Ensar Rose is, to me, perhaps the creamiest of the Sultan Pasha fragrances that I have been permitted to smell thus far – and yet, if you can imagine, also maintains a musky, and simultaneous floral quality – the trio of which excel far beyond the vast majority of of the rose fragrances on the market to date.
One of the facets most interestingly at play here is that of the character of creaminess, or otherwise the totalizing smooth character of the fragrance – which seems to spill down unto every level presented. The rose here is one I can only really compare between a 2009 bottle of Amouage’s Lyric man that I once smelled (which although the fragrances really are quite different at points, it seems my only reference point for a rose of this sort) and Rose de Taif Extrait from Perris Monte Carlo. Both of these have elements which pour over into the majesty of Ensar Rose, and yet are, perhaps too ‘fresh,’ ‘clean’ and ‘soapy’ for the rose in Ensar Rose is much more multifaceted and unique, and much creamier, with a sweetness that ultimately seems lacking in the Amouage.
Ultimately Ensar Rose is a rose fragrance which seems to shape shift a lot on my skin, although it could be the notes around it pulling it in different directions, but to me the rose feels citrusy at points, sharp and green at others (often presenting a phantom geranium note to my nose,) dripping with honey at even others still, but ultimately winds up creamy, and through this creaminess we find our way through to a smooth and subtle vanilla, pulling out aspects of the gorgeous sandalwood which is utilized in a lot of Sultan Pasha’s compositions, but here it is paired so wonderfully with the rose, that it really has a lot of great moments to shine.
This is also the case by way when the vetiver joins the rose and sandalwood to make a trinity of cascading developments with vetiver tinging the rose green at the start, and as the vanilla guides you gently through these stages, the rose becomes aged quickly, and turns from a green budding rose to one that is just about to die – alongside it you find the sandalwood coming out more and more, eventually being joined by a very unoffensive oud and ambergris combination which on it’s own could compete for one of the best creamy ambers that you have ever smelled – a lightly rubied/golden hue: warm, inviting, and above all regal, it joins the rose (and lasts long after the rose is gone) to give it slight fruity elements (perhaps date or fig) as well as an edible quality (toffee, caramel, or maybe an exotic milk chocolate.)
There also seems to be at the midway point a tuberose/leathery/smoky quality, which feels as if it should be coming from a cade-like additive, without it ever smelling of cade directly – perhaps this is another effect from the oud joining the notes, but it feels distinct and different from the oud which here smells a lot sweeter and distinctly varied from those ouds which preform a leathery or smoky affect. Nevertheless, as one gets further into the dry down, the rose seems to have aged further into a fermented rose, one which perhaps turns alcoholic, and is met with the creamier facets of the sandalwood, where the two fuse and join with the amber, to create a beautiful skin scent that just dances from your skin to your nose – still shape-shifting: every once in a while smelling nutty (or toffee-ed,) still having the faintest calling of tuberose, but persisting primarily in a creamy, golden-rubied ambergris/oud/sandalwood affair for long past your bedtime.
As far as muskier, and more sexual, creamy and authentic oriental rose based fragrances go this one is impossible to beat.

Have you ever smelled something so good that it literally gave you chills and felt like a drug? That is Ensar Rose for me. I have my nose buried on my hand inhaling this so hard and so often it looks like a scene from Blue Velvet.
There is something about Ensar Rose that is simply magical. I’m a rose lover and the rose in this is just exquisite. It’s honeyed and smooth and luscious and I almost want to eat it. It smells so pure, like my nose is literally buried inside a gigantic lush rose.
The overall feel of Ensar Rose is exotic but tamed. It’s super smooth and seems a bit clean but also has this underlying slight dirtiness to it. Which must be coming from the smoothest and least animalic oud I’ve ever smelled in my life. Now THIS is a REAL oud I love!! This is not that stinky fertilizer stuff, this is unlike any oud I have ever smelled. Normally I like fake oud because I can not stand that butt like mulch smelling stuff. I don’t get the appeal of that. But this is an entirely different kind of oud and by far the smoothest and by far the most tolerable. There is no “tolerating” to it, this stuff I could smell forever.
In addition to the mind blowing rose and oud, it has equally amazing sandalwood and real and swoon worthy ambergris.
Okay, I’m going to go back to huffing.
Siiiiigh. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff.

What can I say about the great ENSAR ROSE? with two of my favourite ingredients Mysore Sandalwood and the rarest rose of all, Rosa Alba. The oud is also one of the best : Oud Yunus by Ensar Oud. Classy and feminine, elegant. I feel like a Queen when I wear this one .

Fine-boned, pale rose swooning in a sensuous golden haze, sublimed by a heady, yet supremely graceful, oud. Exquisite, and very sexy.
