The Burren Perfumery Wild Rose is a fresh, green-tinged floral built around damask rose and Rosa centifolia, made for women. It opens with grapefruit and bergamot, a bright, slightly sharp start.

Lancôme · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Lancôme Rose from the Dark is a floral fragrance for women that sets Arabian taif rose, Damask rose and Rosa centifolia against the warmth of amber and amberwood.

Spicy and earthy touches temper the sweetness of the rose, while a smoky edge darkens the oriental feel. Armani Privé Rose d'Arabie and Jovoy Psychédélique have a close profile.

Moonchild Perfumes · 2025

Pink grapefruit opens it up with some freshness, then the heart brings black tea, jasmine, ylang-ylang and iris, with a powdery, creamy softness to the florals. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood build a sweet, warm foundation, while vetiver adds an earthy weight. Schuback Mol Escence Rouge and Hellenist les bras de Morphée have a close profile.

8.2

The Dua Brand · 2020

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

The Dua Brand Intense Homme Attar is a men's fragrance built around sandalwood, leather and iris, with a woody, lightly powdery and slightly sweet character.

Iris brings a soft powdery feel, and Rosa centifolia and abelmoschus sweeten the blend. Italian orange adds a fruity, fresh brightness that keeps the woods from turning heavy. Fresh, fruity, sweet and synthetic accords round out the profile.
