This is amazing, it is so middle eastern, Incense is done right, Rose is done right, its perfect.

Minimalistic beauty. Rose Incense is a familiar scent to any Arabic nose, even if they have not smelled it before. Rose Incense's soul is filled with Damask rose; a unique oriental rose from which rose water is created. It is stronger and a more serious rose note, akin to the desert mountains on which it grows. This rose is mixed with a spicy-&-woody incense accord made mainly of: olibanum, myrrh, elemi, & a hint of sandalwood. This accord is again serious & sharp, but calm, almost brooding. This accord strips the rose of its tenderness but the rose stands tall, refusing to lose all of its personality. Rosey, serious, sharp, spicy, woody, melancholic. Of note, while Damask rose is named after the Damascus region in Syria, Oman, the country of Amouage, grows its own rose that share almost identical smell to that of Damask rose, & from which Omani rose water is created. Per the brand, that is the rose note they went for. This classic smell, not Rose Incense in particular, has been quite popular in the Arab world for decades. It's sold in different variations by different Arabic houses. Rose Incense is Amouage's take on the classic aroma & is made with Amouage's highest of the high standards. A unisex, mature, cool weathe wear. Great performance like the rest of Amouage. Personally, I find the price too steep. However, for people with no access to such geographically-specific scents, this can be a godsend. "Like"

On my skin, initially I get a giant whiff of smoke and spices, and then within a minute or two a slightly jammy and even soapy rose appears, ever so slightly sweet but not cloying. The genius of this scent is in the balance between lightness and gravity from the woods. By no means is it a unique scent, but it is one of the only spicy rose scents I can stand on myself in humid summer weather.

The positive: The silvery cool incense with the ink and myrrh are excellent. The negative: scratchy cedar whallops you from the base in the opening. Its never good to have the opening dip to the base so fast. Above that, it distracts from a simplistic idea of incense and rose. Something in the base makes my stomach churn sadly. The meh: The vanilla desperately keeps this likeable for larger audiences. The rose, while beautiful, is receeded with the aeromatic facets keeping it in its cage to never fully bloom. A mixed bag, but if incense is your passion, you must experience it.

Barely used bottle up for sale in the US with the gorgeous box featuring the burnt newspaper and rose. DM me if interested!
