Rose Incense sort of does what you’d expect it to, however I do find it seems to be lacking slightly on the incense part - it’s just rose on top of rose, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I find the scent pleasant and enjoyable, but it doesn’t smell like it costs hundreds of pounds at all, which is a bit of a let down. This bright, dewy note of damask rose comes across very light and airy, yet up close becomes more stemmy and a little peppery. Dry resins give the scent this almost leafy feel to the rose, thickening up the scent profile, but it doesn’t actually smell of incense at all - there’s no smoky facets or anything. Overall this is a straight up rose-water scent, it’s very basic and straightforward, and for those that adore rose this could be great, but for me it lacks depth and journey; I wouldn’t buy this personally.

While the reviews make it sounds like it’s not a heavy rose, that’s all my nose seems to smell. Leans way more feminine to me, and I don’t get much resinou/incence. Its still beautifully done, just not for me as the rose is too prominent.
