I personally love testing new things...hope that same for you 😬 I haven't tested Carolina Herrera Burning Rose; but love your other 2 suggestions♥️ Always great to connect homie👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yes, of course. Trying new things and listening to new things is what keeps this hobby so interesting. I want an incense rose in my collection. Amouage Rose Incense sounds great, also have Andy Tauer's Incense Rose on my radar which might be lighter on the pocket given it comes in 50 ml, but I guess the former will have more oomph without a doubt. Same here homie, always pleasure to enjoy your videos and hear your thoughts!
Enjoyed the vid! As a rose fanatic, I would note one (possibly two related) thing(s). Anything with a heavy dose of natural rose (irrespective of type) can be *very* different on different people. The same is true even when the rose accord is worked to various degrees to bring out different aspects. Environmental conditions (temperature etc) can also have a very large influence. For example, Rose de Taif extrait (a very different, and I'd hazard far superior, proposition to the EDP) is one II've now worn a good number of times and shared with a number of friends. The profile varies enormously both from person to person and in dufferent conditions. I've had lemony and aromatic in some occasions, and deep and rich on others. Sometimes both. On one friend, it was an almost entirely different fragrance. The rose in Rose Incense pulls bright and vanillic rather than dark on me (though the perfume dies not come across vanillic as a whole). The incense is greenish and somewhat aromatic. Test carefully when selecting anything, and most certainly with roses (although ones which are light on the rose with heavy aromachemical construction like Tabac Rose are likely to be more consistent). Happy rose hunting! Should you fall down a rose hole, just enjoy it 🌹
I do love rose as a masculine scent. I think it can be so versatile from day wear to date night. My favorite rose scent for date night is Lyric Man. My favorite for day out is l’homme a la rose.
Rose has very quickly become one of my favourite scents in fragrances … BDK Tabac rose is define the lemon really pops on my skin during the opening combine that with the rose and it’s just magic the dry down WOW chocolate rose honey!!! Amouage Rose incense is another Rose I own and honestly it’s perfection dark mysterious hard hitting a combination of spice and rose that just intertwine with each other perfectly … Honestly men wear your roses you definitely won’t regret it!!!
Funny thing, I've started my niche fragrance journey fairly recently and haven't had that many opportunities to sample rose-based fragrances, but the perfume that actually got me into niche was that one fascinating, dark and smoky combination of rose, resins, leather, musk and sandalwood that I just fell in love with, it's called Dark Vinyl & Musk by Bohoboco. It was unlike any perfume I've smelt before and made me want to seek out some more unusual combinations of scents. I think I now have to try out that Amouage, sounds like it would be right up my alley
I own Alexandria II still learning the scent. As a man i adore rose scents. I really need to smell tabac rose. For now I want Potrait of a Lady and MFK satin mood :)
Awesome to hear from you Andy and yes, a massive recommendation on Tabac Rose...this is truely incredible. However if you're going into summer, I wouldn't recommend so much...however if it's winter; then 100000000% YES!!!🥰 Thanks for jumping into the conversation @Andy-kf8fl
I stumbled unaware into 🌹 only to discover it is my fav note in all of perfumerie. Of your list I’ve only smelled Alexandria ii. I am intensely interested in GZ Black Rose as well as Tabac Rose. I really like what you’ve said at @20:05 NOT TO BE WASTED IN THE CARD- I can appreciate this, as when store sampling when it comes to rose.. it’s always tested on skin
♥️ I always feel like I’m going to cry or lose my breath when I see a flamenco performance! The first time I went, I was in the front row in a large auditorium. I went by myself. At one point, I almost went to grip the hand of the complete stranger sitting next to me! 😂 Gracias a Dios, I have restraint. Good flamenco is powerful.
Unfortunately haven’t tried a lot of fragrances from this selection, but my current favourite rose scent is definitely 06 incence rosé by Tauer, opens up very sparkly and fizzy with a dominant rose supported by cardamom and clementine. Then in the drydown a sort of fresh and slightly spicy incense dominates backed up by myrrh and the slightest hint of castoreum (which isn’t really funky to my nose), there’s also an orris note in the drydown which I don’t really get the smell of, but does definitely add a slight powdery texture. Also lasts a really long time so would absolutely recommend you try it out!
Hi! I don't own anything rose, but I'm glad to see Simone Andreoli here ! You should definitely try Ocean of a Midnight Moon ! It's a 10/10 aquatic 🌬🌊🌊🌊🌌
Thank you, Marcelo, for this amazing breakdown of this super note (you have put in a heck of alot of time into this). I wonder if notes can be put into categories? I must get my nose on some of the perfumes you mention. Another one you may wanna get your nose on (unless its already in the perfume library) is Ramon Monegal Hazy Rose. Just a little away from the subject, when you mentioned the Taif rose, a memory came to me. Not long ago, I tasted Taif honey. And I can tell you that it is seriously out of this world. I love honey, and I had not tasted anything like it before. I hope you get your hands on authentic Taif honey and taste it. See you if you can compare it with any of your rose perfumes. In my humble opinion, I dont think you will find any comparable perfumes, but then again, I'm a complete novice in the world of niche perfume 😊. Take care
I know it must have been difficult to choose 7, so you need a second and maybe a third one on Rose. My favourite Rose is Signature Rose from Zaharoff, gotta love George the man too. Signature Rose to me is home, the mystical practices of the Orthodox Church, it is also the only one I am aware of that has two different types of Rose. Probably leaning a bit more feminine but as Kevin said before, overwhelmingly male customers for it. That Black Rose bottle must be the best in the industry. Rose is also one of those notes that is often paired with oud in middle eastern fragrances like Oud Republic, Rimal, Fakhama, etc. This may be worthy of another line up the combination of two notes like oud and rose. Edit and correction: Fakhama actually has three types of rose. 😅 Love these line up videos ❤
There were 3 things that I knew that would happen on the release of this episode: 1. That you would be commenting ✅ 2. That you would be commenting on how much you love Signature Rose ✅ 3. That you hold George in high regards ✅ Boom 💥😎 And yes, I think I need to do another line up...this episode has been a great success today; clearly we all love a beautiful Rose fragrance♥️ Always good to hear from you Ilias👊🏽 And following on from Eds comment @EdsProlixe ; you should check out Anka Kus 'Ismael Effendi, The Rose Bandit'; this is another of my favourite rose fragrance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oZ0TSEmHJDk.html Great to hear from you boys!
Love the rose spotlight, love the details you put out into the world, Marcello🙂 I only have Tabac Rose from this lineup but I agree it is a masterpiece. I got my Une Nuit Nomade collection and I love Click Song but also received Rose America amongst other extras. I love Rose America better, I think. Still early stages of testing but that's where am at this time. I have to get my hands on Black Rose Halfeti and Rose Incense. Such an understated floral note (rose) but probably the most divine, at least for me!
Awesome to read your comment Kartik and clearly I need to check out Rose America, I've heard from others that this one is beautiful♥️ And yes, big recommendation for Rose Incense and Black Rose...two very different rose fragrance's but both amazing Thanks for jumping into the conversation Kartik; always great to connect💫
Well as a man I love to wear Portrait of a lady, Eau Rose Eau De Parfum Diptyque, Rose Oud By Kilian, Pearl Oud By Kilian, L'Homme À la Rose Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Rose de Russie Tom Ford, Rose D'Amalfi Tom Ford, Crimson Rocks Amouage, Ambre Nuit Dior and maaany more..🥀
I love love love Rose de Jamal. It is an absolute stunner. Outstanding quality, beautiful composition, and an incredibly easy wear. One of the few fragrances that make me think 'I'd be perfectly happy if I just smelled like this all the time'.
Another beautiful video! I'd recommend trying Atomic Rose from Initio. It's such a beautiful fragrance and one that always takes me back when I smell it
Great to hear from you Waleed and I need to explore the Initio range...have heard many great things about Atomic Rose, so I do look forward to testing this one out
Great video with interesting suggestions, as always. On this list I've only smelled Tabac Rose, but look forward to sampling the other ones. For those who are into sweet gourmands as well as rose, I would highly recommend Xerjoff K'Bridge Club. To my nose it smells like rose flavoured Turkish Delight with hints of coffee. Fantastic performance as well.
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Marcelo, am about to bite the bullet and try a Maté, then watch Maté talk with you ;how many teaspoons in a cup? Again with a Benny Hill salute 🫡
@@deannstanglenny9431 Boom! Perfect!! This is the best one for 'New Recruits' Yerba Mate should be a little over half of your cup (add one teaspoon of sugar on top) Bring your water just before boiling (don't boil the water, otherwise you'll burn your tongue and scold the yerba maté) Pour water to the top of the cup and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then put in your bombilla (straw) Enjoy! Then as you top up your water, don't put any more sugar. It will dissolve slowly on each pour and the mate will become progressively bitter (but not as strong as the first few pours). This is a good thing as you want to eventually drink it without sugar (better for you) I would to hear how you go with it! Very excited for you Stani!!!💫🧉
Great video Marcelo as always. I really enjoyed watching your description of each fragrance. From your list I own Alex II and Rose Incense. For me Radical Rose is one the best rose fragrances, followed by Amouage Lyric. Greetings from Croatia.
Thank you💫 So happy that you enjoyed this episode @elvispandurica8693 and yes, totally agree with you that both Lyric and Radical Rose are incredible....I need to do a follow up episode and include these in the line up! Awesome to connect with you Elvis👊🏽 🇭🇷🇦🇺
2 Rose Frags in my collection is Zenfira Bortnikoff & Memo African Rose , 2 fantastic Rose Frags But Zenfira is simply gonna different level in my opinion
Hey, my brother! Great! Great! Great video! Just love it and enjoy it! Very informative and interesting, Rose is my favorite note in perfumery I like it in any form - Rose and Oud combo, as a dominant note or not really prominent … I would recommend you put your nose in, I’m sure you did it already, L’ Homme A la Rose and Rose Atlantic … just very interesting to hear what you’re thinking about. I would love to see in your channel some videos about Vetiver, Cedar, Amber, Patchouli, Iris … Thank you again, I really like the way how you explain and represent your views. Good luck and see you next time!
I love Black Rose and id even go as far as saying this is the Rose for men who just are toxic or are afraid of florals. This reminds me of Declaration Dun Soir but they dont smell the same. They do however make it easy to wear rose. Halfeti Black Rose is really beautiful
Great to hear from you Edgardo and yes, agree with you that Zaharoff Black Rose is the perfect fragrance for those men who don't like florals in their fragrance, as it has enough of the aromatic/woods to assist in bringing down the rose note (it's still there, but not the main story to the fragrance) Awesome to hear from you, thanks for reaching out @edgardozara97
Onyx is fabulous. To have a rose focused fragrance from a perfumer who’s fav note is rose is fantastic. It as if he took the idea of TF Noir De Noir (which was the fragrance that introduced me to rose) and sprinkled magic dust in it. When I saw it available in the states I quickly got it.
Funny! I saw the Alexandria II mention on the community tab and my mind went to Rose Incense, as I do prefer darker profiles. I need that Zaharoff so bad. I miss a few favorites here like Lyric Man but not everyone likes that shampoo-ish clean vibe. There's also Carner's Rose and Dragon which I really love, based off the legend of St-George. It's an interesting one that starts out with a sharp metallic rose but then the dragon comes and the drydown is very incense-forward and smoky. I have a sample set of Simone Andreoli coming soon, I keep hearing good things about her work.
I will have to try rose incense and Simone Andreoli's creation! I can detect the apple in Alexandria II but not the rose🤣, (I have a bad batch of Alexandria II), I will have to find a new one! Atomic Rose by Initio and Les Sables Roses are worth mentioning. Atomic rose lasts forever!
I thought it was just me picking up a cherry in Rose of a dangerous flamenco. I have a 5 ml decant and absolutely love it! But I wonder if I would be redundant with my Fragrance Dubois Sirene and my Boadicea Victorious Bodacious cherry frags.
Interesting that you're also detecting a Cherry not in Rose of a dangerous flamenco! I personally am not picking up this note (but Sandra 100%!). For me this is more of a Fruity, Rose Oud fragrance I recently tested Sirene and on that fragrance the Cherry note really pops! Really enjoyed this one! Great to hear from you @drahaman thanks for jumping into the conversation
Not sure if you know this?? I call all those brave individuals who blind buy, Spartans. So my good friend, I need to announce on your behalf "WE ARE SPARTA"⚔️ I'm personally way too scared to become a Spartan, hence why 'testing' is always my thing😬 Once this fragrance lands, I'll be curious to hear back and gain your thoughts on this @SuperRocketKnight Fingers crossed 🙄
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Well it’s been a few weeks now so I figured time for an update. When the bottle arrived I tried it on card first because I was already wearing something and it didn’t do much for me. A light woody sort of scent. So the next day I tried it on skin and I got a huge hit of apple and…nothing else. I just couldn’t smell this one for the life of me. Turns out I go nose blind to this really quickly. The good news is that after a few wears I started to dial in how much I could spray and where and now with a small half spray on each wrist and one on the back of the neck I can smell it all day, as can others. And it’s the most amazing fragrance. I think it might actually be my new favourite now. Plus it’s got me a ton of compliments which is nice, because I was wondering if the oud would be too strong. It’s not what I thought it would be. After the apple fades it’s a rich, almost chocolatey woody fragrance and I don’t get a lot of rose which is what I was expecting, but it’s so rich and amazing I usually smell the bottle before going to bed at night. Also, massive thanks for getting me into this house. I now have a bunch of Xerjoffs and it’s nice seeing a fellow Aussie reviewer.
@@SuperRocketKnight Awesome comment to read and really appreciate you taking the time to loop back and share. I love reading that in fact you went nose blind on this baby! It's always interesting to read other subscribers comments say that a particular fragrance (normally a monster) that they can't smell it or that the fragrance is weak. Only for me to ask the next logical question, "can others smell your fragrance?" To which the obvious answer is always a 'yes' So happy to hear that this beauty hits the mark for you; at the end of the day, it is the one that connects us to the universe 😬😉 Thanks again for jumping into the conversation💫
Boom baby!💫⚡️ good to see your name in the member community Naseer👊🏽 And yes, French leather is extraordinary! I have a feeling that I need to do another Rose lineup… So many beautiful Rose fragrances out there
You should really start to dabble in zoologist! Its such a unique brand, i would love to see a zoologist series as you did with nasomatto and orto parisi - reviewing them individually and then making your top 5! Anyways, love your content!
hey marcelo, luv your work and also that panerai ....I was wondering, since you seem have a close connection with italian culture..how do you feel about squale watches....?and finally, more into the context of this video, what did you think about african rose?
Great to hear from you Almanak, and very much appreciate the support....thank you👊🏽 I haven't had the chance to experience (or was aware of) Squale watches. This isn't a brand that we have here in Australia. I jumped online to have a look and I can see that they're very much a dive watch...very cool looking. I'll have to check these out next time I'm overseas. One thing that I would like to do is start to include some segments on watches. I can see that there's a lot of us who are keen on watches too. Would be fun to explore this a bit more (your thoughts on this?) I haven't had the chance to test out African Rose; also another thing not found in Australia 😫 Unfortunately for us Aussie's we're so far away that we don't get the same access to things as you guys in Europe and the US....hence my excuse to travel over 😉 Thanks for connecting @almanaksioul469, very much appreciate you reaching out💫
100%♥️💫 This is a fragrance for life....once you get a chance to test Ruth, would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for reaching out; great to hear from you

🧐 Marcelo, por favor, tell me why Fueguia is pronounced “fway-ya” instead of “fway-guee-ya.” Is that a special thing in Argentina? I never heard that sort of thing when I was in Buenos Aires…
youve done several videos about rose fragrances but never mentioned Initio Atomic Rose you dont get Initio in Australia or you dont like it or dont consider it niche?
Awesome to connect and you're right in saying that I don't currently own any of the Initio's. They're available in Sydney but I don't have any local retailers here in Melbourne that carry it and as a result I haven't really explored the brand. Having said that, I've heard many great things about Atomic Rose that I need to give it a go...in time!💫. And clearly this is one that you love....correct? Thanks for reaching out @StringMachine
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector yes indeed it's my favourite from initio it brought me into the rose game in the first place. The other initios are let's say interesting. Maybe more for the experienced niche connoisseur like yourself I'm still more on the starting out side of things. But atomic rose is great.
I haven't experienced Alexandria III (we don't have it in Australia) but yes, I can only imagine that it would be awesome. I recently tested Alexandria Oriental and really LOVED this one♥️ Awesome to hear from you @batukendir5600 💫
