“You Smell Like You Were Smoking” — The Ultimate R

Rose Exposed completely surprised me in the best way. This is not a fresh bright rose fragrance — it’s smoky, powdery, spicy, and sensual with the rose sitting beautifully underneath all the darker notes. The dry down is stunning and lasted on my skin for hours. It honestly smells like an expensive person wearing all black after leaving a concert or jazz bar. Sophisticated, moody, and addictive. The funniest part is someone literally asked me if I had been smoking because the smoky note projects that realistically 😭🥀🖤 If you expect a sweet floral rose you may hate it, but if you love dark suede-like fragrances with personality, this one is incredible.

Despite some of the reviews, I think this fragrance is incredible. It is NOT a blind buy but if you like strong, rose-oud smells, it’s perfect.
